Failed asylum seeker stabs woman to death

A 30-year-old man has been charged with the fatal stabbing on Wednesday morning of a 38-year-old Eritrean woman in Kristiansand, southern Norway
The victim was stabbed in the chest in an apartment in the city’s Grim district. She was taken to Sørlandet hospital where she died from the injuries sustained in the attack.
Police said they were unsure if the suspected attacker was Iraqi or Iranian since he operated with two separate identities.
Chief investigator Geir Hansen said the suspect had received permission to remain in the country while he appeals a deportation order issued last year by the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration.
The Eritrean victim had received a permanent residency permit last year.
Police confirmed that the alleged attacker and his victim were both registered as living at the address where the stabbing took place.
“To the best of my knowledge there were no witnesses to the incident itself,” said investigator Hansen.
Police said they could not yet establish a motive for the attack.
A remand hearing has been scheduled for Thursday, newspaper Fædrelandsvennen reports.
Police could not say whether it was the attacker or somebody else who alerted them to the attack at 1.46am on Wednesday. The victim was pronounced dead at 2am.

Eritrean refugees kidnapped, killed: UNHCR chief – AFP

KASSALA, Sudan —Eritrean refugees are being kidnapped and sometimes killed by human traffickers, the head of the UN’s refugee agency said in Sudan on Thursday, calling for global action against the crimes. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Antonio Guterres, spoke after a tour of the Shagarab refugee camp which receives about 2,000 asylum-seekers every month, largely from neighbouring Eritrea where many have fledmilitary service.
“Taking profit of the desperate situation of many Eritreans that are leaving the country we have now a network, a criminal network, of smugglers and traffickers,” Guterres told reporters.
“People are kidnapped for ransom,” and in Egypt’s Sinai peninsula where some end up, they have been “killed for the traffic of organs”, he said.
Todeal with the “extremely serious” problem, the UNHCR will work with Sudanese authorities and the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), an intergovernmental body, to strengthen local police with additional vehicles, computers and other equipment, Guterres said.
“This is not only a problem of Sudan” because the gangs are global, he added, and countering their “very lucrative” activity requires combined action by different governments.
UNHCR is seeking $2 million from donors for its joint project with the IOM to research the trafficking and kidnapping issue, improve security in the refugee camps and develop local authorities’ ability to deal with the problem.
Young migrants are turning to illegal transportation by smugglers to reach the Sudanese capital Khartoum, the Middle East or Europe, where they hope to find greateropportunities, UNHCR said in a briefing paper.
But the agency said it received “numerous reports” last year of refugees and others being held for thousands of dollars in ransom.
“They’re being taken through the country by criminal groups and subject to kidnapping. This is happening here in the east of Sudan regularly,” said Felix Ross, the UNHCR’s senior protection officer.
“Daily, human trafficking is happening here,” oneEritrean refugee told AFP.

Two musicians from PFDJ’s Aser Band currently touring Europe abandon the regime to seek asylum in Sweden.

Two of the musicians and members of Aser Band currently touring Europe have abandoned the so-called Biddho Tour to seek asylum in Sweden. The organist Abdelrehim Abdela and one of the guitarists, Tedros Weldemichael, have discontinued their associations with the propaganda machine Aser Band, thus also the regime,according to our contacts in Sweden. This occurred after they had performed in Stockholm on the eve of New Year, 31st of December.
Furthermore, Aser Band’s planned concert performance in London, January 7th 2012, was cancelled because Aser Band lost its key musicians and because the Englishgovernment refused to grant entry visa to Aser Band.
This is nothing new. Eritreans of all walks of life, professionals and public personalities have been abandoning their country and immigrating to other countries since 2001. The failed economic, social and political policies of the totalitarian PFDJ regime are the sole cause of Eritrea’s production of thousands of refugees and asylum seekers forcefully chased away from their dear country.

Issias Afworki’s Interview: You don’t have to be mad to do this but it helps!

Thursday, 05 January 2012 17:04 Selam Kidane

the one and only thing I got out of IA’s recent ‘interview’ (the only bit where I didn’t drift off… fell asleep or fast forwarded over) was his take on the predicament of young people fleeing Eritrea…there is too many of them to be a figment of anyone’s imagination…. Their plight, far from being a fleeting picnic excursion, is so visible these days… etched onto caves in the Sinai and from there onto the conscience of all who watched those highlights… and hence an acknowledgement of their existence (well a sort of an acknowledgement)….

