Ethiopia hails UN sanctions on Eritrea

Ethiopia hails UN sanctions on Eritrea

ADDIS ABABA (AFP)
– Ethiopia hailed the UN Security Council's decision to impose an arms embargo and targeted sanctions on Eritrea as "just and appropriate".

"The arms embargo and the other sanctions from by UNSC against Eritrea's government are an appropriate and just decision," Shimeles Kemal, a government spokesman, told AFP.

The UN Security Council passed the resolution on Wednesday, accusing Ethiopia's arch-foe of "efforts to destabilise or overthrow, directly or indirectly" the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) in Somalia.

The text also presses Eritrea to withdraw troops immediately from disputed territories along its frontier with Djibouti, and engage in diplomatic efforts leading to "a mutually acceptable" settlement of their long-running border dispute.

"The international delinquent state of Eritrea has for long been pursuing a strategy to destabilise the entire Horn of Africa and has been promoting and abetting terrorist forces in the region," Shimeles said.

In a statement, the Eritrean foreign ministry slammed the decision as "a shameful day" for the United Nations.

"As Eritrea has strongly emphasised in the past weeks, this brazen act is neither based on fact nor on the provisions of international law. It constitutes a travesty of justice and amplifies the dangers inherent in a unipolar world," it said.

Some 80,000 people died in a 1998-2000 border conflict between Ethiopia and Eritrea, many in brutal World War I style trench warfare.

A UN-backed boundary commission charged with demarcating the border handed the disputed town of Badme to Eritrea but Addis Ababa has refused to recognise the ruling.

This is a bad day for all African countries, to make it look the sanction application process was driven by "Uganda," but the truth is it was designed and applied by the US-UK (anglo-saxons). This has nothing to do with Shabia leaders, this is an insult against our intelligence using one of our neigboring country. In mid December 2008, the Ugandan army carried and transported by AFRICOM launched war against the farmers and rural residents of the area where four countries meet, Uganda-South Sudan-Congo-Central Africa. The projet was to kill one man Joseph Koni, and they killed over 1000, and maimed many more thousands. How is it possible for the Ugandan regime to apply sanctions against Eritrea when it is under the direction of the US African-Affairs thumb??? It does what they told it to do, its like a traind dog, you tell it to run, it runs and you give it a treat, then tell it to chase, then it chases again you give it a treat. Weyane, Uganda, Brundi, Kenya, Djibouti and Rwanda are all dogs the US instructs and they complete their assignment to get a treat.

From that stand point, its bad. Africa cannot do anything beneficial for their people, they are always under the influence of somebody, specially AFRICOM. We have gone through the first decade of the 21st century and Africans are bending over to the one that pays more. I admire Eritrea for standing up to the bully and rejecting it.

It looks like the drama is about to start. The sanction will only fuel the already fragile region. THE BIG QUESTION IS Why did China Abstain, and what will be the ramification of that for the relationship between Woyanes and China? Are the Chinese playing the Neutral card? How will woyanes see that move? How will Afwerki use that dissension to his advantage?

What are the possible scenarios?

Will the Shabia leaders turn 180 degree and offer to comply to the demands United States as Susan Rice said similar to Libya and Sudan did to lift the embargo on them? OR Will they stick to thier trademark defiant and sttuborn position? time will tell.

This is what Susan Rice said after the resolution:
From the United States’ point of view, let me say that we have for many, many months sought a constructive dialogue with the government of Eritrea. We have sought to encourage quietly the government of Eritrea to take the steps that it claims it intends to take, but it will not take, and has not taken. And we still hope frankly that they will. We do not see this as the door closing on Eritrea, but on the contrary, we view this as another opportunity for Eritrea to play a more responsible and constructive role in the region. We did not come to this decision with any joy – or with anything other than a desire to support the stability of peace in the region.

The United States stands with the people of Eritrea who have fought long and hard for their independence and to build a country in which we have great hope for the future

I stumbled on a news which says 30 refugees from eritrea got scholarship from america to study in one collagen in Addis. Interesting. So what hte hell is going on then we sit and look many shabians who pretend they are Ethiopians and go to shcool, universitys, collages in all over Ethiopia. We dont need war or sunciton to expell shabians. Send them back home, mr PM. Then they can register them in Simbelba if they can make it. Everywhere in the world eritreans are refugees. Why we deny them in Ethiopia? You dont know how spoiled they become when you dont treat them like what they deserv. Do you know the one who stay in Ethiopia are the worrest than the blind shabians. God knows how i get mad :oops::oops::oops: when i see eritreans in ethiopia. And i dont want to feel that way because it is my country, damn. Send these opprtuinsts sellouts home. When they live like forigners then it is good, you are not stupid and you dont expect any explanaiton. Even from the camp in Shibal we earn money, poor tigrians they must tolrate watching shabians but tolerate as long as we get money. Dont listen a word a shabian says. If he gets a free lunch he will tell you how isayas is a horrible preesidant is. This sanciton brings many refugees to Shimbal good for Ethiopia, good for the refgugees and at last good for eritrea againe if you know what i mean. My new year resolution is that i will do my best that all Shabians who pretend ethiopoian go home. And all eritreans i will fall inlove if you make our land free from shabians because it is shamefull to be eritreans in Ethiopia. I dont know what kind of material you are made of but still it is unberable to be eritrean in Ethiopia.

