Eritrea is once again subjected to the never ending onslaught by an
unfettered three-person hung jury dubbed as “Commission of Inquiry on
Human Rights” with the ultimate aim to bring the country to The Dodo
Court, through a “supreme” venue in the enactment of injustice, which
by any means of imagination dwarfs The Kangaroo Court. The selection
of the judges in itself is also interesting as much as it is wanting.
Mr. Mike Smith, Chairman of the Commission, is from Australia, the
home of Kangaroos and Aborigines, while Ms. Sheila Keetharuth, the
Special Rapporteur of the Commission, is from Mauritius, the onetime
home of the dodo, an avian species, a bird, which today is extinct.
However, Mr. Victor Dankwa, a third member of the Commission, contrary
to the Kangaroo and Dodo courts’ legal practices in the selection
procedures for the job, is from Ghana, Africa, the home of the human
species and untamable animals. One would expect that, if not a home
court of human rights, a human court of human rights anywhere is set
up so a due process of fairness and justice is equally enacted for the
benefit of all creatures of the Almighty- humans, animals, plants, and
the earth- without distinction for none of these can exist without the
other as we normally know it and wish it to be.
What is in the name of courts after animal species, in this case that
of the kangaroo and dodo? Is it because of its long feet a kangaroo
cannot walk “normally” and instead it leaps and cannot move backward?
Do such “deficiencies” make a kangaroo less of an animal to associate
it with the workings of the unfair and corrupt Court? The kangaroo
known to science has powerful hind legs and large feet appropriate for
leaping and long muscular tail for balance in coordination with its
forelimbs when running. It can sprint pretty well to escape from its
enemies with the speed of up to 40 mph or use its strong limbs and
large feet to knock down an adversary. Mother kangaroo is also
endowed by the Supreme Being with something special. It has a pouch
into which its child, with the size that of a lima bean (0.03 Oz) can
crawl in, suck mummy’s breast, develop, grow, and live there for 8
to12 months under extreme care and comfort of the mother before it
crawls to the hostile world of the human species mired with greed and
cruelty. The kangaroo is just a survivor, though! There is nothing
wrong with the legitimate animal citizen of Australia. What is wrong
is with those operatives in the name of human rights they advocate for
the use of might against what is right and silence in the event
injustice unfolds in developing countries and Eritrea is the best
example of that.
What is true of the kangaroo however cannot be said about its natural
cohabitants, the Aborigines. When Europe set foot in present day
Australia in the mid-16th century, there were about 1,500 Europeans
(more than 50% of them convicts) and about 100,000 Aborigines. Today
Australia is home for more than 23.5 million people and of these only
about 400,000 are Aborigines, while the population of the Kangaroos
tops 34.3 million strong, quite a revealing statistic that brings
shame to the advocates of human rights. Obviously, the kangaroos did
not come to the rescue of their natural cohabitants, the Aborigines.
They have problems of their own to deal with, of course. It would not
be for long before the human masters, the non-Aboriginal Australians,
turn around and use their arsenals, the “germs, guns, and steel” more
extensively against the kangaroos as they did against their life
partners of 60,000 years, the Aborigines. Mummy kangaroo, tighten
your pouch, spare your womb, strengthen your limbs, and keep your
running skill up to par. They are already planning to commit man (I
mean ‘kangaroo’) mass slaughter on you and your kind. They do not
have enough of anything. They can’t! Everything of anything should
be for them, of them, and about them!
Mother kangaroo, please look at your life long partners, the
Aborigines. They are victims of human cruelty. The Creator meant well
when He placed you two in a remote place away from the greedy Homo
sapiens, but it did not work out as He planned it to be. In the land
and society with one of the “highest human development index”, because
of the systematic marginalization and oppressive policies of the
settlers,, the Aborigines are suffering from disease, ignorance,
malnutrition, alcoholism, drugs, lack of housing accommodations, high
mother and child mortality rates, unemployment, and most of all
discrimination in the God given land of their own. May be you should
remind Mr. Mike Smith to come home and save you and your true lifelong
partners from the fate of the dodo bird in Mauritius before it is too
late. In partnership with Ms. Keetharuth of Mauritius Mr. Smith of
Australia has opened dodo and kangaroo courts against the very people
from the land of origin of humans and humanity, Eritrea. How is that
Mr. Smith and Ms. Keetharuth allowed to become the prosecutors and the
judges at the same time as well as accusers and annihilators of the
people of Eritrea, whose only crime is that they fought for the last
129 years to become free from foreign domination and occupation?