An Amharic saying goes ‘ebd ena sekaram yelibun yinageral’ and then an Asmarino joke goes a bit like… (Maybe it is not a joke at all)…wedi gebeya (is a renowned… outspoken… person with the inbuilt immunity of being meltally ill hence able to express his unadulterated views)…anyways Wedi Gebeya is said to have said: ‘me and the President are identical in many ways… he was a freedom fighter… and so I was… he became a victim of cerebral malaria as did I…he was treated for his illness and so did I… but he went to Israel for the said treatment and I was treated right here in Asmara… and today he is the presidential offices in Asmara while I roam the streets of Asmara and everyone thinks me mad!… and that, right there is the only difference between the two of us!’

I think he was spot on! If you stop any Eritrean ask them what the way forward for the ‘Eritrean youth refugee crisis is’ and they told you that: they should simply turn back and comeback to the home they left dodging bullets and escaping imprisonment and torture at worst and endless slave labour at best… many having paid unfathomable sums of money to get as far as the other side of the boarder…you would wonder at the planet that, that person inhabits…(or indeed the hospital that botched that treatment for whatever illness that has so incapacitated that mind!)

If the same person then told you that, Eritreans outside Eritrea can never have a future outside Eritrea…can never have fulfilling careers… would never be part of communities with mutually beneficial interrelationships would never be able to start and bring up families and hence their only option is to return back to Eritrea… you would wonder what messed up this person’s head in such a way…(especially if you are a member of a relatively successful diaspora community…)

If he then goes on to tell you that the prison guards who were tormenting and torturing the young people will not so much as cast a menacing glance at them on their return… and that all that would happen is a reorientation programme and that only for the benefit of the young returnees, you would begin to worry if someone dispensed far too many ‘happy pills’ to the speaker…(I laughed at the mention of fly swatting… as another dictator from another era also mentioned fly swatting to describe gentleness… do they share the same phrasebook?)… the prisons in Eritrea are full of young people who were forcefully returned to Eritrea… were caught crossing the border or were caught contemplating to cross the border…

But when the person goes on to tell you that before their return, he recommends that the young people get a trade and something in the region of $15-20 K … when everyone knows that the people he is talking about have been snatched from the jaws of a very brutal death at the hands of greedy traffickers (best case scenario) who also demanded that they somehow magically raise around the same amount or their bodies will become ‘spare parts’ for people better endowed to grace this earth than them…or that they had to choose between a spouse or a child surviving a rickety boat that disintegrated in the midst of a tide on the Mediterranean… and there he is asking them to not be wastrel?

It was at that point I stopped listening to President Issias Afwerki’s most recent ‘interviews’ and said to myself… ‘if your name isn’t Wedi Gebeya… I really do not want to listen to what you have to say on this matter anymore!’… for if someone said all this about the crisis that we have in our hands and that person isn’t mad… then we would call them foolish… out of touch or even stupid…but when that same person tells you that they are a president of your country then the full extent of our tragedy becomes apparent to the naked eye…

Please try this at home… transcribe what IA said about this issue… translate it to a language of your choice… and reread it… and if for one second you were able to forget that this was said by a president of the country that these young people are fleeing from… you would wonder which lunatic uttered this much nonsense on state television?

I am not going to wish anyone Happy New Year… I will instead wish us all… A year with a difference!

Selam

PS
BTW If anyone no longer wants their scarf from Awasa… I want one… cummon… there was 600+ of you out there and there is bound to be one with a different sense of fashion!!

A network of robbers linked to international organized crime. The names of the most dangerous traffickers and their links with armed struggle organizations.


An appeal to the governments of the Republic of Egypt, the Palestinian territories, the United Nations, the International Criminal Court, the authorities of Israel, Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Libya, Tunisia, and those of Dubai, Saudi Arabia, the European Union and countries outside Europe where there are links with the criminal trade underway in Northern Sinai.


Rome, January 4th, 2012. EveryOne Group is continuing its campaign against the trafficking of sub-Saharan migrants and human organs in the Sinai, a criminal phenomenon that has continued for many years without the authorities of the Republic of Egypt or the institutions of the Palestinian territories doing anything to block it, despite being aware of the identity and location of the traffickers' hideouts. Before the long international campaign that EveryOne Group is conducting (alongside other organizations for the rights of refugees and the fight against people trafficking) this trafficking in Sinai was ignored by the press and both the local and international authorities.


