Responding to a question on his country’s efforts in becoming part of the Arab League, Saleh said the Eritrean leadership would look into joining the pan-Arab body should such steps fulfill the interests of the nation and the Eritrean people.

Malabo – Eritrea’s Foreign Affairs Minister Osman Ahmed Saleh stressed the importance of Afro-Arab partnership in protecting the region from foreign interference, which he said works to implement its own agendas and has caused the wave of terrorism to spread across the world.

In an interview with Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper, Saleh said that the Afro-Arab coalition was determined to call for reforms in the United Nations and the Security Council, stressing the need to dedicate two UNSC permanent seats to Arab and African states.

Commenting on Iran’s continuous interference in Arab and African states’ internal affairs, the Eritrean foreign affairs minister said that his country was calling on Tehran to stop such interventions and stressed the important and solid ties with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Asked about the crisis in Yemen, Saleh said: “Eritrea supports Saudi Arabia and works with the Kingdom within the framework of the anti-Houthi alliance,” adding that both countries were looking towards the achievement of peace and stability in war-torn Yemen.

Responding to a question on his country’s efforts in becoming part of the Arab League, Saleh said the Eritrean leadership would look into joining the pan-Arab body should such steps fulfill the interests of the nation and the Eritrean people.

The Eritrean foreign affairs minister said that the security and stability of the Red Sea region falls within the responsibility of neighboring Arab and African states, calling on the concerned countries to work within a strategic partnership to strengthen the region’s economy and diversify its investment and trade opportunities.

“Afro-Arab partnership is highly important,” he said.

“Eight Arab countries are located in the African continent; consequently, cooperation between Arab and African countries will achieve security and stability because we are all tired of foreign interference by Europe and the United States,” Saleh added.

    Just read his comments about Iran, supporting the Wahabi al Saud Arabian savages. This is not new from long rotten elite Gedli leadership and their Abid mentality who will do anything to live by bending to the Arabs and burning Eritrean languages and heritage.
    See below the video of an innocent Eritrean under Arab slavery or Abeedism; this is how the Arabs show their “love” to Eritreans and our dignity:

      There are more than 200,000 young ladies from Ethiopia working in rich Gulf States as domestic workers. Thanks to them and to those who give them employment opportunities, many poor families, mostly from rural Ethiopia, now can send their kids to schools. Although in recent years Ethiopia has done relatively well economically, traditionally, the country is known for its extreme poverty.
      Poverty is a fertile ground for a lot of social ills, and due to that begging and prostitution are mostly tolerated.
      Teclay and a few like him who want associate Arabs and Islam with slavery, are living a lot far from today’s Ethiopia. That country is changing very fast, and fortunately for the better. The hegemonic culture of Amhara supremacists, who still call any Oromo who speaks for his/her own right ‘Zeregna’ is now going to be a thing of the past. The Oromo in near future want Ethiopia to look as diverse as its people. The Ethiopian flag which does not represent their values will be changed, else they have their own. Ethiopia is not a Habeshaland any more, the non-Habesha are the majority. It’s not even a Christian nation anymore, that thing has become history forever. Now it’s a secular nation, were all religions are treated equally. Ethiopian Muslims have opened their eyes wide, they have come to know that they are not a minority so they deserve equal share in everything, in particular in government bureaucracy at federal level. All these and many more issues will make Ethiopia a country that lives in peace internally and puts an end to its jingoist policy of Habesha ruling classes.
      Tecly may be knows all that but he is frustrated, so he want Pan-Habesha State in the north. I say to him take Issu the mass murderer with you and get lost.

      • Selam November 21, 2016

        You’ve turned into a wolf in sheep’s skin and picks a fight with those people who are fighting tooth and nail to remove the dictator and the evil culture of ghedli. Apart from representing the Muslim Arab world and Ethiopia’s Muslims, what else are you really fighting for from assenna website?
        Sadly, you’ve sank too deep into the swamp of garbage politics. Your fanatic muslim hatred towards the people of Tigray and Ethiopia is showing poorly. They must have expelled you from their country for you to repeat these nonsense and to keep holding this much bitterness and resentment.
        Your kind of dull parrots won’t do any good or harm, whatever side they are. So, we will let you parrot on Ethiopians this Ethiopians that nonsense. I am sure Ato Teklay must have sensed that this toothless muslim parrot is not of his caliber; I can see that he is simply trying to help himself spark an imaginative existence that is different than parroting his Islam. Please keep ignoring this muslim weirdo.