Before the arrival of foreign forces the Dodo bird was free and living
in peace. There were no predators in the Island of Mauritius her
existence could be threatened by. The flightless bird had everything
it needed. There were plenty of food to eat, abundant water to drink,
and thick forest to be sheltered in, lay its eggs, and take care of
its offspring. But the life of the bird in a paradise on earth ended
when human intruders (European colonizers and indentured laborers from
Asia) set in their feet and with them predators such as dogs and rats
made their presence there to prey on the mother bird, its chicks, and
eggs. Slowly, the Island was completely deforested and vast land
claimed for commercialized agriculture (such as sugar cane plantation)
and human dwellings and industrial plants as a consequence of which
the dodo bird became extinct for good. What one witnesses now of the
dodo bird in Mauritius is its imagined looks by way of drawings,
effigies, promotional posters and logos, and sensationalized stories
packaged as a money generating commodity to be sold to tourists.
There is even now a talk of cloning the deceased bird and bring it
back to life so that the self-centered greedy Homo sapiens of the like
of Ms. Sheila Keetharuth can collect higher dividend. If the dodo
bird ever accepted such a selfish scheme, it should demand to have
wings for itself and defense weapons no human provocateur, especially
the like of Ms. Keetharuth, shall ever possess. It is possible. It
is doable! Ironically, the dodo bird is a celebrity in Mauritius.
In its graves of course!
Obviously the kangaroo and dodo courts have failed animals as much as
humans, in this case, Eritreans. The alternative to these is thus to
use human courts, preferably human home courts, in assessing human
right practices and Mr. Victor Dankwa, an African, as that from Ghana,
the home of the great African Statesman, the Honorable President Kwame
Nkrumah, can play a big role in averting the destructive and unruly
behaviors of Mr. Mike Smith and Ms. Sheila Keetharuth whose arrival in
the Islands of Australia and Mauritius led to the marginalization of
Aborigines and extinction of the dodo bird respectively. As an
African, Mr. Dankwa should let Mr. Smith and Ms. Keetharuth know that
he comes from a continent, which is the home of the untamed, the
strongest, the fiercest, and the most independent animals and the
origin and home of the most intelligent, giving, and humane creatures,
the humans, a perfect cohabitation scheme nature wisely put in place
where the intelligence awarded to humans is counter balanced by the
strength and will to live independently by wild animals, a fact both
Mr. Smith and Ms. Keetharuth should have a clue that no longer is the
act of slave-master relationship tolerated and that Eritrea symbolizes
what President Nkrumah hoped for Africa, a continent free of foreign
dominance, dependence, and interference of internal and external
affairs of its constituent States under the then Organization of
African Unity (OAU), now the African Union (AU). Despite the failure
of Mr. Nkrumah’s dreams for Africa by the AU, Eritrea kept its promise
by being the only country in the world to ascertain its independence
and continues to do so in freedom by fighting against Ethiopia with
the strongest army in black Africa supported militarily, politically,
and economically by both east and west super powers at the same time
and this remains to be true today. It is for this and only reason
Eritrea is punished by the powers that dominate the UN, under the
disguise of “Human Right” innuendos. There is a light at the end of
the tunnel, though! The Republic of South Africa, an influential
member of the AU, is entertaining withdrawing its membership from the
International Criminal Court ICC), because of the latter’s stance in
targeting African States and/or leaders like what they tried to do
with the Head of the Republic of Kenya, Mr. Uhuru Kenyata. It should
be understood that three of the five superpowers are non- signatory to
the ICC charter to which they can refer individuals to the court, but
they are not bound by it, an act which in itself is a human right
violation of the ugliest form.