Today, however, this terrible phenomenon has become public domain. The United Nations, the European Union and the mainstream media of the civilized world have taken notice of the horrors taking place in the Sinai: the kidnappings, the heavy extortion, murders, kidney transplants, cases of torture and rape. However, if this information regarding the plight of migrants in the Sinai dries up, this odious trafficking will continue to be carried out along with the general indifference of the world. We must therefore increase our efforts and transform our anger into civil actions, because the world must stand up and refuse to allow these crimes against humanity to take place.


With this fresh report, EveryOne Group is reporting once again the authors of some of the most heinous crimes that have ever been committed by human beings. The complaint will be forwarded to the Egyptian authorities, the authorities of the Palestinian territories, and the authorities of Israel, Sudan, Libya, Ethiopia and Eritrea. All these countries have a role in the phenomenon of trafficking of migrants and organs. It starts out in Eritrea, Ethiopia and Sudan, where gangs of Rashaida Bedouins promise a better life to young Eritreans at risk of persecution or forced conscription. Once the migrants agree to leave for Israel, the trap is sprung. As well as the Rashaida gangs, other gangs are managing the trafficking among the Bedouins of the Sinai. These gangs also use Eritrean, Ethiopian and Sudanese accomplices who communicate with the prisoners and ensure that they ask the family for their ransom money without providing any other information. Some head-traffickers hold Eritrean women prisoner, as wives or concubines, as well as young slaves who have been unable to pay the ransom. Young sub-Saharan women are also sent to work as prostitutes in Egypt and the Palestinian territories, where in recent years the trafficking of women has become particularly well-established yet ignored by the international authorities:


http://fr.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1260436032612&pagename=JPArticle/ShowFull


To effectively combat trafficking in human beings, we must understand its structure and dynamics. Thanks to witness accounts from refugees, NGOs and human rights defenders are in possession of the names of traffickers, who are members of Palestinian terrorist groups. Jihadist fundamentalism is self-financed by criminal activity. Not surprisingly, jihadist leaders are also members of the Arab-Mafia. Weapons, drugs, prostitution, the slave trade and trade in human organs are sources for funding of the terrorists who have adopted the motto that "the end justifies the means". They work alongside the world's criminal organizations.


The paramilitary political organizations work just like the Mafia, making use of cells around the world. Not surprisingly, relatives of prisoners in the Sinai do not only send their payments to Egypt, Israel, Ethiopia and Sudan, but also to Saudi Arabia, Dubai, and in Europe (Switzerland, United Kingdom, France, Sweden). This movement hiding behind pseudo-political ideologies is called the "Arab Mafia" by some analysts. Fundamentalism and armed gangs work together and make the international trafficking of human beings, organs, drugs and weapons the foundation of their criminal activities.




To combat armed fundamentalism, we must fight the Mafia, to which it belongs. Money gives power to the criminals and, consequently, the fundamentalists (like the Mafia) always have more political weight. The reason Egypt is not able to eradicate the trafficking is the economic and political power of these armed movements. It is the same reason the Italian authorities, for example, cannot defeat the Mafia or even reduce its turnover. To get some results, they should fight the corruption of the authorities and then make use of collaborators of justice and private citizens who report - for a reward - the movement of human traffickers with their victims. It is important to keep in mind the links between organized crime and politics:

Sinai, an almost lawless land, is the base of religious and political movements of armed struggle (from Egyptian Islamic Jihad to Hamas), and the traffickers in human beings and organs provide the means of financing these movements:


http://grendelreport.posterous.com/muslim-brotherhood-terror-in-sinai


In Rafah, Al-Gorah, al-Arish, Sheikh Zuweid and other cities in the Sinai, Palestinian smugglers operate through the tunnels between the Egyptian and Palestinian sides of Rafah, along the "Philadelphia corridor". These are the barons of weapons, migrants and human organs trafficking. These powerful criminals have possessions in the Egyptian Sinai and in the Palestinian territories, where they move about freely, making use of the workers who until a few years ago worked in the transport of goods through the tunnels, but who in recent years have lost their jobs after Israel granted the free import of many goods:


http://english.aljazeera.net/news/middleeast/2010/07/201071692035676597.html


The head-traffickers control most of the 1,000 still active tunnels between Rafah and Palestine. The entrances to the tunnels are often within fenced-in Bedouin properties bordered by orchards. After the fall of Mubarak, the traffickers have had even more freedom in the Sinai:


http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle-east/egyptian-military-begins-closing-smuggling-tunnels-near-gaza/2011/09/04/gIQANvy31J_story.html


