Eritrea tyrant turns to Russia to restore normal relation with Ethiopia!
18 February 2014
Moscow, Russia-- Only a week after denying and dismissing any attempts to normalize Eritrea/Ethiopia relationships, Eritrea tyrant Isias Afareki now turned to Russia to help the tyrant restore normal relations with Ethiopia! To that end the tyrant dispatched his Foreign Affairs Agent, aka Foreign Minister, to Moscow on Sunday to make the case for him. Russian foreign Minister S. Lavrov did not disappoint: In a speech he delivered at the opening of a joint press conference with the tyrant's foreign agent yesterday, Lavrov stated the two "Discussed the relations between Ethiopia and Eritrea, would like to promote the normalization of these relations".
The rest of the tyrant's baggage, like signing of mutual economic and other development agreements are but the tyrant's routine diplomatic wrapper of the tyrant's underlying and main mission: Eritrea tyrant's attempt to normalize relations with Ethiopia and a way out of the crippling UN Sanctions. Same thing with talks about Africa's regional and continental issues where the tyrant has been rendered absolutely irrelevant regionally and continentally, including international affairs!

Except for one question, the entire press conference was all about Syria.
