Your Excellencies,
I am writing to express my profound concern about the looming danger posed by the current stance of the Government of the state of Eritrea to international peace and security in the Horn of Africa, a situation that the people of the region can ill-afford. I am also writing to reiterate the position of the Government of the National Regional State of Tigray with respect to steps that are critical to the resolution of the crisis in Ethiopia.
In 2009, the United Nations Security Council had imposed sanctions on Eritrea for its role in destabilizing its neighbors. You are also no doubt aware that those sanctions were removed in 2018 following the so-called peace agreement between Ethiopia and Eritrea. The decision to lift the sanctions was made with the sincere hope of incentivizing Eritrea to cease acting as a rouge state; begin playing a constructive role in ensuring regional peace and stability; and undertake domestic reforms, including by adopting a constitution, setting up a representative government, in which various political parties would be represented releasing political prisoners ending indefinite military service, and introducing freedom of the press and freedom of worship. Sadly, all of these hopes have been dashed.
In conclusion, let me reiterate our commitment to the resolution of the crisis engulfing Ethiopia through good faith and negotiation. I once more call on Your Excellencies, representing the leaders of Africa, to expedite the process towards achieving that goal, which we all share.
TPLF does not or never understands how the world. TPL Fi still living in in win win? Those who never are destined to repeat their mistakes. AU is now under Saudi and UAE and USA. There is nothing they can do.
