Why Is Eritrea Demonized By the West?
www.youtube.com
Eritrea is the most demonized and sanctioned African country. Why? It's not human rights abuses because there are far worse governments the U.S. supports. Er...

im sure you guys follow people who recently started to mindlessly drool over the tweets from bad actors like simon tesfamariam also.

the whole imperialist angle is dogshit too. 18 months ago ethiopia was a western darling since they privatized the economy and detatched from the massively pro-china tplf. there is no imperialist onslaught here. also, eritrea under afwerki have invaded all their neighbours and hosted military bases for UAE in their genocidal war on the zaidis. yeah, they're fucking buried in the sanction scheme. guess what? when you keep your soldiers as slaves and refuse to even pretend to hold elections for 20 years, you will get sanctioned without any ulterior motives. also somewhat bizarre to hear Puryear try to mention development metrics that are better than some warzone countries in central africa when eritrea on the other hand have the lowest information infrastructure in the world (probably intentionally so).

      simon tesfamariam is a bad actor tied to the state: https://medium.com/dfrlab/eritrean-report-uses-fact-checking-tropes-to-dismiss-evidence-as-disinformation-385718327481

      im not sure if anyone in the tankosphere have written critique on eritrea.. have to consider mainstream sources

      a pretty big diasporic site uphold the state dep version, not sure how much is bs but worth a read i guess? alot of this is common knowledge you'd find elsewhere as well...: https://www.asmarino.com/press-releases/1728-eritrea-human-rights-report-2012d

        https://dataviz.yiqinfu.com/unview/ is pretty neat, very funny how western countries votes (Especially U.S and Israel) have very low agreement with non-western countries.
