Eritrea tyrant Isias Afewarki tells nation to sacrifice breakfast in order to save foreign currency to finance road construction!

Afewarki's revelation of his new prescription for the entire nation to skip yet another meal to remedy yet another shortage was exposed during an interview last week with the Financial Times posted to the web yesterday.

Responding to the nations shortage in Foreign Currency, Afewarki proclaimed: “The whole population will have to sacrifice breakfast..use that saving for putting in place a road any where..”. To that, the reporter exclaimed: So, “Breakfast for a road?” Afewarki then granted this fitting designation gladly and without any hesitation! Listen here

The interview covered, among other things, issues about Somalia, Democracy, Military service, and looming UN sanction. On democracy, Afewarki is still in denial, on Somalia, Afewarki treats it as his private property, and on looming UN sanction, he doesn't want to talk about! On military national service, Afewarki delivered an agitated response “..in national service you are obliged to service without pay. This is a duty imposed upon every citizen in spite of your liking or not liking..” So responded Afewarki angrily on national service! Listen to this exchange here
