    The UK went poletical correction mad.
    This person has the right to his money and as long as hi did not stole these money, why did the size him.? this is totally unacceptable.

    these people questionig this victimsed man should be accountable for his time and that of all the trouble they have create to this innocent man.
    even he pass billions, as long as he prove that he found it through work, no one has the right to question him. I feel very disappoint that, these authorties has interfered in his indvidual rights.
    what we eritrean need to do now is, demonstrate against those so-called aimmigration authorities. we can not just see while our brother is victimzed by these stupid authorities.
    we can not su

      if he is not a bookie for the pfdj, i am sure they will give him back. Now let’s reverse the countries, say this guy was caught taking money out of eritrea and he can prove it is his, would you be as outraged or do what the regime supporters do when justice bites them on the butt. Say some crap like “the law in eritrea is different…”.

      By the way, all the dummy has to do was declare it – assuming it is his – and he wouldn’t have to go thru the indignation. But if he is a pfdj book runner, this is justice…tiny one but justice nonetheless. What the pfdj and thier mouthpieces forget is that other countries have laws and the eternal rebels and thier dummies have to follow them.

        right now, whether this person has a pfdj or other, it is not right to stop him.
        If these authorties want to stop money lowndrying to Eritrea. it is the Eritrean Embassiy that first should be stoped. This man is indevidual person who should have received these money from different people who want to give for their families. so far he did not done any bad to this country.
        The UK has the right to stop money, but by which law! if these money was going to pfdj, this is not the method to stop it in airport. It is in the emmbasiy must be questioned. This is quit airport piracy but, in the other hand, these authorities will not take these money. At leaset there is law in this country, it might take time for him but it will return to him.
        He should stop saying christian or Hindu,

      I feel sorry for him to go through all that unpleasant journey if the money is
      legitimate. But we should take a lesson not to repeat the same mistake. Anytime
      of travel with a big amount of the money have your proof on hand, like bank receipt
      or other essential documents.

      The officer was completely justified in seizing the money ,also refer to (EC) No 1889/2005. http://ec.europa.eu/eucashcontrols

      All travellers entering or leaving the EU with € 10 000 or more in cash must
      declare the sum to Customs in order to comply with European Regulation
      (EC) No 1889/2005 in force since 15 June 2007.

      you are right. but you have to follow one countries laws and regulations. these officers are doing their job and they are asking him to provide them evidence that the money belongs to him. for sure they will give him back the money as soon as he provides them the required evidence. if not the guy will never see the money again.

    • concerned Eeritreawi December 19, 2011

      There is such thing called rule of law. I am not sure the rules in the UK but in the US there is a limit on how much one can carry. Even if you are the right full owner of the money you cannot carry case with more than the limit. The problem with your comments is just because the money could be his, but that does not mean he has to carry more the the law allowed and the authority have the right to question anyone they think is a suspect or such thing. He at least will be treated with respect until found guilt. You want to demonstrate you have that right too, but make sure you have a permit to do so.

  • Selamawi December 18, 2011

    Firsltly I am sorry for the man to hve gone thought all of this.

    The question is why did he decide to take sterlin money to Eritrea. I thought they use Nakfa there.

    Anyways good luck to him, and hope he is not another PFDJ foot soldier who calims to be ‘a Christian man”. PFDJ is not Christian, it is unti-Christian.
    If he is one, let him have Merry Christmas, poor mna!

  • habrom koreda December 18, 2011

  • Kemal December 18, 2011

    i don’t think they singled him out, that is the law of the land to control. He should learn the law before carrying that big cash. The only thing i can say is he should educate him self and play his game safe. Ignorance hurts…….

  • Jemal December 18, 2011

    Well ; I think he is lucky it’s been seizured by the governement who can take a look at his case less than 24hrs. and also by the governement who has rule and regulation yet if the money brought it legitimate he is going to get it .But in terms of using his belief to free his money noooooooooooooo doesn’t work body ; and i hope he doesn’t have that backword kind of mentality back home to accomplish his wish . Any way he is lucky that the money didn’t seizure by HGDEF it would have been use for a couple of beers to the self claim and irresponsable Eritrean generals .

  • Hagerawi December 18, 2011

    If all the money in different posts (quxar mexar) seem like a worst smuggler system. If it is that of the dictators money, I say Halyliyua.. there starts the rope… If it is his, poor guy, he should learn to speak good english before working a taxi driver, that way he can easily defend himself, rather than working taxi driver… I wonder what he says to his clients… hahahahaah.. poor guy.. I wish him Merry x-mas anyway with his quxar mexar money

  • Weldit December 18, 2011

    Poor guy. He first said he has 10K, then he changed it to 15K. He also said he withdrew it from the bank, but there is no proof of that.
    It looks like he didn’t know the process or the procedure but those who are quick to link him to the PFDJ are wrong. It could happen to any of us if we don’t know how things work or what the rules are.

    • Logic December 19, 2011

      Weldit this is a response to you, how can you claim he is not a PFDJ agent? Did you take a good look at his statements? He doesn’t know the amount of money he is carrying with him to an INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT (first he says 10k then 15k). Let me tell you, if i travel, i am sure every single dime i have on me, unless i am carrying money for someone else.

      If he was carrying money for someone else, it would have been in a sealed envelope with the name and number on it; however what you see here is sloppy wrapped in unmarked paper and he was trying to hide some of the money, with no receipt.

      This type of suspicious activity can only be linked to the PFDJ regime who are desperate for foreign currency, as the economy is collapsing.

  • Jemal December 18, 2011

    The way i’ve seen the guy with the confidence with his money to get to Eritrea i think he is one of HGDEF planning to buy another extra mechinery heading to barka .I could be wrong ;But how come some one with that kind of cash wants sleep through ; Doesn’t he knows the law. if not i am sorry for the guy.

  • Mr. T December 18, 2011

    It is really disgusting to see people here are already prejudging the guy as a PFDJ agent. Ask yourself how many Eritreans in the western countries work as taxi drivers. Whether they live in London, England, or New York, the USA, the majority of Eritreans are hard working taxi drivers. Taxi driving may not be their best job, but they do it best. They don’t get a weekly pay check; they get cash for the services they provide. They may put their money in the bank or put it at home. It is a matter of choice. If the guy had all that money in cash stored at home, there is no way he can provide any written evidence besides his work. However, it would be interesting to know what the law of the land says about storing one’s earned cash at home. Stop all the filthy insinuations. When the guy says he is a Christian, what he meant is probably he follows the good messages of the Holy Bible: don’t steal, don’t kill, and so forth. Let the law of the land do its due diligence whether the guy is an innocent or a crook. When are these little midgets on the opposition side going to mature? He is an Eritrean and you should have been helping the guy from his ordeals. msakatukumsi eza eritra khalfela.

    • g yosef December 18, 2011

      Eithrer way this guy made a big mistake before he carry that much cash he should know the law .That is one point another thing that we do not know ,but asuming is whay is he carring that much cash to eritrea at the time where all eyes is at the eritrean regime? .So all his jugments was not smart ,but with out knowing all the evidence all we can say at this time

    • Logic December 19, 2011

      How can a taxi driver, who can’t even speak good english, make 15,000 British Pounds without even having one receipt?

      Why didn’t the man claim his money to Customs before traveling?

      Something to hide?

  • J AbHarish December 18, 2011

    I strongly believe the guy is a pfdj thug smuggling cash extorted from Eritreans in the UK in the form of 2 percent, sdra swuat, etc.
    The guy is caught red handed.

    Does anyone know his name?

    Our role must be to identify such thugs and inform local authorities.
