Eritrea halts operations of US aid group

ASMARA, Aug 26 (AFP) - Eritrea has ordered an American aid group operating in the country to halt its activites saying it was "uncomfortable" with the group's continued presence.

Scott DeLisi, the US ambassador to the Horn of African nation said late Thursday that Asmara had called on the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to wind up its operations.

"The government has told us that it is uncomfortable with the operations of USAID," said DeLisi who did not divulge more details.

"We will be here as long as the government of Eritrea wants us to be here. We will respect the government's choices," he added.

Government officials, however, declined to comment on the move that comes amid wrangles between Asmara and other international aid agencies over tax requirement on incoming food aid.

On Wednesay, UN special envoy for the humanitarian crisis in the Horn of Africa said he was seeking the release of nearly 90 vehicles impounded by Eritrea in recent months.

USAID will join four other non-governmental organisations (NGO) that have halted operations in Eritrea in the last three years.

In 2002, Asmara expelled three NGO's involved in demining operations, while in March this year, Grassroots International, another American aid group, stopped funding operations in Eritrea, blaming the government for political oppression and a poor human rights record.

But Asmara has also slammed Washington for failiang to put pressure on Ethiopia to accept a legally binding border ruling signed in 2000 that it has continued to reject.

Gebreselassie

what is your issue here????? why do you want to discuss about Eritrea here?

Re: Eritrea halts operations of US aid group

Gebrelikiskis,

Finally the true picture of the Eritrian dream has come face to face with reality. Where are your Italian and Arab masters who promised you the world after indepenence. All those young lives wasted, for some silly stuped men.

Does this mean you might endup migrating to Rome. Where would your master be migrating.

For all those years you have made us feel bad and dirty, and how pure and clean you were b/s you have been slaved by the Italian. The most amazing thing is how even the italians had enough of you and they are putting ET and eritrians under one banner.

You guys are suffering from identity crisis.

Go and get help.

Gebre said nothing except telling published stroy. Why all these evil words for him. Remember, Eritreans are not bad people. One bad thing about them is they insult us as lazy and backward in mentality.

ANY WHO IS WORKING HARD TO TURN THE CLOCK AGAINST THE ETHIOPIAN PEOPLE.

Re: Eritrea halts operations of US aid group

Abebe,

We know Gebrelikisis is talking about Eritrea, but why talk about Eritrea when we have crisis in our country. I will tell you why, he wants to divert our attention from his nasty activities in Ethiopia.

Is your master going to do the same in Ethiopia since charity organisations have raised their concerns over Human Right issues in Ethiopia.

Mina!

Re-read the message and try to understand first before you judge wrongly. When I said all enemies of Ethiopian will bow to peace, I don't mean to divert your attention. Wether you like it or not this will happen in near future. Don't be moron!
