#Eritrea - A major Signpost on the Road to Independence: Operation Fenqil

*"...The Battle of Massawa stands as a testament to strategic vision, resilience, and the ability of a well-organized liberation movement to overcome superior numbers and advanced weaponry. Unlike Afabet, which had demonstrated the EPLF’s growing military capabilities, Massawa showcased the organization’s capacity for complex joint operations, integrating land and naval forces to achieve decisive results. It also marked a turning point in the psychological war, signaling to Ethiopian forces and the international community alike that Eritrean independence was no longer a distant dream but an impending reality".

*"...In retrospect, the fall of Massawa exemplifies the confluence of strategy, morale, and historical necessity in shaping the outcome of protracted liberation struggles. The battle reaffirmed that disciplined organization, local knowledge, and strategic innovation could decisively overcome a conventionally superior force. Eritrea’s eventual independence was the culmination of these victories – a hard-won triumph born of decades of struggle, tactical brilliance, and unyielding determination".

Potemkin Party's declared "war manifesto" seems to be morphing - through constant packaging and re-packaging - into "the aggrieved party" mode these days.

Indeed, the incessant and toxic mantra on "acquiring sovereign access to the sea by force if necessary .. the imperative to project naval power in the Red Sea.. the revisionist and blasphemous pronouncements on Eritrea's independence...etc. " that the war-mongering PP has been floating for the last two years has been temporarily turned on "mute-mode" in the past few weeks.

The transparent ploy is designed to hoodwink public opinion by rationalizing the unprovoked and reckless war that the PP has been itching to unleash against Eritrea for the past two years as a "legitimate act of self defense".

This is the gist of the long and monotonous diatribe that PP's Foreign Minister delivered at a "Foreign Policy Forum" in Addis Ababa on Thursday this week whose central theme was on "Eritrea's perennial acts of destabilization against Ethiopia".

Strange as it may sound, PP's senior officials seem to suffer from acute deficits of institutional memory - they claim they are not able "to retrieve them from Cabinet, Parliamentary and other archives". In the event and to refresh the memories of the FM and his Potemkin Party colleagues in a broad-brash and snapshot manner, we will dwell on the following indelible historical facts:

1. Eritrea's three decades war of national liberation was sparked because Ethiopia unilaterally abrogated the sham Federation and annexed Eritrea in flagrant contravention of international law. The Federal Act itself was a blatant violation of Eritrea's inalienable rights of decolonization. Ethiopia's surrogate role in the original illicit act; annexation, and intermittent relapse of its expansionist and irredentist agendas were, and continue to remain, the singular causes of the periodic conflicts that have raged between the two countries.
2. In a nutshell, Eritrea has invariably been on the receiving end for the costly and unnecessary conflicts that successive Ethiopian regime have and continue to unleash because they covet their neighbour's land and endowments.
2. The vicious 1998-2000 border war between the two countries was unleashed by the incumbent Ethiopian regime under the putative pretext of "dispute on Badme and its environs". Although they are singing to a different tune these days, PP's senior officials - including the current Army Chief of Staff - confessed only four years ago that they were ashamed and embarrassed at the time when the Parliament accused Eritrea for aggression and declared war in May 1998 while the army had been given explicit instructions to unleash war weeks earlier. The maximalist agenda of the war went beyond regaining the "disputed territory". In the early weeks of the war, the then Deputy Foreign Minister, Tekeda Alemu, publicly announced to a gathering of the Ethiopian community in Washington that "capturing Assab" was one of the central objectives of the war. During the 3rd Offensive, the Ethiopian regime halted the US-EU facilitated negotiations in Algiers while the Ethiopian army launched a massive military assault on Assab with disastrous consequences. Ethiopia signed the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement only after, and because of, this debacle. The Moratorium on Air Strikes brokered by President Clinton in July 1998; the Technical Arrangements; the Algiers Agreement, and later the EEBC Award were violated by incumbent Ethiopian regimes because they were not sincerely committed to nurturing and consolidating good-neighbourly ties between the two countries on the basis of each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
3. The Potemkin Party is suffering from the same irredentist malaise with its current war agenda cloaked in "sovereign access to the sea". The accusation alluding to Eritrea's visceral stance and "Isaias doctrine" of fomenting perpetual "destabilization" of Ethiopia is too ludicrous to merit elaboration. Small Eritrea must indeed have Providential powers if it is potent enough to destabilize its much larger neighbour for decades. The truth is the wars that are raging in virtually all of Ethiopia's Regions are incubated by the regime's own flawed governance architecture.
4. The FM further digresses to what has become normative among PP officials and trolls these days of disparaging Eritrea's economic endowments and growth as well as its governance architecture. Again, this is too audacious coming as it does from a country whose economy is overstressed and burdened by debilitating poverty in spite of over 84 billion US$ of receiving international development assistance over the last three decades; periodic IMF financial bailouts; and cyclical rounds of intensive care (Food Safety nets etc.). Currently, 21.4 million Ethiopian are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance, while 68.7% are multidimentionally poor. And as mentioned above, the country is seething under spiraling conflicts that emanate from misguided governance structures that polarize society along entrenched and centrifugal ethnic cleavages.