As well as being an important base for Hamas and other organizations of armed struggle, Arish, the capital of the North Sinai Governorate, is a stronghold of Arab and international organized crime:

Recently, thanks to the campaign against the trafficking in Sinai carried out by EveryOne Group, the New Generation Foundation for Human Rights, ICER and other NGOs, as well as CNN's important contribution with the "Freedom Project" (a key event in the fight against the trafficking of migrants and human organs), several traffickers have spontaneously released hundreds of sub-Saharan refugees:


http://www.everyonegroup.com/EveryOne/MainPage/Entries/2011/11/18_Slaves_freed_after_CNN_documentary.html


In addition, Bedouin members of the Al-Tiaha tribe clashed with a gang of traffickers from the Nakhalwa tribe and liberated a large group of hostages, most of them Eritreans. Many traffickers and some of the prisoners were killed in the crossfire:

http://www.everyonegroup.com/EveryOne/MainPage/Entries/2011/11/18_Notorious_human_smuggler_shot_dead%3B_611_Eritreans_released.html


At the same time, thanks to an initiative by the Salafi groups in Sinai, small Bedouin security forces have been seen in Northern Sinai collaborating with the police. According to the activist Hamdy al-Azazy, president of the New Generation Foundation for Human Rights and observer for Everyone Group, the Bedouin tribes of Sinai are in the process of reaching an agreement to fight the trafficking in human beings and organs alongside the police, and go after the major Palestinian traffickers: Abu Abdullah, Abu Mahmoud, Abu Musa, Abu Khaled, Abu Ahmed and others:

The situation in Arish, controlled by trafficking members of the armed struggle movements, is well described in an article published in the Daily News Egypt:


http://www.thedailynewsegypt.com/tunnel-business-security-vacuum-main-concerns-for-arish-residents.html


With regard to the identities of the traffickers, EveryOne Group has reported them to local and international authorities. In this report we have added some details that may be useful in ensuring their arrest, not only in the Sinai but also in the Palestinian territories


- Abu Abdullah is about 35 years old. He wears a beard, has a large family and several Eritrean concubines. He is one of the most violent traffickers, responsible for numerous murders, mutilations and torture. Sadistic with young prisoners, he is a rapist, and often carries out the most brutal crimes himself:


http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4087949,00.html


He is very powerful in the Sinai and is well-known in the Palestinian territories where he is one of the leaders of Hamas, as well as a trafficker that Hamas has entrusted with controlling some of the main tunnels. We must point out that Hamas has full control of the network of tunnels that link the two sides of Rafah:

- Abu Mahmoud is also a Hamas man, and he too controls several of the tunnels:

- The same goes for Abu Khaled, who declared his belonging to Hamas in an interview with The Telegraph:

http://www.thenational.ae/news/worldwide/middle-east/roads-to-riches-run-deep-in-rafah?pageCount=3


- Abu Ahmed is a Palestinian Bedouin, considered a Hamas activist, who works between the Palestinian territories and Northern Sinai. He is a member of the notorious Sawarka family of traffickers:

Recently, another member of the Sawarka family freed, on his own initiative, 32 young Eritreans hostages, enabling them to reach Israel. The trafficker agreed with the leaders of the Bedouin tribes of Sinai to put a stop to trafficking in human beings and organs:


http://www.everyonegroup.com/EveryOne/MainPage/Entries/2011/12/25_Sinai%2C_slave_trade__32_more_refugees_released.html


- Abu Musa is another dangerous criminal who operates mainly in Southern Sinai. We have already provided his details and the location of his hideout to the authorities:

http://www.everyonegroup.com/EveryOne/MainPage/Entries/2011/11/29_Sinai._EveryOne_Group_locates_the_hideout_of_the_trafficker_Abu_Musa.html


