Eritrea Tyrant hits National Soccer Team with Betrayal Of Nation

Speaking through his right-hand man and information surrogate, Ali Abdu, Eritrea tyrant Isias Afewarki yesterday hit the Eritrea National Football team that refused to return home with betrayal of the people and country of Eritrea and the flag they represent and held them responsible for their action. Abdu made those remarks with BBC's Focus on Africa program in a first reaction to the matter. Initially, Eritrea tyrant had negated the news of the missing national team!

“They have decided to go illegally and to betray the people, the country and the flag they represent. They are primarily responsible for that” Abdu told Hassan Arruni of the BBC.

The Eritrean team: only the coach and an official flew back from Kenya!

When asked what the players should expect if they changed their mind and returned home, Ali said “we know only one welcome: Good welcome home”! Now how do you accord people you hit with betrayal of the nation and hold them responsible for their action “a good welcome home”?! For more of BBC' interview with Abdu and CECAFA rep. listen here
