Massawa, 2 February 2010 - The Secretary of the PFDJ, Mr. Al-Amin Mohammed Seid, said that the acts of conspiracy weaved by the US Administration to obstruct the independent political path of the people and Government of Eritrea, and thereby exercise absolute control over the Red Sea and the Horn region would be foiled through the firm unity and steadfastness of the Eritrean people.

He made the remarks in an interview he conducted today with ERINA in the port city of Massawa in connection with the 20th anniversary of Operation Fenkil. Mr. Al-Amin pointed out that the vicious US sanctions resolution adopted in the name of the Security Council is just an extension of previous hostile stance. In this respect, he expressed conviction that such acts of hostility would only strengthen the valor and patriotism of the people and Government of Eritrea.

He further recalled the dramas staged by Washington in the mid 1980s and early 1990s under the guise of peace dialogue with the Eritrean Revolution. Upon close scrutiny, however, such a drama was in essence between “kneel down” on the one hand and “NEVER!” on the other, the PFDJ Secretary underscored. Mr. Al-Amin elaborated that the latest maneuvers in the from of sanctions is but only a change in name and time, and as such it is the same drama.  In this respect, he pointed out that history would once again prove that the Eritrean people would as ever emerge victorious.

Noting that the hegemony-driven US administration has been persistently weaving acts of conspiracy and injustice against Eritrea and its people since the 1940s, Mr. Al-Amin explained that the war of aggression unleashed by the servant TPLF regime and the ensuing colossal damage to life and property constitutes one of the concrete examples of such misdeeds.

In the face of the current challenge, The PFDJ Secretary emphasized the need to put up united resistance, hard work and productivity on top of reinforcing national unity.

In connection with the commemoration of the 20th anniversary of Operation Fenkil, he underlined that the event not only symbolized the heroic feats of the freedom fighters but also changed the course of history of the Horn region.
