ReplyDeleteViva Italy!
ReplyDeleteGreedy criminals so many of our Eritrean brothers and sisters perished at the sea because of you.
1. Let the law punish them
2. Needs to be investigated why so many Eritreans have chosen life and death journey to escape the dictatorial regime in Eritrea. I hear the argument it's for economical reasons but heck we didn't have these many refugees flooding the world during Dergu days. So is the economical situation in Eritrea now worst compare to the Dergu days?
those guys did nothing,they only help victims of DIA.if they didnt do it also Eritreans will die in sudan,libia.so dont act as if u get a real killer.he is still in Eritrea.

I have come here to witness the desire to boost bilateral relations and try to facilitate a successful reintegration of Eritrea as a responsible actor in the international community and the fundamental dynamics of regional stabilization. "
Deputy Minister Pistelli had long work sessions with the Minister Foreign Saleh and Advisor to the President, Ghebreab, before gathering in a long and in-depth interview with President Isaias for the analysis of several major bilateral and international issues of common interest to the two countries.
"I found at my interlocutors great availability and awareness," said Pistelli at the conclusion of the meetings. "If we can share in the partnership, forgetting their respective recriminations that now adhere to the historical dimension of our relationship and have to stop the current condition, the potential for Italy and Eritrea are huge and mutual benefit of all".
L 'Italy is the second largest trading partner of Eritrea, but the exchange still hovers negligible levels because of the substantial isolation of Asmara. The aim of the visit is precisely stimulate the availability of Eritrea to the constructive dialogue with the countries of the region on the basis of a participation in the stabilization of the Horn of Africa, the activation of the development policies of the country, with a shared commitment to the protection of the rights humans, the fight against terrorism and transnational crime.
"They come to activate a path of cooperation on all areas of mutual interest, in the knowledge that in this part of the region originate many of the problems of security and migration that occur then we . And to do that I wanted to clarify here personally to the President Isaias in Asmara that Italy is ready to show a new hotel, which will certainly enable the mutual confidence that has been lacking between us from too many decades now.

Eritrea president targeted by new Swedish law – AJ
ReplyDeleteEritrea president targeted by new Swedish law
Last updated: 2 July 2014
Swedish law firm reports Isaias Afewerki and several ministers to the police for crimes against humanity.
Several top Eritrean leaders have been reported to the police for crimes against humanity by a Swedish law firm, as a new law took effect enabling such crimes committed anywhere else in the world to be prosecuted in Sweden.
The report lists a series of alleged crimes including torture and kidnapping, and targets Eritrean President Isaias Afewerki and several of his ministers by name.
“This is not only symbolic. We believe there are legal grounds to prosecute the people we have named,” human rights lawyer Percy Bratt told the AFP news agency on Tuesday.
The legal move, the first of its kind in Sweden, was filed the same day that crimes against humanity were introduced into the Swedish penal code.
The code enables judges to prosecute crimes regardless of where they have been committed or by whom.
“There is a lot of evidence from human rights groups, particularly about indefinite imprisonment without trial (in Eritrea),” Bratt said.
“There are also many Eritreans in Sweden who could give information about the conditions in the country in general.”
According to the latest figures, 12,800 Eritreans live in Sweden, and the number of asylum seekers from the country keeps growing.
Swedish-Eritrean journalist Dawit Isaak has been imprisoned in Eritrea since 2001, and 13 years on little is known of his fate.
Bratt said that even if the case was taken on by the prosecutors
, it could take years before criminal charges were laid, given the complexity of the allegations.
Eritrea, with a population of five million and a size about the same as Britain, is one of the most isolated and secretive countries in the world.
According to the United Nations, 4,000 Eritreans flee the country every month to escape ruthless repression, including unlimited forced labour for the government.
The one who slept with weyane in 1981 is DIA, but instead of Weyane paying him he granted them Badme.
ReplyDeleteNo Rora, he just hates the weyane because they turned his emotional lion to a toothless animal.
ReplyDeleteYou have one near you, Tekhlay Nejis.
