There is no one that has not observed and been surprised with the Djiboutian government’s totally unwarranted recent anti-Eritrea hostile campaigns.

It has also been making continued futile attempts to drag the Government of Eritrea into its concocted animosity.

As the Eritrean government has repeatedly asserted, although it is closely and patiently following up the developments and its sponsors, it hereby reiterates that it would under no circumstances get involved in an invitation of squabbles and acts of hostility designed to undermine good-neighborliness.

  1. The Eritreans’ Aggression: The Unwanted Phenomenon in the Region.

    “Globalisation is a development process for nations in a region do intend to make”.

    The Somali people are renowned for their generous hospitability towards their guests traditionally. This issue is doubled when a foreigner/a non-Somali person is involved; a Westerner, if i may cite an example, probably say good morning to another, whilst a Somali asks one, obviously after greeting, how everybody, including the sick in a family is doing, and/or for generosity sake perhaps says to another person, please milk my cow, and/or she-camel. My point of argument is that the Somalis were very good, and caring to the Eritrean people during the later’s struggle for their independence. I do still vividly recall the fact that some Eritrean students did study with us during our intermediate years. There were many, many more of them who did travel the Arabian Peninsula with Somali Passports at that period, and the Arabs thought them Somalis. It was, in fact, a very worthwhile point to be remembered for good, and to be rewarded handsomely, and honourably.

    The Eritrean nation did get its independence. Thanks Allah The Most Able for making it happen. And the Eritrean country was recognized, politics-wise, internationally. These people should have, however, put their house in proper, before actually jumping into another issue that is not their business, or beyond its own business. The point i am making is the Eritrean government instead of helping its neighbours, by taking the assistance given in the past into consideration, did make unwanted aggression, by engaging itself in hostility with its neighbours, first with Ethiopia, and recently with Djibouti Republic, let alone become a useful neighbour..

    The Somali experience, adept the mayhem there, is standing, and true to the records. The Eritrean government’s input here was to take sides with a party, instead of mediating, and probably playing an ambassadorial role for peace, and stability, an issue that would have remained high in its political agenda, being fighting, fighting hard for a long time.

    The Eritrean President is very tyrannt. His word is final in the political spectrum of that country. This has a detrimental effect of the distribution of resources in the country though very poor. And no wonder the Eritrean public, it is alleged, is going out of the country in great numbers; it was a senior marine official together with a large number of fellow workers, who were responsible for monitoring the Red Sea Areas, had deflected to Yemen as recently as the day before yesterday i.e. May; 22 nd, 2009. It is obviously clear that the Eritrean public’s attention is taken off the domestic affairs that do occur there, and is probably made busy in others that do put them off temporarily. It will be a matter of a short time before such events do become common knowledge of the public, and the sooner it does the better.

    It is said that the ‘iron should be striken hot. The point I am aiming for is that country did home a party, a point worth readdressing, and rebalancing as long as peace, and stability in the region are concerned. The Ethiopian confrontation, an old enemy, and a colonizer, is another issue that deserves to be discussed. The factor that needs addressing is that the country very much is interested to outmanoeuvre every country in the region, a point observed very closely time, and again. It is, however, globalisation process every region wants to undertake for its development.

    My point of argument is Eritrea is actively involved in making confrontations with its neighbours. It was initially Ethiopia, with some connections now, regarding population-ties, that it would have started with some diplomatic relations so that mutual co-operation, and assistance would have made into the right direction, and that old animosities would have been forgotten once, and for all, as new era for development has emerged World-wide.

    The recent clash with Djibouti Republic makes the point of aggression quite emphatic, and absolutely true. It obviously puts one in a position to take-for-guaranteed that the invading army causes destruction, including death. And most certainly it was Eritrea to be blamed for it, without any shadow-of-doubt whatsoever. The whole purpose of this article is vindicated here, and hence points the figure to it, Eritrea, as the aggressor.

    It is said that ‘it is better to be late than never’, the point to be conveyed is to act once instead of being forgotten altogether. The logic i am arriving at is to stop the aggression, and to start effective diplomatic relations with the neighbours, so much so that co-operation, and development flourish, and that hostility becomes a thing of the past.

    Conclusions:

    The Somali Peoples were very good to the Eritreans during the later’s struggle for independence. It is extremely important to build on this positive thing, as ingredients for mutual co-operation are there to be used effectively. The East African Region is very vulnerable, and perhaps futile for, and perhaps sensitive to making hostility. It will be great, and probably marvelous for the different nations to take this very fact into account, and hence double their untiring efforts of avoiding it totally. The globalisation process is a good way forward to be initiated for the development of the region, peace, and stability.

    May Allah guide us to the right path.
