I wasn't personally familiar with this, but apparently there is an audio recording made by Semere Ghebremariam O. Micael, who was the head of the Eritrean Consulate General in Ontario, of a presentation made on April 21, 2013, in which Mr. Micael apparently informed the gathering that Eritrean citizens would be precluded from investing in Eritrea unless they paid the 2% tax.
Were you aware of the existence of that audio recording?
