The Society of Eritrean Earth Scientists and Mining Engineers held its annual conference on 24–25 July in Asmara under the theme “Professional Engagement for Building Shared Values in Mining.” Chairman Mr. Daniel Woldeyohannes stressed that sustainable mining development rests not only on technical excellence but also on collaboration, knowledge sharing, professional integrity, and collective commitment. The gathering brought professionals together to exchange experience and support the responsible growth of Eritrea’s mining sector.
Fourteen research papers were presented, covering Environmental Impact Assessment, the Bisha Processing Plant, Eritrea’s Mining Strategic Roadmap, Zara Mining updates, and the overall state of the industry. Participants also discussed the role of mining professionals in public awareness and the opportunities and challenges posed by Artificial Intelligence. Founded in December 2019, the Society now has more than 300 members.

Biniam Girmay standing on a Tour de France podium isn’t just another cycling result—it’s history in motion. Competing for the Green Jersey against the world’s fastest sprinters, he’s proving that talent knows no borders.
Biniam’s success is a victory for Eritrea and, by extension, Africa. For the first time, an African rider has shown that we can not only compete with the very best on cycling’s biggest stage, but succeed.
Most importantly, his achievements are inspiring the next generation of Eritrean cyclists and giving hope to athletes across the Global South who have long been underrepresented in the sport. This is bigger than cycling—it’s about representation, belief, and what’s possible when barriers are broken. #TDF #BiniamGirmay #Cycling #Eritrea #Africa @GrmayeBiniam

Thank you Bini! It was a joy to watch Eritrea’s cycling sport heritage represented by your great efforts in Tour of France 2026 and finishing third in the Green Jersey clearly puts #Eritrea in the world limelight of cycling sport once more. エリトリア#TDF2026

Ethiopian army is a strong all-conquering, heroic army only on Ai images. 😂
In reality it is unable to control its own territories Gojam, Gonder, Tigray.. etc
I am attending the Scandinavian Eritrean Festival in Stockholm, Sweden, for the second time. Once again, I am deeply impressed by the community’s dignity, grace, discipline, joy, and unity. These qualities reflect a determined people committed to succeeding and thriving wherever they are.
The contrast from previous years is striking. During earlier festivals, Eritreans faced violent attempts to disrupt and shut down these community gatherings. Many Eritreans also felt that public discourse and official narratives reduced them to political labels rather than seeing them for who they are.
What was often overlooked was an extraordinary community defined by its values, history, identity, and deep sense of belonging. The love Eritreans have for one another, their pride in their heritage, and their respect for the country they now call home are evident throughout this festival. At a time when much of Europe is grappling with growing anti-immigrant sentiment, the vibrancy, organization, civic engagement, and unity of the Eritrean community stand out in a remarkable way.
This year, I had the opportunity to meet Swedish officials who were attending the festival, engaging with community members, and listening to their perspectives. With elections approaching, many are also reaching out to Eritrean voters. That represents a notable change from previous years and an acknowledgment that the Eritrean community is an active and valued part of Swedish society.
There is still work to be done. Misunderstandings and long-held assumptions do not disappear overnight. But compared to last year, I sensed a greater willingness to engage. That is encouraging, and it reinforces the importance of continuing to build understanding through dialogue, mutual respect, and firsthand experience.
