Eritrea President Isaias Afewerki goes on TV to dispel health rumors
Eritrea's President Isaias Afewerki (July 2011) Isaias Afewerki spent many years in the bush fighting for Eritrean independenc

Eritrea's president has made an appearance on national TV to dispel rumours he is either dead or ailing.

"I do not have any kind of sickness," Isaias Afewerki said.

He accused those peddling such rumors of being "sick" themselves and said they were indulging in psychological warfare to "disturb" the people.

Mr Isaias, 66, has led Eritrea since its independence in 1993 from Ethiopia - but faces criticism for failing to implement democratic reforms.

Information Minister Ali Abdu earlier told the BBC the rumors, which began about a week ago, were the work of groups wishing to destabilize the country.

The rumors on various opposition websites and on social media noted that the president had not appeared on television for nearly a month, which they believed was unusual.

His interrogators were surprised to find that hidden in his underpants were a digital storage device and memory cards.
Buried inside them was a pornographic video called "Kick [deleted]" -- and a file marked "Sexy Tanja."
