Mr. Chairman,
Distinguished Delegates,
The main reasons for imposing unjust sanctions against Eritrea were its
alleged “support to al-Shabaab in Somalia” and “the border dispute between
Eritrea and Djibouti” in the context of their implication to regional and
international peace and security. Nothing less, nothing more!
These issues have long been proven as untenable and non-existent. The SEMG,
both in its previous report as well as in the current one, has concluded,
clearly and unequivocally, that it “did not find any evidence of Eritrea’s
support to al-Shabaab” in Somalia.
*Eritrea-Djibouti** border dispute*
The Djibouti Eritrea issue does not constitute a threat to regional and
international peace and security; both in terms of the magnitude of the
problem and also because the UN Security Council has endorsed the ongoing
mediation process by the Emir of Qatar. The Qatari mediation process was
agreed and signed by the Presidents of Eritrea and Djibouti. Eritrea is
engaged in good faith, and remains fully committed to, the Qatari mediation
process. It must be underlined that more than 200 Qatari troops are
deployed at the Eritrea Djibouti common border.
In view of the fact that the two reasons for the imposition of sanctions
against Eritrea have no validity whatsoever, the continuation of the
sanctions is unjustifiable and unwarranted. Eritrea appeals to the members
of the UN Security Council to immediately and unconditionally lift the
unjust sanctionsand terminate the mandate of the SEMG in relation to
Eritrea.
