Asmara, 27 December 2006 – President Isaias Afwerki said that talk about Somalia becoming a racing ground between Eritrea and Ethiopia emanates from ignorance about the real situation in Somalia. He made the statement in an interview with Aljazeera TV today.

Stating that the current situation in Somalia is the result of the intervention of foreign forces, particularly Ethiopia, the President noted that the Somali people are facing challenges in their home-grown popular struggle to achieve peace and stability after the experience they had acquired from the past 15 years.

Indicating that relations between the peoples of Eritrea and Somalis are rooted in brotherhood, good-neighborliness, and common struggle stretching over a period of more than a century, President Isaias pointed out that Eritrea respects the aspirations of the Somali people.

Fracking, the technology that opened up America's vast deposits of unconventional oil and gas, has moved beyond remote locations and landed at the front door, with oil operations now planned or under way in suburbs, mid-sized towns and large metropolitan areas. Some cities have moved to limit fracking or ban it outright – even in the heart of oil and gas country.
