SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Hundreds of protesters slowed traffic near city hall
in San Francisco Monday morning.
The group is protesting against new U.N. sanctions on the small African
country of Eritrea. They are part of a coordinated worldwide day of
demonstration. The U.N. accuses Eritrea of supporting Islamist rebels in
neighboring Somalia.
The sanctions include an arms embargo, travel ban and freezing the assets of
several businesses and senior government officials.
Protesters say the sanctions are based on false accusations.
