Eritreans in Norway demonstrated against NRK (Norwegian Television Broadcast)
On 15 June 2011, Eritreans residing in Norway came in front of NRK (Norwegian Television broadcast) office and showed their dismay of the partial news and information the television service is providing to its listeners about Eritrea.
It is due long time since this broadcast stands in emanating negative pictures and texts about Eritrea. For example, last year in April 2010, Eritreans residing in Norway demonstrated against UNSC (1907) 2009 in front of the Norwegian parliament and USA embassy in Norway. That phenomenal and historic rally didn’t have attention from NRK. In contrary not more than 50 the so called opposition got wide coverage. What does this show? Here we do not blame for giving chance to others. The question is why partial coverage of news?
Another example is; NRK used to write or broadcast about famine and hunger in Horn of Africa by mentioning Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya and Djibouti explicitly. In fact NRK gives the worst picture to Eritrea. This time when the world food organization mentions explicitly Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya and Djibouti excluding Eritrea from this danger of famine and hunger NRK finds embarrassing to mention Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya and Djibouti only without Eritrea explicitly and came with a cheap tactic by saying famine and hunger in horn of Africa.
Eritreans ask why NRK repeats the mistake done by Norway against Eritrea in the 1950s.
That is why Eritreans in Norway said enough is enough. Stop blackmailing and defaming Eritrea.
The video linked here shows the demonstration.
