UNHCR Seriously Questions Reliability of The Danish Report on the Situation in Eritrea

 

EPDP Information Office

In statement released this week, the UNHCR expressed “a number of concerns as regards the methodology” used by the recent report of the Danish Immigration Service (DIS) and its confusion of sources as well as its selective use of unverified facts from usually ill-identified interlocutors. The Danish report wished to portray that the situation in Eritrea is “not as bad as reported” by the rest of the world.

The DIS report refers to have met “a UN agency” in Asmara without saying which agency, and the UNHCR wished to confirm that that reference should not implicate it.

UNHCR also regretted that the report given to DIS by its Shire office could have been useful in helping DIS reach right conclusions. Instead, the relied on “on speculative statements” of other informants regarding nationality identification of UNHCR registered refugees in Shire.

The UNHCR also expressed its frustration with the report’s failure to make ample direct quotes from its sources and in its lumping together information provided it by various informants.

The UNHCR statement added: “The (DIS) report does not include any reflections on the reliability of specific sources of information. No information is provided in the report about the regulatory framework for the media, NGOs, research institutes and other actors in Eritrea, nor does the report contain an assessment of the impact of these regulatory frameworks on the independence of certain sources and the reliability of information provided by these sources”.

Eritrea's struggle for media freedom

Eritrea remains a difficult country from which to retrieve information as journalists are often prosecuted under state security laws (AFP)

 

The East African Journalists Association (EFJA) has called on the international community to step up pressure on the Eritrean government to release detained journalists and to support all exiled Eritrean journalists working from other countries. EFJA Chairman William Janak, who also represents the International Journalists Association in East Africa, has welcomed the UN move last week to appoint three experts as members of the new UN Commission of Inquiry on Eritrea. Janak believes the “Commission’s report will form an important basis for further action to help the press and human rights situation in that country.” Experts are doubtful whether the Eritrean government will cooperate with the UN Commission of Inquiry allowing investigation into reported human rights abuses in the country. It has repeatedly denied entry permit to UN Special Rapporteur Sheila B. Keetharuth who is now a member of the commission. Banning free press

  A group of three Eritrean Peoples’ Democratic Party’s  youth prepared an inclusive and a very reach exhibition in the city of Oslo, Norway with the aim of providing to the Norwegian community and Authorities direct information about the ill condition in Eritrea. The exhibition was expanded for 9 days i.e. from 23 – 29 August 2014 in one of the famous public Norwegian libraries called ‘Deichmans Biblioteket’. In these exhibition visiting days, many library customers have got vast information about the current sad human condition in Eritrea. The project contained around 90 pictures representing devastating humanitarian, economic, political, cultural state in their homeland.  Some of the pictures on the inhumanly treating of Eritrean youth by Bedewing and some Eritreans in their way to exile created an agony in the minds of the visitors.

At Eritrea Festival 2014 Speech, EPDP Chairman Urged Eritreans to Struggle to End their heartbreaking Situation

EPDP Information Office

In his keynote address at the Eritrea Festival 2014 in Frankfurt on 9 August, 2014, Mr. Menghisteab Asmerom, chairman of the Eritrean People’s Democratic Party (EPDP), reminded all compatriots opposed to the regime that change could not be achieved until now because of lack of sufficient “political will and courage” and listed the challenges that needed to be addressed now.

The EPDP chairman reiterated the deep regret on the loss of so many Eritreans in Lampedusa and voiced from the Festival podium a renewed resolve to continue the struggle to remove the cause of all these tragedies.

Mr. Menghisteab Asmerom regretted the fragmented state of affairs of the forces opposed to the regime in Eritrea and called for an urgent action on the challenging questions that included the following:

• Given the state of affairs it is in, is the Eritrean opposition camp capable to effective replace the dictatorial regime in Eritrea that must be removed without delay?
• What should and can we do to address the ongoing displacement and suffering of our people?
• What can be done to coordinate the popular resistance at home and in diaspora?

The festival hall included distinguished host country officials and distinguished invited guests that the EPDP chairman wished to welcome each and every one of them by calling their names and their organizations. The eminent guests represented the following institutions and organizations:

Isayas Afeworki and other Eritrean Officials to be charged

Isayas Afeworki and other Eritrean Officials to be charged
A legal institution in Sweden is to charge Eritrean president Isayas Afeworki and other Eritrean officials on human rights abuse cases: Ethiochannel newspaper writes.

The legal institution claimed to have an authority from the Sweden government to charge individuals of any country who committed human rights abuses. The institution said that it resolved to charge the Eritrean president and other Eritrean officials for the crimes they have committed on their citizens.