We Eritreans are not angry about the sanction imposed on us rather it give us a very strong message.. your last enemise can not be your future friends, because the already decided to elimenate you by all means.What make mt laugh is the statment of Susan Rice ,,either she had short memory or she want to insult our intellegence.Susan, Iwould like to remind you what your secratary of state in 1950 said "Eritrean should be free , however for our best interest she should be federated with Ethiopia" Now history repeated it self.If a counury move only on her interest on the expense of other ,,believe me there will not be peace and stablity in this world.No one can teach Eritreans what war looks like ,,we paid the most for our beloved country more than anybody else in this planet.There will not be any doubt that we Eriteans will come victrious at the end of the day.We believe in our self .For those African countries and individuals shame on you to push for sanction against your own brothers and sisters,,how much did they pay you or how strong was the pressure on you from the big boss,,any way I feel sorry for you for sailing your soul.History will judje us . Long live Eritrea and peace and stablity for our sisters and brothers in Ethiopia and Somalia

"THE BIG QUESTION IS..."

IS THERE ANY BIG QUESTION HERE?

First the SC imposed a general and complete arms embargo on Somalia on 23 January 1992 by resolution 733 which Eritrea failed to respect in connection to it what followed was resolution 1844 (2008) which was very sensitive as it prohibts giving "training and financial assistance to individuals and entities" in the Somalian conflict.

Resolution 1862 (2009)was a gentle request for Eritrea to withdraw from the terriroty of Ras Doumeira and Doumeira Island she occupied which was never respected. There are endless SC resolutions Eritrea ignored them arrogantly.

It is the Chinese diplomatic history not to vote for sanction, what is important about china is that she is not against it, abstain is neutrality. China and Ethiopias relations have nothing to do with Eritrea and it will have no effect, besides Ethiopia is much more important in international relations than Eritrea, if China wishes could have sent the resoultion to the dust bin by using her veto power but she perfered to be neutral, what she is saying is I don't support sanction but, if they want to have it on Eritrea, let it be, it is non of my buisness.

Libya's statement on the resoultion and its objection is not because Eritrea is innocent but, their understanding of sanctions as "counter-productive" based on their own experience in the past.

Eritreas reaction to this resolution most likely wont be any different from the past as Ahmed Duale of Somalia said it "that country’s past actions did not give confidence that it would change its hostile attitude." I think he is right, the ageing Isyass is busy dyeing his hair and asserting his manhood than comeing to terms with his neighbours and reality.

What is interesting is the statement made by the UK delegation leader, he said what follows after this resolution depends on the way Eritrea responds to the purpose and aims of the resolution which is "to stop its illegal actions" and "future Council actions would depend on its response." so they are being watched for further action. That further action can be economic sanction or intervention.

THERE IS NO BIG QUESTION HERE UNLESS YOU ARE AN ERITREAN, ARE YOU? It is very clear Eritrea is being strangled by all the result is death and destruction like their arrogant father Benito Mussolini.

Ethiopia's arch foe is not Eritrea nor the people of Eritrea. Today Ethiopia's enemy is neo-colonialism which has cast its ugly shadow on Ethiopia's political and economic spectrum. The result of secession has caused hardship and suffering for the majority of Ethiopians, whilst the minority whom follow alien interests continue to divide and oppress the nation for their own selfish quest, alien to Ethiopia's culture and tradition.
"When the name of Ethiopia first appeared in the pages of history, Eritrea formed an integral part of Our nation. Our ties do not consist merely in having lived together as one country. Ethiopia and Eritrea has served as one of the main foundations of Ethiopian civilization and culture."

Ye Inqutatash beg setetared, ye Meskelwa koma tesekalech,kikikikikiki. You see, but she will be dead 17 days later.

Topaz does have a point. Eventhough this was brought up as a "Ugandan" resolution even the flies know that it was cooked and delivered by Washington. Plus, if they are so concerned about Eritrea removing its troops from Djibouti territory, how come they are not asking their little puppy Meles to remove his troops from Badame. You see, he signed on the dotted line to accept the judgement of the courts in The Hague, in Algers. Of course, he was the one, as Eritrean as he is, who did his best to undermine the Ethiopian side during the deliberation. He has also accepted the ruling, in principle,lol. Etc etc etc and etc.

The people of Ethiopia and Eritrea are one, noone from any side can convince me otherwise. Therefore, do not expect to find me jumping up and down about this. What hurts Eritrea hurts me, what hurts Tigray hurts me, what hurts Shewa hurts me too. The people are one, its the green eyed monstors from the West, and their askeyami servant/squatters at arat Kilo fabricating all kinds of trash. They all come and go, Egyptians, Arabs, Italians, Mahdisits,Ottomas, British, Soviets, and now Americans and their achafaris. But guess what, WE WE WE, THE ETHIOPIAN PEOPLE always remain in the end. ALWAYS.

The recent sanction against Eritrea, which is of course engineered by USA, British and the TPLF thugs with some white worshiper state men like Musavani of Uganda, is unfair and apparent violation of the nature of UN.
It is not new that USA and British imperialist are using fabricated and counterfeit accusation to attack those nations who are not subdue to their racist and prejudice policy.
Virtually, American imperialist is the mother of all cock-and-bull story and the world has been witnessed so many lie from Vietnam war to the weapon of mass distraction of Iraq and Bush’s arrogant and reckless war.
So, what happened in Eritrea is unfair and sadden, every rational human being should condemn such kind of bully attitude of USA and its disciples.