What is true is that while Africa can claim motherhood to humans,
Europe cannot say the same about Homo sapiens or basic life
necessities (domesticated animals and plants) as we know it. All
domesticated animals (cattle, sheep, goat, chicken, pig, dog, horse,
donkey, camel, you name it) and plants for food (wheat, barley, oats,
corn, rice, flax, peas, chickpeas, beans, tomato, potato, carrot,
orange, apple, grape, etc.), except three types of sorghum and Taf for
which Africa is home of, have for their origin in a latitude that
stretches from the Fertile Crescent along the east coast of the
Mediterranean Sea to Mexico on the Americas. The West on the other
hand has nothing to offer by way of human origin and basic life
necessities listed above and yet it dominates the world in every
aspect of human lives because of the way the statehoods and
governances evolved in Europe. At early stages of its history, Europe
was divided into many small feudal states, along linguistic, clan,
and/or ethnic lines, which were in constant wars and feuds against one
another and thus the inevitable, the drive to develop better and more
effective weapons, means of transport, and torture instruments and
facilities for both offense and defense purposes than one’s
adversaries. This way the West, from being the owner of spear and
shield and horses, it became the licensed proprietor of guns, nuclear
bombs, chemical and biological weapons, machines of all sorts,
supersonic jets, and now drones, and used these in space of time to
conquer the whole world, colonized every continent, even frigid
places such as the Arctic and Antarctic were not spared, enslaved
peoples of various countries they occupied, looted their riches, maim
them, and exterminate them if their interest, perceived or real, is
challenged or threatened by the victim as they are doing it now to
Eritrea and its people all cloaked in the name of rules and
regulations and human rights “advocacies” they set themselves to
subjugate the defenseless majority. It is ironic and downright insult
to be preached leave alone to be accused of human rights by the very
proponents of injustice, colonization, slavery, and looting and
exclusive owners of all sorts of weapons of mass destruction. One has
to only visit museums in London and Brussels, and see the instruments
of torture used even in antiquity to understand the true psychic of
the West now crying wolf to the innocents of the world. It is
indeed ironic, a society, which did not contribute to the origin of
humans and humanity and life necessities and one which did not
hesitate to even sell and buy Africans as commodities for profit and
colonize them for years, a force which is still keeping the
marginalized at bay today, would have the moral authority to preach to
anyone on human rights leave alone prosecute them on issues concocted
by the accusers themselves.
History is our all-time teacher, our evidence for the present, and our
guide for the future. Eritrean history is all of the three
occurrences nullified of time. It is the teacher, the evidence, and
the guide of what to become as a society summed up to one, SURVIVOR,
or else no humans and humanity shall exist anywhere as we know it
today for tomorrow without it. From the occurrences in Eritrea and
the behaviors of actors, particularly that of the US and the United
States towards the country, one can see how history can teach us and
the present can provide us with the evidence to be used as a guide for
the future only if one is a proponent of truth and justice devoid of
self-interest and manipulations. Let us go over some of such
occurrences, see the evidence, and learn what Eritrea was subjected to
and guided itself to survive against all odds and continues to do so
today!!!
Right after Britain defeated Italian forces in Eritrea in 1941 and its
troops were entering the capital city of Asmara, throngs of people
came to the open fields dancing and women ululating to greet the
victors, but the victorious army leader, instead of graciously
accepting the good will and courtesy of the people whom he came to
“liberate”, is documented in history to have said to the jubilant
Eritreans, “Nigger, I didn’t do it for you”, an act which is our
all-time teacher, our evidence for the present, and our guide for the
future what to expect from the Commission of Inquiry and its boss, the
UN Human Right Council, acceptance of what is false and disregard what
is true, a realism Eritrea would wish to be proven wrong about this
time around.
The British Administration, which ruled Eritrea between 1941 and 1952
quickly attempted to partition Eritrea into two territories along
religious lines, Muslims and Christians, the northern region to secede
to the Sudan and Southern region to Ethiopia (a country wrongly
described by the West as a “Christian Island”) a move, which was
vehemently opposed by Eritrean Muslims and Christians in unison and
thus dropped, fought for freedom against Ethiopia’s occupation under a
united front then and they are trying to build their country against
all odds now. Since the advent of Christianity and Islam, Eritrea
embraced both religions without distinction and prides itself to be
the home of the earliest Christians and the first Muslims and a mosque
outside of the Middle East. Therefore, to accuse Eritrea of a
religious persecution is not only a lie but also an insult to the very
people who always stretch their hands to God (Allah), the Creator, The
Merciful. The west does not have the moral authority or right to
preach any Eritrean about religious freedom or persecution, not to
mention to my own father, a Christian clergy, whose Muslim aunt used
to come to our village, unveil herself, and celebrate an annual
Christian festivity with him and his family members and in return he
went to her village, concealed his cross under his shawl for her honor
and respect, and stay with her and her offspring to express his love
and kinship in body and soul to her and her extended family members.
