Eritrea Rejects Jendayi Fraser's Press Statement

press release

Asmara — US Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Jendayi Fraser's statement to the press in Nairobi on the 19 th of October 2006 , alleging that " Eritrea has opened another front on Ethiopia by shipping arms into Somalia " is pure fabrication.

The timing of her statement against the Government of Eritrea is not surprising or secret, and it is not new.

Its objectives are:-

1. to cover up the failure of America 's policy and activities in Somalia,

2. to hide the failure of US support for Somali "war lords",

3. to justify the US administration's disinformation campaign about "terrorism" in Somalia , and

4. to create a pretext for the invasion of Somalia by its agent, the regime in Ethiopia .
