In a seminar conducted
in Khartoum Sudan on Friday 19th February 2010, the Eritrean Community
in Khartoum, denounced US sanctions imposed in the name of Security
Council and affirmed their readiness to defend their nation and stand
alongside their people and government.
The seminar was attended, by Mr. Abdella Jaber, Head of Organisational
Affairs at the PFDJ, H.E. Issa Ahmed Issa, Eritrean Ambassador to Sudan,
community elders, religious leaders and over 3000 Eritreans.
After an introduction, Mr. Abdella Jaber gave the participants of the
seminar extensive briefing regarding the situation in Eritrea . He reminded
that Eritrea has come through successive obstacles and animosities in
the past 60 years and the disguised hostilities have continued by the
US administrations against the Eritrean people.
He carried on saying that, history is witness of the Eritrean peoples
triumph to the fact that they have always prevailed against all odds
and that they will steadfastly overcome the recent US engineered unjust
and illegal sanctions.
With the cultured and rule abiding people and leadership that has progressive
and realistic policies, Eritrea has become exemplary to those who have
an agenda of domination and particularly to USA which have openly become
hostile against the Eritrean people.
The baseless sanctions against Eritrea were adopted under the pretext
that it extends financial and arms support to Somali extremists and
non-recognition of the externally imposed transitional government in
Somalia. He explained that, Eritrea does not interfere in the internal
affairs of Somalia and that it advocates the existence of a united and
sovereign Somali nation.
Still, Eritrea has the right to extend political and moral support to
the Somali people. He further underlined that the resolution in the
name of Security Council is designed to sabotage the dynamic development
achievements registered in Eritrea through the concerted efforts of
people, Government as well as members of the Eritrean Defense Force
(EDF). 
Mr. Abdella Jaber also reminded the participants that, our biggest responsibility
to the Eritrean martyrs is to never compromise Eritrea s national
security.
The participants on their part expressed their willingness and readiness
to enhance their contribution towards the ongoing nation building process
and that they will always stand alongside their people and Government
and will rebuff any external conspiracies by strengthening their unity
and will defend their nation whatever the costs are.
They further affirmed that the development endeavors being undertaken
on the basis of self-reliance and the nations independent political
path would not be hampered by external conspiracy.
The participants concluded the seminar by passing the following resolutions.
They denounce the unjust and illegal sanctions on Eritrea and
call on the Security Council to lift the sanctions immediately.
Call on worldwide demonstration against the illegal and unjust
sanctions.
Call on Eritrean nationals to stand alongside their people and
leadership.
They will continue to work towards realizing the mapped out development