Anyhow, the government of Eritrea should not be panic by such kind of imperialist bully attitude; instead they should focus and work to improve their relationship with the Ethiopian opposition group. They should understand that weyane is behind everything against Eritrea and its people.
Without doubt, USA and British government officials have been nourished fake and unsubstantial information about Eritrea by the weyane thugs, so that, as long as weayne is staying in power, the problem will continue and both people, of course Ethiopians and Eritrean will suffer endlessly.
The Isayas should redirect his focus and instead of encouraging and organizing ethnic groups like OLF and ONLF he should support and encourage the inclusive groups like EPPF and G-7, that way the demise of TPLF would be accelerated and the people of Ethiopia and Eritrea will live together with harmony and brotherhood with mutual respect.
We Ethiopians also should condemn the Ertirean opposition groups strongly, because if they managed to topple the government of Isayas, the problem of Ethiopia would be worst and both people would suffer under TPLF gangs and its Trojan government in Eritrea.
Surely, East Africa would be a better place without the Tigrain tribal gangs.

No aseb no masawa, see it tomorrow Ethiopia has best opprtunity to use Mombasa, berbera, Djibuoti and port sudan to access the sea, what would be the quest for Eritrea's ports? See it why donot you work hard to think better and with mutual advantage? do you think that the best way is just Cursing Woyane, cursing Ethiopia, just full of complain? wake up please!

I love seeing shabia dying at day light broad.I think 2010 will be the year of EPLF rat heading to Sahel holes and mountains as same as business back in the early days before TPLF helped them to get out from that sanctuary hole.Death to EPLF.

TOPAZ, are you a girl friend of one of Issias Afewerk generals. If you are, please don't forget how it is hard for young Eritrean boys and girls, your cousines to get bread the INJEEL that they used to enjoy and the freedoms they also used to enjoy. now there is none. I know you enjoy Italian food in one of ex-Italian owned places restourants in Asmara, when your boy friend higher official drive you there/\. but, don't fool. look around you what about other Eritrean people, what they got they long struggle of 30 years. nothing only fear and jailing. what is benfit of attacking Ethiopia the result tens of thousands of death. Today it is reality, that Eritreans less free than even when Mingistu was there. Today, it is reality that Eritria is Isolated than ever before from whole World. so, you blame any other body for your mistakes. your cousine Males Zanawi is most sympathic Ethiopian leader for Eriteria. He was one who you was free to do in Ethiopia what ever you want from 1990 till you attack him. what is profit. fighting with 75 million, with history of defeating Turikish, Italian fasicists, and Siad Barre of Somalia. 4000 years kingdom. Do you have any relatives in Wold you Eriterians other than Ethiopians. look you blood,cloth, culture, religion and even your language Even this big old Ethiopia orginated from this tiny Eriteria. you have to be close of your brother and sisters and recognize who you are in reality. you are Habasha. in case of confrontation you are looser. the fact is you need Ethiopia more than they need you. they may need your port, but, every body in East Africa has port and want to make business with Ethiopia, for example Somaliland and Jabuti are in competition for business. But, you Eriteria need the resources such as Agricaltural products, mineral resources from Ethiopia which nobody else will give you except Ethiopia. Come to reality and repent,

Hinfishfish Eritrea: stable Somalia is the best scenario for Ethiopia.

Some of the Meles cadres are trying to spread fears among Ethiopians that destabilize Eritrea is not good for Ethiopia in the long run. That is Meles’s version to plant fears in every Ethiopians vine in order Ethiopians not to seek back our rightful port or the entire Eritrea. Meles’s inner core thought is as Ethiopians fear of anarchy Eritrea, they will let alone Shaebia power control to see Eritrean stability and maintain the current borders including Assab. To the contrary, Eritrean chaos will be good for Ethiopians in the long term assuming Ethiopia has a true nationalist leader at the helm who can only think the interest of Ethiopians. The unhappiness of Tigre, Afar, Kunama and Saho Eritrean ethnics will provide an excellent opportunity for Ethiopia to isolate the trouble makers of highlanders Tigrigna speaking minority people in Eritrea and Control them with out much resistance and give the rest of unhappy ethnics their region to control and administer their affairs the same as ethnic Ethiopia. Kunama can unite with Tigray Kunama, Irob can unite with their fellow Tigray Irob and Afar can unite with their fellow Afar Ethiopians. The Tigre majority give them their semi autonomy with in the federal Ethiopia and the Eritrean problems is solved for ever. The highlanders Akele should unite with Eastern Tigray, Seraye and Hamassien should unite with central Tigray and the case is closed.

On the other hand, the stability of Somalia will limit the movement of ONLF in Ogaden and eventually they will be captured and eliminated the organization. Ethiopia will have the opportunity of bringing out Oil and Gas from Ogaden region to market and improve the life of all Ethiopians. Ogaden believe to be a rich in Gas and Gas is the most important to every households in the country to use it for cook and help the environment and more green to the landscape of Ethiopia country sides. Friendly Somalia Government is good for both people to do all sort of business and Ethiopia can export electricity to Somalia and connect the two rival countries for ever.

Does Meles Zenawi want to see the above scenario???

Meles Zenawi nightmare is the above scenario regarding Eritrea, he believes after his time in power Ethiopia will take over Eritrea at the weakest time to defend itself from Ethiopians. One of the reason Meles wants to stay in power is to make sure Eritrea transformed from Shaebia to other Eritreans and secured economically and strong military to defend itself against Ethiopia. The chaos of Eritrea will open the get for Ethiopia to take over with out any cost and bloodshed and divide Eritrea based their ethnic groups. Therefore, Meles has to spread fear among Ethiopians through his cadres the above scenario that destabilizing Eritrea is not good for Ethiopia.

Every Ethiopian should ask themselves that does strong Eritrea economically and military good for Ethiopia??? How???

The US has 1700 soldiers station in Djibouti and another 350 special agents mostly from those infamous "Blackwater" security force - In fact Djibouti is the special base for these Blackwater guys where they are trained by those notorious French Legionaires "the Berets Rouge" to combat in rough terrain.

