The Eritrean government has welcomed the impending removal of the country from a blacklist of nations that the US accuses of "not fully co-operating" with anti-terrorism efforts.
Information Minister Yemane Gebremeskel told the BBC that the "categorisation was erroneous” in the first place, adding that the country's removal from the list was “better late than never”.
