Must read! Now it seems a new age of imperialism is upon us. This time the great powers vying for influence in the region are Russia and the UAE, along with Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, and China.

Of late, to the delight of the Eritrean people, the Government of Eritrea has released dozens of prisoners. In a press release, the UN’s Office of the High Commissioner for HR said that while this news is encouraging, the Government needs to do more because there “are estimated to be more than 10,000 people in arbitrary detention in Eritrea, among them politicians, journalists, priests and students.” Where did the “10,000” number come and how credible is it?
