Sweden has ordered a diplomat from Eritrea’s embassy to leave the country within the next 48 hours.
“I can confirm that a foreign diplomat has been ordered to leave the country but I can’t go into the reasons,” foreign ministry spokeswoman Charlotta Ozaki Macías told the TT news agency. The ministry has a
The ministry has a policy of not revealing the nationality of diplomats ejected from Sweden.
A number of TT’s sources however were able to independently confirm that Sweden had given the first secretary at the Eritrean embassy just two days to leave.
A spokeswoman for the embassy declined to comment when reached by The Local.
One source, who asked not to be named, told TT: “It’s been in the works for a long time that an Eritrean diplomat was to be ejected.”
Sweden’s reasons for taking the unusual step are unclear.
Diplomats cannot be prosecuted if they commit a crime but they can be declared persona not grata and told to leave the country.
Many Swedish-Eritreans accuse the embassy of demanding they pay a two-percent exile tax. Failure to pay can result in the embassy refusing to give them ID documents or even harming their families in Eritrea, they say.
The embassy has also faced repeated accusations that it spies on Swedish-Eritreans who are critical of the country’s dictatorial regime.
In Sweden, the best-known such critic is Dawit Isaak, a Swedish-Eritrean journalist who has spent 13 years in an Eritrean jail without trial.

One lunetic pfdj supporter came up With a New term ‘mercinary begger’ calling an oppositioner. I tried to undesrstand in regarding to the content he replied. There was no meaning at all. A mercinary killes instead of begging.
But when i heard this diplomat ordred to leave due to 2% extortion tax and this mercynary begger may have a real meaning. Take a pfdj member who intimidiate eritrean People who left their country due to pfdj policy for not paying the 2%. If one organize eri People to stop the 2% he can be killed in Eritrea. So any pfdj who kills these kind of People catagorized as mercinary. And assume the same mercinary comes to eurpa and tells the stroy of the suffring of eritean People as his suffering and get permission to stay in Europa or America. That means he is begging.
So mercinary begger is a New term pfdj who ask asylum and still supports pfdj. Mercinary beggers! What an Expression.

What the dictator Isayas and his PFDJ and his mercenaries abroad missed was that justice always comes to the rescue of the oppressed. The ring is starting to close on these bandits and non-Eritreans.
A true Eritrean should never treat his fellow countrymen unjustly. Because Eritreans have fought side by side, Muslim and Christian, women and men, to bring freedom from foreign occupation, ALL OF THEM deserve to enjoy all the fruits of freedom. The Eritrean Liberation struggle was not fought to put in power a group of bandits, and their mercenaries for indefinite time. It was fought to bring peace, justice and freedom to each and every Eritrean.
