According to UN documents regarding Somalia , the sanctions Include :

Arms embargo
Asset Freez
Travel Ban

I think the asset freez will definitely affect the eritrean Government. The asset Freez separates an entity ( could be an individual or a country or a group) form its finacial resources. Such respources includes both tangible and intangible asstes. In case of eritrea it would mean denaying the government form collecting 2% tax from eritreans abroad, forbiding the mining companies form making any kind of finacial transfer to the benefit of the eritrean government, forbiding finacial institutions such as banks form providing any kind of finacial services to the eritrea governmnet and of course frrezing any assets registred in the name of the eritrean government or people associated with the governmnet.

The travel ban will definitely frrez the activities of the government abroad. The offcials of the PFDJ and the governmnt will be barred from traveling abroad for any kind of activity. The will end up counting thier days simply in the samll town asmara.

Lastly, the arms embargo…I think this sanction will not have much effect on the Eritrean Government. The Government have enough weapons to terrorize its citizens. I do not think eritrea willl ever strat war against ethiopia.

Hence UN security council I blieve the respect you have on human rights,as you are representing the international community ,please reject the proposal of AU and give your Democratic decisions.

And teach the dectator issayas who is trying to lengthen his power by define democracy as a greek word like a student

Exactly seven years ago the AU was founded by 53 head of states in order to improve the situation for Africans. Since this day we have not seen any results or major actions. They went out to help the helpless, to stop the wars and to take responsibility for a continent no one feels responsible for. African solutions for African problems – this must be a joke!

Look at Zimbabwe and Mugabe; the AU had done absolutely nothing to take actions against him. During African summits he was welcomed as a member and equal partner by the African Union. The failure of the African Union to keep its promises is no surprise to me. Mugabe is not the only former freedom fighter, who perceives his country and its people as his private property. Museveni of Uganda or Biya of Camerun have all changed the constitution to stay in power. The longest serving head of state in the world is an African (Trickser Omar Bongo of Gabun). In Togo the position as head of state is perceived as a family business. Moreover, Ethiopia, Sudan, Chad or Gaddafi’s Libya can not be called democracies.

Having looked at this, you can not tell me the AU has the right to judge others or that the AU is able to implement its agenda for a better Africa. It will never be able to resemble other regional unions such as the EU. Thus Eritrea is right to call the AU toothless. Moreover, it is baseless and farce from the AU to demand sanctions against Eritrea from the UN. As long as Ethiopia is not implementing the agreed border demarcation with Eritrea, sad but true- WE ARE AT WAR! And Eritrea has the right to defend its sovereignty!

Defending the own country can be done in many ways – for example with indirect means in the same way as the USA or other states are doing it. Honestly, the African Union is afraid of Eritrea becoming a strong player in the region. A strong player with TEETH!
The AU is 100% funded by western countries and known to be the club of dictators!! This will not change!!

I am just wondering what is going on?

Why is it that we hear bad news from every corner of the world about our country?

I am a patriot and I love my country, I just do not want it to end up like Afghanistan or Somalia!

WHAT?! Can tell me one specific action (supported by any type of proof) that is getting eritrea in trouble with “the world”?

try yo widen your horizon lest you suffer from tunnel-vision syndrome.
