        @EriRevoltMay24 Will Eritrea follow the example of the United States and continue to levy taxes on them in their new land of residence?

        .@USCitizenAbroad The Eritrean regime always does that, in fact, they use the US as a justification for taxing the diaspora. #extortion

        @EriRevoltMay24 Yes, but Eritrea tax is only 2%. US tax is confiscatory. Unfair to Eritrea to compare it to US

        @USCitizenAbroad Very true. Eritrea doesn't criminalize one for not paying the 2% tax, while in the US they imprison you. @EriRevoltMay24
