        Shame on you to pick up this garbage article. We know why you upset. The servant #TPLF that hold hostage both people for 20 years from making peace is NOT in charge anymore. #Eritrea & #Ethiopia have proved to the world that peace is possible without the west interferences.

        "North Korea of Africa" is disingenuous colloquialism invented to cement the conjured image of rogue state. Characterizing a self-defending victim as morally bankrupt and deplorable aggressor.

        Quite literally the worst article on #Eritrea and #Ethiopia written this year. Eritrea's efforts to promote and embrace peace should applauded, not scorned. The work of @fergalkeane47 screams of white male privilege, out of touch with the times. According to BBC's @mary_harper:pic.twitter.com/LUoIsDli5o

        One reason to create and empower African based TV or media ... @BBCWorld @BBCAfrica is the most corrupt and biased media outlet towards #Africa and #Africans .. Now that everyone has access to news and reality at the tip of their fingers Africans should #BoycottBBC

        Really, BBC? That North Korea trope again? A tone deaf take on momentous events in #Eritrea if there ever was one.

        Sounds an outdated broken record @BBCAfrica stuck on North Korea when the country has stepped up its image @ Singapore😄 #MSM are hurting at having missed the boat that has sailed without them #Eritrea & #Ethiopia will no longer fall prey to their meddling

        Same on you #BBC. You are surely gone into bankruptcy. Everyday has its tomorrow. How hard is it to be concious about the fact today had been the future for many days that gauged path to this lasting peace between #Eritrea and #Ethiopia . Get out from your colonial bubbel #UK.
