[Global Commentary: Eritrea]

The minority regime in Ethiopia, and its apologists in the media, is burning the midnight oil, attempting to disseminate the false and “cooked in Ethiopia” allegations contained in the Somalia Eritrea Monitoring Group’s Report (SEMG).

The UN hired the SEMG to investigate and produce a Report based on “its own independent findings” with its primary mandate being, to find out if Eritrea was in compliance with Security Council Resolution 1907 or not. The SEMG’s Report was based on self serving “intelligence” provided by the minority regime in Ethiopia, a party to the conflict in Somalia, and the one who bears primary responsibility for the carnage and chaos that defines Somalia today.

This latest attempt by the regime and its handlers to force the Un Security Council to take additional punitive actions against the State of Eritrea and its people only re-enforces what was known all along, that the sanctions against Eritrea were not an “African Initiative”, but rather a US-Ethiopia Initiative with Susan E. Rice and Meles Zenawi in the drivers seat.

The 417-page report lacked impartiality, was incoherent and had an illogical flow. The SEMG chose to go on a wild and vicious witch hunt, in search of “evidence” to fit its pre-made conclusions about Eritrea, its leadership and people. Its informants, the minority regime in Ethiopia and its cadres, are persons who are themselves involved in the criminal milieu that defines Somalia today, and can hardly be considered to be credible sources and yet, the SEMG relied almost entirely on the Ethiopian regime to build its case against Eritrea.

The SEMG did not question statements by Ethiopia and its cadres and failed to independently check the veracity of the information gathered.
