Inner City Press exclusively has learned on Friday that an amateurish post-publication is taking place on the forthcoming report on Eritrea. The report already has a number (S/2012/412) and has been on the UN's ODS Official Document Service.
But unlike the Western Sahara watering down, in this case it's a matter of watering UP — Ethiopia and others are said to want the report to be more damning of Asmara. And so it goes at the UN.

This is good for Eritrea, it makes the country solid like a marble rock, it also gives it the chance to unify the people and fight back.
Die US Politik in Afrika hat geseigt das die USA nicht fähig sind sozial zu denken und auch zu handeln von wegen Entwicklungshilfe.
den die US Regierung zieht nur eigene Interesse vor und somit kann so ein Regierung nicht die demokratische Richtlinien vertreten.
Was also verfolgen die USA wenn nicht Demokrati Diktatur?
Auf jedenfall darf die Weltgemeinschaft nicht Tatenlos zu schauen wie die USA die Welt ins Unheil ziehen.
Denn jeder weis das die USA Kriegs freudig sind und das Sie nicht viel übrig haben für Gerechtigkeit.

Why eri tv transmit in their program regarding 20 sene only the martyrs of tegadelti what about the martyrs of warsay. we heard for 21 years about 6th werar. I know iam not saying forget tegadelti but they need to give credit for warsay what we did to stop and protect eritrea from weyane invasion.
Hallo alle eritreschen martyris sind damit gemeint ,das hat nicht mit warsay oder tegadelti zu tun
versuch diese negative Gedanken von dein Kopf zu reinigen.
Diese Ratschlag ist gut gemeint.
Die Geschichte zeigt 1961- jetzt und nicht bis 1991!!