With this report, EveryOne Group is appealing to the Egyptian Government and the Palestinian authorities to undertake investigations aimed at dismantling the hideouts of these traffickers, and to free the hostages, granting them the right to international protection, in consultation with UNHCR, as refugees and victims of trafficking. We are asking them to prosecute the leaders of the people and organ trafficking, their collaborators, and the criminal network that works directly or indirectly with them through collusion, bribery, corruption, and contact with the organized crime groups linked to these terrible acts against humanity. At the same time, EveryOne Group is appealing to the United Nations and the International Criminal Court in The Hague to prosecute - according to the authority granted to those organizations - the abductions, murders, episodes of torture and rape, extortion, and the illegal removal of kidneys and other organs that has been going on, unpunished, for years in the Sinai. Finally, EveryOne Group, which is based in Italy, has appealed for help to the governments of Egypt, Palestine, Israel, Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Libya, Tunisia, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, the European Union and those countries outside Europe that have links with the trafficking in Northern Sinai, particularly regarding the deposits - through money transfer agencies or bank accounts - of the ransoms paid by the families of prisoners being held hostage.


Awaiting an answer and a promise of urgent action aimed at combating the phenomenon of criminal trafficking in the Sinai, we send you our best regards.

The son of a Priest thinks that God is his Uncle.

Following the Winnipeg Free Press Article of 25th of November, 2011 entitled “Country they fled has long tentacles - Regime taps Eritrean refugees for cash” by Carol Sanders; a lot of commotion has ensued in Winnipeg amongst Eritrean Canadians.  Normally we do not have an urge to respond to such issues but the hoopla over the past month has convinced us that we need to speak-up. 

The article primarily dealt with the “long arms of the Eritrean government and the illegal and coercive methods it uses to spy on, and consolidate its control over the Diaspora”.

The President of one of the Eritrean Communities in Winnipeg Mr. Kyriakakos in response to the article in a press release said “the articles paint his organization and the greater Eritrean community as terrorists’’.   Mr. Kyriakakos et.al in their press release accompanied by a cartoon with the caption Media Goliaths vs. Eritrean Canadians (see attachment 1) accused the Winnipeg Free Press and made a call for demonstration to Canadians of Eritrean descent living in Winnipeg to:-  “oppose and strongly reject the serious Mass Media Distortion from the Winnipeg Free Press with unfounded allegations of terrorism against the Eritrean Community and that it is harming our community and polarizing our members in Winnipeg and in Canada and, the effect that this will have on our children and the new generation of Canadians of Eritrean origin”.

Nevertheless, we have found nothing in the articles of WFP that says; Eritrean Canadians are terrorists nor was there any comment that could be interpreted as such.  Contrary to the claims of Mr. Kyriakakos et.al, we residents of Winnipeg of Eritrean descent, have not faced any sort of polarization or marginalization or had any effect on our children.  To the contrary it was very enlightening. 

The demonstration called by Mr.  Kyriakakos et.al is not an isolated incident.  Even though on the surface it appears that it was in reaction to the WFP articles, but none the less it is not.  It was part and parcel of the series of demonstrations and seminars that suddenly erupted in the month of December 2011 called “Hizbawi Mekete” (National Rebuff) to object the sanctions on Eritrea that was being debated at the UNSC and show to the international community that the Eritrean government enjoys the full support of its people.  The instruction to demonstrate and hold public meetings and seminars was issued by the office of Mr. Yemane Gebreab, political advisor to the President of Eritrea and in charge of the “Hizbawi Mekete”. 

Some of the similar demonstrations and public meetings held in the month of December 2011, were Malmo, Sweden, 9th of December; Stockholm, Sweden 18 of December (bashing and condemning the Swedish Press); Winnipeg, Canada the 15th of December (bashing the Canadian Press); London, UK 18th of December; Riyadh, Saudi Arabia the 17th of December; Jeddah, Saudi Arabia 22nd of December; and the list is endless.  A mere coincidence – give us a break. 

This fact alone proves without doubt who is behind these coordinated demonstrations and public seminars and, who gives the directives to these so called “community organizations”.  The Case of Winnipeg cannot be and is no different.
The actions of Mr. Kyriakakos and the so called Eritrean Community of Winnipeg, is not a new phenomenon, and has been exhibited repeatedly whenever someone speaks about the gross human rights abuse committed by the Eritrean regime.  He has repeatedly gone on record speaking as a defender of the Eritrean regime.  Since this is available mostly on public websites it is easy to verify.

