Asmara
The Eritrean president, Isayas Afewerki, has said the current economic, political and security crises being witnessed in the world are the consequences of the "vulgar adventurism" of the US Administration.
Presenting a report to a cabinet meeting in the capital, Asmara, on 28 August, President Isayas said the complicated issues and developments in the region were also part of the global political and security situations.
The president reiterated that the "genocide" being carried out in Somalia by the US Administration and its "servants" was "the biggest crime of the 21st century", and said even worse was the act of stifling to deny the situation the attention of the world.
President Isayas said Ethiopia's invasion of Somalia had exacerbated the situation of the already troubled Horn of Africa region. Compounded by "the worsening internal political crisis" in Ethiopia as well as Sudan's problems which were being complicated by "subversive" external interference were leading the Horn of Africa to "unimaginably dangerous" situation.
Stating that various attempts were made to undermine the peace and tranquility in Eritrea, the president said the "conspiracy" to carryout a subversion (presumably against Eritrea) by placing Djibouti in the forefront in the last few months could not work because the Eritrean government and the peoples of Eritrea and Djibouti handled the issue with patience.
Regarding the regional body, IGAD (Inter-Governmental Authority on Development), President Isayas said the organization had not been efficient since it had fallen victim to external interference, and needed reorganization.

Whata fake story is this?Do you know a bout Issayas what he is doing in Eritrea until now
what..what?? 'Genocide' .
What do you call when thousands of innocent somalis are killed and maimed by the Ethiopian invaders with impunity? Are you rejoicing the death of Somali women and children and the displacement of countless civilians without food , medical care and shelter? isn't that enough for you to understand the true meaning of Genocide or do you blindly want to justify the massacre of Mogadisho residents by the mindless thugs who illegally occupy Somalia?
As long as Somalis, Djiboutians, Tutsis, Eritreans, Himas, Masais, Ethiopians and kanemis/fulanis don't realize that they are cushitic people, ancient people of dignity who knew God and righteousness before chritianity and islam, and instead struggle to be recognized as second class arab moslems or chritians, they will be subjected to genocide. People cannot deny who they are and survive. Afew imperialists know it
It sure is much worse than the Darfur issue which the US Adminstration was quick to condemn it as "Genocide".
Hi, It is simply astounding that, every godamn african dictator wants to blame the U.S.A, that is probably due to the rebuff the prickly president (issayas)has been getting, if we are to talk of GENOCIDE then the resposible leaders (Issaya&MELLES)SHOULD BE HELD RESPOSIBLE FOR THE LIFES OF 100,000 INNOCENT CITZENS.

While most children here in the U.S. are starting another school year, thousands of children languish in refugee camps. In all too many cases there will be no school for them to attend.

Our team documented the experience of people in the Shimelba refugee camp in Ethiopia. Out of the 14,000 refugees living there sadly 70% are children.

The daily killings in Somalia which President Afewerki refers to as genocide is being masterminded by the US but the ICC will always look the other way. Also President Afewerki refered to subversive external influence in the Sudan which everybody following the situation knows that the subversion n udan is the handiwork of the US. However, the ICC ironically decided to accuse the resident of Sudan to show the world is overtly, an AGENT OF THE US.
