Selam Tesfay. Stifanos and Dehai,
Before yesterday at luch time at the school I teach I was reading " The
Toronto Star" Then I read the following. Ghidewon or others could you
please check it if Eritrea is memeber of this organization.
Stifanos mArey, I do agree with you that no economy can function well
without good infrastructure that is why we don't see Investers going to
QoHain or hzemo and anywhere else to the rural area of Eritrea un less
few of them.
It is true also we know Eritrea needs new infrastructures so its economy
can succeed in the information age which computers and this is to include
the infrastructure of telecommunications and networks.We I think understand
the role of computers, therefore, we have to be connected to the rest of
the world.
P.S Let me go before my kids are looking for me I will be in your
disscussion the role computers technology in general)
This from the News paper.
World Trade organization scraps all computer tariffs.
Geneva (Reuter) Trade superpowers and developing nations clinched a
sweeping $500Billion deal yesterday to scrap tariffs in information
technology products.A total of 39 countries, including Canada, committed
themselves to pact, which will cut iffs on all technology by the year