The friendship, the care, the unity, and cooperation seen among 50%
Christians and 50% Muslims in Eritrea is unprecedented anywhere in the
world! The sinister design of extinction of Eritrea along religious
lines by Britain did not work then and it will not work now, concocted
by Mr. Smith and Ms. Keetharuth at present. Eritrea stood on its
ground then, but had to soon fight another violation of human rights
by the dodo court of the UN sponsored by the United States of America.
In 1952, the United States of America, by denying the unalienable
right of Eritreans to determine their own destiny through
participation of their representatives at UN forums, sponsored a
federal arrangement of Eritrea with Ethiopia. Mr. John Foster Dulles,
the then Secretary of State of the USA, had to illegally push for the
federation of Eritrea with Ethiopia, but could not conceal the
injustice that befallen on Eritrea when he said, “If it were for the
legitimate right of people, Eritreans should have gotten their
independence, but in the interest of the United States in the Red Sea
basin and world peace, the country [Eritrea] should be federated with
our ally, Ethiopia.”, a verdict, which can happen only in a “kangaroo
court” in which basic right of a people is denied for the sake of
one’s “interest“ and that of an “ally” and “world peace in the Red Sea
basin“, a wish, which never happened for the last 63 years and it will
not in the future unless otherwise justice is served, truth is told by
the western media, NGOs and civil societies cease to be instruments
for political ends, superpowers refrain from using the Red Sea basin
as their staging grounds for confrontation and/or domination among one
another in collaboration with regional client states like Ethiopia,
countries in the area avoid hegemony and instead work for peace,
harmony, and cooperation, and the UN and its agencies do their
responsibilities right.
The forced federal arrangement of Eritrea with Ethiopia was to end in
1962, i.e., after ten years of its pronouncement and then to bring the
case to the UN for the people of Eritrea to decide whether they wish
to continue with such arrangement or not. Instead, Imperial Ethiopia
unitarily annulled the federal arrangement and declared Eritrea as one
of its thirteen provinces and dissolved the country’s Government,
Parliament, and Military establishments by force. Despite repeated
calls by the then Eritrean Government, civic societies, and noted
personalities in the country for the UN to intervene and reverse the
move taken by Ethiopia, such a plea got no response from the world
body, the sponsor of the federal arrangement and of course not from
the international human right agencies now crying foul by alleging
that certain human rights are being violated by Eritrea, itself the
very victim of injustices, of a dodo court ruling, a verdict on the
extinction of the country as a state!
During the ten-year period of Federation, Imperial Ethiopia
step-by-step dismantled the civil, judiciary, military, and every
other state institutions, replaced the national languages, Tigrigna
and Arabic, with Amharic, schools were forced to teach children in a
language alien to them, and finally at gun points ordered the members
of the Eritrean Parliament to sign the dissolution of the federation
agreement. The state flag was lowered and replaced by the Ethiopian
flag and the painful era of armed struggle began.
After two decades of peaceful protest, Eritreans had no other choice
but to launch an armed struggle in 1961, which lasted for thirty years
of war and destruction by Ethiopia with the full knowledge and
involvement of the superpowers, particularly the US and USSR. All
kinds of weapons except the atomic bomb were used in Eritrea, mostly
provided by the two supper powers. Use of prohibited cluster bombs
and nerve gases and poisoning of wells were not even spared. There
were times when people were ran over by tanks alive. Civilians,
particularly women and children, were killed en masse by blanket
bombardment of villages, market places, schools, and places of
worships, with the devious intent “to kill the fish drain the water”
campaign by Ethiopian forces, at times physically assisted by
American, Cuban, Soviet Union, and East German troops and/or advisors.
The price paid for liberty and justice was immense as much as it was
painful, a feeling, which resonates in every Eritrean living today.
Eritrea lost sixty thousands of its freedom fighter sons and daughters
and ten thousand of them disabled. During those thirty long years,
more than five hundred thousand Eritrean children, mothers, and
fathers were displaced internally in Eritrea and equal number of them
became refugees in the Sudan, a staggering statistic and a horrific
human tragedy, which was completely ignored by the United Nations, a
country which was vehemently opposed by the United States and Soviet
Union politically and militarily, vilified by the western media,
especially at the time by the likes of New York Times, BBC, The
Guardian, and Reuters, as an Arab instigated, secessionist, Muslim
movement of bandits, the only time they would be interested in
covering the situation in Eritrea then was if “Eritreans were dying
like flies” from hunger, disregarded by humanitarian agencies,
especially UNHCR and UNICEF in helping Eritrea, because the country
was “not recognized by the United Nations” then, and of course, as it
is true today, black- mailed by the United Nations Human Rights
Council of the atrocities committed by Ethiopia and its sustainers,
especially in this case of the influx of Eritrean refugees to the
Sudan and elsewhere at the time, a tragedy, which is now suddenly an
issue of “human right violation” committed by Eritrea. Well, Mr.
