Apparently, although Ethiopia has apparently “changed” its stance towards Eritrea (actively seeking its downfall, although whether or not this is a change can be legitimately debated), the arms embargo by the United Nations has continued. In fact this brings to light a very real, and if gone unchecked, dangerous rejection of the UN Charter:
I think it is important that before any major decision, particularly one that can be charged with emotion, that one take pause, reflect, then come to a decision. It is in the this vein that I waited to discuss the actions that have been taken against Eritrea by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) at the end of last year.1 The most common talking point taken from the resolution is that of the arms sanction on Eritrea (note paragraph 5) and it is on this point that we ought to focus.
