The Sentry's libellous and defamatory accusation against Eritrea warrants robust rebuttal; if not legal action.
Deplorable and unconscionable as their act remains, it is not surprising in many ways.
Indeed, some of the prominent members of the Board were the principal culprits who exacerbated the 1998/2000 border conflict between Ethiopia and Eritrea by jettisoning the "facilitation/honest broker" role that they were entrusted with to take a partisan position in support of the EPRDF regime.
Later, they leveraged their status and influence in the US State Department to ram through the illicit UNSC sanctions against Eritrea in 2009 and 2011 respectively. This historical baggage is well documented to be denied or shrugged of.
Today, and instead of atoning for their past crimes, they seem bent on reviving their "unfinished agenda" by resuscitating and intensifying their malicious campaign of defamation and hostility against Eritrea.
