Luigi Di Maio,   Foreign Minister   Dear President,   let's write to you again, on behalf of the Habeshia agency, after the appeal letter we sent to your predecessor on the eve of his trip to Asmara three years ago. This year 30th anniversary of independence, but another year of severe suffering and abuse suffered by the Eritrean people.

Vogliamo partire da un episodio accaduto proprio in questi giorni. Come certamente sa, il regime ha chiuso e preso possesso di nove scuole, più sette scuola già presi nel 2019 gestite da organizzazioni religiose, in maggioranza cattoliche ma anche cristiane protestanti e islamiche. Scuole completamente gratuite, frequentate dai ragazzi delle famiglie più ...