What is puzzling about this situation is the US with this kind of special commando force at their disposition plus their now famous drone attackers ready to be used at anytime from anywhere - why don't they bring Issayas down or pay someone to assassinate him -

If they think Issayas is the trouble maker - the black sheep of the Horn of Africa - why not eliminate him? They have all the capacity to do it. CIA have been doing this kind of dirty job for decades

Issayas is just one person as Saddam Hussein was. Why punish the whole population of Eritrea just by association. The majority of the inhabitants of Eritrea have been through so much hardships as it is - why impose on them more sanctions? What will the US or Ethiopia benefit from this sanctions?

The US should open their eyes indiscriminatingly. The problem is not with Issayas only - The president of Djibouti is about to modify the constitution of his country to run for a third time and our Meles will probably be running unchallenged for this upcoming election or with a fathom opponent.

In my opinion the US should cast their eyes towards these 2 nations during their elections and secure a fair and open election and only then they can talk about spreading Democracy.

The problem is not with the people of Ethiopia or Eritrea but between the leaders of the two countries. As the saying go-when 2 elephants fight only the grass beneath them suffer. Why the people or Eritrea or Ethiopia has to suffer because of the animosity that is brewing between their leaders? - Eritrea is the closest kin as far as culture and religion is concerned with the majority of Ethiopia and we should never forget that at one time we were a united country.

Maybe if Meles and Issayas vanished from the politics of the two countries we will be able to resolve our difference and live as good neighbors

Ethiopia needs to worry about its own people that are staving to death. the UN sanction will not put a dent to the Eritreans.the people of Eritrea never depends on UN. feed your people you narrow minded Abshas.feed your people instead of drinking black label and talk politics at Ethiopian Bars.

"Why so much prejudice and hatred agianst Eritreans, I feel so sorry for you."

No single Ethiopian recruiting, organizing, training, arming and leading terrorists to inflict innocent Ethiopians in Bus stations, Hotels and other public arena. Shaebia is doing all the evil things to harm me and my families. I am speaking of what are the best available options for Ethiopia under the current stand by both sides of the border. Why should I talk what is good for Shaebia who is planning to destroy my country???

The one weakness among Tigrayans we have is we try to pretend and represent the other side and worry what is good for them, instead of what is the best option for me.

Did you get the chance to read the resulution? It says like this...
"The Security Council today imposed arms and travel sanctions on Eritrea for supporting insurgents trying to topple the nascent government in nearby Somalia."

So tell me which part of the resulution punish the whole people of Eriterea? The arm embargo or the ban on Official travel?

The sanctions are against shaebiya not against the people of Eritrea. They are suffering too. No need for hate. they are our brothers too(eventhough they have extreme nationalism and racism issues).
If your cousin got brainwashed by his evil siblings and loose his mind would you hold it against him? There are extremists in the Amhara community,Somali community ,Oromo community and Eritrean community. The difference is Eritrean racism has been scientifically orchestrated,developed and used by Shaebiya as a system of social control.Eritreans are people that have been traumatized by the various colonial masters who ruled and abused them.
Shaebiya is an organized criminal group that has been masquerading as a freedom front.
We east Africans are all one people. For us to progress as a people we need to respect each other .Wether you are from Bale or Bolle in the eyes of the ferenji you are one skinny African,no matter your socio economic standing.If we go back a 100 years all of us were either farmers or soldiers.Oromo,somali,Tigray,Amhara this &that we are all the same.
Harmony is the key.peace and i am outie 5000,biatcheeeeeees............

Isayas well done,
He is Ethiopian born and grown up Dessie. Still Ethiopia is neo colonizing Eritrea. He himself is going to defect for Ethiopia after he accomplished his mission. The same time this terrorist nation should be punished like the other terrorist nations. Of course the war in Somalia is going to diminish because no one is going to supply them armaments.
My other surprise is out of thirteen UNSC, only Gadafi of Libya; another terrorist leader was against this decision; he is AU president at this time. Anyway you can not expect gold from dirt. Eritreans do not talk, or expect too much about your self. You are going down and down and down. Good luck anyway, and live in peace.

Shegaw - Yayew Hulu Yedenekal,

Why don't you at least acquaint yourself with the subject matter before you try to impress us with your "walking dictionary" self? Try to find out what is targeted in this "targeted sanction." In my view, the sanction may help but won't hurt the Eritrean people. The shabia government can't buy weapons, can't utilize its assets, and its high ranking officials can't make international travels. None of these actions will affect the Eritrean people. I agree with the UN that Issayas is a disease that needs to be contained. And the sanction does just that. I wish they did the same to the genocidal maniac in Ethiopia but we all know that won't happen anytime soon given Meles' ability to bend over to whomever comes. But that also shows that UN is not and has never been a morally consistent institution. However, its lack of consistency isn't reason enough to be against legitimate actions like the one taken against Eritrea. The suggestion that just because we didn't get action in similar situations, we should have none whatsoever is a bit infantile in my view. If the passage of this sanction proves anything, it proves the fact that Eritrea is no Ethiopia and it got no friends left. Not everyday measures like this are taken against member states because of all the interest peddling that goes on inside the UN. And it seems like shabia not only doesn't play well with its neighbors but with the pillars of dominance in the world. This is a classic case of not knowing your limits. Sadly the mad man in Asmara mistakes his country for one of the world powers. One can only hope this sanction would put some sense into his thick skull and bring him back to reality. As for Meles Zenwai, we have no choice but taking him out ourselves.

