Ethiopia generates most of its energy from renewable sources, powering homes, industries and regional connections. Here, clean energy is a bridge to shared African prosperity.
When we power one another, we move Africa forward together!
It is unfortunate that claims of Ethiopian involvement are routinely presented as established facts, while the more open political, logistical, and military backing provided by Egypt and Eritrea to the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) receives comparatively little attention. One has to wonder what justifies this selective focus.
The good news is that many Sudanese appear fully aware of who is actually driving the conflict. They do not seem to blame Ethiopia primarily, because they understand that the current chaos is fundamentally about the Nile waters and recognize who stands to benefit most from the present status quo.
The delusion seems never ending. As they say, some people would rather cling to a fantasy than face reality.
Why on earth would any sane person vote to join Eritrea? To time travel back to the Stone Age, trade freedom for starvation, and spend the rest of their lives serving Africa’s longest egomaniacal dictator?
Perhaps we should ask the Afar, Bilen, Saho, Kunama and others in Eritrea whether they would rather remain trapped in an isolated dictatorship or reconnect with their ethnic kin across the border in Ethiopia. I suspect the queue for that choice would be longer than the bread lines in Asmara.
Many never chose to be imprisoned by a colonial era border, let alone become pawns in Isaias Afwerki’s political game or el-Sisi’s cannon fodders.
And aren't Eritrean youth already voting with their feet, leaving in droves? Isn't Addis Ababa itself evidence of this exodus, with Eritreans seeking refuge and opportunity there?
Perhaps the real question isn't who wants to join Eritrea, but why so many Eritreans are desperate to leave it.
Unpopular opinion:
Imagine a referendum where Tigray joins Eritrea.
Politics divided us, but the bond between the people remains unbroken. Shared roots > political borders. Despite decades of political friction, the cultural and familial bond between Tigrayans and Eritreans is deeper than any border. Governments divide, but shared identity endures. Make XMDO reality.

When Nipsey families standing with the dictatorial regime of Isaias which organizes & arms terrorist groups in E-Africa you show that you fail to grasp the suffering & hardship of the Eritrean people,& that you stand in opposition to the interests of East African nations politics
Indeed, it is long past time for Ethiopia to demand justice for the ports and coastline unjustly taken from it by a conspiracy that left a great nation landlocked.
It is an existential matter for 140 million Ethiopians who must not remain permanently cut off from the sea. Eritrean independence was a quest for self rule, It was never for stripping Ethiopia of vital maritime territory and ports that had long been integral to its economy, history, and strategic position.
Dr. Gedion’s clear explanation of the Eritrean state and its elites cuts through the noise and shows the deeper patterns that have sustained this injustice.
A must watch video
Egypt can assess the “damage” of losing the exclusive Nile control Britain handed it in 1929 and 1959 treaties Ethiopia never signed and that ignored the country supplying 85% of the water.
Ethiopia will assess its own damages - decades of Egyptian efforts to destabilize Ethiopia through sabotage, proxy wars, and interference so that Ethiopia could never use its own river.
Ethiopia should also demand restitution first before discussing #GERD.
#Egypt and #Sudan have agreed to form a joint committee to document and assess the material, social and environmental damages caused by #Ethiopia's unilateral operation of its Nile dam. https://t.co/PjoiZ6J2Cy
مشكلة القاهرة ليست أن إثيوبيا تهدد أمنها، بل أن إثيوبيا ترفض أن يبقى مستقبلها رهينة للامتيازات المصرية. النيل ليس صك ملكية للقاهرة، والتاريخ لا يمنحها حق الوصاية على التنمية الإثيوبية، ولا سيادة السودان وإريتريا والصومال أوراقاً في يدها. ما تسميه القاهرة حمايةً لأمنها لا ينبغي أن يصبح حقاً في مصادرة مستقبل جيرانها.
Is Cairo defending Sudan’s sovereignty, or does it want a Sudanese army that serves Egyptian interests more faithfully than it safeguards Sudan’s independent decision-making? Egypt appears to envision a Horn of Africa where neighbouring states enjoy sovereignty on paper, provided they do not exercise it in ways that challenge Cairo’s preferred balance of power.
Sputnik naming Egypt’s name wasn’t a mere quote—but based on undisclosed evidences
Moscow & its P5 has already reviewed the undisclosed logs & physical receipts of Cairo’s covert supply chain.
