Also, pointed  to that "Sudan was the first country that acknowledge Eretria after the plebiscite and many political and social agreements had been sighed with Sudan, moreover Sudan government had crucial stand against the Eritrean opposition that was planning to stand against the development of the country, sadly the Sudanese opposition found a place to be active in Eritrea"

Egypt Support to Eretria:

This question in this matter was very important and Dr. Hassan comment was "the Eritrean government always invest in the disagreements between countries ( Sudan , Egypt) and (Egypt, Ethiopia), so they teamed  up with Egypt to find a place in the puzzle"  ;he added that " the Eritrean nation was surprised by this new development in the relation between Eretria and Egypt and , they start asking what is the benefit of this new relation and the answer was, there is no logical explanation of that and Eretria have acted  without thinking about the outcome  and the strategic relation with other countries and in all the cases, the loser is Eretria" also he pointed that " the main reason of the new bond will benefit Egypt in the first place , which is to make Sudan not focus with Ethiopia"
The Last Visit of Afwerki to Egypt:
Dr. Hassan comment  that "the main target of this visit was  to make agreements with Egypt to cool things down and to search for solutions, because Eretria found itself in a very bad situation after closing the borders"
