A Week in the Horn of Africa (10/10/2008)
We also appreciate the fact that there is a US presidential election under way and both Senators and Congressmen are playing their part in this. However, we do not believe that misleading comment on Ethiopia or Eritrea should be part of this process, directly or indirectly. Nor do we think Senators or Congressmen should try to influence Americans of Ethiopian or Eritrean origin misleadingly. Congressman Payne, well-known for his repeated efforts to support any and all Ethiopian opposition, this week attempted to appeal to Eritrean Americans. Considering Congressman Payne’s repeated and public commitment to human rights, his listeners may have been surprised that he failed to raise the issue of human rights in Eritrea during his three day working visit there earlier this year. Congressman Payne described Eritrea as “very remarkable,” and said he had been very impressed by the activities of the Eritrean Government, and that he had agreed with President Issayas on many points. In the light of these comments, can anyone still take Congressman Payne’s profession of support for human rights in Africa at all seriously? more..
