“United State of America government agencies and departments have banned the export of munitions, technologies and other goods to the Eritrean navy.” “Nonproliferation Act” that prevents Iran from obtaining military technologies related to missile system. Consequently it was announced by the greatest power on earth, America. Is Eritrea a strong developed country on equal terms with Iran at the verge of acquiring a missile system? Simple truth: America wants to control this region. The strategic design: regional states turned into a weak domain of sectarian, ethical, social and political disintegration with no sovereignty.

Thomas Jefferson said “single act of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of a day, but a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period and pursued unalterably through every change of presidents too plainly prove a deliberate systematic plan of reducing us to slavery”.

USA State department states “The US restrictions aren’t to target Eritrea per se but to discourage Eritrea dealings with American rivals Iran, North Korea and Syria”. What a joke?  American officials when asked if the Eritrean Navy is allegedly involved in “illicit trade” the official answer was “I can’t get into the specifics”. The US State Department sanctioning, marginalizing, bad mouthing and encouraging hostility against it has bestowed Eritrea the position of key political actor in Africa.

The US State Department has been actively working against the Eritrean people and its sovereignty since 1954. D. Foster to present day S. Rice high State Department officials have tried to destabilize the country. Historically America is known for subversive action against States that don’t adhere to her wishes. Governments that were not playing the service role were overthrown by the US government. Case in point: Iran 1953 that brought the Shah to power and Aleande of Chile in 1973. The main cause for their disposal from power was that they tampered with the interest of “America capitalist enterprise”. As declassified documents indicate The “Monroe Doctrine”, what matters is the interest of America. The state department has in many ways stated that the primary foes and enemy of US world dominance are Third World Nationalist Governments. Like Eritrean leadership that full fill the demand of the nationals rather than to favor foreign investment that maximize profit and export capital from the host country.  Where rights of the indigenous population are suppressed and the climate for foreign investment is preserved. In Eritrea the right of the indigenous population is paramount.   

What US State department is fearful and paranoid of is that Eritrea being a young nation with negative economy at independence is developing economically and socially. With no foreign aid and scanty meager resources economic growth continues to be phenomenon. If such a nation as young as it is succeeds in bringing a better life for its people why not nations that are ancient and have more resources. If Eritrea becomes economically advanced and politically independent then others will follow and the whole of Africa will pursue an independent path “the Domino effect” dangerous example that would inspire other African nations. What the US capitalist want is a system that genuflect to the needs of the few World billionaires. Wikileakes documents and John Bolton former US ambassador to the UN have affirmed America’s hostility and ill-thoughts policies of the US state department officials towards Eritrea. The aggression of hatred towards Eritrea by different Nations has been masterfully imposed and managed from behind the scenes by the USA. Think of the lives that have been destroyed and the many lives lost. Lies, imaginary tale, fake news and manipulation makes one lose faith in the rightness and virtue of the American Government.

The Eritrea people and Government are refined and strong like iron with high principle. A simple analysis: Coffee, a social necessity in Eritrea, a fact of life for Eritrea’s nine ethnic groups is one of the domains of historical perspective. Coffee begins like any other plant, flower, seeds, planted in carefully cultivated climate and location. The location matters and has its own distinct flavors. After three years, a coffee plant bares fruits, harvested with meticulous control and painstaking effort for the finest of fine beans. They are subject to processing, died naturally procedure, polished, and sorted by hand, inspected for flows and defects. No doubt, unsatisfactory products are discarded and removed (just as the “Quasi Leagues” and “defeatist” in the Eritrean narrative). They are roasted and withdrawn and cooled with rigorous attention to timing for honed taste. The finest of fine beans placed into prearranged categories its life affected by the divine. As the processes of fine divine Coffee the people of Eritrea are exceptionally extraordinary they are seasoned. Time and again Eritrean Heroes and Heroines have weathered challenges brought upon them from the Americans, European colonialists and Communist Nations.  As usual Eritrean’s inner faith and conviction will negate and repudiate the lies, fake news and made up accusations.

The people and government of Eritrea have for the last 50 years defeated and overcome all hostilities. It is a country that achieved her independence by its own intrinsic worth. Thousands of Eritreans fought and died for its independence so the generation who are to come in their proxy can enjoy the human rights of liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Eritreans are people of high integrity, honor, conviction, decorous, kind, trusted, immersed with Love of Country and fellow, enshrined to humanity and indispensible to the survival of free Eritrea. No one however rich, strong, developed and possessed with might can subjugate Eritreans.
