Dear Ambassador Rice



	My name is _______ from _____________. I am calling/writing/faxing to
	denounce the unjust sanctions resolution you pushed through the U.N.
	Security Council against Eritrea. At the same time I am also writing to urge
	you to reverse this unjust measure against the Eritrean people based on
	fabricated information.

	I am in support of the PresidentŐs policy of constructive engagement,
	reconciliation and partnership with the rest of the world. Sadly, your UN
	team has orchestrated these sanctions on charges you know well to be
	groundless. Why did you push for sanctions instead of engagement? Why
	threats instead of reconciliation and why punishments instead of
	partnerships?

	Your team should work to help the President implement his clearly stated
	foreign policy program. Please try to exercise fairness and carefully
	evaluate all the facts and evidence to find a lasting peace in the Horn of
	Africa and you should avoid falling into the trap of those who pretend to
	wish well for Somalia but instead are trying to destroy it. They are trying
	to kill two birds with one stone, to destroy both Eritrea and Somalia. Act
	wisely, the lives of innocent people are at stake.

	You and I know that this will not bring peace to the war ravaged Horn of
	Africa; in fact this is a reckless act designed to reignite existing
	simmering conflicts and to create new ones.

	Thank you.

	Sincerely
