So, we know the US has extended an olive branch to Asmara, because of a leaked document seen by Reuters. What we don't know is if there's any effort by the Trump admin to capitalize on an opportunity to learn about Ciham and rescue her.
Is she even on the agenda?

In the days and weeks to come, what is currently a hush hush behind the scenes diplomatic maneuver by western states to bring Eritrea back from the cold, will become public. We'll need the scrutiny then. LA native Ciham Ali Abdu has now been disappeared for 13 years, 5 months, one day and counting. She'd be 29 years old today. The Eritrean human rights advocacy group One Day Seyoum have been campaigning for her release for years. Their website: https://onedayseyoum.org/ciham
