Portraying Unrealistic Image through Exaggerated Expectations Is Not The
Eritrean Government's Political Culture: President Isaias
Shabait
Asmara, 21 October 2009- In an interview he conducted with Reuters News
Agency here today, President Isaias Afwerki underscored that it is not in
the Eritrean government's political culture to portray unrealistic image
through exaggerated expectations. "Hence, we don't want to give invented
promises regarding gold and other mining ventures," he elaborated.
In the interview focusing on diverse domestic, regional and international
issues, the President pointed out that had the endowment of abundant natural
resources and the income derived thereof been the crucial factor, the world
would not have witnessed the prevailing dire poverty in the resource-rich
African countries. He further stressed that the decisive factor is the
effective and efficient utilization of available resources........