Do you think in your feeble mind that arms will be delivered in Asmara in containers labeled - highly explosive - "Grenades" - handle with care

For heaven sake use your judgment -North Korea, Iran even China will deliver those arms hidden in foodstuff or pharmaceuticals. And it will not be too long before these sanctions will widen to include all kind of shipments.

Eventually the US will impose all kind of sanctions mostly aimed at Issayas but the Eritrean people will indirectly pay the consequences.

It is the trademark of US foreign policy (CIA) to impose economic embargo till the point of economic strangulation in order to get what they are after. Either the people of Eritrea will rebel against Issayas (because this is not what he promised his people - an economically bankrupt country but a country model after Singapore) or the other scenario will be that eventually he will yield to international pressure and abide to the "Law and order" of Uncle Sam.

Also the high profile government official of Eritrea are not stupid people like both of you guys - their politicians are very astuite - they will not travel with Eritrean passport - each of them has four or five other countries passports under their jacket. I witnessed firsthand in Rotterdam when an Eritrean was engaged in thug war and when he was arrested he had Ethiopian, Eritrean, Syrian, and Dutch passports - we are talking about one single individual with four valid passport in his coat jacket.

And there is no need for those High profile officials to travel - it is just a matter of delegating their duties to a lesser known adjutants who can travel incognito and do as much business as his commanding officer.

Also if those arms are needed for the insurgents of Somalia why deliver the shipment in Eritrea?? when it is easily delivered in Somalia.
So the real reason behind this sanction is not Eritrea delivering arms shipment to Somalia but just punish Eritrea for helping the somali insurgents. And why do we blame the Eritrean government for doing that. Both the US and Ethiopia want to impose their wishes on the Somali people by keeping that defunct governement in power only because they chose him to preside over the people of Somalia

Halafi Mengedi,

If you don't like the Eritrean regime, that is fine but to hate the entire population of the Eritrea becuse of Isayas is not right.

For me both Meles and Isayas are dictators.

Meles and Isayas are two faces of the same coin. It is only the removal of the duo from power by their respective peoples under their tight grip that would bring sanity to the politics of Ethiopia and Eritrea as well as end the proxy war in Somalia and bring regional stability.

The people of Ethiopia and Eritrea are one and I'm sure if Meles and Issayas vanished fr we will be able to resolve our difference and live as good neighbors. Remember we were one united country before and we will be united one day but not by force but by love.

The sanction is long overdue. One can provide a long list of crimes perpetrated by Esayas and his regime spanning three regions, to name a few:

1. He has already initiated a war or some kind of conflict with the Sudan, Yemen, Djibouti, and Ethiopia. Thousands or millions of people's life, liberty, property, or livelihood have been destroyed by this irrational aggression;

2. He has financed regional conflicts in Somalia, and as far as Congo where he is deeply involved in the “blood diamond” business; thus he has crippled the hope and dream of the Somalians to see a united and strong country;

3. He is trying to export conflicts to other countries such as Ethiopia from Somalia; and by doing so, he has dragged Ethiopia into a conflict that thousands of Ethiopians have lost their life and Ethiopian property worth millions of dollars have been spent and destroyed;

4. He has transferred money and weapons from Iran to Hezbollah in the Palestine, with the aim of destabilizing Israel;

5. There is a large scale human rights violation in Eritrea; the guy practically took hostage of his own citizens under gun; as far as Esayas stays in power, a kid in Eritrea has not any kind of future other than becoming an unwilling soldier.

The Security Council has an obligation to keep humanity’s collective peace and security. It is accountable to the peace and order of millions of people living in the three regions such as the Horn of Africa, Central Africa, and the Middle East. Therefore, the sanction is long overdue and befitting.

Eritrea is an independent state now.

Isayes might be an accomplished gurriela fighter, but he is a disaster as the leader of Eritrea. His problem emanated in his believing that Eritrea, having friends ruling Ethiopia, might be in the driver seat in shaping Ethiopian's future. In other words, Ethiopia should be used, he certainly had believed, to promote Eritrean's interest. That is a delusion of monumental proportion. Yes, Eritrea has a friend who is in the pinnacle of power in Ethiopia, and that, as Isayes speculated it, might give him a political advantage. But in believing that though Isayes completely ignored another side of the equation: there would be some in government whose political priority revolves around the interest of Ethiopia and Ethiopians. Had he accepted that possibility, he might have speculated there would be a friction between the two groups. That was exactly what happened. When his dream came to nought, Isayes did not throw his hand and accepted the existence of Ethiopian nationalism. He rather became busy interfering in every neighboring countries political affairs. That in fact has happened while he has known doing so would compel the West to focus in his bravado. Because Isayes do not have the wish and knowlege to see his desire apart from those of 4 million Eritreans, he could not assay what Eritreans are benefiting from his adventure. Therfore, he drove the country to more political and economic crises. To believe that by giving office space for every opposition movements in the area and encouraging military force as a means, a change of government in a neighboring country is due is an idea only a person who is demented can fashion. The neighboring country especially Ethiopia has a government that is willing to make a bloodbath the country has never seen since its inception rather than giving up power to an opposition supported by Isayes. Isayes would aware that, but it is the Ethiopians who pay the price, who cares? Leaving aside whether imposing sanction is politically motivated or not for others to gauge, I personally say Isayes should have known it is coming and should have tried to avert it. No, rather he started lecturing the tired history of his about the UN making the same mistake 60 yearts ago and that Eritrea once again being shortchanged by the international community. Had he given that excuse, say, 21 years ago before "independence," he might have thousands and thousands of Eritreans rallying to his call. Now, except a few Eritreans who are delirium like he is who live in the comfort zone of the West, and those who made them his system saviors by giving them unlimited power to starighten out any dissent, no Eritrean would fall to his propaganda. The guy is an empty suit. Any Eritrean with a few brain cells intact should have known that by now.

