WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States [that is backing the Woyanne terrorist regime in Ethiopia] is considering putting Eritrea on its list of state sponsors of terrorism, which would impose some sanctions, for allowing arms to flow into Somalia, a senior U.S. official said on Friday.
“We are looking into it,” U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Jendayi Frazer told reporters.
“Frankly, the [mis]information so far that we have collected is fairly convincing about their activities … in Somalia.”
Eritrea is the archrival of Ethiopia, and diplomats say the two have been waging a proxy war in Somalia since last year when Asmara backed a hard-line Islamist movement against the country’s fragile government.
Ethiopia [Woyanne] sent in troops to support the government and dislodge the Islamists from Mogadishu.
According to a U.N. report released on July 26, large quantities of weapons — including surface-to-air missiles — are reaching Islamic insurgents in Somalia from Eritrea. Eritrea has denied sending the weapons.
Frazer [an apologist for African tyrants] said the United States had intelligence that substantiated the U.N. report.
She stressed that the United States did not wish to place Eritrea on the state sponsors of terrorism list and suggested Asmara now had a chance to stop Washington from taking the step by changing its behavior toward Somalia.
“We are not looking to go down this route but if they continue their behavior and we put together the file that’s necessary, I think it would be fairly convincing,” Frazer said.

Elias,
Why are you advocating the shabia government? It is one thing to fight woyane but I don’t see the wisdom in defending shabia……
Are lib engza sewoch…………………
If we did what we did before, we will get what we got.
Peace
Why do you attack the Journalists…who are bringing the news to our doors? Address the issues please!
Rueters report (posted by Elias)has nothing to do with supporting shabia or not. It is the Reuters intention to show how ridicules the State Department policy towards east Africa has become. Both Meles and Issayas regimes are terrorists and we know that and they know that. But if you are under the wing of US you are OK, and you are terrorizing “what not” on their behalf. Ms Frazer is just implementing the deceptive policy of the US and Meles knows how to play the game. Every evil deeds he is getting into has a scapegoat, Eritrea. It is a systematic way of terrorizing the Ethiopian public. Don’t forget Meles and his cronies are publicly speaking that the Ethiopia we know is a danger to Eritrea. He is so arrogant and untouchable he decided to be frank about it. This has nothing to do with the /Ethiopian interest.
Two days ago was OLF (“of Eritrea”) who was in Nazreth we were told. Good reason to round up a dissenting voice. Things are becoming so ridicules that it is getting to the stage of just sickening. Meles thinks he is the smartest crook on this earth forgetting that decency is what is holding a number of governments back from telling like it is. It is just sad and making the opposition speechless.
The editor is of this website does as much damage to the Ethiopian cause as the anybody. This is a very irresponsible website. With previlage comes responsiblity too. May God open your eyes because you do not seem to know what you are doing.
Elias please go to “Tebel” (holy water!
shabia are angry that america has neglected them and they want as much attention as the woyane are getting from america. america made the choice to stick with the woyane because the woyane do what america tells them to do.
Who cares what Jendayi Frazer says. She is Zenawi’s fat bitch. May be he promised her a job at Sheraton Addis when she retires.
Who cares about American saction. In fact Eritrea has been under defacto American saction for almost a decade now.
Dear Elias,
i am always respectful of the good work you are doing. When today i read on your website about the statment by president essays afworki, i jumped out of my chair with joy and said yes. You know what, i was looking for this kind of information for so long and i got it now.
with regard to some people who want to intimidate you for what you believe, forget them. They are political idiots and arrogants who needs to learn the ABC of political science. they are disillusioned and as such do not know what they are talking about.
i suffered in the hands of ethnists of all sorts, tigrian, oromo, etc. i know what it means to suffer in ethiopia.
The people who oppose you are those who position themselves to be ruled indefinitely by the tigrians and who want to see ethiopia destryoed before their eyes, rather than save ethiopia from destruction.
They are more like laboratory technicans who enjoy experiments under controlled conditions. They do not realise that politics is fluid or dynamics that changes frequently.
These people are the ones who want to delay the libration of ethiopia from tyranny and the freedom of the ethiopian people. These are the people who want to get freedom by the sacrifices of the poor ethiopian sons and daughters while they enjoy their lives in the west, shame on them!!!
these are the ones who needs to learn about the dynamics of east african politics. They are arrogant and think that what they say could change things on the ground, rather than what they do.
We better forget this and other agents of the tigrian regime. If president esayas wants to unify us, why not?
it is time for all ethiopians to position themselves for what comes from the north to get free. other wise forget about peaceful struggle, forget about negotiation, forget about western support. It is high him for that. the woyannes has already beaten us on that front. let us count on the people of ethiopia, change out strategy and start now the journey for our freedom.
I do hope what the resurrection of ethiopia is near.
