A number of politicians in The Hague are concerned about a conference for supporters of the Eritrean dictatorial regime that is planned for the Netherlands, NOS reports based on information from OneWorld.

The gathering will be the annual European conference for youth wing of the only party allowed in Eritrea. It is not yet clear when and where the conference will be held. But according to the broadcaster, it will be in the Netherlands and in the next couple of days. Around 650 people are expected to attend. 

OneWorld has "strong indications" that one of the attendees will be the right hand man of Eritrean president Isaias Afwerki. He often attends this type of gathering, during which he informs people about how they can serve their country. 

Some 20 thousand Eritreans live in the Netherlands. Last year people from Eritrea formed the second largest group of asylum seekers in our country. According to the UN, the Eritrean government violates human rights on a large scale.

A number of parliamentarians are concerned about this conference, wondering whether the presence of Afwerki's right hand man will constitute a treat to public order in the Netherlands, NOS reports. A number compared this situation to Turkish ministers who wanted to campaign in the Netherlands for a Turkish referendum a few weeks ago. The Dutch government denied them access to the country, resulting in a diplomatic fallout between the Netherlands and Turkey. 

Eritrese vluchtelingen op vakantie in land van herkomst

ኤርትራውያን ስደተኛታት ንዕርፍቲ ናብታ ዝመጹላ ሃገር ይኸዱ

Veel vluchtelingen uit Eritrea gaan nog altijd op vakantie naar het land waaruit ze gevlucht zijn. Het kabinet wil de verblijfsvergunning van deze vakantiegangers afpakken, maar dat gebeurt nog nauwelijks bij Eritreeërs.

Bij tientallen andere asielzoekers die tijdelijk terugreisden naar het land van herkomst heeft het kabinet wel hun verblijfsvergunning ingetrokken, schrijft de Telegraaf vanmorgen. Staatssecretaris Klaas Dijkhoff sprak eerder schande over het terugreizen naar het land van herkomst, omdat deze landen volgens de vluchtelingen extreem gevaarlijk zijn, waardoor ze moesten vluchten.

Eritreeërs nauwelijks gecontroleerd

Uit, door de Telegraaf, opgevraagde documenten bij het ministerie van Justitie zou blijken dat sinds half 2015 geen enkele Eritreeër een verblijfsvergunning is onthouden vanwege een vakantie in het land van herkomst. Het kabinet beweert dat dit soort terugreizen niet spelen bij Eritreeërs, maar afgelopen zomer gingen er bijvoorbeeld al zo’n 1.000 Eritreeërs terug naar het land waar ze uit ‘gevlucht’ waren.

Goudmijn voor Eritrees regime

De Eritrese overheid zou de ‘vluchtelingen’ met open armen ontvangen omdat ze veel geld uitgeven in het land van herkomst.

Journaliste Nikki Sterkenburg van Elsevier begrijpt niet zo goed waarom het kabinet deze Eritreeërs zo makkelijk laat lopen. “Als je kijkt naar het vliegverkeer daarnaartoe en de passagierslijsten bestudeert zou het niet zo moeilijk moeten zijn om erachter te komen wie dat zijn”, vertelt ze in de uitzending van Goedemorgen Nederland.

The Eritrean government is organising a conference in the Netherlands which should be seen as a clear signal to dissidents that the regime is in charge, broadcaster NOS said on Tuesday.

The People’s Front for Democracy and Justice, the only political party permitted in Eritrea, is organising its annual youth European conference in the Netherlands this weekend.

Some 650 supporters of the dictatorship will attend the meeting and there are indications that the right-hand man of president Isaias Afewerki will also be there, NOS said.

Many Eritrean refugees in the Netherlands regard the conference as an act of provocation, Tilburg University professor Mirjam van Reisen told NOS. ‘Over the past few years, the PFDJ has lost several law suits against critics of the regime,’ she said. ‘The government wants to show the Eritrean community that it still rules in the Netherlands.’

 
Eritrea has been condemned by the UN for crimes against humanity and the UN estimates hundreds of thousands of Eritreans have fled the country in recent years.

Intimidation

Recent Tilburg University research shows a large percentage of the 20,000 or so Eritrean nationals who live in the Netherlands feel under pressure or intimidated by the regime, which has been in power since 1993.

A spy network operates in the Netherlands and there are concerns that the conference will be used to identify more spies.  ‘The youth wing of the PFDJ has a lot of influence in the Netherlands,’ 25-year-old refugee Fikadu Hagos told NOS. ‘They are everywhere.’

According to radio programme OneWorld, several Dutch government ministries are concerned about the meeting, which will take place this weekend. The location has not yet been made public.

Refugees not so welcome: most Germans say country has reached its limit

A new study shows how Germans are still for welcoming in refugees in principle, but at the same time feel like their country can't cope with more arrivals.

A large majority of Germans still say that immigrants and refugees are “welcome or very welcome” in their country after the country took in over a million asylum seekers in two years, the report by the Bertelsmann Foundation found.

While 70 percent of respondents said that immigrants are welcome, 59 percent said the same of refugees.

The response to immigration has been positive over the last five years, the study showed. In 2012, 49 percent of Germans said that immigrants are welcome in Germany. In 2015, 59 percent of people gave the same reply.

This year was the first time that the study asked for people’s opinions on how welcome refugees are.

But, despite the fact that a majority of Germans said refugees are welcome in their country, a majority also felt the country had reached its limit in terms of taking in more asylum seekers.

While in 2015, 40 percent of respondents told the study that Germany had reached the point where it could take in no more refugees, in 2017 this proportion had risen to 54 percent.

“The willingness of Germans to take in more refugees has dropped significantly,” the report observed.

The study also found a clear cleft between the east and west of Germany in attitudes towards refugees.

While 33 percent of residents of former East Germany said that Germans should welcome refugees “with open arms,” almost double that proportion (65 percent) said so in the west.
