Ali Abdu seeking asylum in Canada?


Is it true that Minister of Information Ali Abdu is seeking asylum in Canada?

Assenna has the story:

By now it is common knowledge in Eritrea that his wife sought asylum in Canada a few years ago, and subsequently gave birth to their child in the U.S. so that he could become a U.S. citizen. But it would be quite a surprise if this loyal PFDJ spokesman was joining the thousands who have defected...but you never know what will come next out of this country.

It has been reposted here:

But for now the only source is www.assenna.com, which is not necessarily the more accurate source of news from Eritrea.

Can anyone confirm or deny the report?