Of Course, wusha bebelabet yiChohal!

The truth of the matter however is that this sanction is more against the majority Ethiopians than Eritreans whose lives are not under the Western intensive care, whether economically, politically, diplomatically, or militarily.

This sanction is another dose of Woyane's brutality against majority Ethiopians who don't even have the right to choose their own leaders. That's why we don't see too many nefTegnas and genuine Ethiopians comment in here, except the new Ethiopian Woyane cheerleaders and cockroaches who defecate every night from anxiety, being nervous what Shaebia might do in the coming months.

No matter how much the Woyane mafia thinks it was winning against people of Horn of Africa, especially Eritrea, this action will instead solidify the coordination of opposition groups to work together. Unlike the 1950s, where there lacked disciplined and experienced organization, this time, Eritreans will be more united in their defiance against injustice.

As far as Eritrea is considered, there is no assets to be worried, no photo-op of G7, G8, G20...beggary meetings to be represented and no weapon transaction to be done. There was none to begin with. Eritrean leaders travel to regions(Zobas) to monitor developments of infrastructure and other economic dev't, and no fabricating body can stop them from communicating with their people, unlike those who are told what to do and when to do, to keep Western interest.

Stay tuned from the horse's mouth to learn where Eritrea stands in here!

Once again, against all the fabricated odds, Eritrea will NEVER KNEEL DOWN!

As a Gator supporter, the major threat to the UF football (you put it as Florida University: which is wrong to start with) traditionally comes from Florida (FSU and University of Miami) and then LSU within the Atlantic conference, and SEC in particular. Alabama is a recent phenomenon and always trails the Gators for almost two decades, since I started following the matches.

The problem with shabians:
1) most of them who sit in power or their supporters have been or nerver lived in eritrea so thier solutions or plan to lead eritrea is iron solid connected with the lands they used to live or living and they live all over the world. Even in Ethiopia they live like refugees and ethiopians. In their mind all have the perfect solutions, but when they sit in eritrea then it is like mixing poletical chmemical acide. and this leads to that the stronger must remove the others.
2) They dont know still that peace with Ethiopia makes them to stop to be refugee atleast in countries like kenya, sudan, yemen, lybia etc. Ethiopia uses kenya's, Somalia's and Djibouti's port and only on Djiboutis port the money transaction reached us $ 1bln. And this is only the port. What aobut the two works together and invest in both lands?
4) Many dont know eritrea is just like Ethiopia is made of different eathnic groups. and those who knows they think thier ethnic are proud to be eritrean no matter their ethnic group saffre or pressed. Their leadrs work hard to unite somalis while they are scared even to mention the brutal line devides afars. Asab belongs to afar and this issue never to be discussed.

3) They say colonolizers created the chaos in east africa but they want to be rich by the chaos created by colonoizers. Italy made eritrea dividing families. For italy the red sea is important not the colonized. the same thing to eplf. But the funniest is eplf is blamming colonizers for dividing the somalis in to three countries and he givs priority to the unity of somalis than eritrea and the takes the consquences. Why uniting somalis are important than afars?Yes somlis are divide by colonizers no doubt about it.

4) there are only few eritreans who know that they are following somalian's economical policy ie the educated, the well to do run to abroad and send money to the illitrates and 4th greadrs to lead the country.

Let's summarize what Shegaw our resident political expert said.

1. Travel ban wouldn't work because Eritrean top officials are smarter than the rest of the world therefore they use numerous passports to avoid detection, yeah like Essayas showing up in Rome on Libyan passport or his foreign minister coming to NYC to attend a UN meeting on Syrian passport.

2. Arm embargo will not work either because again those smart Eritreans will avoid detection. They will smuggle tanks and bazookas inside baby formula or medicine. If not, they can direct every arm to Somalia and then re-ship what they need for their own from there.

So why punish the whole Eriteria by these two useless actions. The best solution according to our “resident expert” is for the US to send a drone to kill one individual Issayas and all the problems will be solved once for all.

I hate to burst your bubble Shegaw but would you elaborate to us what will happen afterwards?Who will be in charge of taking care of those poor civilians if (I said if) the US drone took care of IA or the commandos assasinate him? Please don’t tell me the US army again.

Hey,

It is nothing new about arms embargo and other sanctions imposed to Eritrea.It is just history is repeating.in 1950s the so called 'big power countries including the States'gave their then Slave old man Hailesellasie Eritrea.We never accepted that, because we are just people who have morality and respect justice, and whenever we don't get that justice we bring it by our blood.

Now, America and its puppet countries are trying to do the same thing.They r trying to weaken Eritrea in some ways because the slave Meles is asking them for that favor.

We are the strongest people and we will fight to the end no matter what for our country.We know always truth wins and God is with the right people, not with pretenders and lairs and immoral people.

After the fall of the eastern block and collapse of communism, USA wanted to be the world leader. Declared globalization and free trade which put most third world countries to YALEACHA GABBECHA. Most countries (continents) wellcomed the presence of USA troops the ones that didnot wellcome this free trade and all should compete as if all are in the same socio-economic standard concept are geting punished until they do accept the concept.The industrialized nations want cheap labor and a market for their second hand products in Africa .Africa with ample natural resources and growing population make the first world nations really interested.The only thing stoping them is the countries alongside the ports . They are using Meles and the so-called weyane to weaken those countries in the area so they can sell their weapons of destruction and also defected second hand materials .Some worthless products in their own nations could be marketed in Africa in exchange for some raw materials or cheap labor.They are not looking forward to create a peacefull , strong and self-sufficient Africa. As long as weapons and tanks are used and bought from the western block why wish for peace in Africa is the unofficial capitalism standing.

