Building momentum for sustainable fisheries in #Eritrea
At the inception workshop of the FAO Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP) supporting Eritrea’s Sustainable Fisheries Livelihoods Programme (SFLP), @FAOEritrea and the Ministry of Marine Resources reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening fisheries value chains, boosting value addition, and expanding sustainable livelihood opportunities for coastal communities.
Held discussions with H.E. Mr. Jamal Fares Alrowaiei, PR of Bahrain to the @UN, and briefed him on #Eritrea’s assessment of the situation in the #Horn of #Africa. Explained the #Ethiopia|n leadership’s three-year-long campaign over access to the Red Sea, including increasingly explicit statements by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and senior military commanders challenging #Eritrea’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and threatening the use of force.
Underscored that, in the face of persistent threats of force and explicit declarations of war by #Ethiopia|n leaders, #Eritrea has exercised maximum restraint and avoided being drawn into an escalation fuelled by provocative rhetoric and threats.
Emphasized the importance of ensuring that all member states are fully apprised of the underlying context, the implications of #Ethiopia’s posture for regional peace and security, and the imperative of unequivocal respect for #Eritrea’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, political independence and unity.
The meeting also provided an opportunity to exchange views on the situation in the Middle East, including its broader implications for regional peace and security and the importance of sustained diplomatic efforts to prevent further escalation. Agreed to remain engaged...

Public speeches may be hazardous at times. Indeed, one has to choose one's words carefully.
As it happens, the omission of this clause: "In the famous words of President Kennedy..." by the speaker seems to be main reason behind the uproar that has gone viral in social media in past two days!

#EPLF: A Vision Beyond Independence
The Eritrean People’s Liberation Front (EPLF) understood that liberation required more than a dream. It demanded national awareness, organization, unity, and an unwavering commitment to a common purpose.
The struggle was fought not only for the generation that carried it, but also for generations yet to come. Its vision was to secure the right of the Eritrean people to determine their own destiny and build a future on the foundation of sovereignty and self-determination.
The journey to independence was long and painful, demanding extraordinary sacrifice and resilience. Yet the vision endured. The determination to secure freedom became a defining chapter in Eritrea’s history.
The enduring lesson is that a nation's future is shaped by the vision, courage, and sacrifices of those who refuse to surrender their people's right to freedom.

#Eritrea: Delegation Statement at Sixth Consultative Meeting on Enhancing Coordination of Peace Initiatives and Efforts in Sudan
*"...The resolution of the conflict in Sudan rests primarily and ultimately with the Sudanese people. International and regional partners must limit themselves to facilitating a Sudanese-owned and Sudanese-led process, with the people and Government of Sudan at the center".
&"...Temporary ceasefires and partial measures may provide only limited respite and risk prolonging the crisis. The ultimate goal must be to end the suffering of the Sudanese people, restore peace and stability, and enable Sudan to begin recovery and reconstruction in a secure environment".
*"...It is therefore essential that our discussions translate into meaningful and collective action to address all factors contributing to the continuation of the conflict, including external support and interference. Without a concerted effort in this regard, our ability to advance a credible and sustainable path towards peace will remain severely constrained if not impossible".

@AbiyAhmedAli mocks #Asmara—the city of equality, hard work, tranquility, harmony, and peace—for not joining his race to build a few glittering towers with begged/ borrowed money, amid allegations of corruption and questions over where the funds go. Meanwhile, millions of #Ethiopians struggle to put bread on their table.
Asmara’s dignity isn’t measured in glass towers. Its character is reflected in its cleanliness, social harmony, and streets where people can walk day or night with at most sense of security. Before lecturing others about development, perhaps Abiy should explain city cosmetic projects take center stage while ordinary people struggle—and why walking at night in #AddisAbaba does not offer the same peace of mind?
Concrete can rise overnight; public trust cannot. 🇪🇷 #Eritrea #Ethiopia #EritreaPrevails #AsmaraUnescoWorldHeritage #UNESCO
The Eritrean Defense Forces remains stationed entirely within the internationally recognized borders of Eritrea. EDF’s posture is explicitly defensive, strictly aligned with established international boundaries & fully compliant with international law.

Will the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), the African Union (AU), and other relevant actors act decisively to deter aggression, or will they once again allow the burden of defending the UN Charter’s fundamental principles to fall solely on Eritrea?

Will the UNSC and the AU Rein in Ethiopian’s Expansionism and Aggression?
by Adulis Tewolde
*...Today, the Horn of Africa confronts another dangerous juncture. The current Ethiopian ruling party has explicitly framed 'sovereign access to the sea' as a 'strategic imperative', that must be 'ascertained through negotiations if possible and by force if necessary'. Ethiopia’s intensive and provocative pronouncements conducted for over three years now as well as associated acts are indeed tantamount to a declaration of war. And finally, on 9 October this month, Ethiopia formally notified the UN Security Council that it has declared war against Eritrea under the preposterous allegations of 'Eritrea’s invasion''.
*"...Both the UN and the AU are intergovernmental organizations designed to reflect the collective position of their member states. In this context, it is imperative that these institutions uphold, without any equivocation, the fundamental pillars of the UN Charter and the AU’s Constitutive Act on the full respect of sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of all Member States. Indeed, respect for these principles is sine qua non for peaceful relations between States".
*"...Eritrea has already paid a heavy price for the international community’s past failures. Its long struggle for independence and its insistence on the implementation of the EEBC decisions underscore the importance of defending sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the peaceful settlement of disputes".
*"The question now is whether the institutions established to safeguard international peace and security will fulfill their responsibilities. Will the Security Council, the African Union, and the wider international community rein in Ethiopia’s Prosperity Party expansionist ambitions and deter aggression? Or will the defense of the UN Charter’s most fundamental principles once again be left to Eritrea alone, with all the catastrophic costs that such a failure entails".

When the Organization of African Unity (OAU)—now the AU—was founded in 1963, member states made one sacred pact: colonial borders must remain sacrosanct. They knew that if African nations began redrawing borders based on ethnicity or historical claims, the entire continent would descend into endless, bloody wars.
Abiy is working against Africa by destroying those sacrosanct colonial boundaries. By threatening Eritrea and attempting to carve up Somalia through the Somaliland MoU, he is detonating the AU's foundational rule. If colonial borders collapse, Africa disintegrates. The AU, headquartered in Addis Ababa, is in the wrong place at the wrong time.
All Africans and the African Union (AU) must take note and urge Ethiopia to cease fomenting regional instability and fulfilling the eschatological outcome sought by his handlers.

Successful Cardiac Surgery Performed on Children
Successful cardiac surgery was performed on 25 children from 9 to 20 October at Orotta Referral Hospital, in collaboration with Eritrean experts and the Italian medical team “Mission Bambini.”
Prof. Tsigereda Gebrehiwet, Head of the Pediatrics Hospital, said that the children, who came from all over the country, required urgent medical treatment and were between two weeks and 19 years of age.
Noting that cardiac surgery has been performed on over 1,700 children at the hospital since 2002, Prof. Tsigereda said that the program has made a significant contribution to transferring experience and technological know-how.
Dr. Bruno Murzi, coordinator of the team, said that the team has been providing surgical services twice a year since 2006 and that 20 specialists came to Eritrea this year to perform cardiac surgery on children. He also commended the role of Eritrean medical experts in the program.
Noting the successful cardiac surgeries, Head Nurse Amaresh Zeray said that the Eritrean medical experts participating in the program are continually developing their experience and capacity.
