Eritreans Request the Government of Eritrea to Sue Britain and the United States

By Alula Abraha,

Dear all,

We're pleased to inform you that concerned Eritreans & friends of Eritrea have finally initiated a process to request the Government of Eritrea to sue the British Government for compensation for the wanton theft of several infrastructures, including the world's longest cable-car that stretched from the capital Asmara to the port city of Massawa, during the British Military administration/occupation of Eritrea from 1941-1952. The total amount looted is estimated to be worth Billions of Dollars & can help build hundreds of schools & Hospitals across the country.

Besides, we urge the government of Eritrea to also sue the US government, whose hegemonic foreign policy had prioritised (& still does) its insatiable foreign policy interest at the expense of the very human & democratic right of the people of Eritrea, when the US, unilaterally, sanctioned the unfair federation of Eritrea with & later illegally annexed by its ally Ethiopia & this is how the then US Secretary of State, John Foster Dallas, arrogantly uttered on record in 1952 just days before his government condemned Eritrea to a further occupation & colonisation by its client State (AKA "ally").

"From the point of view of justice, the opinions of the Eritrean people must receive consideration. Nevertheless the strategic interests of the United States in the Red Sea basin and considerations of security and world peace make it necessary that the country has to be linked with our ally, Ethiopia."

Such policy was & is the cause for the suffering of Eritreans for almost half a century & the very reason that had triggered a bitter 30 war for independence that Eritreans freedom fighters eventually concluded their struggle to its legal ending, rightfully so, 52 years after Eritreans were actually denied the same inalienable rights. As a result, the people of Eritrea paid heavy sacrifice costing over 100,000 of its dear children in order to right the wrongs perpetrated by successive occupiers/colonisers assisted by successive world powers.

So from the point of justice, we urge all Eritreans & fellow citizen of the world to support the just fight against injustices.
