Eritrea: The next Syria?
"Eritrea's refusal to "engage in any kind of military relationship with the U.S. Africa Command," is putting "them in the crosshairs of the United States," said Glen Ford, executive editor of the Black Agenda Report.
Earlier this month, the United Nations published an investigation that concluded that Eritrea has committed crimes against humanity, citing "indefinite national service, arbitrary detention, torture, forced disappearance, and gender based violence."
Ford rejected the findings of the Commission of Inquiry on Eritrea, calling the charge of indefinite national service "bogus."
