Selam Dehaiers,
In case you haven't seen or read this timely article by Sam B., I would like to re-post it as a reference to my comment here. In my comment I would like to highlight the three important factors that Susan Rice has employed in the past and most likely will apply now. These are the Timing; the Means and Ways; and finally, the Methods that this self-appointed egomaniac of the World Body was able to enforce the first unjust UN sanction on Eritrean on December 23, 2009, just two days before Christmas. Ok, so let's talk firs about the Timing of the 2009 unjust sanction. The Timing of December 23 was meticulously crafted by Susan Rice in order to successfully enforce the sanction because many council members were either bogged down with some end-of-year tasks or some holiday-related schedules. Thus the focus on the proposed sanction would be very minimal. Second, the Ways and Means that the final sanction resolution papers were delivered to the SC members was in a haphazard manner and purposely delayed to reach at their desk until the last minute so many members had no time or chance to review and take a closer look at the resolution. Finally, the Method, which was very effective. The Method is essentially a THREAT. It is simply a threat of some bogus dire consequences if a country refuses to vote for a US-sponsored UNSC vote. This US tactic was revealed exclusively in a book called "The Economic Hit man" and it is always used by the US as threat to "cutting of foreign of military Aid" or a threat to "review business partnership" or other methods if the countries refuse to vote. As you recall China, perhaps abstained due to US's threat to its financial or business relationship or some other BS, and Libya, the only country to oppose the unjust sanction, was perhaps put on the US Evil radar.
So recalling the three factors mentioned, it would be naive not to think that the egomaniac Susan Rice, who thinks Africa should be governed by her doctrine, would not try to pull another fast one on us. Look at the timing. With holiday season approaching fast, the woyane is trying hard to lure the news media to expound on his evil agenda and the US is also able to lure yet another neighboring country, Kenya, to act like a mad dog in order to satisfy her Method. But this time, on the principle of "if you fool me once it is my fault but if you fool me twice it is your fault," the Eritrean government is now demanding to be heard by the Security Council members about the unfair treatment that Eritrea has been subjected to by the false accusations. But as it has been reported the veto-wielding US is now trying to block PIA hearing. As Sam B. explained in his article below, Eritrean is not just simply asking for a favor to be heard, it is DEMANDING to be heard because the UN Charter explicitly states so, "Any Member of the United Nations which is not a member of the Security Council or any state which is not a Member of the United Nations, if it is a party to a dispute under consideration by the Security Council, shall be invited to participate, without vote, in the discussion relating to the dispute. The Security Council shall lay down such conditions as it deems just for the participation of a state which is not a Member of the United Nations." [Emphasis mine]
So if the UN's own charter explicitly states that Eritrea should be invited, why is Susan Rice opposing PIA's invitation vehemently? As Sam B. was able to expose the UN's corrupt nature, it is clear that the so-called World body instead of upholding its own charter to serve justice to each member state has now reduced to America's pet shop. So now one can clearly understand why the egomaniac Susan Susan Rice, who is now working like a possessed demon to deny Eritrea an income from its own mining soil and also from its own people's voluntary-remittance and other contributions. This is not about some kind of financial assistance or some sort of a handout from Western countries that she is trying to sanction. It is our Nature-given products that she it trying to stop from being invested. If we don't stop her here, I bet you my last Nakfa that she will be going after our Micro Dams and drip-irrigations since she is now upset that we didn't make the list of draught-stricken countries in East Africa.
I am confident that this time the egomaniac Susan Rice will not succeed to cast her evil agenda or to stop PIA from being heard at the UNSC, even though when asked by Matthew Russell Lee of InnercityPress.com, she arrogantly responded, "We had the foreign ministers come in July. That was sufficient drama for my taste. I think if one comes, they'll call come. I'm not sure what we'll hear that's much different. I think any time you bring together leaders at that level with the degree of tension that exists between them. It's not going to promote improved relations or greater peace and stability. [Emphasis mine]. It is "Sufficient drama" that this egomaniac evil thinks when she is thinking about starving Eritrean children by cutting off their last means of being fed. It is "Sufficient Drama" when she recruited Kenya in the same footing of Woyane to act like Wedi Mekelle? Which one is sufficient drama? If anything else, we are the ones that that should feel sufficient dram for our test with this entire childish egotistical endless act.
