Eritrea : Obama's War Against Eritrea

[bingiedred]

That being said Eritreans, like Ethiopians and Somali's aren't our friends anyway so who cares if they get exploited.

Wow, with a name like "the-God" you make a statement like that? Your name should be changed to the antithesis of God. I know, because "God" is all about exploitation. smh

Eritrea is not new to some of us here at Destee.com, and this back-drop may be helpful to some that care to review the discussion; those then, may come to better understand the claims against Eritrea:

Also istlota, when calling the President a liar, you ought to be able to disprove his charge of human-trafficking with source information rather than rhetoric. Do you have any proof which contradicts the President's speech?

Just listen to his inspiring call to arms, justifying yet another of his Just Wars against yet another poor brown or black nation.

He's not more "dangerous then Bush" because he doesn't even come up with foreign policy. Bush didn't either, it's a system and the president is just the figurehead.

What god sanctions the exploitation of the innocent?

Obama, because he is such a persuasive liar, is more dangerous than even Boy Bush.

At least with Bush, liberals could see thru his BS. But, Obama, although being just as much a war monger as Boy Bush, is able to pee on liberals' heads and convince them it is rain. Just listen to his inspiring call to arms, justifying yet another of his Just Wars against yet another poor brown or black nation.

What Obama said:


What Obama is really up to:

I have been very critical of Obama's foreign policy in regards to Africa, so what I have to say us not in his defense.

Obama's foreign policy in regards to Eritrea, Somalia and Sudan is a continuation of Bush era politics and goes back further to the Carter administration, if not earlier.

The US funneled arms to EPLF when the Derge came into power in Ethiopia. After the fall of Mengistu's government support went to Ethiopia and the US has been playing Eritrea, Ethiopia, Sudan against each other since the fall of Siad Barre in Somalia. Enter the socalled peace keeping missions.

Obama was supported by many in the Eritrean community but fell into disfavor due to his support of Meles in Ethiopia who died a few months ago. He is being pressured by Eritrean opposition groups in the US who allege slave trading conducted by the Eritrean government,

My problem here is that the US has ignored evidence of slavery in Ethiopia dating to the Selassie regime, and under Mubarak in Egypt and several US backed regimes in Sudan, this slavery has flourished and the Sinai has been used as base of operation under US and NATO cover.

Obama is just the latest POTUS to turn a blind eye to this point of contention while expanding the conflict under pretext of warding off the al queda factions which do have some base in Eritrea.

Here is the dilemma for those of us not only living in the western countries but our African sisters and brothers.

We can rant and protest against Obama and Africom interventionism and expansion, but on the other hand, are the Islamist groups the lesser or greater of the two evils?..and this does not even take into account the opportunist third element, Israel, or the fourth element, China.
