Eritrean representative thrown out of
IGAD meeting in Ethiopia

The six-country Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) on Wednesday blocked Eritrea's representative from attending a ministerial meeting on Somalia.

Eritrea reactivated its membership to the bloc after four years of self-suspension, a decision initially welcomed by the IGAD secretariat.

But the country's deputy ambassador to the African Union, Benyam Berhe, was in Addis Ababa told that his country's membership status was still under review by the bloc's heads of states.


Ministers and diplomats meeting then resisted the envoy's concerted efforts to remain in the meeting room.

"We did not invite Eritrea to this meeting and he appeared in the hall by his own motive," IGAD secretary general Mahbub Mualem told the Africa Review.

Mr Mualem said Eritrea's membership would be discussed in any upcoming head of states meeting and that the horn of African remained suspended from all IGAD activities.

The IGAD chief also pointed out that the organisation had proposed to the UN further sanctions on Eritrea and that the case was under discussion in New York.

As such, it would not be easy for Eritrea to directly rejoin the bloc.

"We have ample evidence to show Eritrea's negative role in this region, and we had earlier called on Asmara to rejoin the bloc but they rejected this," said Mr Mualem.

"Why now? They know the UN is preparing for further sanctions." The UN Security Council is preparing to vote on adopting a report that accuses increasingly isolated Asmara of working to destabilise the Horn of Africa region, including financing armed groups in Somalia, Sudan and Djibouti.

South Sudan has also applied for membership to IGAD and this will be decided on by the organisation's heads of state before the end of this year

    Igad is an uneffective organization. Look the video exactlly how this representative of this foolish organization is talking. He is ignoring his own charter. Eritrea have not left their membership, but it freeze. Thatsway by the law of the Igad (check the Charter) have the right to come back. But the secritary of this unnessery organization mybe dont know that or he is a puppet of Ethiopia.

    Man... this is not the way we should treat eachother. Wether this person showed up an invited or not...you don't treat someone like that. I know most Eriterians hate us Ethiopians but becoming like them is not a way to live. I see that Ethiopia is tirelessly working hard to get the UN to put sanctions on the Erterian minning industry and remitance. That is just evil.

    Woyane clearly showing how paranoid and desperate they are! they should be ashamed of themselves the way they are conducting IGAD affairs. sooner or later the truth will come out.
    when they couldn't bully the UNSC members to put sanctions on Eritrea, they come back to their little grouping to abuse Eritrea. the shame is on Woyane, not the young, intelligent and good looking diplomat from Eritrea.

    It will be a reckless acquisition, to assume any bad information about Eritrea. I am not from Eritrea, but this guy can be Ethiopian born-Eritrean lover, maybe that is why he is doing this. Thus, it's wrong to make any judgment just because some idiot were a suit and pretend to be a representative. Ethiopia we weren't colonized by Italy, but we are dame smarter then this.

    Is there an IGAD constitution? What is procedure on re-admitted a nation? How long does that process take?

    Based on the IGAD leader's statement, the Eritrean government wrote him a letter stating their desire to re-activate their membership a while ago, what's that "while" period? How come he did not get around convening a meeting amongst the leaders? Very ambiguous statement.

    As mentioned several times by the journalist that he was just "an individual", I repeat an individual, who was referring to himself as Eritrean representative, how would we know that he was from Eritrea nor a legitimate ambassador from Eritrea?

    Don't you think it's *** to believe that the Eritrean goverment would send a single individual all the way from Eritrea to Addis Abeba by himself?
