We have received numerous inquiries regarding our communication with the following Eritrean professional footballers currently playing in Europe: Paulos Abraham and Natan Ghirma. All of these players are excelling at top European clubs. The Eritrean National Football Federation (ENFF) is actively monitoring their development. Once the players are ready, the ENFF is prepared to extend career opportunities. We understand they want to explore all their options, especially given the significant interest from national teams in Sweden and Switzerland. The ENFF is always open to communication and welcomes any players who wish to get in touch.

“Who cares about the truth when the lie is more entertaining” “Bruke Desalagne” is pure Ethiopian name not Eritrean. This animal committed heinous crime then played the Eritrean card. Stop smearing actual Eritrean name. #Eritrea
Congratulatory Message from President Donald J. Trump
In his message, President Donald Trump said that the American people join him in congratulating the people and Government of #Eritrea on the 35th anniversary of Eritrea’s independence, May 24. He also expressed respect and admiration for the steadfast spirit and resilience of the Eritrean people, as well as for their dedication to Eritrea’s national sovereignty.
President Donald Trump further noted that, consistent with the sentiment he expressed in his letter to President Isaias last year, and with the previous era now behind us, he believes the time is right to move forward and work together on shared peace and prosperity across the #Horn of #Africa and the #RedSea.

#Eritrea - National Festival 2026: Heritage and Marine Resources; by Lwam Kahsay
*"... The Debub region’s exhibition offered visitors an overview of its diverse topography, rich agricultural traditions, and recent developments. The centerpiece, which instantly captivated visitors, was the detailed explanation of ancient mummification practices in Eritrea".
*"...In Eritrea, around the fifth century, many holy men and saints were laid to rest within high-altitude cave monasteries, including famous sites such as Debre Libanos, Metera, and Baekam. The cool, arid microclimates of these high mountain caverns, combined with darkness, naturally halted the process of decay. Remarkably, the remains of saints preserved at Debre Libanos monastery for over 1,500 years are one example of ancient preservation".
*"...A short walk away, the Southern Red Sea region offered a beautiful contrast, shifting the narrative from ancient mountain caves to the vibrant coastal ecosystems. Presented by representatives from the Ministry of Marine Resources, this exhibition showcased Eritrea’s rich marine biodiversity, with a strong focus on its coral reefs and coastal mangrove forests".
*"...Ultimately, the National Festival is far more than a simple summer gathering; it is a mirror reflecting the nation’s soul, natural wonders, and enduring spirit, from the ancient monasteries of Debub to the thriving coral sanctuaries of the Southern Red Sea".
*"...This year’s festival illustrated how deeply interconnected Eritrea’s history, culture, and ecology truly are. By blending celebration with education and cultural activities, the event not only strengthens national pride and solidarity among Eritreans at home and abroad, but also serves as a beacon for sustainable development and cultural diplomacy".
