Seyoum is highly mistaken about the bill and its effect on Ethiopia.

Seyoum has been clearly manifested in his recent interview.

Describing the challenge as complex, Ato Seyoum said Eritrea is small country which appears to have the grandiose ambition of a major power and which has no respect for international law at all.

Continuing his speech, Ato Seyoum said his government deeply regrets that this crisis which was imposed on Ethiopia by Eritrea has coincided with the development of an extremely dangerous situation that has come to affect the Great Lakes Region, a region whose political instability has enormous implications for Africa as a whole and beyond, and which has witnessed recently the most barbaric genocide in recent history.