🇪🇹🇷🇺 When state media broadcasts the Egyptian name, that cover is officially gone 😎
Eritrea's MisInformation Minister can write essays about "maps" and "self-defense pretexts." What he cannot do is answer one basic question.
Eritrean troops advanced up to 60 km deep into Ethiopian territory, violating Ethiopia's sovereignty and attacking Adigrat, Rama and many other towns. This is not Ethiopia's claim alone - it is on record with Reuters, AP, BBC and ACLED. Ethiopia's federal forces responded in self-defence under Article 51.
So, Minister Yemane: Did Eritrean forces enter Ethiopian territory and engage the Ethiopian federal army❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓
Yes or no. No more essays.
The facts speak louder than your threads.
In the current international/diplomatic discourse regarding the imperative of adherence to, and respect of, foundational pillars of international law as well as the maintenance of regional peace and security, the following salient facts and sequence of events must be recognized, without any equivocation, as the kernel/principal causes behind the prevailing grave situation:
1. On 13 October 2023, the Potemkin Party willfully manufactured an unnecessary and avoidable crises between the two countries by formally and publicly declaring its hostile agenda of acquiring "sovereign access to the sea", apparently and ultimately through invasion and occupation of Eritrea's sovereign lands. This dangerous declaration constituted a flagrant violation of foundational pillars of international law as well as the Joint Declaration of Peace and Friendship signed between the two countries in Asmara on 9 July 2018.
2. This initial declaration was ramped up in subsequent years through relentless and incendiary media campaigns; associated saber-rattling, and massive rearmament. The scope of the PP's impending invasion was also broadened to include forcible incorporation of Eritrea's southern coastline (see attached map) for the establishment of "a sovereign naval force with strategic depth".
3. The war agenda was further ratcheted up and translated into an operational plan when the PP regime launched its military operations in the Tigray Administrative Region in mid-September this year. Indeed a couple of days after the eruption of the war, the PP's Deputy Chief of Staff announced that "Mekelle will be a mere stop-over... the main objective is to install our flag in the Red Sea".
4. And on 9 October last month, the PP regime went further to ominously "notify the UNSC" on the unleashing of its war of aggression against Eritrea under the spurious pretext of "self-defense".
The writing on the wall is thus crystal clear; eliciting, as it does, unequivocal condemnation as well as requisite deterrent measures in accordance with explicit provisions of the UN Charter and associated instruments.
Sudanese opposition leader Mubarak al-Fadil al-Mahdi has accused Islamist figures within SAF chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan’s administration of drawing Sudan into the escalating conflict between Ethiopia and Eritrea, warning that the move could threaten the country’s national security and territorial integrity.

These weapons, captured in Ethiopia, were funneled through Eritrea to arm groups fighting the Ethiopian government. Eritrea is not merely sheltering them - it is arming, funding, and coordinating them under the so called TSIMDO alliance, whose goal is to overthrow Ethiopia’s federal government.
Also this proxy effort serves Egypt’s interest in keeping Ethiopia weak and limiting its influence over the Nile and the Red Sea.
Sovereignty cannot shield aggression. A country that allows its territory to be used to attack a neighbor, and supports those forces, cannot expect that border to protect the attackers.
Ethiopia has the right under international law to defend its people.
You cannot wage a proxy war against a neighbor and then hide behind the very sovereignty you violate.
ENDF showcased a massive quantity of captured TPLF weaponry to the diplomatic community.
Items displayed include artillery, live ammunition, military explosives, and drones.
@khaledmahmoued1 If Abiy Ahmad stays on power for the next couple of years, he'll consolidate his power and gets even more powerful and challenge Egypt 🇪🇬 very extraordinary. So Egypt needs to be very serious on the removal of Abiy from power before it gets TOO LATE.
Really? Is supporting the TPLF now the ultimate litmus test of consciousness?
The same TPLF that triggered a devastating war in which hundreds of thousands of people perished? The same warlord network that is exploiting Tigrayan youth as cannon fodder for Al-Burhan's mercenary forces? The same clique that is profiting from illegal gold mining in Tigray, with proceeds funneled through Dubai into the pockets of its warlords? The same organization willing to serve Egypt's regional agenda by turning its guns against its own country - the very country it once ruled with impunity?
And you have the audacity to present support for this outfit as a badge of political enlightenment?
Consciousness is not the ability to glorify your favorite warlords or excuse their crimes. It is the courage to tell the truth and hold the criminals accountable.
Shameless hypocrisy. Should I keep going?
