Eritrea has no hidden agenda in Sudan. It wants no port, no gold mine, no military base. It wants only what it has always wanted: A stable, sovereign neighborhood where African problems are solved by African wisdom.

@AmbStesfamariam is a badass! Her remarks about the (un)special unverified claims reporter end of tenure. While he was hysterical she calmly asked what is the basis of the mandate when there are all these UN agencies to report on conditions in Eritrea?
@AbrarSuleiman I like Abrar, but not mentioning Alexander as an Eritrean is so disappointing and disrespectful. As smart as he is he did this intentionally. So sad.
Good news… The Trump administration is considering lifting U.S. sanctions on Eritrea as part of efforts to reset diplomatic relations!
It is worth recalling what Hillary Clinton once said about Eritrea, according to U.S. diplomatic cables published by WikiLeaks: Eritrea is a bad example of good governance.!
What she meant reflects a broader Western concern about Eritrea’s model of self-reliance, especially after it rejected foreign aid and NGOs such as USAID in the mid-2000s. It was seen as a bad example for Africa, as other countries might follow the same path and move away from dependence on external assistance.
With the current administration shifting its approach to humanitarian aid in Africa and closing down USAID, it seems the time has come to reconsider and lift these sanctions.