          “Your fanatic muslim hatred towards the people of Tigray and Ethiopia is showing poorly. ”

          Selam

          Can you show me were in my post what I said is against the people of Tigray and Ethiopia ?

          Replay to it point by point if you have a winning argument.
          If you think Ethiopia is still a country where Habeshas rule over others, as has been the case all along, that reality has changed a lot. You can’t do that anymore, so stop dreaming it. I know it’s painful to you, but you need to live with it.
          An indication of the changing times in Ethiopia is what is happening now: The Weyane and its allies, chose to reform the system instead of continuing to kill innocent Oromos and the Amharas. It is the right thing to do.
          They realized that they can’t rule with fist without pushing the whole country to a slippery slope.
          They will continue to accept ‘others’ as equal partners and put an end to the supremacist ideology that some of you feel great about it.
          Welcome to new Ethiopia !!

      • Mengistu November 22, 2016

        Even ISIS has included Eritrea, Sudan, South Sudan, Chad, part of Libya, Nigeria, Niger, Mali, Benin, and Togo as the “Land of HAbesh” and here you are Denkoro Shaebya who would love to tell the Oromos and Gurages, Hadiyas that they are not Habesha. It is time for Djibouti, Somaliland, Federal republic of Somalia and Sudan to quit the Areb league because they are Habesha by Origin and has nothing to do with the Areb ethnic. They are moslems but not Arebs. So you stupid Shaebyas are life time Areb Ass leakers!, even though the Arebs count you to nothing. what self disrespecting tragedy?

        • PH November 22, 2016

          You must include Indians, pakistans and Bangladesh ect. Don’t worry! All semi black and white are all habesha. Aye tsiwtsway! Any way, good dream.

  • andom November 21, 2016

    U can run but u can not hide. Isolated by eritrean people and the free world that advance democracy, they have no choice but to rub their shoulder with their likes. Birds with the same feather fly togethr as they say. If they choose to go that way instead of apologising and asking the people for forgiveness, we will trash them for we have nothing in common with arabs. We are africans and we remain to be so. Iran has never interferred in eritrean afairs. So there should be no reason to blindly jump and interfere in yemenis internal affairs. This is very outragous and a red line for eritreans. We prefer to unite with ethiopia than try to create a new identity by joining arab leage. Arab are our neigbours and respect their sovernighty.

    • Selam November 22, 2016

      Andom, why can’t you see that the Arabs are paying Esayas to empty Eritrea by forcing the Christians (deki Kebessa) out and keeping the Muslims safely to take over from him eventually in Eritrea? You don’t deserve to remain blind to a glaring reality! I do believe the poor Christians are fleeing in droves than the Muslims and you should be asking why if you are a true concerned Eritrean. The big and urgent question should be why is it the Tigrignas (Christians) number of Eritreans fleeing and not returning to Eritrea is quite significantly higher that that of Muslims? Don’t you think the Arabs have a hidden Islamic agenda in Eritrea with their paid agents like DIA and that toothless muslim parrot by the parrot name of wedi hagher?

  • Simon G. November 22, 2016

    I tell you that I grew up.with my Saho friends and relatives, and this guy is not behaving as one. I know.my Saho are very proud people and this fool is not acting as one.
    What’s wrong with this guy? Please, act as your proud people.

    • Bereket T. November 22, 2016

      Simonino.G
      What’s wrong with your Moslem Saho friends and relatives is quite clear to all of us the intelligent outsiders that is outside your Akeleguzay. Your Saho Moslems just like yourself have not been reading the “Akeleguzay books” properly nor have they been taking the special green plants of Akeleguzay sufficiently!!!! I keep reminding you that my Anseba “dongolatat” are far more smarter and intelligent than your hopeless ‘friends and relatives’.
      Indeed, they say imitation is the best form of flattery. In the case of Eritrea, we might say it is the best confirmation that what Eritrea is doing is right!!
      My reading of history (not from Akeleguzay books though!!) tells me we need to reflect on our past and prepare a better future for our kids. Towards that goal, I am ready to do my part.

