*ANOTHER* day has brought about yet more far-fetched rumors and
outlandish claimsregarding Eritrea. This time, it was allegedthat the
Eritrean government *plagiarized

of its statement in response to the recent Commission of Inquiry (COI)
report, essentially copying a statement from the Democratic People’s
Republic of Korea DPRK.
As has become customary with coverage on Eritrea, the allegations of
plagiarism were quickly spread across social media, accompanied by
sensationalist or negative headlines. Again, much of the early
dissemination was conducted by fake online accounts, generally referred to
as “sock puppets ."
Then all of a sudden, amidst the laughing, snickering, and accusatory
finger wagging, came the truth. The Eritrean government did not plagiarize
the statement and, according to Tom Miles, Chief Reuters correspondent from
the Geneva bureau, the United Nations (UN) had made the errors.
