Black Xmas: A Gift Under the Eritrea

From the United Nation:

"UN Security Council imposes arms embargo on Eritrea" by Colum Lynch, Washington Post | December 24, 2009

NEW YORK - The UN Security Council yesterday imposed an arms embargo on the East African country of Eritrea and vowed to add financial and travel restrictions on its leaders for arming Islamist militants in Somalia.

So when does one get slapped on Israel?

"Al-CIA-Duh" being trained by white guys?

The resolution, which was introduced by Uganda, passed by a vote of 13 to 1 in the 15-nation council, with Libya voting “no’’ and China abstaining.

Uganda trying to get out from under?

In opposing the vote, Libya’s UN envoy, Ibrahim Dabbashi, said: “Libya was a victim of sanctions for many years and as such has committed itself to not be a party to the taking of sanctions against any African country.’’

The embargo followed months of frustration by US, African, and UN officials over Eritrea’s alleged role in arming al-Shabaab, an Islamist group that is trying to overthrow Somalia’s UN-backed transitional government. The African Union, which has sent thousands of peacekeepers to Somalia, had urged the council to act.

Yeah, they are here to help.

Susan Rice, the US ambassador to the United Nations, said the United States quietly pressed Eritrea in recent months to cease its support for Somali militants but made little progress.

“The council acted today, not hastily, not aggressively, but with the aim quite sincerely of encouraging Eritrea to do as this council and so many of its members have repeatedly called upon it to do, which is not to continue actions which destabilize Somalia,’’ Rice said after the vote. “We did not come to this decision with any joy - or with anything other than a desire to support the stability of peace in the region.’’

She's really Condoleezza Rice with a face job, right?

Voice sounds the same.

Eritrea’s UN ambassador, Araya Desta, denied that Eritrea supports Somali militants, saying the resolution was based on lies concocted by Ethiopia, its neighbor and chief military adversary, and Ethiopia’s chief foreign ally, the United States.

Yeah, we support WAR CRIMINALS, America.

Sort of humbling, isn't it?

Ethiopia is accused of aiding Somali pirates

That explains a lot.

That's shameful!

Globalists trying to help?

“The UN Security Council has today passed a shameful resolution imposing sanctions against Eritrea,’’ he said after the vote, adding that Eritrea has never given military or financial support to the opposition in Somalia. “We don’t want to take sides.’’

I believe him! We KNOW who supports "Al-CIA-Duh"-linked groups!

In a recent interview with the Washington Post, Eritrea’s president, Isaias Afwerki, also dismissed the allegations as “fabricated’’ and accused the United States of pursuing years of failed policies in the region. The resolution expresses “grave concern’’ over Eritrea’s provision of “political, financial, and logistical support to armed groups engaged in undermining peace and reconciliation in Somalia.’’ It demands that Eritrea “cease all efforts to destabilize or overthrow, directly or indirectly’’ the transitional government.

Yeah, ONLY the CIA, Mossad, and MI-6 are allowed to do that!!!

The resolution also calls on the UN sanctions committee to compile a list of political and military leaders who will be barred from traveling outside Eritrea and whose assets will be frozen. The UN council has had an increasingly rocky relationship with Eritrea, which clashed in recent years with UN peacekeepers monitoring its border with Ethiopia and more recently refused to abide by UN demands to withdraw its troops from territory of its other neighbor, Djibouti.

Where the U.S. has troops stationed at a base next to the shipping lanes on the Horn of Africa (cui bono?), but that's not a problem for the U.N.