  • When in January 2, 2004 our community “The community of Eritrean Canadians in Manitoba” (which by the way is an independent and separate Eritrean Community from that led by Mr. Kyriakakos) conducted an interview with the WFP to raise awareness on the predicament of the Eritrean Refugees in Malta, (refer Eritreans seek aid for compatriots, Manitobans hoping to bring Asylum seekers to Canada – by William Lin Jan 02, 2004)  and to ask for assistance to rescue these Refugees who were in danger of being deported to Eritrea, he made similar noises via a now defunct Eritrean organization called the Canadian peace rally.
  • Again on April 3, 2006 when finally these refugees arrived in Winnipeg, thanks to the generosity of the people and Government of Canada, conducted a joint press conference  with our community to show their appreciation regarding their rescue by Canada (refer WFP article Eritrean refugees 'born again' - Scars a symbol of struggle to escape by Gabrielle Giroday on April 3rd, 2006) he expressed his objection vehemently.  He wrote to the WFP – have your say column on 12th April, 2006 under the title “Eritrean political reality” and said “Your article lacks some basic information and risks creating polarization between our members due to a potentially misguided direction.  It touches superficially on the issue of the Eritrean political reality giving false image and message”.
  • He further blamed the cause of the refugee problem from Eritrea on Ethiopia’s non compliance with the decision in 2002 of an international court decision regarding the border and continues to argue that “the current refugees in Winnipeg are victims of a prolonged tense situation while their fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters and themselves were at the forefront of preserving freedom and justice in Eritrea”.

What we want to ask Mr. Kyriakakos is, 
  • Why is he defending the Eritrean government and its horrendous human right record and tries to give us a false justification to the massive influx of refugees from Eritrea despite the mountain of evidence as documented by human right organizations and the testimonies of the tens of thousands of refugees?
  • What does the banning of Evangelical churches as imperialist religions, imprisonment of thousands of Evangelical Christians, the incarceration of the 85 years old Patriarch of the Eritrean Orthodox church, His Holiness Abune Antonios,  the open-ended national service which has evolved into a form of state sponsored slavery, the suppression of freedom of press, imprisonment of all government critics, and the detention of thousands of family members of draft evaders etc. etc. has anything to do with the Ethio-Eritrean border demarcation.
  • One in four Eritreans are refugees currently. These new post independence asylum seekers are mostly youngsters who dared to risk the unknown to escape a nation of stolen youth, camouflaged slavery and a land of one vast military camp celebrating death. Eritreans are fleeing their country because it is no more livable due to the massive human rights abuse perpetrated against them by their own government.  In short Eritrea today is an inferno.
  • Eritrea the North Korea of Africa and dubbed as “a big open prison” today has more prisons than schools and the humanitarian tragedy that has been ongoing in these prisons for almost two decades unabated is horrendous and can be termed as genocide.

Mr. Kyriakakos, as victims of the above atrocities and as recent arrivals from Eritrea, we would like to inform you that this is the underlying issue which has made our homeland the largest refugee producing nation per capita in the world today,  and not the non compliance of Ethiopia regarding the border demarcation. 

Moreover, On August 22, 2010.Mr. Kyriakakos sponsored and organized a public seminar at the University of Winnipeg for the Eritrean government.  The guest of honor and chair was Mr. Semere Gebremariam, Head of Public Affairs in the Eritrean consulate in Toronto. The seminar was intended to shore up political and financial support for the Eritrean government. At the seminar the Eritrean Consul campaigned against UN Security Council resolution 1907 of December 23, 2009 which Canada approved on April 22, 2010 under Canadian regulation implementing the United Nations Resolution on Eritrea (SOR/2010-84). 

The seminar organized by Mr. Kyriakakos et.al dealt with 5 subjects and was chaired by the Eritrean Consul and co- chaired by the bag man of the Eritrean government who collects the 2% tax in Winnipeg. The topics discussed  were 1) The Eritrean Economy, 2)The UNSC sanction,       3) Appeal for fund raising, 4) Bashing the USA, and the international community including Canada  5) How to deal with opposition to the government of Eritrea in the Diaspora.

