Eritrea loses Dutch aid

The Netherlands has decided to end aid to Eritrea due to the political situation in the African country.

Development minister Bert Koenders on Friday informed the Dutch house of representatives of the decision to end aid to Albania, Armenia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Cape Verde, Eritrea, Macedonia, and Sri Lanka.

In his letter to the house, the development minister emphasized the importance of a political dimension to the aid relationship.

This enables the discussion of corruption, the position of women, refugees and abortion.

The aid provided to South Asian island of Sri Lanka and Eritrea will be ended due to the political situation, Dutch authorities said.
