Eritrea’s Afewerki to visit Khartoum on Thursday

May 6, 2014 (KHARTOUM) – The Eritrean president, Isaias Afewerki, will arrive in Khartoum on Thursday to hold talks with his Sudanese counterpart, Omer Hassan Al-Bashir, to discuss bilateral ties and means for furthering cooperation

May 6, 2014 (KHARTOUM) – The Eritrean president, Isaias Afewerki, will arrive in Khartoum on Thursday to hold talks with his Sudanese counterpart, Omer Hassan Al-Bashir, to discuss bilateral ties and means for furthering cooperation between the two countries.

Sudan’s National Intelligence and Security Services(NISS) director, Mohamed Atta, travelled to Asmara on a one-day secret visit on Tuesday.

Informed sources told the pro-government al-Rayaamdaily newspaper on Tuesday, that Afewerki will be accompanied by several ministers and advisors.

The same sources stressed that a summit between the two presidents will be followed by a ministerial meeting to discuss bilateral relations besides regional and international issues of common concern.

It added that Afewerki’s program of work would include field visits to several projects and large enterprises on top of which is Al-Gaili oil refinery.

Last April, Bashir disclosed during a visit to Sudan’s eastern state of Kassala intends to establish a joint Sudanese-Eritrean force to combat human trafficking and smuggling.

He said that Khartoum would provide Asmara with its fuel needs in order to curb smuggling, underscoring existence of a high level of security coordination between the two countries to control borders and achieve security and stability.

Bashir also called upon the government of Kassala state to carry out its responsibilities in order to achieve the required living standard for the residents along the borders.

The head of neighboring countries’ department at the foreign ministry, Ibrahim Bushra, described ties between Sudan and Eritrea as good, pointing to the repeated mutual visits of the two leaders.

He said that Bashir emphasised Sudan’s relations with Ethiopia do not come at the expense of its ties with any country, in reference to Khartoum’s relations with Asmara.

Bushra added that Bashir had in the past offered to mediate between Eritrea and Ethiopia in order to clear the atmosphere between the two neighboring countries.

He further stressed that Sudan supports the regional campaign led by Eritrea to lift the sanctions imposed upon it by the United States, saying that Sudan suffers from similar sanctions.

Eritrea became an independent state in 1991 after a bloody war of independence with Ethiopia. The two countries fought a border war in 1998-2000 that has killed an estimated 70,000 people.

The two East African adversaries remain at loggerheads since the disputed key town of Badme had been awarded to Eritrea by an international border commission.

    From all the countries in the world, Wedi Berad visits often Sudan that is fragile, isolated and a country ready to explode. From all leaders, he visits a lame and cripple Beshir who is indicted by ICC. Beshir with many titles such as Field Marshal can’t leave his country either. Two broken dictators meet as if they are trying to solve the problem of their people. The sad thing is that Sudan is becoming a referral hospital for Eritreans!! HGDEF is using Sudan for smuggling weapons, human trafficking, and others crimes using criminals like Teklay Negis.

    This is really low for Wedi Berad’s Eritrea in terms of diplomacy! NO WORLD PRESIDENT WANT TO SEE DICTATOR ISAIAS AFWERKI only criminal BESHIR!!!!

    Few years back they were barking as a mod dog each other and doing every thing possible to throw heavy stone as the most enemy ever. Now they are trying to tell us they are the best friends. Is it that to save their power grip for longer time or is it for the benefit of two good neighboring people. Over all, it was wise to solve their internal problems first and then they could extend their relation ship with any neighboring country and the rest of the world. It is good to retire from your crook politics and have your coffee shop what ever you call it sort of dirty friendship that before too late for the worst to come to you from both side. Your time is up guys thank you for listening.

    IF THERE IS GIFA ANYWHERE REMEMBER HE MUST BE COMING

    IN ERITREA WHENEVER HE COMES TO ASMARA THERE WAS GIFA AND SAME IS TRUE IN SUDAN, THERE WAS GIFA AND NO DOUBT WHO IS COMING

    SUDAN IS A COUNTRY WITH NO RULE OF LAW AND THE AUTHORITIES HAVE NO POWER AS FAR AS YOU CAN PUMP MONEY TO ANYONE WHO IS HUNGRY OF MONEY.
    BUT THERE WILL BE TIME

    BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER. “Arki Sebar Nekae”.

    It is surprising the Sudanese Have not yet Learned from their Previous Accusers. We have heard a lot about Fundamentalism, Hamushai Mesrei. Now Sudan is the Best friend for Eritrean DIA. I wonder what the tegadelti, their Generals are waiting for.

    “He said that Khartoum would provide Asmara with its fuel needs in order to curb smuggling, underscoring existence of a high level of security coordination between the two countries to control borders and achieve security and stability.”

    —————-

    Sudan accuses Eritrea that it’s behind smuggling government subsidized consumer goods and petrol, causing shortage in the market. There is a huge network of smugglers in Easter Sudan controlled by Higdef and it’s spies. All attempts to stop them so far failed, because those who should keep a good eye on such activities are bribed and corrupt.

    Birds of the same feather always flock together,sounds familiar?Yeah,where else could they possibly go when both terrorists and losers down size their world.Regardless of their atrocities though they still hold on to power with no organized opposition and that is the saddest part.Having said that though,comparing the mistreatment that our poor people are going through everyday under the shiftas and their leader with what Sudanese deal with,Al-bashir is a saint.
    Imagine,it has been 23 years of cruelty,terror,never ending slavery,abuse,execution,arbitrary arrest,disappearances and rape but sadly we still fail to organize our selves to fight the enemy head on.

      you said “Birds of the same feather always flock together,sounds familiar?Yeah,where else could they possibly go when both terrorists and losers down size their world.Regardless of their atrocities though they still hold on to power with no organized opposition and that is the saddest part”
      All what you said is right nothing to add but you forget one thing,it seems you surprised by not having an organized opposition. For get it, there will not be an organized opposition.why?
      -Resource : human and material,the Eritrean ppl have been asked too much.And all this was from 3 or 4 mill ppl
      -Distrust: in short let me put it in this way ” fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.”
      -Wrong cause:the majority deep in side admitted, it was as a whole a wrong Ghedli.

        Stop it damn .. rootless

        It sounds a compelling argument to me.No wonder then there is NO RESISTANCE AT ALL no matter how much the regime brutalized and abused our people.I couldn’t come across any country or people that can put up the immeasurable and unimaginable atrocities our people are facing everyday under the people that call them our own.History will only describe as THE MOST EMASCULATED PEOPLE in the world.Its just sad to say the least.