Smith, Eritreans might be kangaroos, but for definite they are not
Aborigines, and Ms. Keetharuth, Eritreans are humans but for definite
they are not dodos. Eritreans are SURVIVORS. If you both don’t
lose in the dodo court of your own doing, you will for sure lose in
both kangaroo and human courts of human rights, and more so in home
court of human rights if put in place in the right place, Africa. Men
of virtue and conscientiousness are always right! So are Eritrea and
Eritreans. Words from a victim and the innocent do not lie! They do
not have to. The evidence is always there, no matter how much a
villain hides the truth!
Slowly but surely what Eritrea said all along is coming to the open.
Former top officials of the US Government and not so Americans are
coming forward or inadvertently found in the act telling the truth
about Eritrea, particularly on those most thorny issues that pertain
to the occupation of sovereign Eritrean lands by Ethiopia, UN
sanctions on Eritrea, human trafficking of Eritrean youth, and
Eritrea’s human rights violations mantra, all interconnected in a
grand CONSPIRACY of the types so cruel, vicious, and ugly, all plotted
by the Ethiopian minority regime, customized and/or refined by the US
Government operatives or agencies, legitimized by the UN, and laced
with deadly venom by jackals of the type of NGOs, religious
establishments, and the news media of the likes of Reuters, the
Guardian, and BBC from news outlets and a pack of “journalists”. IT
WON’T BE FOR LONG BEFORE THE SUSTAINERS OF HUMAN RIGHT ADVOCACIES, IF
NOT THOSE OF MR. SMITH AND MS. KEETHARUTH TYPE, SHALL SOON SEE THE
LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL LIKE WHAT CERTAIN QUARTERS ARE DOING
NOW ON ISSUES CONCERNING ERITREAN SANCTIONS AND OCCUPATION BY
ETHIOPIA, TELLING THE TRUTH AND THUS DEMANDING JUSTICE FOR ERITREA!!!
Ambassador Herman Cohen, former US Undersecretary of State for African
Affairs and Ambassador David Sheen, former US Ambassador to Ethiopia
were crystal clear on their understanding that no evidence have been
found to implicate Eritrea’s “alleged assistance to the Islamist
terrorist group al-Shebab in Somalia” and that Ethiopia should abide
by the ruling of the Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission and withdraw
from sovereign Eritrean territories it illegally occupies, but as long
as Ms. Susan Rice, the National Security Advisor to President Obama,
is in a position the two just and legal cases shall not be rectified
during the present US Administration, a bold stand by the seasoned and
senior diplomats, which cannot be left unnoticed and thanked for by
those of us who for decades here in the US knew nothing of the sort
said about all the injustices committed against Eritrea. The Eritrean
and Ethiopian peoples should demand an apology from Ms. Rice for the
escalation of the war of 1998-2000 between the two countries, because
of her announcement of “terms of a plan agreed to by Ethiopia,
suggesting that Eritrea would have to accept it” when in actuality the
latter didn’t. The lives of hundred twenty thousands of Ethiopians and
nineteen thousands of Eritreans were lost and innumerable properties
from both sides destroyed as a consequence because of it and Ms. Rice
should be held accountable for her action. It is a crime against
humanity. May be Mr. Smith look into this and see if a kangaroo court
can have Ms. Rice tried for violations of human rights! That will be
the day of reckoning!
Denial by the Commission of Inquiry (COI) of the effect of the war
declared on Eritrea by Ethiopia and its refusal to accept the Boundary
Commission’s ruling, the UN sanction on Eritrea’s economy, and human
trafficking on the out flux of Eritreans abroad is to simply expose
oneself as a dishonest and unworthy of the task entrusted on oneself.
