In previous interviews you have said that you edit content for maximum impact and protection of sources, with more information available eventually if not all. On twitter Wikileaks stated that they have information on Trump, but have decided not to release it. Why would any organization seeking to bring clarity and not influence release as much information on one party's candidate as they can, and withhold from another?

I am half-eritrean, and I spent 4 years there when I was a kid. I lived there from 2003 to 2007 while my father worked in Sudan providing aid to the SPLA. Honestly, Esias is the issue with Eritrea. He is the dictator, and the majority of his generals dont even like him. The people of Eritrea are some of the nicest people I have ever come into contact with, and the majority of them are pro-american. Eritrea has NOT been treated well by the United States. This is due to their support for Ethiopia, and lack of care for anything that Ethiopia does to its surrounding countries. edit: Isias Afewerki is the president/dictator of Eritrea. The majority of people fleeing Eritrea are leaving due to his cruel policies towards religion, and the youth of the country leave because they dont want to spend a year or two in Sawa. Sawa is part of the required military training that everyone has to face at a certain age in Eritrea. They will literally pick you up off the streets and deport you there if you try to avoid going. Its a cruel place in desert-like conditions.
