Sudan’s president due in Kassala amid protests

October 25, 2011 (KHARTOUM) – Sudan’s president Omer Hassan Al-Bashir and his Eritrean counterpart, Isaias Afewerki will today inaugurate a road linking their neighboring countries in the presence of the Qatari Emir Hamad Bin-Khalifah al-Thani.
The trio is due to meet in Sudan’s eastern state of Kassala where they will hold a summit and inaugurate a number of development projects.
According to Sudan’s official news agency (SUNA), Al-Bashir and his guests will inaugurate a road linking Kassala with Al-Laffah border area of Eritrea.
SUNA reported that the 26 kilometers road was financed by Qatar at a cost of $9 million.
The minister of culture and tourism in Kassala, Amira Musa, said that Bashir would also inaugurate a housing complex comprising 1400 units.
Last week, Afewerki visited the Sudanese capital Khartoum for three days during which he discussed bilateral issues with Al-Bashir.
Afewerki’s visit came following reports of tension along the shared borders and UN condemnation of Khartoum for deporting Eritrean refugees.
Human Rights Watch on Tuesday demanded that Sudan halts mass deportation of Eritrean refugees, saying Khartoum had handed over 300 Eritreans to the Eritrean military without screening them for refugee status.
Tension in Kassala
Al-Bashir’s visit to Kassala coincides with a wave of intermittent student protests that has been sweeping the eastern town since October 18.
Grifina Movement, an anti-government youth group, reported that university students in Kassala held a number of protests against ’academic, economic and political situation in the country.’
According to the group, the protests were met with ’excessive violence’ by the authorities, saying that eight students were ’critically injured’ when they were run over by a security car.
There was no official comment by Sudanese authorities.
Sudan has been witnessing a growing number of small protests in recent months against rising food prices and deteriorating public services.

I agree with you because Sudan signed, for the new sanction as the member of the IGAD , so if Sudan see the the light on the end of the tunnel to push Dictator Issayas over the cliff, they will do it ,they will not hesitate they are just waiting for the right time. the main rezone for the first 3 days visit was border tensions, so I cant wait for the day the Sudanese push him over the cliff like Ghadafi.

If I guess your name is feminine, then cut the gender stereotypical bigotry of ‘little girl’ right out. The news only goes to show how sadistic woyane is and how it pains well meaning Africans to see such barbaric mentality in their name. PIA will go to the end of the world to represent Eritrea and debunk woyane lies. His trip to Uganda had already served that purpose ala ‘Asmara Retreat’ forgery. Nothing new in that news, except the US and the sadistic woyane doing what they did in the whole of the last decade and utterly failed. The sanction will not be applied, get a rest.

Kozami,
You wrote in the above post, “His trip to Uganda had already served that purpose ala ‘Asmara Retreat’ forgery” This is a dream on your part. This is what the representative of Ugand in AU said,” Uganda will support more sanction on Eritrea at UN”. The announcment was made right after the Tyrant returns to Eritrea. I don’t see any debanking of any lies by the Monitory Group.

Do you know why ppl not follow or don’t trust those oppositions because they disregard the achievements done in Eritrea,(leaving the unification collaboration with meles aside for now),behayli emenuna,be honest with urselves first clear the jealousy thoughts from ur mind,if some good has done in Eritrea admit it and say its good,and ppl will easily believe you when post a bad news,but what’s in here is all negative,what’s wrong with this 26km road? its good and,its not done for ISAYAS its been done for the ppl whom you claim fighting for.emberdo eritrawyan?you wish the bad things to happen to Eritrea more than the ethiopians do,INSHAALAH it turns on you,and soon Agames kick you out.ya weshalkh.

OUR YOUTH’S PROBLEM IS THE UNLIMITED NATIONAL SERVICES,SO LETS SIGN A PETITION ASKING TO BRING IT BACK TO ITS ORIGIN OF TWO YEARS AND SUBMIT IT TO THE ERITREAN EMBASSIES WHERE EVER WE RESIDE,IT’S UNPRECEDENTED IDEA AND DEFINITELY WILL BE SUPPORTED BY THE MAJORITY WHO WANT TO SEE OUR YOUTH’S PARTICIPATION IN BUILDING THE COUNTRY THAN LOSE IN EXILE.

