<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Fecadu Abraha left himself Eritrea for over 10 years ago &#8211; and can not enter for the current regime.

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Protesters mark that this is now 10 years since the new country a crackdown on Christian churches. Particularly evangelical and charismatic churches were forbidden and persecuted, while Catholic, Lutheran and Orthodox churches still tolerated in the country, where about half the population are Sunni Muslims and half Christians.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">The organization Christian Solidarity Worldwide estimated that today there are between 2000 and 3000 Christians who are in prison solely because of their faith.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">&#8221;All we ask is that they respect our rights. We have not demanded a new government or the president resigns, &#8221;said Berhane Ashmelash, speaking on behalf of refugees from Eritrea.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">The most visible person at the demonstration is metropolitan Seraphim, leader of the Coptic Orthodox Church in Great Britain. He stands under a dark red and golden parasol, as a helper hold over him, despite the fact that it is neither raining or bright sunshine.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">He tells of the former Orthodox patriarch of Eritrea, Abune Antonios, who has been under house arrest since 2006.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">&#8221;He has lost everything. Even the personal gifts he received in Cairo by Pope Shenouda, as his crown and wand taken from him and given to the successor, the government has inserted. They took his car and driver, so he had to go. They have stolen his title and the symbols of his title. But he has retained his respect and his dignity, &#8221;stated metropolitan Seraphim.</span></p>

U.S. citizens who travel to or reside in Eritrea are strongly advised to enroll in the State Department’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). U.S. citizens without Internet access may enroll directly with the U.S. Embassy or Consulate.  By enrolling, you make it easier for the U.S. Embassy to contact you in the event of an emergency.
Current information on safety and security can also be obtained by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll-free in the United States or a regular toll line at-1-202-501-4444 for callers from other countries. These numbers are available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday (except U.S. federal holidays). You can also stay up to date by bookmarking our Bureau of Consular Affairs website, which contains the current Travel Warnings and Travel Alerts as [...]]]></description>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Eritrea gained independence on May 24, 1993, but for most of us the conclusion of the long and bloody war of independence against Ethiopia two years earlier remains the true moment of liberation. President Isaias Afwerki, a war hero, came to power then, vowing to lead us out of the past. Like most Eritreans, I hoped he would succeed and show the world we were above the corruption and dictatorship that engulfs so many young nations. But today, there is little to celebrate in Eritrea.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Isaias has become a ruthless tormentor of his own people. Eritrea consistently appears at the bottom of any index on press freedom, occasionally trading places with North Korea. There is no independent judiciary. Unions and political opposition parties are illegal, as are peaceful demonstrations and public meetings. A gathering of more than seven people is punishable by law. Only a handful of religions are able to practice their faith. For a decade the regime has enforced its emigration ban with a shoot-to-kill policy at the border. Nonetheless, some 3,000 youths reportedly flee the country each month — our entire population is 5.2 million. According to UN statistics, Eritrea has more per capita refugees than almost any other country.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Ten years after independence, I had become co-founder and editor-in-chief of Setit, the first and largest independent newspaper in Eritrea. Gravely dissatisfied with the way the country was run, I pressed for reforms, asking the government to implement the constitution; to eradicate corruption among the senior ranks of the military; to improve education and health care; and to review land and investment policies. I ran the paper under harsh conditions. Intimidation and threats were a part of life.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">In September 2001 Isaias silenced the independent media, shuttering private newspapers and arresting reporters and editors. Several prominent public figures, including former politicians and respected war veterans, all of whom had signed an open letter calling for democratic reforms, were arrested in a series of police raids. By Sept. 25 the authorities had arrested at least 10 reporters and editors. They have remained incarcerated without due process since 2001; five are confirmed dead and no one knows the fate of the others, not even their families.