Minister of National Development Futur Woldai of Eritrea

Woldai expressed satisfaction with the efforts made by the newly rehabilitated citizens to rebuild their lives and said that the Government had allotted Nfa.

Dr Woldai said that the European Union had, for example, recently taken positions "against Eritrea", while "rewarding Ethiopia" with further development assistance, despite a "worse" human rights record there.

We didn't massacre people," Woldai said in reference to anti-government protests in Addis Ababa last year when dozens of students were killed by the Ethiopian military.