The institution said that it has gathered lots of evidence on the crimes committed by the Eritrean officials.

Eritreere misbruker norsk asylsystem og reiser til hjemlandet

Mange eritreere som har fått asyl i Norge reiser til hjemlandet på ferie og for lengre opphold, noe som er i strid med vilkåret for å få asyl. Utlendingsdirektoratet (UDI) innfører nå nye regler for å hindre at asylinstituttet blir misbrukt.
Eritreiske asylsøkere utgjør den største gruppen som får asyl i Norge. Så langt i år har 843 personer fått asyl fra Eritrea, det utgjør nær 60 prosent av alle som har fått asyl så langt i år.
Når du får asyl og beskyttelse i Norge er det et vilkår at du ikke reiser hjem til landet du fikk asyl fra. Først når du er blitt norsk statsborger, som du kan søke om etter sju års sammenhengende botid i Norge, kan du reise fritt, også til hjemlandet du flyktet fra.
Hvis det kan dokumenteres at du har brutt dette vilkåret, risikerer du å miste oppholdsgrunnlaget i Norge. Dette kalles tilbakekallelse av asyl.

UDI vet om reising

NRK har i lengre tid hatt kilder i det eritreiske miljøet i Norge som har fortalt om eritreere som reiser hjem til Eritrea. Navngitte personer har i det eritreiske miljøet ikke lagt skjul på at de har vært tilbake i hjemlandet, selv om det er to til tre år siden de fikk asyl i Norge.
Også norske utlendingsmyndigheter har fått disse opplysningene. Utlendingsdirektoratet sier nå et de er kjent med at eritreere i Norge driver omfattende reisevirksomhet til Eritrea, en reisevirksomhet som altså bryter med vilkåret for å få asyl i Norge.
– Vi har rapporter på at det foregår reisevirksomhet, og det er i så fall i strid med forutsetningen for å få asyl i Norge, sier UDI-direktør Frode Forfang til NRK.

Indestructible Spirit of Resilience: The Hallmark of the Eritrean Society

EPDP Editorial

Eritrean people are known for their resilience. They survived through the spirit of resilience over the last century in confronting those who attempted to subjugate them. And that spirit of resilience was never limited or propped up only in the event of facing foreign forces, but continued as a vital constituent element across the Eritrean cultures and traditions,

one that embodies our love for our country, our love for justice and rule of law, our love for unity, our love for mutual recognition and acceptance as Eritreans bound together and inseparable in our destiny…etc. This statement is not a fig leaf, but a fact witnessed over the last one hundred years in general and in the longest armed struggle ever waged in particular.

Marit Nybakk til utenriksministeren

 
Sak nr. 7 [14:02:18]
Interpellasjon fra representanten Marit Nybakk til utenriksministeren:
«Eritrea har et av verdens mest undertrykkende regimer. På Press Freedom Index' siste oversikt plasseres landet aller sist - etter Nord-Korea. Folk som kritiserer myndighetene, fengsles på ubestemt tid uten lov og dom. Tortur er utbredt, forholdene i fengslene tar livet av mange. Eritrea preges av fattigdom, analfabetisme og andre tegn på feilutvikling. Flere hundre tusen sitter i flyktni ngleire i nabolandene. UDI anslår at 2-3 000 mennesker flykter fra landet hver måned, mange prøver å ta seg over Middelhavet. Utenlandske medier er ikke velkomne, de fleste bistandsorganisasjoner er kastet ut. Norge har ved ulike korsveier spilt en avgjørende rolle i Eritreas moderne historie.
Hva kan Norge gjøre for å bidra til at vi ikke får en total statskollaps i Eritrea med den destabilisering det kan bety for regionen og Afrikas Horn?»

Marit Nybakk (A) [14:03:31]: Allerede rundt år 2000 ble jeg gjort oppmerksom på den skjulte, den ukjente flyktningsituasjonen i Øst-Sudan. De hadde ikke verdens oppmerksomhet rettet mot seg, og det har de for så vidt heller ikke i dag. De var nemlig flyktninger fra den unge staten Eritrea, som folk jublet entusiastisk over, og som fikk sin selvstendighet gjennom en FN-overvåket folkeavstemning i 1993. Her i Øst-Sudan satt fortsatt flere hundre tusen flyktninger fra Eritrea.

(VG) Eritrea har sperret inne minst 10.000 politiske fanger og mange soner under horrible forhold, ifølge Amnesty.

Menneskerettighetsorganisasjonen har gitt ut en rapport om forholdene i Eritrea i forbindelse med at det fredag var 20 år siden verdenssamfunnet anerkjente Eritrea som en selvstendig nasjon. Her kommer det fram at minst 10.000 mennesker er fengslet av politiske grunner, blant dem den svensk-eritreiske journalisten Dawit Isaak som ble pågrepet i 2001.

