The same old theory against Eritrea
Thursday 30 October 2008 01:00.

Once the United Nations Security Council sentenced Eritrea to vanish for
the benefit of USA's interest and the then close friend and ally Emperor
Haile Selassie's Ethiopia. To reverse the illegal sentence, that is
unification of Eritrea to Ethiopia coasted tens of thousands of innocent
Eritreans and ended with victory to the rule of law of an independent
Eritrea in 1991. The illegal unification of Eritrea to Ethiopia was
designed and went for implementation at Washington's state department
and sealed at UNSC's meeting that resembles with its totality to the
current theatrical drama by Djibouti's President against Eritrea.
The world body, instead of verifying the reality on ground was quick to
accuse and condemn Eritrea's self defense. Eritrea vowed to solve the
unwanted provocation by Djibouti in a manner that does not embarrass the
President of Djibouti and his immature action.
Last week's drama with in the same UN building, the US Assistant
Secretary of State for African Affairs has played crucial roll behind
the seen. Unwarranted accusation by the sisterly nation Djibouti against
Eritrea has been voiced. The accusation rather surmounts itself for lack
of proof and reality on the ground.
President Gelleh of Djibouti's accusation to Eritrea's occupation of his
countries sovereign land verifies nothing but the bribe paid by
Ethiopian minority regime to his Excellency, and orchestrated
cooperation to satisfy Ms. Fraser of US State Department who has been
challenged with failure over failure in the whole continent. Mr.
Gelleh's accusation surpassed the minority regime in Ethiopia's
expectation, when he played the same roll that Ethiopia used to
manipulate sympathy.
The same old theory, the Security Council members failed to try to
figure out the main reason behind all these fabricated lies, and carry
its legal responsibility. The wording and accusations does not reconcile
with the responsibility they UNSC is vested upon.
It was hoped that the same body has learned from its past history in
regard to Eritrea as a people who gave their precious lives to reverse
the howler and as a free nation and people who are willing to give all
what they possess to uphold their freedom. Yet the Security Council
seems to have short lived memory and is trying to threat the same people
with punishment unless it is bowed to the illegal and corrupted
accusation.
The people of Eritrea in defiance of all negative campaigns and threats
struggled to achieve its independence with its totality through
self-reliance and mutual respect to its neighbors. Exchanging the hand
that extended to mutually benefit the peoples of the region into
personal and individual benefits of leaders as such Mr. Gelleh and his
Ethiopian counter part in corruption, sooner or later will be ditched
out by the same people who are using them. The hegemony and
irresponsible act by US State Department against the peace loving people
of Eritrea and overall the whole region in the Horn of Africa is
rejected.
