US sanctions resolution in continuation of covert sanctions resorted to
against Eritrea: PFDJ officials

2010 - In a seminar he conducted in Massawa port city, the Head of Economic
Affairs at the PFDJ, Mr. Hagos Gebrehiwet, said that the illegal US
sanctions resolution adopted in the name of the Security Council is but the
continuation of the covert sanctions against Eritrea resorted to over the
past 12 years.
He pointed out that the vicious sanctions resolution is designed to impede
the nation's development drive, and that such a conspiracy would be rebuffed
as previous ones through the steadfastness and resistance of the Eritrean
people.
Stressing the significance of raising public awareness in strengthening the
resistance of the Eritrean people, Mr. Hagos underlined the paramount
importance of nurturing mature and active popular participation, as well as
strengthening organizational capacity in foiling any act of enemy hostility.
The PFDJ official went on to say that the full-scale war of aggression
against the nation's sovereignty and the subsequent all-round acts of
conspiracy along with psychological warfare have ended in utter failure
thanks to the Eritrean people's firm unity and steadfastness. Noting that
solid ground has been laid as a result of rebuffing such ploys, he expressed
conviction that the latest wicked design would equally be rebuffed. To this
end, Mr. Hagos called on every citizen to raise awareness and enhance
contribution to the national cause.
The participants of the seminar said that the shameful and unjustifiable
US-engineered sanctions resolution against Eritrea adopted in the name of
the Security Council is the continuation of past ploys, and voiced
determination to foil all acts of conspiracy on the basis of independent
political path.

conducted in Mendefera town, the Head of Political Affairs at the PFDJ, Mr.
Yemane Gebreab, elucidated that the illegal and vicious US sanctions
resolution adopted in the name of the Security Council would only reinforce
the resistance and organization of the Eritrean people, besides reinforcing
them in an intensified manner. Stating that US hostilities against the
Eritrean people is not something new but dates back to 60 years, he said
that such wicked designs ended in utter failure as a result of the mature
consciousness and strong organizational capacity of the Eritrean people.
http://www.shabait.com/images/stories/debub1.jpgMr. Yemane further explained
that major political, economic and diplomatic programs are envisaged for
implementation in 2010 focusing on raising awareness and commitment,
ensuring efficient institutional performance and productivity. In this
connection, the PFDJ official emphasized the need for active popular
participation in the effective implementation of the programs. He went on to
express conviction that the latest sanctions ploy would undoubtedly be
rebuffed through all-round resistance. Mr. Yemane called on every national
to raise political awareness and boost productivity. He also gave replies
to questions put forth by seminar participants.