On the other hand, I am very glad the steps that our Government is taking by reaching out to Uganda last month and by trying to tame the new Mad Dog in town to take a deep breath, is good step in the right direction. The Eritrean Ambassador has given good interviews and the visit by our Foreign Ministry is also a good gesture towards a good neighborly understanding. Finally, I am also glad that the GoE is trying to exercise its right as a UN member to DEMAND to be heard at Security Council meeting about these ridiculous and evil accusations against it.
A good fight will always produce a good result so let's keep on fighting for Justice and Fairness!

Eritrea: PIA Demand To Be Heard Reveals Corruption of UNSC and UN Charter
by Sam B.
November 6, 2011
With every passing day it is becoming more apparent that the United Nations and more exactly the United Nations Security Council has been reduced to an American foreign policy apparatuses or is usurped “by the American authorities”. At most inopportune times the founding Charter, The Charter of The United Nations, is deliberately ignored and relegated to an ineffectual instrument as opposed to being the sacrosanct document that laid down the rules for international cooperation, international law and engagement. Such derogation of the UN Charter has been long in coming as some insights gleaned from the former UN Secretary General, Boutrous Boutros-Ghali, attest. According to a March 2004 statement to the French newspaper Liberation, the former UN Secretary General Boutrous Boutros-Ghali states “that a major problem at the UN was that the Department of Peacekeeping Operations was very infiltrated by the American authorities”. Boutros-Ghali further elaborated:
“The US authorities have taken control of the UN system through financial administration and the appointment of officers and staff who are paid directly by the United States. The UN doesn’t have the means to appoint senior officers and specialist staff. When these people are selected and paid by a foreign government, they are obviously more loyal to that government than to the UN. As a result, reports presented to the Secretary General and to the Security Council are purged and modified.” (Boutrous Boutros-Ghali)Boutros Boutros-Ghali opinion quoted above is inline with many well-respected social and political commentators. Mr. Ghali has also stated “the United Nations is just an instrument at the service of American policy.” (Boutros Boutros Ghali, 2003). That the UN is basically “a reliable instrument of U.S. foreign policy” (N. Chomsky) is a commonly held view now. So the reply by Martin Nesirky, Spokesperson for UN Secretary-General Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, comes as no shock when Matthew Russell Lee of Inner City Press asked what Ban ki-moon’s thoughts are “as the UN system’s top official, that a head of state, when he or she asks to address an organ like the Security Council, should be allowed to: if talking is better that not talking.” Ban’s spokesman Nesirky reply was, “It’s for the Security Council to decide.” It is shameful for a spokes person of the UNSG or anybody of the UN to relegate such rights, as enshrined on The Charter of The United Nations, to a decision of a politically charged Security Council. He ought to have stated what the UN Charters requires and stood by it. It is for a reason the UN Charter under Chapter V, titled “the Security Council”, explicitly states in Article 31:
“Any Member of the United Nations which is not a member of the Security Council may participate, without vote, in the discussion of any question brought before the Security Council whenever the latter considers that the interests of that Member are specially affected.”Article 32 adds:
“Any Member of the United Nations which is not a member of the Security Council or any state which is not a Member of the United Nations, if it is a party to a dispute under consideration by the Security Council, shall be invited to participate, without vote, in the discussion relating to the dispute. The Security Council shall lay down such conditions as it deems just for the participation of a state which is not a Member of the United Nations.”Let alone Eritrea asking to address the Security Council, in accordance with the procedures laid down by the Charter, Eritrea should have been “invited to participate,” by the Security Council “in the discussion relating to the dispute” or “in the discussion of any question brought before the Security Council whenever the latter considers that the interests of that Member are specially affected.” That Eritrea’s interest are “specially affected” is a forgone conclusion, and that ONLY Eritrea’s interest are “specially affected” by the discussions and actions of the resolution considered is also in little doubt. In short the dispute of whether the President of Eritrea addressing the Security Council is a reflection of both the dysfunction at the UN and the complete contempt for the Charter that exists. Neither Ban Ki-moon, his spokes person, Susan Rice and her government ought to have the right or privilege to trample upon The Charter of The United Nations. Nobody is conferring on the President of Eritrea the right to address the Security Council, the Charter does. America’s opposition via Susan Rice for the President of Eritrea to address the Security Council only yet again reveals their complete disregard of the rules of law and engagement that they so profusely declare to support .