Thus the meeting was nothing less or different than a party meeting of supporters of the Eritrean government. Mr. Kyriakakos has gone on record telling the Winnipeg Free Press (23 August, 2010) that the only discussion was regarding the family members back home of Eritreans in Winnipeg. This shows us clearly what a big racket this is, and the degree to which they are going to disguise the true intention of the meeting.

In this seminar the Eritrean consul to Canada gave explicit instruction regarding anyone who opposes the government of Eritrea like human rights group, community organizations and individuals to be singled out, their activities closely monitored and to alienate them and ban them from all social life and community activities.  Thus the Eritrean diplomat transgressed his duties and responsibilities as a diplomat by giving instructions to the participants of the seminar to spy on Canadian Nationals of Eritrean origin.  This was facilitated and organized by none other than Mr. Kyriakakos and his group.
Another incident was when a US/Eritrean citizen named Sophia Tesfamariam (an ardent advocate of the Eritrean government’s policies) visited Winnipeg to conduct a seminar organized again by Mr. Kyriakakos et.al at the Masonic Temple in October, 2010.  On this seminar, Mrs. Sophia Tesfamariam portrayed Eritrea as a victim of conspiracy of powerful actors like the USA, Western powers and human rights advocacy groups like Amnesty International wanting to punish Eritrea and to keep the 'Jewish Israeli' interests in the region.  Mrs. Tesfamariam in her anti Semite speech, warned the seminar participants not to be like the “evil Jews”.  The guest speaker who was spewing her anti-Semitic rhetoric had been invited to Winnipeg by none other than our own Mr. Kyriakakos.
On the 19th of May 2011 the B'nai Brith Canada, the Jewish community’s foremost human rights agency in its Press release called on the Government of Canada and the United Nations sanctions committee established under UN Security Council resolution 751 (the 751 Committee) to designate Sophia Tesfamariam as a person inciting to hatred and terrorism. 

B'nai Brith Canada, also asked the Eritrean Community of Winnipeg led by Mr. Kyriakakos in the future not to host any similar events, and to refrain from providing platform to anti Semitism, that tears away at the Winnipeg community fabric. (Refer to Firebrand speaker triggers ban bid - Fearful of anti-Semitic incitement Posted on 21st May, 2011 WFP)