      • Anti-DIA November 22, 2016

        “my Anseba “dongolatat” are far more smarter and intelligent than your hopeless ‘friends and relatives’.”

        Bereket T.

        The “dongolatat” are known to be mostly nice people, although the Asmarinos used to tell a lot of bad jokes about them, portraying them as harmless stupids.
        But what do you say about ‘they’ being the most trusted group by the fascist Iseyas ?, does that make them more smart than those ‘Akele’ who are fighting the rootless Tigreyan bastard.

        • Bereket T. November 22, 2016

          You’ve already been exposed as the biggest talkative coward hypocrite with deceiving multiple pen-names such as Weid Hagher (more like Wedi Islam Arab), Sol, Mohammed, Khalid, some odd Tigrigna names and your latest one Anti-DIA. In order for me and others to take you seriously just stick to one nick if you can as it must be hard for an old muslim crock to act normal. They truly say you can’t teach new tricks to the old wicked dog as it already knows all the cheating old tricks. Get real.
          Make sure you use your old “ShiTaratat” when you go back to your Arab countries like the Sudan, Libya, Yemen or Somalia to visit your Arab families and friends. To your childish question of fascist Isaias I would answer it by asking you the same question of ‘what would you say about youreslf and other muslims being the most trusted group by your fascist Arabs? It doesn’t make you more or part Eritrean when you are fighting for your bastard muslim Arab pigs against Eritrea and Eritreans.

          • Anti-DIA November 22, 2016

            You see, you are good only at insults, You can’t handle an argument and win an win it by discussing issues that matter.
            Stop insulting and learn to argue presenting facts.
            You seem to be a real ‘dongola’ .

      • AHMED SALEH !!! November 22, 2016

        Simon G.
        It is better to remain silent than respond to stupidity . Fools have peculiar quality which is to look for faults of others , complain , condemn or criticize and that helps them to forget their own faults .

        • Simon G. November 22, 2016

          Appreciate your advise, brother Ahmed!

  • k.tewolde November 22, 2016

    This argument between Selam and Andom blows my mind,if there is a prudent arbitrator, what would you make out of it,one is saying’we don’t belong to the Arab league’ the other one agonizes over the mass exodus of the highlander thereby giving edge to their Muslim counterparts and blames the tyrant who not too long ago swept an entire armed nationalist organization labeling it as a pan Arab squad.By the way for those who are feeling uneasy of the demographic shift today,I wonder how you would have felt during the 60’s and 70″s when your brothers and sisters in the lowlands where being incinerated by napalm bombs,villages being mowed by tanks,and women’s breasts being chopped by bayonets and a big chunk of the population was transplanted across the border? What kind of Eritrea are we trying to build?Is this the way to bring together the people who fought hand in hand to liberate their homeland? That “Eritrean Riddle” resonates again..

  • Z, Hagos November 22, 2016

    Eritrea was not a member of the Sanaa Cooperation Forum, member countries of which comprised of Sudan, Ethiopia, Yemen including Djibouti and Somalia. Because this cooperation was committed to fighting terrorism and the region’s destabilization, Isayas didn’t like it and refused to be a member of it.
    ..
    Now, let’s talk about African Union, Arab League and Sanaa Cooperation Forum. According to Isayas, there are two Arab Leagues. One supported by him and the Arab Gulf countries and the other Arab League is the one that supports Sanaa Cooperation and African Union and is considered a threat to him and the Arab Gulf countries.
    ..
    Sanaa Cooperation Forum and the other Arab League (of Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Sudan, Djibouti and Somalia) are dead now killed and overtaken by the Arab Gulf countries. So, what Arab League this minister of the tyrant is speaking about? If he should speak about, it is only the African Union left, where the Arabs of Africa are really represented in.