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Some 20,000 Eritreans now live in the Greater Toronto Area. Harassment and fear have followed many of them here. The Eritrean consulate in Canada asks them to provide T4 slips and other Canada Revenue Agency documents as proof of their Canadian income. The government of Eritrea then uses this information to impose an additional 2-per-cent tax on their incomes. Refusal to pay results in the withholding of basic documents such as educational records and birth and marriage certificates. Family members in Eritrea find their applications for business licence renewals declined. Even those who need nothing from the Eritrean government are approached and intimidated by agents of the regime to pay the tax.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">The UN has sanctioned Eritrea for its support of Al Shabaab, the insurgent group in neighbouring Somalia with alleged links to Al Qaeda. Last December, a UN Security Council resolution condemned “Eritrea’s use of the ‘diaspora tax’ . . . to destabilize the Horn of Africa region . . . and decided that Eritrea shall cease those practices. It further decided that Eritrea shall stop using extortion, threats of violence, fraud and other illicit means to collect taxes outside of Eritrea from its nationals or other individuals of Eritrean descent.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">The tax continues to be collected, however, and Eritrean Canadians could be forgiven for wondering who governs them here in Canada. The Canadian government must act to create a secure environment for their citizens of Eritrean descent. It must also pressure the Isaias regime to honour basic human rights norms, and to release the incarcerated journalists. When the government of our adopted land is willing to defend these rights, perhaps then we will truly have a reason to celebrate.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><em><strong>Aaron Berhane</strong> is an award-winning journalist and editor-in-chief and publisher of the Eritrean Canadian newspaper Meftih. He is also one of PEN Canada’s Writers-in-Exile.</em></span></p>

		<description><![CDATA[Birds of Eastern Africa: Updated Edition (Princeton Illustrated Checklists) by Ber van Perlo [Princeton University Press; 2009: Amazon UK; Amazon US] 
This is a fully updated edition of the only pocket guide that illustrates and describes all 1,487 bird species of eastern Africa, an area that includes Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, and Yemen&#8217;s Socotra Island. This huge region&#8217;s rich birdlife includes some of the most colorful species anywhere on earth &#8212; including ostriches, albatrosses, boobies, lovebirds, parrots, parakeets, kingfishers, and bee-eaters. The 96 color plates group similar species and subspecies, and the text directly opposite the plates describes each bird&#8217;s habitat and key physical, behavioral, and vocal characteristics. Distribution maps show the range and frequency of each species. This is an indispensable guide for any birder who wants to explore eastern Africa&#8217;s wealth of birds.

<span style="font-size: 16px;"> Once there was a brilliant comic filmmaker who ignored the typical rules his colleagues played by and produced some of the great film comedies of his time, often poking fun at the social ideas of the world around him. For his first move away from his typical style he decided to take on his largest target yet, a brutal dictator whose protestations of peace were obviously at odds with his actions and who was ripe to be taken down a peg. He concocted a plot wherein he would play both the dictator and the simpleton double who replaces him as the ruler and is sent out into the world he thinks he commands.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> Obviously I&#8217;m talking about Sasha Baron Cohen&#8217;s &#8221;The Dictator.&#8221;</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> Okay, no I&#8217;m not. I&#8217;m talking about Charlie Chaplin and &#8221;The Great Dictator,&#8221; but the surface similarities are obvious. Those similarities end just under the surface, of course, and it should surprise no one that Sasha Baron Cohen is no Charlie Chaplin. What he is, is possessed of a particular genius for social satire which he makes work through a performance artist&#8217;s devotion to his act regardless of context. It helps that he picks extremely easy targets, like America&#8217;s schizophrenic reaction to homosexuality in &#8221;Bruno.&#8221;</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> He&#8217;s picked another in &#8221;The Dictator,&#8221; taking a collection of traits of some of the most well known modern tyrants – Hussein, Qaddafi, a little bit of Kim Jong-il – and exaggerating them just enough to be able to ask the question of how could developed nations ever have treatied with people like this as if they were normal, rational individuals?