We Denounce the Unjust Sanctions Against Eritrea
We Say No to Unjust Sanctions Based on Lies
We Call for an Immediate Lifting of Unjust Sanctions
We Still Call for Constructive Engagement
When he ran for office, President Obama campaigned for engagement, reconciliation and partnership with the rest of the world. Today, he says his foreign policy goals are guided by those same principles. So, why is his administration, led by his UN team, orchestrated a sanctions measure against Eritrea on charges repeatedly proven to be groundless? Why are they so intent on scapegoating this young nation for the disasters they have caused in Somalia? Is this really about Somalia? Is this another broken promise?