We could go on and on.. but it would be meaningless: "ዘረባ ኣደይ ለቱ፥ ኣየውፍር ኣየእቱ"፥ ስለዝኾነ እቲ ነገሩ!

#Eritrea's delegation, led by Mrs. Weini Gerezgiher, Charge d 'Affairs at the Eritrean Embassy in Saudi Arabia, is participating at 26th Session of the UN Tourism General Assembly convened in Riyadh.

In her address to the Assembly, Mrs. Weini underlined Eritrea's huge and multi-layered endowments in the sector as well as GOE's policy perspectives and programmes on developing the industry through a sustainable framework of cooperation and investment with its international and regional partners.

President Donald Trump has sent a letter to President Isaias Afwerki, on July 30 this week, underlining that he is "reversing the negative, harmful damage of the Biden Administration around the globe".

In his message that also expresses appreciation for President Isaias' letter of Congratulations of November last year, President Trump referred to his Administration's readiness to re-establish a respectful and productive national relationship between the US and Eritrea "based on honesty, respect, and opportunities to improve peace and prosperity across the Horn of Africa and the Red Sea".

As it will be recalled, President Isaias had sent a warm message of Congratulations to President Trump in November last year on his "historic comeback and election as the 47th President of the United States of America...at a very crucial time when global peace is of paramount importance more than ever before".

President Isaias had at the time expressed his hopes that President Trump's "election will open a new chapter of fruitful and constructive ties of cooperation between Eritrea and the US".

For some political groups in Ethiopia these days, their perilous obsession continues to revolve around futile packaging - sometimes too crass and couched in aggressive sabre-rattling; at other times advocated with seemingly historical/legal sophistry - to rationalize the toxic agenda of coveting and grabbing the sovereign territory of a neighbouring nation.

Let us stress, for the umpteenth time, that this is a political blashphemy of the highest order, and a red line that should not never be contemplated or crossed.

19th YPFDJ Euro Conference convened in Frankfurt, Germany, from 17-21 April under the theme: "Building on Triumph: Eritrea Focuses on Development".

Keynote address by the Ambassador of Eritrea to Italy, Mr. Fessehatzion Petros.

Vibrant panel discussions on a variety of relevant topics including appraisal of past experiences of the European Branch of the Youth Movement; the objectives and priorities of nation-building and development; as well as actionable plans for greater and effective contributions of the youth movements to all-rounded progress in their Homeland.

[Yemane G. Meskel 🇪🇷 @hawelti]

The extreme hysteria and commotion - bordering on lunacy - that continues to literally dominate and suffocate political discourse among self-styled activists/Eritrea-detractors in Ethiopia is mindboggling.

Their singular obession and infatuation remains gobbling up Eritrea's sovereign ports and coastal lands by any conceivable means.

To this end, their consensual modus operandi revolves on churning out outragious lies on Eritrea on a daily basis; wholesale assaults on its history, culture, development agendas, regional policy etc. Myopic mindset is diversionary on the one hand but also part and parcel of a toxic agenda of regional destabilization.

Good Read: Promoting Traditional Eritrean Dishes for the Fasting Season; by Simon Weldemikael

*Traditional Eritrean foods and drinks are part of the rich cultural heritage of the people. They have been in existence for centuries although they would have undergone some changes over time.

*During the fasting seasons of Ramadan and Lent, there are certain traditional dishes and beverages that are commonly served. The popular dishes served tend to be simple but nutritious to provide those fasting with sufficient energy.

*Like the traditional foods and drinks, the manners and habits of eating and drinking are also crucial elements of the culture innate to Eritrean society. To any one that comes to your home while you are having a meal, it is customary to say ‘Nqedem Belu’, or "Et-Fedelu" (in the Tigrina and Tigre language groups for instance) thereby inviting the visitor to join you. You share whatever you are eating, and this reinforces the values of giving and helps build community.

🇪🇷 Eritrea: A True Model of Unity in Diversity 🌍✨

With 9 ethnic groups and 2 religions, Eritrea stands as a shining example of true national unity. 💪🏾 Unlike many nations that focus on skyscrapers and polished streets, Eritrea understands that nation-building is about a strong foundation, not just surface-level development.

🛠 Just like a house needs a solid foundation to stand strong, a nation needs unity to thrive. Many African countries remain fragile due to weak national cohesion, but Eritrea has laid the groundwork for lasting stability. The rest will come in due time!

HAPPY WOMEN'S DAY ዋዕሮታት ደቂ ኤረይ Eritrea 🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷

[Yemane G. Meskel 🇪🇷 @hawelti]

From the diplomatic grapevine: "the new ruse of shifting blame to Eritrea for the failure of the full implementation of the Pretoria Agreement seems both disingenuous and rather pathetic. The Pretoria Agreement signed more than two years ago (in November 2022) had narrow timelines of implementation stretching from few weeks to a couple of months. Problems it has encountered in smooth and speedy implementation surely pre-date the quite recent political schisms within the TPLF".

The fact is the tension in the wider region squarely stems from the the toxic agenda of territorial irredentism; from unwarranted pronouncements and related sabre-rattling for acquiring a port and maritime territory "legally if possible and militarily if necessary". This is the malaise that warrants firm and unequivocal legal & moral stance by all countries who cherish the peace and stability of the Horn of Africa region.
