    The regime in Ethiopia is in power only for its own (the Tigrai region) and for the US interest. Zenawi jailed opposition leaders, silenced journalists and killed 193 people on the streets of Addis Ababa, invaded and committing war crimes in Somalia and genocide in Ogaden. Now it has refused to accept the UN boundary commission ruling and occupied sovereign Eritrean territories and is preparing for another war. But please don???t blame only the American absurd foreign policy who is behind all this. We all know US government and its amateur state department employees handling African affairs are responsible for all this .However, how about the UK???s double standard policy of continuously bashing Mugabe for human rights violation and ignoring the plight and atrocities in the Horn committed by Meles and co? Mugabe (never killed anyone) is an angel in contrast with the real devil in the horn.

    Jason,

    This is the second time you have written negativley knowng that the people who support you and support the Addis Regime must be satisfied. Believe me Eritreans by thousand in every corner of the world along with the large majority in Eritrea stand by their President/Government. I can send you plenty of proof. On the other hand the dying regime in Addis does not have the support of the large (I mean Huge numbers) majority in Ethiopia and will soon realize that it is not in their best interest to meddle in Eritrean affairs.
    Jason please stop this madness and tell the story the proper way. By the way Mr. Afwerki who is a person of integrity recently had more that 10 diplomats confirmed to Eritrea and continues to expand the diplomacy of good governance to many other nations. May be the US should consider and build stronger ties with Eritrea, because Eritrea is a nation that will change the entire horn of Africa.

    Jason, I bet morons like you pass as Journalists. Stop telling fables. Instead tell it how it is.
    How is it when african leaders stand for their countries interests, they are called dictators, but when bush set the whole world on fire, he is just bush. We keep harking to Africans about democracy and rule of law. In Eritrea's case what do you want them to do, bend down and take it because bush said so ?
