Hello All,
 
On September 25, 2012 President Obama made the following speech at the Clinton Global initiative Annual meeting.
 
I recently renewed sanctions on some of the worst abusers, including North Korea and Eritrea. We’re partnering with groups that help women and children escape from the grip of their abusers. We’re helping other countries step up their own efforts. And we’re seeing results. More nations have passed and more are enforcing modern anti-trafficking laws.
 
A year later, on October 3, 2013 a boat carrying mostly Eritreans capsized on the cost of Lampedusa, Italy and claimed almost one hundred young Eritrean lives.
 
Six days later, on October 9, 2003 a press release by the Eritrean government stated the following:
 
The prime responsibility for the gross loss of human life, as verified by concrete evidences, squarely rests on the US Administration that assigns agents of international and regional bodies, in addition to deploying various officials and spy agencies of different governments.
 
Ok, fast-forward. if I am reading it correctly, Obama is saying that he renewed a sanction against Eritrea because he felt Eritrea is the worst human rights abuser, and that he is partnering with groups that smuggle and kidnap women and children from Eritrea. He also admitted that he is helping countries like Ethiopia and Djibouti to set up their own efforts. So now he is seeing results in Lampedusa, Malta and Sinai. Isn't this what he is saying? Can some law-man build a case (based on verified concrete evidences) against Obama since he appears to clearly admit that he is squarely responsible for all the deaths of our young brothers and sisters?
 
Haile A.
