Ethiopia condemns Italy’s position on Eritrea’s subversive role in the Horn
The Ministry said Italy has come out in defense of Eritrea’s subversive activities in the Horn.
It said Italy has never condemned Eritrea’s continuous violent acts of destabilization in the sub-region despite the numerous resolutions of the UN and IGAD to that effect.
The Ministry said Italy knows full well Eritrea’s support for terrorist activities in the sub region which over the years have caused the loss of civilian lives including Italian tourists.
Italy’s lack of genuine concern for such matters of grave concern to the region and the international community as a whole is indeed baffling, it said.
This behavior of Italy demonstrates that it is not willing and capable of playing a constructive role in the Horn of Africa, the Ministry said.
The Italian government should know that as far as Ethiopian people are concerned, the Algiers Agreement is null and void; there is no compelling reasons that force us to abide by it.
