Asmara, 11 May 2011 - President Isaias Afwerki said that Eritrea’s equitable
economic progress based on social justice symbolizes its promising
prospects. He made the salient remarks in an interview he gave to Al-Ahram
newspaper.
Replying to a question regarding the unjust and illegal sanctions
resolution, President Isaias pointed out that although the US-engineered
ploy that fully attests to the bankruptcy of the UN was designed to
subjugate the nation, it was dealt integrated rebuff on the part of the
Eritrean people that frustrated its authors. In this respect, he explained
that Eritrea is in no need of firearms, but rather construction materials
and agricultural tools.
As regards the role of non-governmental organizations, the President
indicated that such entities operate as a substitution of national
governments and spying instruments of external forces. In doing so, they
paralyze not only the domestic capability of societies but also the spirit
of working in unison and partnership, thereby ultimately nurturing the
culture of dependency and relief handout. As such, these organizations have
no place at all in the Eritrean culture, he underlined.
On the popular uprising witnessed in the Middle East in general and Egypt in
particular, President Isaias said that although it is natural and acceptable
for people to oppose suppression, the developments of such an uprising call
for patient and deep scrutiny in view of the fact that it surfaced without
clear program, leadership and organization. In this connection, the
President stated that the concerned national forces are expected to remain
vigilant so that the revolution may not be undermined by external forces
short of succeeding to fulfill the aspirations of the people.
Regarding the issue of multi-party, President Isaias explained that
democracy and political pluralism are realized through domestic developments
of people giving rise to specific socio-economic system, equitable
allocation of resources and peace. He underlined that the western style of
democracy that runs counter to the prevailing reality and paves the way for
external interference through fomenting division along the lines of
religion, tribe and region is not acceptable at all.
Also in a replay he gave regarding ongoing attempts on the part of western
countries and subservient regimes to set up a transitional government in
Somalia, the President indicated that all foreign-orchestrated repeated
attempts to set up a transitional government in that country failed to bear
any fruit, as no chance is given to Somali nationals to resolve their issue
themselves. In this respect, he pointed out that western forces and
subservient regimes need to refrain from acts of interference so as to
establish people-based central government in Somalia, put an end to piracy
in the region and ensure the reconstitution of the Somali State that would
play due role in the region.
Moreover, President Isaias noted that the volume of Nile River waters is
abundant that could serve generations as long as joint cooperation,
investment and trade are ensured among the countries in the region. Pointing
a finger under the pretext of the Nile River is but an act for political
consumption only, he underscored.