Rapporten «Twenty years of independence, but still no freedom» beskriver i detalj hvordan regimekritikere, journalister, religiøse minoriteter, desertører og personer som har unndratt seg militærtjeneste, personer som forsøker å flykte fra landet, samt returnerte asylsøkere, blir arrestert og fengslet uten tiltale.

- Under president Isaias Afewerki, som har styrt de siste 20 årene, har situasjonen gått fra vondt til verre for store deler av den eritreiske befolkningen. Det er skremmende å se hvordan han har greid å bygge opp et system der ingen kan føle seg trygge. De fleste lever i frykt for politisk forfølgelse, vilkårlig fengsling og tortur, sier Gerald Kador Folkvord, rådgiver i Amnesty International i Norge.

World Report 2014: Eritrea

Eritrea is among the most closed countries in the world; human rights conditions remain dismal. Indefinite military service, torture, arbitrary detention, and severe restrictions on freedoms of expression, association, and religion provoke thousands of Eritreans to flee the country each month. Among those fleeing in 2013 were the minister of information—whose 85-year-old father, brother, and 15-year-old daughter were immediately arrested—and the deputy head of economic affairs of the People’s Front for Democracy and Justice (PFDJ), Eritrea’s sole political party that controls most major domestic commercial enterprises.

In October, more than 300 Eritrean refugees drowned when a boat bringing them to Europe capsized near Lampedusa, Italy. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), over 305,000 Eritreans (more than 5 percent of the population) have fled during the past decade.

It’s 2 Years since EPDP Leadership Member M. Ali Ibrahim Disappeared in Kassala, Sudan

EPDP Information Office

It is again the 14^th of February, and a time to sorrowfully remember the second anniversary of the disappearance in Kassala, Sudan, of the life-time freedom fighter Mohammed Ali Ibrahim,

a member of the Central Council of the Eritrean People’s Democratic Party (EPDP). The primary suspect is none other than the criminal regime in Asmara.

His Party colleagues as well as his wife Halima and his two sons, Majid and Nassir, have no news about his whereabouts in the past 730 days since 14 February 2012.

Mohammed Ali Ibrahim has left his home in the morning hours of that fateful date and was never seen again. However, there were two clues about his being kidnapped by forces of darkness. About the time of his disappearance, a vehicle without a plate number and with opaque windows was apprehended inside Kassala and was seen driving towards the road that leads to the victims residence zone. Another clue was a phone call using Mohammed Ali’s cell-phone and telling his friend that Mohammed Ali is not going to be traced easily.

The Sudanese security office in Kassala was urged to help but nothing came out of it. Also both President .Omar al-Bashir of the Sudan and the then Prime Minister

January 21, 2014 marks the 1^st year anniversary of army revolt against the repressive regime of Issais. On January 21, 2013 a group from the Eritrean Defense Forces led by Col. Salih Ali Hijay (Wodi Ali) stormed the Ministry of Information.

 In a defiant statement over the Eri-TV broadcast, the group called for the release of all prisoners, implementation of the constitution, and the resignation of Issais Afeworki from power.

The revolt was against the last two decades of atrocities, injustice, violence, and total lack of freedom in Eritrea. EPDP sees this day as a significant anniversary in the struggle for democracy and justice in our country.

A successful Eritrean Exhibition in Vadsø, Norway

News and information section of Eritrean People Democratic Party, (EPDP) Norway branch

An inclusive Eritrean pictorial exhibition was conducted in Vadsø town located in Northern part of Norway in November 26 -29 /2013. This exhibition was organized mainly by members of Eritrean Peoples’ Democratic Party (EPDP), Mr Issayas Yirgaw Hagos, Mss Senait Samuel, and their assistants Mr Gezae Mekonen and others. Contextually, the exhibition was rich and overly attractive. Mr Issayas Hagos, the core element of the group had collected more than 90 various pictures that portrait the social and economic aspects of every Eritrean ethnic group, the irresponsible political administration of President Issaias Afewerki, the human and state catastrophe in the last two decades.

During the four days exhibition, youth Issayas, together with his assistant, and Gezai gave detailed  and thorough explanation to the visitors concerning the suffering endured by the Eritrean People due to the unbearable human rights transgression by the dictatorial regime. The preparatory group further gave a directive as to what measures shall be taken by the international community in general and by the people and government of Norway in particular in order to oust the dictatorial regime and its evil functions. In addition, Mr Issayas gave a deep explanation with regard to the absence of free and dem
