Thank you, Mr. Chair.
With such a wide open situation of human rights abuses, it's hard to even focus on one specific area. I note that Nevsun's website says they harvested 379,000 ounces of gold in 2011, and yet two-thirds of the population is malnourished. It would be interesting to hear the math on that, Mr. Chair. I think it would probably be a good idea if we were to check for a consensus at the end of this meeting regarding calling the president of Nevsun as a witness.
One of the things I'm puzzled about in particular is the countries that are around Eritrea. My understanding is that Eritrea has a reputation for being a real tormentor in the region, with al-Shabaab and insurgents going into different countries.
I have two quick questions. Why would they return these refugees when they could harm the regime by allowing these refugees—by giving them the capability—to at least move to another country and seek UNHCR support? You mentioned Israel at least once, maybe twice, with respect to Eritrean refugees trying to make it to Israel.
Has there been a significant contribution on Israel's part in receiving Eritrean refugees?