To Abdi (Abbadi )
Well ; Mr. Abbadi thanks for responding. But; on the other hand i really want to say some thing regarding to petition you mention on the abave or your statement . Look Mr. Abdi Eritrean people are not concerning only unlimeted military service that is one parcial of the demand or one of the periority . What else Eritrean people are asking are to tell your president enough is enough could u please step down and handed the power where it’s belong which is ofcourse to the Eritrean people first of all. And as you might know what followed is Eritrea is the only country in the world didn’t have conistitution it should guranty to the nation through transitional government which this takes us to election within all Eritrean all walk of life and all Eritrean the stake holders include and then we’ll feel reall governement of Eritrea. Unless your master Issias don’t do that you’re not going to see a peace full Eritrea & you will always going to look your shoulder ; even if you have wealth of Bisha gold you aren’t going to enjoy while you leave over half of your population behind. Plus we have over half a million of our people in Sudan who are suffering in every day life they have to return to thier home Eitrea . Because it’s not just fair while Eritrean brothers who come from Etiopia been recived within the Flawer . But. don’t get me wrong i hope you know what i mean .

@Jemal
oh,jimy your text sounds threating more than its debating,i don’t understand who’s demanding and privatizing eritrean’s problem?eritreans dream is to see their kids at home helping them and planning for their future,which’s the country’s future too,other than that its a dream of a caword ppl who want to get in power without any sacrifices and you are not in a position to tell PIA enough and step down as you didn’t participate when he was suffering enough,what gives you the right to ask him to step down and hands you the power?”zey harese qecha aygomden eu,ztekhobulu trah eu zbelE” and don’t expect the gov’t to hand you the power nor eritreans will allow that,
institution is a country’s guidline to itself not having one doesn’t mean its not a nation,so don’t make it an excuse to your hidden agenda against the gov’t whom 99% of eritreans are happy with. So my suggestion (petition)is to tackle the main issue which believed to be unlimited national services as before that we haven’t had any problems.
believe me if ISAYAS and eritreans see the nation’s future on you
they would have called to the election and vote for you,but you are
worthless opportunists who desperately dreaming of getting in power even if the price was more sanction on their country,sorry we don’t want you nor ur agametized agenda.
I didn’t get the last bit,what do you want us to learn from s.Africa
and gaddafi’ history?

Selfishness is something denying someone’s right is onother thing. You put it wright to mention those
refugees in Sudan who suffered their whole life generation after generation dying on a strange land far
from their loved once. The government played cards with UNHCR on early 90’s to discourage their return.
Don’t worry time is on the side of truthfull. We hope to see a government who hold us together as one
familly and seeing our people’s well being, sooner than later.

A. Salih Ghadi Johar/Ali Salim writes “Language and Religion In the Eritrean Politics’ and I developed a sub-title for each …”
This is the man whose both parents are originally from Temben-Tigray though he grew up in Keren. However, like many voluntary-Arab-Abeeds, he is ashamed of his Tigrinia language. Without shame he wrote: “I am a Moslem and my language is Arabic.”
One hears such vulgarity only in Eritrea. One does not see such low level inferiority complex among the Somalis, Afars, Zanzibaris, Ogadienians, Iranians, Turks, Khurdish … even the Talibans. Only in Eritrea! …. B

Listen Ababdi (Abdi) I am confedent enough to believe Abdi isn’t a reall name ; your reall name is Abbadi baised inyour very first articlewhen you joined to comment on assenna .com by the title how to tackle HGDEF.
To go back and focus to our business . You said my article looks more a threat than an argument ; I think you’ve got that wrong brother .
Mr. Abbadi ; my previous text isn’t a threat nor acrime ;it’s rother than an expressessionof opinion to reform on Eritrean system.
My text is ERitrean people disier to straight up polotical situationin back home in Eritrea; and also to screem on you if you can hear me that your governement is mistreating it’s own peole with no respect non what so ever .
Mt text is to request Eritrean governement to treat it’s people with dignity ‘ integrity;fairness and equal opportunity for all Ertitreansregardless of Race ; regionaland religionbeliefes.
