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:

As someone of Eritrean descent myself, I can tell you that there is zero expectation in our communities that this diplomatic clamour for Eritrea will result in reform of any kind, that could enable us to visit our families at home. But the bare minimum is closure about the fate of an American, a child political prisoner who has spent nearly half her life incommunicado. I wonder if it's too much to expect the US press circle to bring this up as the US prepares for this foreign policy switch up.