Haile,
First... you're not making sense.

Second... the sanction is on Eritrean military, an arms embargo, on the leadership and whatever little pocket change shabia thievs may have hidden in the banks.

So, no white... no black issue but a terrorist state issue which eritrea is. Get it?

I think and belive totally that this sanctions on Eritrea is orged and paid,and backed by U.S. gov.If Eritrea rulers don't wake up and get it togather and stay away and stop selling guns to bad boys in Somalia soon or later the rulers of ERitrean will end up on CIA shittt list:D:D:D I think sanction is a great think maybe the gangsters will start thinking out side the box.This could be a good think for poor Eritreans maybe soon they have elections who knows:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Folks don't be fooled TPLF gov allows any Eritrea man or woman to come to Ethipia and fires Oromos and Amaras and gives their jobs to Eritreans.TPLF gives jobs to Tigreas and Eritreans before anybody else:!::!:

"Of Course, wusha bebelabet yiChohal!

The truth of the matter however is that this sanction is more against the majority Ethiopians88| than Eritreans whose lives are not under the Western intensive care, whether economically, politically, diplomatically, or militarily.

This sanction is another dose of Woyane's brutality against majority Ethiopians who don't even have the right to choose their own leaders. That's why we don't see too many nefTegnas and genuine Ethiopians comment in here, except the new Ethiopian Woyane cheerleaders and cockroaches who defecate every night from anxiety, being nervous what Shaebia might do in the coming months.

the easy way out for eritrea from this self imposed hell hole is to make peace with ethiopia while meles is in the office or else things will ony get worse for them.

shegaw from ethiopia's interest point taking out isayas is not a good idea simply because it could lead eritrea to another somalia or similar to that which is a disaster to the entire region. its better to weaken him so some organized group will take care of him.

well!
i think those who are behind this sanction know well it has almost no effect on eritrea for the reasons they themselves usaully say about eritrea such as...no NGOs ,no financial aid,no international institutons,no freepress,no olexport,no sofisticated military hardwares and military has no moral and fleeing out of country,starving children,leadership isolated not only from outside but also from its own people,no oil,nocars in streets, u see no departing and landning flight unlike the Johannsberg(s.africa) while they simply forgot what they said earlier to justify, satisfy their specific arguements ...that eritrea is a "tiny,small,redsea state etc.........
now!!!!we have had too mach on this and we have to shake our own head and ask ourselves....hw the hell can a country like eritrea survive for almost a decade if those images were very true...somthing is wrong here my fellow people and that is why i and a lot of my friends i know have come to a conclusion that this sanction is not meant to discourage eritrea but it is supposed to discourage the ongoing oppositions and freedom fighters in our region ...that is why PM meles zenawi hastlly made public appearance and send a message to the ethiopan people that the source of support you can imagine anywhere against me is dying...while the truth is the other way.....
but it may be a morall boost to the already demoralised leaderships in our region and time will tell us who they really were sooner or later as usuall.

I never knew there are many eritreans with Amhara name. When the shit hits the fan,you know who is who.I really do not want the sanction on eritrea, because I want isayas to stay in power at least for the next 15 - 20 years. The more he stays in power, the more they understand how good we Ethiopians treat them as brothers and sisters.
One thing the Woyane has to do is to help the Afars, Kunamas, Sahos, and Muslim Eritrans attain their Independence...you got my drift shabias.

This so called “sanction” is meaningless and nothing more than a political statement. As far as effectiveness, it will have zero!

Arms embargo is a joke. Eritrea has been buying weapons from the same people that most poor countries (including Ethiopia) have been buying them from .Countries like North Korea, Ukraine, Bulgaria, China, Iran, and Russia. None of these countries with the exception if Russia cares or respects arms embargo. Even Russia only “officially” respects these embargos while it sells weapons to anyone that has the cash. Prime example of this is during the 1998-2000 war while both countries were under arms embargo both Russia and China were selling weapons to both countries.

Same goes for these travel restrictions. When was the last time that IA went for a diplomatic visit to Uganda, Ethiopia, Vietnam, or Kenya? The countries that are friendly to Eritrea such as Iran, Cuba, China, Sudan, a lot of the Middle Eastern countries, etc will continue to host Eritrean government officials and visit Eritrea. There are over a dozen international firms including Canadian, south African, and Chinese firms that have invested in mining projects in Eritrea. Do you people really think that any of these countries will pull out their investments after having spent millions and in some cases hundreds of millions of dollars into these projects?

All this so called sanction will do is prove even further how biased and anti Eritrean the UN is and that as far as the implementation of its resolutions, is nothing but a joke. Instead of isolating the government from its people it will do the opposite. Even the Eritrean oppositions are condemning this sanction. What was designed to weaken the government is giving it more legitimacy and credibility in the eyes of the Eritrean Diasporas.

If the UN or AU or anyone else for that matter wanted to weaken the current government of Eritrea and even turn its own people against it, provide evidence that the government is in fact supporting terrorist in Somalia. If you have it why not show it? It can only help your case.

Utopian EthioMAN hallucinates:

"... the sanction is on Eritrean military, an arms embargo, on the leadership and whatever little pocket change shabia thievs may have hidden in the banks."

Dedeb atela, there would be no "arms embargo" that worries Eritrean leadership. As the horse's mouth on his own statement said it all, Eritrea has enough weapons to arm upto 4 counties, not from buying but confisicating from US and Soviet supplied gov'ts of Haile KoriT to Woyane, which have already been tested in 1998-2000 war of defense. You just have to look your nefTegna zemach's skulls to learn what it was.

