What makes this possible is not merely 🇪🇹’s continued genocidal intent toward Tigrayans, but the intl. community’s failure to hold it accountable for the genocide it already committed & to establish a credible deterrent against recurrence.

Impunity is not passive. It emboldens.

The Third Congress of the Eritrean Blue Revolution Front took place in Israel from 7-8 August. Some 1,300 attended. Participants described it as a grand national celebration, while retaining the spirit of "rebellion" that the EBRF seeks to harness

Yesterday, Saudi Arabia executed another 5 Ethiopian migrants for non-lethal drug offenses, without due process. Saudi's partners shld press the authorities to halt these executions & commute the sentences of the dozens more awaiting a similar fate @hrw https://t.co/GtQjNIU1nA

"There is no peace to be found from #Prosperity... We cannot secure our sovereignty through peace," #TPLF Chairperson #Debretsion_Gebremichael said during a public forum in #Mekelle on Sunday, where he accused the federal government of failing to implement the #Pretoria Agreement and urged #Tigrayans to "restore our national honor" and prepare to safeguard the region's sovereignty. The remarks came as TPLF executive and central committee members held similar public forums across towns in #Tigray over the weekend.

@KjetilTronvoll Isayas abhors education that changes citizens intellectual capacity.

Early after Eritrea independence, through my work at U. of Oslo, I offered U. of Asmara 10 scholarshipes for MAs in Human Rights which was rejected. Sadly, EPLF / PFDJ has always shown a neglect of academia, proven also by the closure of the only university in the country.

Eritrean civil societies appeal to the UN: Renew the mandate of the Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Eritrea.
The renewal of the mandate reflects the UN’s responsibility to uphold the universal principles of the United Nations Charter

US @USStateDepartm1 and EU @eu_eeas and others believe that Pres. Isaias Afwerki of #Eritrea can be swayed to become a trusted partner in the Horn of Africa - they should read my latest article in @JoDemocracy «Eritrea’s Democratic Failure» to learn that’s a pipe dream.

@reda_getachew What about Ethiopian authorities?

[Peace @Awalausa]

@martinplaut The UN itself is not healthy. Otherwise, the Eritrean regime is a quintessential actor negating all UN principles.

[Martin Plaut @martinplaut]

Is this appropriate?

Most UN agencies are not allowed to play a full role in Eritrea. The IMF, World Bank and other international organisations are unwelcome. The UN is committed to democracy - which Eritrea has never had.

How can Eritrea be an appropriate leader for others?

Människovärde! #Eritreas folk har i årtionden levt under förtryck, rädsla och total kontroll utan frihet, rättvisa eller framtidshopp.
Tusentals människor sitter fängslade utan rättegång, familjer splittras och unga tvingas fly sitt eget land för att överleva.
Fallen #DawitIsaak och #Ciham Ali Abdu visar tydligt regimens brutalitet och hur långt den är villig att gå för att tysta människor.
Samtidigt fortsätter regimen att manipulera omvärlden genom propaganda och lojala nätverk utomlands. Men sanningen kan inte döljas för alltid. Eritreanska folket förtjänar samma rättigheter som alla andra människor — frihet, rättvisa, yttrandefrihet och ett liv utan rädsla.
Enligt Human Rights Watchs världsrapport har fler än 680 000 eritreaner, eller cirka 18 % av landets ungdomar, tvingats i exil.
Journalist @martinschibbye Detta handlar inte om krig, sanctions eller om social kontroll – det är en systematisk förstörelse av människors frihet, värdighet och mänskliga rättigheter.
Eritrea är ett levande helvete för sina medborgare, absolut ingen vill leva där förutom de tvång slaveriet eller regimlojalister.📌

Vi får aldrig vara tysta inför förtryck. #Eritrea #FreeEritrea #JusticeForDawitIsaak