  • Teclay November 22, 2016

    Not surprising but irrelevant !
    Not surprising —Yes, why did the Jehadi war start ?? It is not a secret ,it started to terrorize and destroy the historical enemy Abyssinia ,sponsored by Egypt ,Saudi etc. ex,the killings and burnings of Quhayin -Denbelas ,Anseba ,Kunama villages and farmers ,the hijacking of civilian Ethiopian airlines jet to the terror land Pakistan and many more other examples …Is it clear ??? Why did so many students including the Drs join then ??? = a one -word answer = IDIOTISM ::::
    Irrelevant —-The made-in fascist Italia called Eritrea has just finished its lifespan(25 shameful years ) …..From now on ,it is the begging of the new era;
    1,,Rush unification with our Tigray brothers…..without any referendum ,just like the wise Germans did ,and establish one strong Kifle-Hager called Bahre-Negash.
    2,,,Automatically join,our historical country called Abyssinia and back our dignity .

    • PH November 22, 2016

      You are telling us to join Tigray KILIL with out referendum right? You also put an example the unity of great Germany compering it with “great Abissina ” in fact non existing state unlike Germany. however, any free country has un deniable right to join or separate .but what DIA does is wrong because at this time we have no power of say. In the day after having legitimate popular power we will make referendum to join Arab hood which i saport it

        Behind the pan-Habesha propaganda here, there are a few Tigreyans born in Eritrea who are suffering from identity crisis.
        They want a Habesha nation, made mostly of Tigrigna on both sides of Mereb.
        What about the other Habesha, the Amhara in particular ?, well, the recent protests in Ethiopia has shown that the two groups cannot live together without one trying to dominate the other.
        Ordinary Eritrean Habesha I know, think they can share culture, but not politics with Tigray other than good neighborliness once the border is demarcated.
        Eritrean nationalism is very strong among them. Besides, Higdefs leaders (many of whom happen to be of Tigreyan decent) are a good example of what these people can do to marginalize them. The plight of Tigreyan Muslims is horrible, they cannot even open their mouth on any issue that concerns them. This doesn’t mean other Tigreyans are enjoying democracy, far from it, Although the Weyanes are better than Higdef in many ways, but when it comes to politics they are as cruel as their comrades in Asmara. If you disagree with them you can survive only if you go to Addis, where there is a bit of freedom, because there they cannot everybody’s mouth shut. I think this pan-Habesha nation, if it had any chance to see light of the day, it would not be better than Iseyas’ Eritrea, at war with nation of the Horn.
        ‘Adxinene min kullu ukuy’, as WW used to say, may his soul rest in peace.

          Tragic with all the fantasy and half truths you keep coming up but you are addicted to telling lies and muslim fiction stories. Have you studied all your muslim lunatic in your Jihad Arab schools and are you now trying to practice it in a civilized western world under different nationality and disguises to cause your normal maximum damages on innocents?
          My one and simple question to you would be according to your advocate k.tewolde your desert nomad garbage women’s breasts were being chopped by bayonets!! If this was the case then you must have been breast fed by your desert dogs or camels to become so wild half animals and half beasts roaming everywhere like you still in your shanty filthy deserts. You are totally contaminated beyond redemption. Now that you’ve asked for it I would be arguing with you in your moslem dog’s language with or with your types desert filthy moslem dogs.

            Your mind contains only insults, nothing else.
            If you have a issue you want defend put it on the table and start talking about it. But because you have a hollow mind, you cannot argue with logic.
            Keep barking like a dog.

    Whatever a man sows , that will also reap .
    And those who promote for hatred and division all the past years will live according the results of their
    actions , Since we Eritreans do not focus that much at negative tendencies based in religion , region or
    race , we observe suspicious commentators attempt to deviate our attention into their agenda .
    Remember the same people were strong supporters of WEYANE to use military force against Eritrea

    As far as I can remember, Eritrea never had any religion difference problems. You can’t even tell if the person is a Christian or a Muslim in most cases (unless dressed for Church or Mosque). Why do we see so many invented stories at this forum lately?
    Or these nonsense comments are mostly from one or two disgruntled individual(s). Just saying.

      I doubt there could be many genuine Eritreans with this mindset other than a few Higdef agents who want divert issues so that Eritreans do not reach a consensus to act against the brute and his gangs.

    The Jebha -Shaebia gangs are so worthless, they will leak anything Arabic and bend for any Arab for zero gain or no diplomatic or economic aid from the Arab.
    One wrote before: an Arab comes to your house to burn your language, identity and religion, then to enslave you and steal your organs and own your mother, sister and daughter.
    Look the Arab appologists and Abid slaves above.
