In a seminar conducted in Khartoum Sudan on Friday 19th February
2010, the Eritrean Community in Khartoum, denounced US sanctions
imposed in the name of Security Council and affirmed their readiness
to defend their nation and stand alongside their people and government.
The seminar was attended, by Mr. Abdella Jaber, Head of Organisational
Affairs at the PFDJ, H.E. Issa Ahmed Issa, Eritrean Ambassador to
Sudan, community elders, religious leaders and over 3000 Eritreans.
After an introduction, Mr. Abdella Jaber gave the participants of the
seminar extensive briefing regarding the situation in Eritrea . He
reminded that Eritrea has come through successive obstacles and
animosities in the past 60 years and the disguised hostilities have
continued by the US administrations against the Eritrean people.
He carried on saying that, history is witness of the Eritrean
peoples triumph to the fact that they have always prevailed against
all odds and that they will steadfastly overcome the recent US
engineered unjust and illegal sanctions.
With the cultured and rule abiding people and leadership that has
progressive and realistic policies, Eritrea has become exemplary to
those who have an agenda of domination and particularly to USA
which have openly become hostile against the Eritrean people.
The baseless sanctions against Eritrea were adopted under the pretext
that it extends financial and arms support to Somali extremists and
non-recognition of the externally imposed transitional government in
Somalia. He explained that, Eritrea does not interfere in the
internal affairs of Somalia and that it advocates the existence of a
united and sovereign Somali nation.
Still, Eritrea has the right to extend political and moral support
to the Somali people. He further underlined that the resolution in
the name of Security Council is designed to sabotage the dynamic
development achievements registered in Eritrea through the concerted
efforts of people, Government as well as members of the Eritrean
Defense Force (EDF).
Mr. Abdella Jaber also reminded the participants that, our biggest
responsibility to the Eritrean martyrs is to never compromise Eritrea
s national security.
The participants on their part expressed their willingness and
readiness to enhance their contribution towards the ongoing nation
building process and that they will always stand alongside their
people and Government and will rebuff any external conspiracies by
strengthening their unity and will defend their nation whatever the
costs are.
They further affirmed that the development endeavors being undertaken
on the basis of self-reliance and the nations independent political
path would not be hampered by external conspiracy.
The participants concluded the seminar by passing the following
resolutions.
* They denounce the unjust and illegal sanctions on Eritrea and
call on the Security Council to lift the sanctions immediately.
* Call on worldwide demonstration against the illegal and unjust
sanctions.
* Call on Eritrean nationals to stand alongside their people and
leadership.
* They will continue to work towards realizing the mapped out