</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> An easy point well-made is still well-made, even if the target is large, and Cohen and frequent collaborator Larry Charles have shown an understanding that real jokes need real teeth to be truly funny.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> The big change this time around is the context. Cohen and Charles have left behind the mockumentary style of their previous efforts, where the jokes mostly focused on making fun of people who did not realize they were being made fun of, and moved into the purely fictional realm.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> In this realm Cohen is Admiral General Aladeen, a composite dictator of typically oil rich North African nation (the fictional Wadiya, slapped more or less on top of Eritrea) who is trying to secretly militarize under the UN&#8217;s nose despite being exceptionally incompetent. After his uncle (Sir Ben Kingsley, who seems willing to take any job for money) has him kidnapped and replaced by an imposter, Aladeen is left wandering the streets of New York, trying to find some way to reclaim his place before his beloved Wadiya is turned into a democracy and taken away from him forever.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> Mostly what it is, is an excuse for Cohen to spout blisffuly offensive statements to everyone around him. This sort of thing worked, more or less, in his previous films because you could believe the reactions of real people when faced with this sort of ridiculousness. &#8221;The Dictator,&#8221; fixing more directly to tried and true Hollywood comedic formula, is less successful. Instead of reactions you can believe in, you get people like Zoey (Anna Farris), the absurdly intellectual-feminist-vegan store owner stereotype Aladeen ends up working for and slowly bonding with despite himself.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> She, and almost everyone else except former nuclear scientist turned sidekick Nadal (Jason Mantzoukas), let everything Aladeen says and does pass right over them. Because to question the premise would be to end the movie and while Cohen is willing to do almost anything in the name of his craft, being truly original isn&#8217;t one of those things.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> And even at a zippy sub-90 minutes, &#8221;The Dictator&#8221; only has so much satire to go around, with much of it contained in a blistering monologue towards the climax which should make any self-respecting State Department official of the last 15 years squirm uncomfortably.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> He&#8217;s had to fill the rest of the film with some traditionally American clichés, including Aladeen&#8217;s unwilling romance with Anna Faris&#8217; Zoey and a preponderance of low-brow anatomical humor that may or may not be your cup of tea. Cohen&#8217;s devotion to going further than the other guy makes even some of his low-brow work arrive on target – particularly a recurring sight gag about a decapitated head – but he misses as often as he hits. And when he misses, he misses WIDE. The resulting film swings rapidly between biting political satire and the worst of Adam Sandler autopilot &#8221;comedies.&#8221;</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> When &#8221;The Dictator&#8221; is funny, it&#8217;s really funny. And when it&#8217;s not funny, it&#8217;s really, really not funny. Ultimately, trying to squeeze Cohen&#8217;s particular sense of humor into typical Hollywood claptrap is a bit like trying to push a square peg into a round hole, and works about as well.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> Cohen&#8217;s mockumentary and social satire tastes may not be everyone&#8217;s cup of tea, but there can be no doubt he knows what he&#8217;s about in that milieu. The formula of &#8221;The Dictator&#8221; is unfortunately, painfully, not a good fit. Off with its head.</span></p>

		<description><![CDATA[The isolated and impoverished country of Eritrea is now the most censored country on the globe, according to new rankingsfrom the Committee to Protect Journalists.
Under President Isaac Afewerki, who has led Eritrea since it wrested its independence from Ethiopia nearly two decades ago, the heavily militarized East African nation has clamped down on dissent. Foreign reporters are shut out. All media are  controlled by the government.
It didn’t used to be that way. Eritrean journalist-in-exile Aaron Berhane published an independent newspaper in Eritrea before the government shut down private media in 2001, angered by criticism of the regime.
Now living in Canada, Berhane publishes a newspaper for the Eritrean community there, providing local news and relaying what information he can from his home country, which suffers from drought and hunger and the constant threat of forced labor imposed by its authoritarian government.
With journalists in the country unwilling or unable to speak out, Berhane talked to The Times about his brushes with censorship in his homeland before he went into hiding and escaped.

