        I can hear the uproar that would arise from all #MSM #NGOs #HumanRights activists #faith reps and all such footsoldiers, if #Eritrea were to shut a single place of worship in the country.

        You are absolutely Right Haftey! We all remember the fake news about the closure of Asmara university. Some are still crying about it even when Asmara university is graduating students every year.

        I think this is one of the best initiatives !!! The noise from these church can raise the dead yet they can’t raise the dead economy in #Africa and its environs!!!

        The Catholic church is the most organized body in congo, so churches are a threat to Kagame's dictatorial regime.Gathering is a crime in Rda