Never mind of COI’s refusal to see the difference between day and
night. It is its loss, it is its stupidity, or else itself is
untrustworthy! But it should see that the Ethiopian regime is still
occupying sovereign Eritrean territories and its declaration of war
against Eritrea is real. That is known to the whole world and it
should be the same to Mr. Smith and Ms. Keetharuth.
The National Service is an obligation for any able Eritrean citizen to
fulfill. It is not a “slave labor”. It couldn’t be! Only masters of
slaves can otherwise think that way, i.e., the powerful must subjugate
the weak and reap the fruits of free labor of the latter for one’s own
gain. In Eritrea there are no slave owners and slaves. The leader
and the led work together and share the fruits of their labor
together. They are building their country together they liberated
together.
In Eritrea national service is an 18-month legal obligation, which
every young man or woman has to fulfill and engage in tasks such as
afforestation, water harvesting, and infrastructure development
program. It is a noble activity that must be commended and not
labelled as a ‘slave labor”. There are no slave masters, therefore
there are no slaves. The leaders are products of the society and the
grassroots organizations.
Mr. Smith, Ms. Keetharuth, for an Eritrean to talk about oneself is
quite a taboo, but to make a point grudgingly I have to share with you
my personal story. I am an individual with a PhD from one of the best
institutions of higher education in the US, Boston University School
of Medicine. When I was asked to help in the establishment and
running of medical and dental schools in Eritrea after independence, I
had to leave my well-paying job in Boston and join my fellow Eritrean
doctors, nurses, scientists, and administrators in Asmara and in the
process I declined to be paid because I could afford to live more
comfortably than anyone else including the President of the Country
and his Ministers and higher officials. After about 5 years of my
free service, the Minister of Health, insisted that I get paid. My
net actual salary per month as a dean and a professor, when converted
to American currency after tax became $444.13, which means that I got
paid about 14.85 dollars per day, and on 8 hour per day work schedule
this means I am paid $1.85 per hour. Still my salary is 2-3 times
higher than any Minister I know of in the country. Please do not
bother to advocate for me for being a “slave laborer”. I am not.
Eritrea is the land where hundreds of thousands of men and women,
educated and not so educated, who fought and died without any monetary
compensation to free their country and people by giving up their
livelihood, their lives, and everything what life has to offer!
A claim by the COI that human trafficking in Eritrea does not
contribute to the out flux of Eritreans abroad, but the national
service does, simply because such a scheme does fit into the general
picture of politicizing and waging false campaigns on the nonexistent
violation of basic human rights in Eritrea, is again to be dishonest
with oneself and damaging to the people concerned, in this case the
Eritrean people. Eritrea, through its Mission to the UN, has
submitted to the UNHRC the whole truth nothing but the truth by way of
an extensive document as a rebuttal to the politically motivated
reports presented separately by the Special Rapporteur and the
Commission of Inquiry on October 29, 2015 and there is no need here to
go over what is presented by Ambassador Girma Asmerom, Eritrea’s
Permanent Representative to the UN. Moreover, the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs of the State of Eritrea twice called upon the UNHRC to
shoulder its responsibility in looking into the human trafficking
schemes put in place against Eritrea and identifying the entities now
engaged in smuggling and trafficking people of all ages and sexes.
What is however of significance that may be necessary to highlight
here are the new developments now surfacing into the open by certain
“journalists” and, from all people, the President of the United States
of America, Mr. Barack Obama. It is unfortunate to hear President
Obama publicly pronounce that the United States is keen at assisting
Eritrean women and children leave their country and at the same time
describing Eritrea as a “North Korea of Africa”, an epithet labeled by
mean spirited sources from one of the US religious establishments,
but unsurprisingly for certain “journalists” to be caught red handed
giving directions to individuals how to go about in the act of regime
change in Eritrea by focusing on the youth at Sawa Center for
Education and Training, two different approaches, from two different
sources, one President and the other “journalists”, one hinting of
and the other direct in advocating human trafficking in Eritrea, and
both agreeing in one thing, denying the sovereignty of the State of
Eritrea in the name of human rights, an act I would expect from
“journalists”, but not from Mr. Barack Obama for whom I proudly voted
for him from Asmara, Eritrea in his bid to be the first black American
President, as that the son of another proud African proud of his
father!
Eritrea is no Kangaroo!
Eritrea is no Dodo!
Eritrea is no “North Korea of Africa”!
NO DODO COURT FOR ERITREA!!!
ERITREA IS A SURVIVOR!!!
