Ethiopian, Eritrean Troops Clash on Border, Horn Affairs Says

June 12, 2016 — 5:47 PM CEST
 
Ethiopian and Eritrean troops clashed at several border locations on Sunday, local website Horn Affairs said, citing sources it didn’t identify. Ethiopia’s government said it had no reports of incidents.

Fighting involving heavy artillery began around 5 a.m. and continued until at least early afternoon, the Addis Ababa-based website said.

The incident could be an effort by the Eritrean government to distract attention from a June 8 United Nations report that said its leaders committed crimes against humanity, Getachew Reda, Ethiopia’s communications minister, said by phone from Frankfurt.

 Eritrea’s Information Minister Yemane Gebremeskel didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment made on Twitter Inc.

Eritrea, a former province of its neighbor, fought a two-year war with Ethiopia that formally ended in 2000, although its government has maintained war-time controls such as requiring national service and suspended enactment of a constitution.

 
 

In a recent reshuffle of the Swedish cabinet headed by Social Democratic Prime Minister Stefan löfven, a long-time friend, Ann Linde, was appointed as the Minister for European Union Affairs and Trade. The Eritrean People's Democratic Party (EPDP) congratulated Ms Linde and expected her to initiate and promote proposals that towards empowering Eritrean pro-democracy forces in the diaspora.

 

Dated 10 June 2016, the EPDP memorandum, which was also copied to the Swedish Foreign Minister, Ms Margot Wallström, seized the opportunity to remind the addressees and their ruling party of their two resolutions at the 37th party congress in 2014 pledging to help in the capacity-building of Eritrean pro-democracy organizations and to fight towards ending the illegal 2% tax and related financial extortions that the Eritrean regime is practicing inside Sweden.

 

in addition, the memorandum also urged the fraternal Party and Government in Sweden to play leading roles in the following efforts:

  1. Give full backing to the findings and conclusions of the UN Commission of Inquiry on Human Rights in Eritrea;
  2. Initiate a regional and/or global action plan to avert the high possibility of Eritrea becoming another totally failed state in the Horn of Africa;
  3. Lay down and promote a blueprint for a non-violent political transition in Eritrea within the shortest time possible;
  4. Launching a large-scale package project for Eritrean refugees in the Sudan and Ethiopia with adequate shelter, healthcare and proper academic and vocational education.

The memo, issued by the EPDP office for foreign relations, also expected to see both ministries for further talks on the issues raised in the message.

 

Ms Ann Linde, who, inter alia, served as the international secretary for the Swedish Social Democratic Party, has also been a long-time friends of Eritrean oppositions organizations including the EPDP.

Eritrea’s culture of fear

Written by

Eritrea’s culture of fear

 
 

WHEN PEOPLE risk their lives to evade armed border guards or pack rickety boats at sea, you can be sure the conditions they are fleeing are frightful. This is as true for the persecuted Rohingya Muslims of Burma who set sail on packed vessels in the Andaman Sea as for the escapees who manage to flee the horrors of North Korea’s prison camps. And it is true for people fleeing Eritrea, a country that won independence from Ethiopia in 1993 and has become a human rights disaster.

Listen, for example, to a woman who fled last year. Her husband had been arrested in 2009 outside their home, she told the U.N. Commission of Inquiry on Human Rights in Eritrea . She went to the prison to find out why. “For years, I was going once a week. I took food and some clothes. They never told me how he was doing.” After a few years, the prison refused to take the food and clothes. She lost hope. “I haven’t seen my husband in seven years and don’t know if he is alive or not. I searched for him, but the authorities finally told me just don’t bother coming back, there’s no point.”

She joined the flood tide of people leaving Eritrea and attempting to cross the Mediterranean Sea on flimsy rafts and boats. According to the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees , the global number of asylum seekers and refugees from Eritrea as of a year ago stood at 444,091, about 12 percent of the country’s official population count of 3.6 million. (Unofficial totals are 6 million to 7 million.) Eritreans accounted for 24.7 percent of all Mediterranean arrivals by sea to Italy last year, the largest number from a single country of origin.

An explanation is contained in the latest report of the U.N. Commission of Inquiry , published Wednesday, which found reasonable grounds to believe that “crimes against humanity” have been committed against the population. The report urged a referral to the International Criminal Court. The crimes include indefinite national service, arbitrary detention, torture, enforced disappearance, persecution on ethnic and religious grounds, rape and murder. They are a powerful indictment of the rule of President Isaias Afwerki, who has been in power since 1991.

