The “Minister of Information” of the Huthis made a preposterous accusation against Eritrea via  Tehran-financed “Meyadin” Arabic Tv Channel on March 24 last month. The “Minister of Information” of the Huthis made a preposterous accusation against Eritrea via  Tehran-financed “Meyadin” Arabic Tv Channel on March 24 last month.In his ludicrous invective, the Huthi official claims that “four remnant brigades of ISIL and Al-Qaeda are regrouping in Eritrea after their latest defeat in Turkey”.  Their aim is “to scuttle the Hodeida Agreement”, he opines.It is perhaps unfitting to respond to such trite disinformation - which is not different, in style and intentions -  from Al-Jeezera’s false news on Assab broadcast earlier last month.  Clearly, all these repeated lies underscore the sinister agenda of its assorted peddlers.   Eritrea’s robust stance and decades-old struggle against terrorism and Islamist extremism is otherwise a matter of record and well-known to both its friends and detractors.

The sporadic acts of subversion conducted by the Turkish Government, (under the auspices of the ruling Justice and Development Party, AKP), against Eritrea are well known to merit elaboration here. The sporadic acts of subversion conducted by the Turkish Government, (under the auspices of the ruling Justice and Development Party, AKP), against Eritrea are well known to merit elaboration here.   These futile acts are perpetrated through the funding and operational services of Qatar, as well as the collusion of the Sudanese regime which has allowed its territory to be used for the nefarious aims.  These subversive acts have been ratcheted up especially in the past year with the singular aim of obstructing the peace process and positive developments in the ties between Eritrea and Ethiopia in particular and the whole Horn of Africa region in general.  In this vein, the Turkish Government has opened, at the beginning of this year, an Office for the Chairman of the obscure “Eritrean Muslim League” under the mantle of “Eritrean Ulama’s League/Eritrean Rabita-i Ulama”.  The inflammatory public pronouncements made against Eritrea and Ethiopia in a meeting of this subversive outfit few days ago in Khartoum were beyond any bounds.  But they will remain no more than mere tantrum and posturing!
