Eritrea "signed Alexander Strategy Group, a firm with strong Republican ties, to a contract worth more than $300K a year to improve its ties with the United States." According to Amnesty International, "torture, arbitrary detention, 'disappearances' and ill-treatment of political prisoners" are common in the Horn of Africa nation. Human Rights Watch reports, "The Eritrean government has lobbied the United States to use Eritrea's Red Sea ports as military bases in the war against terrorism." The contract "forbids the [Alexander Strategy Group] from discussing its work without the consent of Eritrea." The Alexander Strategy Group's other clients include the Nuclear Energy Institute, Blackwater USA and PhRMA.
