Eritrea Tyrant Bemoans Break With IGAD!

What does it take for Eritrea tyrant Isias Afewarki to regret whatever he does? Answer: Pressure, pressure, and more pressure like the UN Sanctions against him!

It is this that compelled the tyrant to publicly bemoan his action to break with the Horn of Africa regional Organization (IGAD), which organization is currently calling for additional sanctions against him.

In a VOA radio interview[Tigrigna program] aired yesterday, Eritrea tyrant Isias [as usual speaking via Mr. Yemane Gebreab, the man the tyrant has touted to take the heat for his diplomatic, political, and other detrimental blunders] bemoaned his action to suspend membership in IGAD for this gave his archenemy Ethiopia unfettered opportunity to beat on him at will! In that, the tyrant, unequivocally, granted being outsmarted and outmaneuvered by Woyane [Ethipia's ruling party] diplomatically, politically, or otherwise in matters UN Sanctions against him (and I would add even in the matter of the border issue). Coming from a tyrant that claims to be always right, this is quite a revelation!

Not only that, the tyrant is now kissing up to the president of Uganda too! Mr. Gebreab revealed that he and the tyrant's foreign surrogate delivered a letter from the tyrant to president Yaweri Musevni of Uganda prior to coming to New York for the meeting with members of UNSC and that their take is every thing is going to be alright again between the tyrant and Museveni just like that!

Mr. Gebreab also revealed that “We and Ethiopians are brethren not mere neighbors”!

As far as IGAD's call for additional Sanctions against the tyrant is concerned, Mr. Yemane submitted that the Sudan had nixed the call! Oh really! Now, where is the EVIDENCE, even a shred of EVIDENCE? What prevents Sudan from expressing that publicly or behind closed doors like at the meeting with members of UNSC? Nothing!

Further, Mr. Gebreab kind of gloated over and stressed Sudan's not presence at the meet with members of the UNSC. This is a shame and a pity not some thing to stress! Tyrant isias should bemoan that too because Sudan is only country that for one would have attested to the tyrant's endeavors for "peace" in the Sudan and for the other, this would have been the best opportunity for Sudan to tell the assembled that it did not endorse IGAD's call for additional sanctions? Why didn't the tyrant call for the inclusion of Sudan in the meeting? He had good reasons for that: Witness to truth and solild testimony to the tyrant's claim of being man of "peace and stability" in the Horn of Africa!
