Reports against Eritrea based on what?

April 20, 2009 - Eritrea gained its independence thanks to the
independent work done by its own citizens, without any foreign
assistance. This prelude made Eritrea to be the most independent country
in the region.
Eritrea's independence came to exist without the will and consent of the
countries that want to advance their national interest at the price of
innocent citizens of this great nation Eritrea. In fact Eritrea
outsmarted the so called nations of influence in shaping world map and
politics. This majestic act of bravery, carefully crafted longsighted
plan to end Eritrea's occupation by Ethiopia and its supporters be it
west or east block. Tireless political maneuver and arm twisting has
been made to prolong the procedure of referendum that stamped Eritrean
independence. If it was not the independent back ground of the struggle
things would have changed otherwise.
The referendum took place after long lasting war that cost more than 65
thousands lives, wining at the time the most powerful military in
Africa. Those who forced to accept Eritrea's independence are still
working tirelessly to create havoc and chaos.
Recently Human Rights Watch under the guide of those who oppose the
independence of Eritrea released a report under the title "Eritrea was
fast becoming a giant prison," and was quick to be posted and reported
in many western media those who claim to report accurate and impartial
reports without even taken time to verify its source and authenticity of
the report. This is none but follow up of the campaign that is forwarded
against Eritrea.
Human Rights Watch has been very bias on its report to wards Eritrea.
The report in its totality as is stated in the report is based on oral
interviews only of those who left the country due to many reasons. There
exists inconsistence of collecting Human Right Watch's report. The
report does not carry any substantial verification so to mention. These
make the report null and void especially by those who view the content
scientifically and analytically.
The campaign against Eritrea is not expected to stop right here with the
report from Human Rights Watch or groups and organizations that did not
know the true history of Eritrea and its citizens. It may continue to
ridicule the hard won independence as long as Eritrea holds feast to its
value of self-reliance.
Here the writer would like to ask Human Rights Watch, have they ever
wrote about inhuman acts of Ethiopian occupiers against the peace loving
innocent citizens of Eritrea, during the occupation period, and even
after Eritrea's independence when the minority regime in Ethiopia
forcefully deported citizens of Eritrea and Ethiopians of Eritrean
ancestry? Documented tangible proofs are available if the same
organization would like to utilize.
