Eritrea:
Entire National Football Team Defects-Audio Report

Eritrea Daily
Eritrean
National Footbal Team gone missing in Kenya
The entire
national Football (Soccer) Team of Eritrea has defected in Kenya. The
news which was first broken by an exiled Eritrean opposition website
has now been incontrovertibly confirmed by BBC's Focus on Africa
program today. Quoting reliable sources, the UK-based website,
www.assenna.com, yesterday
reported that the entire football team except for the coach and the
accompanying colonel failed to return home following a regional
tournament in Nairobi, Kenya.
As
usual, the first reaction of Eritrea tyrant's propaganda machinery is
denial even in the face of concrete and tangible evidence of the
truth of the matter: entire team was a no show in Asmara! The general
secretary of the Council of East and Central Africa Football
Associations (CECAFA) Nicholas Musonye told Hassan Aruni of Focus on
Africa that the plane landed in Asmara without the players and that
the boss of Eritrean Football federation, Mr. Tesfay has confirmed
the players went missing.
