PRESS STATEMENT
At a time when heated debate is underway on the part of many quarters
calling for the annulment of the illegal and unjust sanctions resolution
against Eritrea adopted in the name of the Security Council, the
perpetrators of injustice, presently in deep anxiety about the mounting
challenge against the unjust nature of the resolution, are engaged in hectic
attempts to assemble lies with a view to stiffening the resolution.

The pretexts that the US Administration fabricated for imposing sanctions
against Eritrea were the Somalia issue, the non-existing so-called
Eritrea-Djibouti border conflict, 'undermining' stability of the Horn of
Africa and other issues that have no relations with Eritrea whatsoever, and
which Washington officials themselves have complicated and for which they
are to be held accountable.
Nonetheless, Eritrea's principled stand as regards challenging such
concocted accusation amply confirms its correct and just stance. To that
extent, this led to bringing about change in world public opinion on the
matter, in addition to raising people's awareness at the global level. In
the face of the shifting of balance of power between the forces of truth and
lie, the diplomatic priorities of the perpetrators of injustice in today's
world have become the dissemination of lies at the expense of truth.
Accordingly, these same forces are presently engaged in hectic maneuvers
through applying their veto power to prevent Eritrea from participating or
arguing its case in the UN Security Council or other forums. It is to be
recalled that at the time a conference on Somali issue was convened in New
York, these very quarters, in gross travesty of justice, also argued that
Eritrea should not take part in that meeting. At a time when Eritrea is
calling for a closed-door session with the Security Council in accordance
with international law, their argument that the "TPLF should equally
participate", constitutes yet another manifestation of sheer nonsense. It
is obvious that the objective of this act of deception is to give free hand
to the perpetrators of injustice and their servants for indulging in
adventurous acts at the expense of truth.
Under the circumstances, the Government of Eritrea calls on the perpetrators
of injustice that at one time pose themselves as a nation, and at other
times as the UN, the Security Council, monitoring unit, judges, and police
to muster the courage and thus give room for truth to prevail. Moreover, the
Eritrean government calls on the same quarters to hear its litigation, be it
at a closed or open forum of the Security Council, and thus stand face to
face with justice.
Meanwhile, the Government of Eritrea commends all those upholding the rule
of law and justice for their stance in favor of the prevalence of truth and
calls on them to continue their endeavor.
