Stop Scapegoating Eritrea! No Sanctions based on Lies!

The Issue

When President Obama ran for office, he campaigned for engagement, reconciliation and partnership with the rest of the world. Today, he says his foreign policy goals are guided by those same principles. So, why is his administration, led by his UN team, talking about sanctions against Eritrea on charges repeatedly proven to be groundless? Why are they so intent on scapegoating this young and exemplary nation for the disasters the U.S. administration have caused in Somalia? Is this really about Somalia? Is this another broken promise?
