The document stresses the need to use the regional body Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) as a cover for Ethiopia's activities against Eritrea.

Green Eritrea: Rainy Season 2011

Eritrea's detractors have continue to lie left and right about life in Eritrea.  Some lies are easier to disprove than others and most have been easily disproved.  Yet, it has not stopped them from telling every imaginable lie that will stick.

One lie told in the summer of 2011 was that there was drought in Eritrea and the government was hiding it.  Here is a BBC article titled "Drought in Eritrea: Hunger despite government denials".  Eritrea gets over 100,000 Eritrean's visiting their homeland every year and they travel all over the country.  Here is a youtube video disproving this one big fat lie from someone that visited that year.

From description on youtube: "Outsiders may claim that Eritrea is affected by drought and insist on forcing famine on Eritrea. But the 2011 rainy seasons (ክራማት) in Eritrea saw a fair distribution of rainfall. Crops in most of parts of the country are in good condition promising another bumper harvest year. Harvest gathering for this year has already begun, crops grown in Eritrea include lintels, beans, barley, millet, wheat, sorghum, and taff."

Rebuilding Railways - Eritrea

April 1996 Antiquated, iron trains have stood abandoned for 20 years during Eritrea's war with Ethiopia. Now an army of veteran rail workers and their new apprentices are coaxing them back to life.

The Eritrean people are determined to reconstruct their dilapidated railway without any outside help. In the hot, dusty hills, they rescue the old rails from bunkers used during the war. All 169,000 steel sleepers have to be dug up from the ground, straightened and hauled back to the original track. They aim to complete 120 km of track, snaking from the coast to the capital. Transport Minister, Giorgis Teklemikael, says Eritrea's self-reliance and 'can do' philosophy will prevail. A train operating between Massawa and its suburbs is the first sign of success.
