#Egypt officially approved the opening of a Cairo University branch in #Eritrea. A strategic milestone for Eritrea, expanding access to higher education, research & regional p’ships while deepening #Asmara’s ties w 🇪🇬. In a shifting RedSea & HOA, soft power & institutions matter.
Happy Independence Week! 🇪🇷 Let’s do the math: Maximum sacrifice + unmatched determination = a 35th anniversary celebration that’s legally required to be this feverish. When you pay the ultimate price for your freedom, the afterparty is non-negotiable. Cheers to a proud people who never got a discount on their history! #Eritrea stands strong on its 35th Birthday.

#Eritrea - Statement by Foreign Minister Osman Saleh at the Geneva Conference on Unilateral Sanctions
"The international order is increasingly characterized by the normalization, expansion, and quiet institutionalization of unilateral coercive measures. Their scope has widened, their application intensified, and their reach extended far beyond national jurisdictions. This evolution has unfolded largely outside the framework of multilateral legitimacy and in tension with the foundational principles of international law, sovereign equality, non-interference, and the importance of the Charter of the United Nations".