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Under President Isaac Afewerki, who has led Eritrea since it wrested its independence from Ethiopia nearly two decades ago, the heavily militarized East African nation has clamped down on dissent. Foreign reporters are shut out. All media are  controlled by the government.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">It didn’t used to be that way. Eritrean journalist-in-exile Aaron Berhane published an independent newspaper in Eritrea before the government shut down private media in 2001, angered by criticism of the regime.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Now living in Canada, Berhane publishes <a href="http://www.meftih.ca/" target="_blank">a newspaper</a> for the Eritrean community there, providing local news and relaying what information he can from his home country, which suffers from drought and hunger and the constant threat of forced labor imposed by its authoritarian government.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">With journalists in the country unwilling or unable to speak out, Berhane talked to The Times about his brushes with censorship in his homeland before he went into hiding and escaped.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><em>Before your paper in Eritrea was shut down, were you threatened for your reporting?</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Threats and intimidation were part and parcel of our life. It was very common for me to be summoned to the police station once or twice a week to answer very trivial questions. “Why did you write this? Who was your source?”  Some of the generals called and told you, “Watch it. It is not time to talk about this now.” The intimidation was there all the time. But it was not as open at the beginning.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Once we published an open letter from 15 officials criticizing the president and calling for democratic reform. It was a kind of turning point. It changed the political environment of the country. I was summoned to the police station and interrogated. I was asked, “Who gave you that letter?” And I told them, “What’s the point? The name of those officials are listed at the bottom of the letter.” They said, “No, we want to know who gave you the letter.” They interrogated me for three or four hours just to get the answer, who actually gave me the letter? I didn’t give them any name.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">After that the intimidation really increased. One day in September 2001 I wrote an editorial that said many things about the government. When I got home that night around 10 p.m., two security agents were waiting for me in front of my home, in the shadows.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">I got out of my car and they came out and approached me. Their faces were covered. One of them put a gun on my chest and he told me, “We came to give you advice.” I asked him, “Who are you?” They said, “We are concerned Eritreans. If you keep criticizing the government, this is going to be your final byline.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">It was very scary. I could feel the tip of the gun on my ribs. I just waited and they told me, “Keep quiet.” And they left.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><a id="more" name="more"></a>It was a very scary time, June to September. A week after the World Trade Center was attacked they  shut down all independent newspapers and arrested the senior officials who wrote the open letter. Two days later they came to arrest us.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">But as soon as my paper was shut down, I never slept at my home. I was hiding myself. I wouldn’t be seen in any public places where I used to hang out. When they came to arrest me I was not at home. I managed to escape after hiding myself for more than three months &#8212; to be exact 104 days.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">It was like a prison. I was just staying in one room. I didn’t know what to do. There was no way I could escape because my picture was distributed in all checkpoints. My sources told me not even to try.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">All my colleagues were arrested. Finally I managed to flee. Two of us, with the help of a guide, we tried to cross the border. At the border we were encountered by the Eritrean patrolling army. They opened fire. My colleague and the guide were captured. It was only me who managed to escape. As we speak there are <a href="http://en.rsf.org/IMG/CLASSEMENT_2012/C_GENERAL_ANG.pdf" target="_blank">30 journalists</a> in Eritrea in prison now, some from private media, some from government media.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><em>How do you keep up with what&#8217;s happening in Eritrea?</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">It is very difficult. The government deliberately restricts the use of Internet. To send one email it takes forever. People don’t really use the internet as they wish. You can chat a bit, but still it’s not easy. Sometimes you speak using different codes. You try to be creative. But it is always risky for someone who lives in Eritrea to give you some concrete information.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Eritrea is the worst country to be a journalist. There are no journalists now because the journalists who work for the government, they are like civil servants. They can’t operate as journalists. They have to write how they are told to write. One just fled from Eritrea to Ethiopia and he articulated how difficult it is to work as a journalist in Eritrea: &#8221;If you see black and they tell you this is red, you have to put it that way. If you see people are dying with hunger, you can’t write that. Just say they’re doing very well.&#8221; The editor cuts all the things that could damage the image of the government. The government is focusing on keeping its image. But it doesn’t care about the life of the people or where this country is headed.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><em>Do you see any possibilities for change?</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">I am an optimistic person. People are really fed up. They are controlled by this dictator and this regime, so they keep quiet. But the government Is struggling financially. The health of the president is getting weaker. The relationship that he has with the international community and its neighbors is at its lowest stage. We expect to see some results very soon.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><em>Now that you’re publishing a newspaper in Canada, what do you think of the media here?</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">In Eritrea there is government media and it works for the government. it works to paint a good picture. It is a propaganda machine. And the private media in Eritrea were very dedicated to serving the people; they had very little resources but they were doing amazing work to expose wrongdoings.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">In the Western world, there is a public media &#8212; here it is CBC &#8212; it is not controlled by the government but it is a public media. It serves the people. It is not dominated by advertising. It raises social issues, economic issues and it has educational information which is fantastic. The private or independent media is owned by corporations here. Journalists can write whatever they want, but they don’t seem to want something that could offend the corporations.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><em>How about the coverage of Eritrea &#8212; if there is coverage of Eritrea?</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Thirty journalists are in prison in Eritrea and you hardly see coverage about what is going on in. Eritrea doesn’t have any economic link with Canada and its population is small, so maybe they assume readers are not interested. But it’s a wrong assumption. People want to know what is going on in the world. You really want the media to speak more about what is going on &#8212; not just once or twice a year.</span></p>