Fund raising operations from Diaspora Eritreans through Satellite so called “community organizations” from festivals, seminars and conferences conducted throughout the world, along with the 2% coercive tax, is a crucial source of revenue for the Eritrean government.  The Diaspora have regularly been raising funds to the state and sent money to their families. All this money ends up in the coffers of the Eritrean regime.  The Eritrean government in turn spends it in harboring, training, arming all kinds of terrorists throughout the Horn of Africa.  The Diaspora should be aware that the funds they raise is also used to terrorize their own people back home and they should take note that they are jeopardizing the safety and freedom of the people of their host nations. 
  • We would like to take this opportunity to thank the people and government of Canada for their generosity in helping family members of Eritrean Canadians who are refugees, find durable solution to their problem and to continue the good work until a comprehensive solution is found.
  • Taking into account the risk that the Eritrean consular office in Canada poses to the security and well being of Eritrean Canadians and their family members as demonstrated in the seminar of August 22, 2010 organized by Mr. Kyriakakos et.al and chaired by Mr. Semere Gebremariam, we request that the Eritrean diplomatic mission in Canada to be closed and its staff expelled for activities incompatible with their diplomatic status.
  • We would like to ask the Canadian government to protect family members of Eritrean humanitarian activists and human right organization members from retaliation by the supporters of the Eritrean government here in Canada.
  • We would like to encourage Mr. Kyriakakos et.al to cease and desist from organizing platforms to the repressive Eritrean regime officials and its operatives like the anti Semite Mrs. Sophia Tesfamariam.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
B'nai Brith Canada calls on the Government of Canada and the United Nations sanctions committee established under UN Security Council resolution 751 (the 751 Committee) to designate Sophia Tesfamariam as a person inciting to hatred and terrorism.
Winnipeg, May 19, 2011
B'nai Brith Canada calls on the Government of Canada and the United Nations sanctions committee established under UN Security Council resolution 751 (the 751 Committee) to designate Sophia Tesfamariam as a person inciting to hatred and terrorism.  Incitement to hatred is a Canadian criminal offence.  Canadian immigration law prohibits the entry to Canada of a person who there are reasonable grounds to believe will commit a criminal offence.
UN Security Council resolution (1907) of December 23, 2009 decided that United Nations Member States "shall" impose sanctions on Eritrea, in part, because the Government of Eritrea was "arming, training, and equipping" the Al-Qaida affiliated Al Shabab terrorists of Somalia.  Canada acted on this resolution by an implementing sanction regulation enacted April 22, 2010.
The UN Security Council resolution "decides that all Member States shall take the necessary measures to prevent the entry into or transit through their territories of individuals designated by the [751] Committee".  The resolution further decides that it "shall apply to individuals ... designated by the Committee ... as ... inciting individuals or groups to perpetrate acts of violence or terrorist acts against other States or their citizens in the region."
The Canadian Immigration and Refugee Protection Act provides that "a foreign national is inadmissible on grounds of violating human or international rights for ... being a person ... whose entry into or stay in Canada is restricted pursuant to a decision, resolution or measure of an international organization of states or association of states, of which Canada is a member, that imposes sanctions on a country against which Canada has imposed or has agreed to impose sanctions in concert with that organization or association."
The effect of the designation of Ms. Tesfamariam would be to bar her entry to Canada.  The reason is her behaviour when she came to Winnipeg and spoke here.
Sophia Tesfamariam spoke at a public seminar and fundraiser sponsored by the Eritrean Community of Winnipeg that took place, at Masonic Memorial Temple, on October 02, 2010. Ms. Tesfamariam is a Washington based Eritrean American.   Ms. Tesfamariam, on her Face book page lists as her affiliation "Eritrean Government".
At her speaking engagement in October 2010, Mrs. Sophia Tesfamariam attempted to portray Eritrea as a victim of conspiracy of powerful actors hell-bent to destabilize Eritrea for its policy of self-reliance and its opposition to US foreign policy. The main actor against Eritrea, according to her, is the USA, helped by other Western countries, with the media conglomerates (owned by few corporations), and human rights advocacy groups like Amnesty International wanting to punish Eritrea and to keep the 'Jewish Israeli' interests in the region.
At the seminar, she referred to Israel as an example of terrorist state and as the main strategic ally of the US against countries like Eritrea. She used the words, 'Israeli government', 'Jewish', 'the Jews' liberally and interchangeably. She said:   'Self reliance means we are anti-Israel'.
She continued by saying how the media owned by special interests blackmail and misinform people.  She claimed that Palestinians were dispossessed by Israelis and argued that this alleged dispossession is not considered as a terrorist activity.  She said:  "That is my favourite. The 1948 agreement prohibits Palestinians from having arms. We supply the Israelis billions of American tax payers’ money. Why my tax goes in billions to subsidise the Israeli Army to kill innocent Palestinian kids who don't have arms but stones."
Mrs. Tesfamariam urged the audience to rise up against what she called a conspiracy of media conglomerates owned by few corporations of special interests, along with human rights organizations that have targeted Eritrea's human rights record.  She said "We have to be loyal to our nation and need to strengthen the economy. We have to buy shares from the mining companies. So buy shares from those companies who work in Eritrea and get rich quick ... We got to be like Jews but don't be evil like them; don't blow up people; don't do things that are evil, absolutely that is our job."
Mrs. Tesfamariam blamed the Jewish State for being the destabilizing factor in the region.  Israel, as Ms. Tesfamariam acknowledged, is part of the region and therefore within the scope of the UN Security Council resolution 1907 prohibition against incitement to terrorism in the region.
David Matas, Senior Honorary Counsel for B'nai Brith Canada, stated: "The October 2010 speech of Ms. Tesfamariam, by referring to Jews as evil as well as its other components, fits within the prohibitions against incitement to hatred in the Canadian Criminal Code and incitement to terrorism in the United Nations Security Council resolution.
Having once violated those standards, Ms. Tesfamariam should be designated and barred entry to Canada to prevent further violations. Canada needs to protect itself against incitement to hatred and violence."
Alan Yusim, Regional Director, B'nai Brith Canada, Midwest Region said:  "We ask the Eritrean Community of Winnipeg in the future not to host any similar events.  Providing platform to anti Semitism, tears away at the Winnipeg community fabric.
B’nai Brith Canada has been active in Canada since 1875 and in Manitoba since 1909