The U.N. Commission, which Eritrea did not permit to visit, conducted 833 interviews from outside and documented a “general climate of fear.” Many of the abuses are centered around the military in a heavily militarized society. Soldiers are conscripted, made to serve indefinitely in abusive conditions — sometimes as forced labor in state-owned companies. Torture is extensive and methodical in civilian and military detention facilities. Rape in military training centers, in the army and in detention is committed with impunity, and soldiers are not punished for rape in society.

Orthodox patriarch among number of religious leaders jailed by Horn of Africa state

While citing systematic and widespread human rights abuses in Eritrea, UN's Human Rights Commission has called for the respect of religion and belief in the horn of Africa country.

The Catholic Church is one of four religious denominations authorised to operate by the government in the Red Sea country. The others are the Eritrean Orthodox, Evangelical Lutheran and Sunni Islam, but many protestant, pentecostal and evangelical groups are not allowed to operate.

The commission said in the report released on June 8 that state authorities have cracked down and detained members of unauthorised religious groups, such as the Pentecostal churches and Jehovah Witness.

Since 2007, the former Patriarch of the Eritrean Tewahedo Orthodox Church, Abune Antonios, is under house arrest, strict surveillance and held without charge. The 89 years old patriarch was forcefully removed from office by government after he protested the authority’s interference in church matters. He is the most senior religious figure currently serving a detention.

“Sources said the victims has asked for the release of Patriarch Abune Antonios,” said report

Unconfirmed number of priests, deacons and monks of the Eritrean Orthodox Church have been arbitrary arrested and detained, according to report.

The country has scored poorly in global freedom indexes, with its fleeing citizen accounting for a large number of refugees trying to cross to Europe through the Mediterranean Sea. The report indicated that the government of President Isaias Afwerki also kill those trying to flee the country.

It has since rejected the report which details extrajudicial killings, torture, sexual slavery and forced labour, saying the accounts were exaggerated. In the past, the country has also been accused supporting radical Islam in the region, especially in Somalia.

In the report, the UN body calls for immediate and unconditional release all those arbitrary detained, an end to arbitrary arrests and detention of individuals based on religious beliefs.

SADC CNGO

10 June 2016

PRESS STATEMENT

For Immediate Release

The release of a damning report on human rights violations in Eritrea by the Commission of Inquiry On Human Rights in Eritrea (COI-E) under the auspices of the UN Human Rights Commission affirms SADC CNGO’s long standing concern about the Eritrean government’s deep rooted and ever-escalating violations of human rights against its citizens. Over the time we have noted reports out of Eritrea of torture, assassinations and enslavement of citizens without recourse to the rule of law. SADC CNGO believes that the totality of these barbaric acts constitute extreme forms of crimes against humanity and thus the continued silence of the African Union and the African leadership in particular on the suffering of the Eritrean people raises profound concerns on the protection of human rights under the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights.

Established by the Human Rights Council Resolution 26/24 of 27th of June 2014, the COI-E released its first report in June 2015 (A/HRC/29/42) in which it ascertained the existence of “systematic and widespread human rights violations committed by the Eritrean government”. The report was adopted by the UN Human Rights Commission, which resolved to extend the mandate of the COI-E for another twelve months. After twelve months the COI-E released its report in which it unequivocally concluded that:

“[it] has a reasonable ground to believe that crimes against humanity, namely, enslavement, imprisonment, enforced disappearance, torture, other inhumane acts, persecutions, rape and murder, have been committed in Eritrea since 1991.”  

On this basis, the COI-E recommended, among other things, that the UN Security Council “determine(s) that the situation of human rights in Eritrea poses a threat to international peace and security” and that the African Union “establishe[s] an accountability mechanism, under the aegis of the African Union and supported by the international community, to investigate, prosecute and try individuals reasonably believed to have committed crimes against humanity”.

Against this background and reiterating the resolutions of the 10th Southern Africa Civil Society Forum in July 2014 in Harare, Zimbabwe, and the 6th Citizens’ Continental Conference held on 21-23 January 2016 in Addis Ababa, SADC CNGO calls upon the African Union to expeditiously put the human rights situation in Eritrea on its agenda and establish accountability mechanisms as recommended by the COI-E.

We are once again calling upon the African Union to act decisively and fearlessly to protect the lives of defenseless men, women and children in Eritrea against their authoritarian government. For our attainment of the aspirations of Agenda 2063 and the principle of “African solutions to African problems”, the African Union must not fail the people of Eritrea yet again and thus must urgently act on the recommendations of the Commission’s report.
