Kimeumana! Eritrean Information Minister Blasts Kenya Over ‘Eritrean Forced Polygamy’ Hoax… Leading Newspaper On The Receiving End

“Eritrea now forces men to marry at least two wives or face imprisonment”. That was the headline that was first published on a Kenyan daily which went viral worldwide.

Celebrations in Kenya were rudely interrupted after news from Eritrea confirmed the government wasn’t forcing men to marry at least two wives.

News about Eritrean forced polygamy was first published on Crazy Monday, a pullout in the Standard newspaper.

The story exploded to trend worldwide compelling Eritrean government had to respond to set the record straight.

Eritrean Information Minister, Yemane Gebremeskel, blasted the Kenyan news outlet which published the fabricated story.

Yemane tweeted to express his fury and dissatisfaction with the article which he said was an illustration of vileness of the dark forces.

“The media frenzy to parrot this ludicrous, fabricated and trite story… is appalling”. The story illustrates the vileness of the dark forces of disinformation and proclivity of others to readily embrace the negative narrative on Eritrea”. Gebremeskel tweeted.
