continuation of their evil campaign, the enemies of the Eritrean people are
currently engaged in intensive campaign for imposing additional sanctions on
Eritrea, placing the TPLF regime once again in the forefront. The TPLF
regime that has been given orders to facilitate this design has distributed
a "draft resolution for additional sanctions" through its permanent
representative to the United Nations.
The draft resolution circulated in violation of the rules and procedures of
the UN Security Council fully attests to the extent of frustration on the
part of enemies of the Eritrean people.
The draft comprises the following:
- Call on all countries to take preventive measures of blocking
remittances in support of development programs in the Homeland on the part
of Eritrean citizens living in their respective countries;
- Call on all countries to prevent companies within their respective
territories to avoid carrying out mining activities in Eritrea;
- Call on all countries to avoid buying gold or other minerals from
Eritrea;
- Call on all international and financial institutions to avoid extending
any assistance or loan to Eritrea.
The purpose of such a draft resolution prepared by a disturbed mind is
essentially designed to provide cover to the illegal invasion and occupation
of sovereign Eritrean territories. Moreover, it aims at impeding the
development stride of the Eritrean people who, unlike those depending on
handouts, have scored momentous achievements without being held hostage to
enemy conspiracies.
The Government of Eritrea calls on the UN Security Council to annul the
unjust sanctions resolution against Eritrea and condemn the TPLF regime's
acts of fomenting crisis and instability in the Horn region, without being
misled by the current deceptive campaign. It further calls on the Council to
live up to its obligations and see to it that the regime withdraw its forces
from occupied sovereign Eritrean territories.
