Deported Eritrean diplomat sneaks back to Kenya and is arrested
Editors comment: Why on earth would a country sneak back its diplomat once he was deported unless he has unfinished business of terrorism? These ungrateful bandits don't have a shred of self respect, do they? They tried to sneak back to Ethiopia hiding behind Somali women’s dresses but the heroic Ethiopian army uncovered them, humiliated them and taught them a lesson they will never forget. Now they are trying to do the same in Kenya, well it does not look like they are having any luck there either. How shameful! Click to comment