Amnesiac uto, our enemies were the primary resources of arms, in our lands, before. Now they will be in Ethiopians' soil, if need comes.

The sanction without a single proof from the toothless UN Corporation is just symbolic and very much Woyane illadvised, hoping that it would be a psychological warfare against Eritreans, in a despearte attempt to put wedge in between, when EVERYTHING ELSE failed. It is dead on arrival!

Eritrea whom the US former Defense Minister had admitted to have learned about terrorism from Eritrean gov't cannot, should not, and would not be, not just a "terrorist" but even a terrorist supporter.

As far as "little pocket change shabia thievs may have hidden in the banks", don't worry. The pocket changes that they "Steal" won't make much difference. I'm glad you noticed that their changes were little. Yes, the main transaction of money goes into infrastructure improvements of: healthcare, ports upgrading, mininig improvements, modern farming immune to drought, schools, roads, and social administration improvements. We'r glad these leaders don't have Billions of dollars and Euros that would be stashed in Swiss, London, and Washington, unlike Korit leaders, from Haile to Mele. What else can a country who has been suffering from half a century of "sanctions" wish other than being on its own, in foreign involvement and corruption immunity?

Dedeb atela, the more the UN is becoming someones tool against poor nations, the mor poor nations will be determined to be on their own. Of course there will some who will not make it, one way or another.

Bozo, instead of hallucinating about Eritrea's "Terrorism", enjoy your American renewal of Woyane's prescription, for many years to come.

Happy new year with your another dose year of Woyane! Enjoy!

It is time to speak of peace for the Horn. We need participants in waging peace, the benefits and the economical powers that can be gained are immense. Why is it impossible to envision a peaceful Horn of Africa? What is gained from hatred and war? We can buy more books and afford education and food security instead of buying weapons to destroy lives. In war, there is no winner, all participants are losers. We need leaders and communities who will demand peace at any cost not the reverse.

Zx,

I have never seen a dedeb atela as no one else has but you. Since you know of it may be you were looking in the mirror. Chew on that biatch!

So, if you feel so almighty how come Bademe is still Ethiopian? Do you not have enough guns.. or is it courage you lack, you chicken shit runners from battle. We have proven to you by taking back all territories and tearing your little towns to pieces. Want more, just come cross our borders and we will kill you once and for all.

Mengistu Hailemariam, the great Ethiopian cleaning machine of shabia btchs like you, once said exactly what is happening these days. Well, fortunate for you, meles, the other half shabia saved your ass when Seye and his might army came and, yes.., bent you over. Hey, that was nothing new for prostitute shabias, you bend over for every little confrontetion.

But, the issue here is about how the world has agreed you all are terrorists. Eritrea=Shabia=Terrorist. I am sure that makes you feel proud and accepted by the likes of Bin-ladin. ZX, you aree one fkd up shabia who will always be afraid of the Ethiopian might. We have you running scared to the Sudan before and we will do it again.

Amiche....

Weapons from past...hahahhaha

I am sure the Germans have enough soviet, us and englands second world war airplanes...

Dont forget the Pasta left overs form colonial Italy too...u can use it as sling shot.

Tanks, artileries and other heavy air and land weapons from Mengistu have been collected by a single Ethiopian business man for the purpose of recycling the steel for construction...dude just got his loan approved from one of the banks in Addis...

Your daddy must envy this guy...so much for your collection of antiques.

The current Eritreas map will have more value to you in the future...as it is about to be annexed for good.
Good luck however in buying that map...as you cant even buy Eritreas map in Assmara...IT IS BANNED.

We have you running scared to the Sudan before and we will do it again. So, cut your bull about the 1998-2000. We fkd you up pretty bad and the whole world knows it, you know it... you nitwitt.

The sanctions are going to bite and you asswipes are coing to cry.

The referance to the little pocket change, was to state the fact that your mama arr-terra is so broke there may be some pocket change in the banks. Dream of building stuff do you? Well dream on, dreams do not cost a nakfa. I was talking of arr-terras money not Isayass and his thievs. One of the reason you faks are so poor is because Issu and his goons have it stashed up in Qatar or Oman or some other shitty Arab state where the West may not directly get to it.

Anchi mehaim, if you for a minute you think this sanction is not going to hurt, talk to me in a few months and if you still think this sanction is about Ethiopia and will hurt Ethiopia, i suggest you seek mentaql help because you are a looney and one dellusional mofo of a punk ass shabia.

Zx, kiss arr-terra goodbye... her goose is cooked.

sanction for what? Eritrea,who will put sanction against the govern.and people of Eritrea ? choose your answer A.-- U.S.A and U.K B.--Ethiopia and Somalia C.-Uganda and Sudan D.Djioubti and Eritrea. For what reason Eritea is put to sanction A- Supporting islamist insurgent in somalia B- supporting islamist insurgent of Eritrea C- Somali Ogaden liberation front in Ethiopia and oil in Ogaeden. D-coming against the interest of the supper powers E.not becoming a dog. The people of East african nations are in big time trouble,and non of their leaders are not seeing the long term trouble ahead of them,but history will tell them that they were wrong. They becoming the laughing grounds of the international forums and organizations.Even,some countries in Europe,Asia,and south america are surprized how African countries are venerable.Such eaxample,is the secenario that happen in the United Nation Office that Uganda-an East African Executing or sacrificing on behalf of another countries interest summiting a sanction on Eritrea without evaluating the conseqeunce oe the sanction. Plse think big,talk less for the wellbeing of our peoples future.
