An Eritrean opposition party official has been missing for two days in eastern Sudan and there are fears he may have been kidnapped by Asmara’s security agents, the party alleged on Thursday.

Mohammed Ali Ibrahim, a member of the People’s Democratic Party central council, left his house in Kassala town at 8:00 am (0500 GMT) on Tuesday and has not been seen since, the party said in a statement emailed to AFP.

Sudanese police and the Kassala hospitals had no word on him, it said.

“The big fear prevailing in Kassala is that he might have been kidnapped by security agents of the Eritrean regime, who enjoy free mobility in the region,” it said.

Eastern Sudan is home to tens of thousands of ethnic Eritreans.

The United Nations refugee agency in Sudan says about 2,000 asylum-seekers, mostly Eritrean, cross the border monthly, many to escape the Asmara regime’s compulsory military service.

There are around 80,000 people living in refugee camps near the border, some of whom began fleeing to Sudan four decades ago during their country’s independence war with Ethiopia.AFP

    No body is responsible for the person who clam him self as an opposition party. He might be a gang. Gangster should be destroyed from all around the world. May be he commit some thing illegal in Sudan. Do not bother about him. If you care about him may be you as well a cooperative of him. So that tomorrow could be your turn. But Eritrea and the people of Eritrea including our brave leaders no way to involve in this trash behaviour.

      Many Eritrean politicians had disappeared or assasinated inside Sudan. Because of the
      huge communities of Eritreans, many of them settle in Kassala. At this moment
      the place is getting dangerous not only from HGDF security agents but also from the
      corrupt administration of that region. They all work together in cooperation for their
      only self interest. The only safe heaven to those targeted Eritreans is crossing to Ethiopia. They might call me woyane but who cares if I didn’t see any harm inflicted
      toward them, they are our Eritrean brothers period. All these years kidnappings and
      assassinating Eritrean dissents to silence them is totally wrong, No-one can take our right of freedom of speech.

        Ahmed Saleho get your facts straight. I Don’t know what the hell you are smoking those days. The Eritrean government don’t waste their time with old men don’t have any hope who living all his life in Kassala. If the Eritrean government was interested into this old man they would snaped his Ass long time ago so, please don’t put the ERitrean government into those nonsense dirty work. But I love to make to you clear like i did before, If you ask about the jihadits terrorirsts who you support ofcourse they would be killed and kidnaped from Kassala. So, go head and do your home-work Lousy man.

          No wonder to sell your own vulnerable innocent youngs who lean for help to end up sold as animals for stupid money.

    Eritrea is Heaven for Eritrean nationals while Hell hole for her enemies. Eritrea is our safeties land to rest on her. Eritrea is our ever last destiny in life. Do not tell me your rubbish history. My mind is not willing to hear ‘ AGAME’S’ propaganda. Go and stay in line with Meles to fulfil a dream of ADWA. ERITREA IS IN THE HAND OF OUR GOD THOROUGH THE LEADER SHIP OF ‘PIA’
