Tragic stories from young Eritrean asylum seekers & refugees

Al Jazeera English - Activate - Eritrea Israel: No Place to Go

A Message to the world: On Behalf of Suffering Eritreans [video]

Testimony of human trafficking victim in Egypt who's life was saved by Israel - MU Currently there are thousands of Africans who are being tortured for ransom in Egypt's Sinai. These Africans, primarily Christian Eritrean refugees, were kidnapped by the Rashaida tribe from Sudan, purchased by Egyptians, and resold to Bedouins in the northern Sinai. Shackled and continuously tortured in dozens of makeshift torture camps, they are forced to call their relatives to raise funds for Hamas arms smugglers. Those who are unable to come up with the ransom money are murdered. To date, the Egyptian government chooses to do nothing to stop these atrocities

Compiled by Resoum Kida

The purpose of this compilation is to document all ghastly crimes and atrocities committed against the Eritrean youths in Libya, Egypt, Sudan, Israel and most recently in Sinai. Many of these crimes have been reported by journalists and human rights activists. For example in 2010 EL-ARISH, Egypt (Reuters) reported that a 26-year-old Eritrean was shot dead by Egyptian border police, in 2008 AI also reported that Samar Saddik Abkar was shot dead by Egyptian border police, in the early 2011 at least 86 women from Eritrea reported they were raped while in Sinai, this was reported by Diaa Hadid (CP) , similar story was also reported by A new Physicians for Human Rights - Israel (PHR-I), the most horrendous of these organised serious inhumane acts were committed in Sina by armed Bedouins (Arabs) and was publicised in October 2011reported by El Arish, Egypt (CNN) and other reporters . By and large in last 10 years, the younger Eritrean refugees faced forced deportations by the Libyan, Egyptian, Maltese and Sudanese regimes. Some were also killed by Egyptian border guards or tortured by the Bedouin tribes of the Sinai. Regrettably, the various opposition leaders have engaged in narrow power struggles disregarding these atrocities. Their elitist supporters continue to engage in cybercivil war in awate.com and other websites instead of uniting and liberating the Eritrean people from this autocratic regime without any delay.

Therefore, the youths are not merely victims of the PFDJ but also of the leaders of the opposition groups and their elitist supporters. In effect, they have realistically contributed to prolonging the life of this autocratic regime which has caused the deaths of thousands of Eritrean youths many in the Mediterranean Sea [video], Sahara desert [video] and Sinai deserts[video] while the victims have relentlessly sought to escape.

An Eritrean refugee talks about being tortured in Sinai –VIDEO Mat Heywood guardian.co.uk, Tuesday 14 February 2012

Mogos Redae was tortured by smugglers in the Egyptian Sinai region for nine months until his family sold their homes to raise enough money to secure his release – $14,000. A brutal trafficking industry has flourished over the past year in which Bedouin gangs, emboldened by their apparent impunity, extort higher and higher prices for kidnapped migrants -VIDEO

An Eritrean man who says he will be killed by an Egyptian trafficking gang in Sinai unless a $25,000 ransom is paid within days has spoken to the Today BBC programme's Mike Thomson[audio/text.
