Eritrea Tyrant At Loggerheads With Security Council Again

15 May 2009 (Eritrea Daily)-- Eritrea tyrant, Isias Afewarki, is constantly at loggerheads with the UN Security Council over almost every thing that does not go his way. Hitherto, the tyrant has been at loggerheads with the Security Council over Djibouti, Sudan, Somalia, Peace keeping mission, piracy, not to mention Ethiopia, just to mention a few! Reason: Afewarki couldn't get the UN Security Council to operate his tyrannical way!

This time around, Afewarki is at serious loggerheads with the Security Council over casus Somalia. In a press release issued yesterday, tyrant Afewarki charged the Security Council with exacerbating the political vaccuum “that has enveloped Somalia”, endorsing a government that doesn't represent even “neighborhoods in Mogadisho let alone entire Somali people” aggravating “piracy, lawlessness, and compounding “the suffering of the Somali people”.

In the press release, Afewarki went as far as lecturing the UN on its own Charter and international law. Afewarki labeled Security Council action as “a grave breach of the Charter of the United Nations and international law” and warned of “deleterious consequences”.

“The United Nations Security Council continues to doggedly condone ephemeral trends in Somalia as given and legitimate; and, to endorse illicit and externally imposed "transitional governments" that do not represent neighborhoods in Mogadiscio let alone the entire Somali people. The UN Security Council has further condoned acts of external invasion against Somalia. It is clear that these misguided positions contravene the independence, sovereignty as well as unity of Somalia and constitute a grave breach of the Charter of the United Nations and international law.

These illegal and unconstructive positions of the Security Council have exacerbated the political vacuum that has enveloped Somalia; aggravated piracy and lawlessness; and, compounded the suffering of the Somali people. These acts have further accentuated the prevalent instability in the Horn of Africa.

In the event, the Government of Eritrea urges the UN Security Council to take remedial action by taking stock of these violations and the deleterious consequences that they have entailed” said the press release.

This is not going to be the last time Afewarki finding himself at loggerheads with the UN. Expect more, because Afewarki is in denial about the maxim “doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is insanity”. Afewarki may get away with it, but the people and country of Eritrea are undeservedly paying for it dearly politically, diplomatically, socially and economically. How long, yet, Eritrea?

To the Security Council, be afraid, very afraid, because tyrant Afewarki is going to turn the Horn of Africa into some thing you will never be able to handle if you don't do it his way!
