Sudan’s parliament endorsed a human trafficking act that allows to sentence human traffickers with the death penalty.

According to Sudan’s leading english daily paper, the decision was made after thorough study and deliberations by MPs representing legislation, justice, defense and security, who approved the death sentence act. Members of Parliament emphasized the necessity of harsh punishments for human traffickers.

UNHCR said last year that Sudan hosts bout half a million of refugees from the Horn of Africa states most of them are from Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Somalia who spread in all Sudanese towns.

Sudan’s Minister of Interior, Babikir Ahmed Digna called for the establishment of specialized institutions to control such crimes.

Many victims of human trafficking use Sudan as the origin or hub to migrate via the dangerous Sinai in Egypt to host destinations such as Israel or Europe.

According to data released by Israel’s Ministry of Interior, there are about 55,000 people in Israel who had irregularly entered via the Egyptian border. Of these, 66 per cent are Eritreans, and 25 per cent are Sudanese.

    then the sudanese must kill iseyas afeworki and his gang for the human trafficers, the smuggling.
    please read: http://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2013/dec/04/eritrea-military-trafficking-children-report

    p.s. here is one way how you can easily recognize members of this gang:
    they call everybody who is standing for human rights and justice “agame”, “weyane”, “tegaru”, “ethiopian” and what is really sick, also “smuggler”.

    • kahsay.mekonen YERDAEKUM!!!!

      The article is written by the smugglers and we will see who will face the charge of death.

      You might be one of them.

      Betri haki teketen ember ayteseberen!!!!

        those who are guilty for
        -selling and killing eritrean children
        -stealing the cupper and gold of eritrea
        -working with arab-smugglers
        -closing their eyes while the people of eritrea is suffering
        -dancing at festivals and collecting money for the regime while 400 eritreans perished at cost of Lampedusa
        -shutting their mouths while 86 Pacific Priest His Holiness Abune Antonios is getting abused

        “Betri haki teketen ember ayteseberen!!!!” that is very, very, very right.
        (but you just “borrowed” this speech from human people - would be good, if you internalise it)

        they, and if you are a co-worker of the evel regime, also you, will be charged by secular an godly legislation.

        • selamawit

          please read “pacifist priest”

  • kahsay.mekonen YERDAEKUM!!!!

    I was left Eritrea because I need money. I was very blinded to just have a million dollars in a year. It is nothing to do with PFDJ or who ever person is in Eritrea. No one was forced me to cross the border. I am not even a politician. I was just a university student and I might be a reserved army as well. I dont see why people are fabricating untruths things regarding we the youths that fleeing our country.
    the truth is all about money, I paid a huge amount of money to cross the border to the smugglers so that I can make more money in England USA, and Scandinavian which I am now regrating for what I had done. Repeat, the government or the smugglers are nothing to do with the suffering youths, it was their choices to leave Eritrea.
