The entire Eritrean football team disappeared in Kenya directly after the team was knocked out from a tournament in the capital Nairobi. The Guardian reported that the escapees will join the thousands of Eritrean who flee their home each year to escape a paranoid and repressive regime.
The regime thoughts that the requirement of posting a bond of thousands of dollars will make them come back to a country govern by a cruel regime, forgetting that others who are not fortune enough to travel with a football team are paying several thousands of dollar to flee Eritrea.
When an entire football team defects it becomes a huge embarrassment for the regime and a big blow to its efforts to improve its ugly face latest meeting of UN human rights council. Now we hope that these young people will get all help they need from Eritreans around the world.
