This is beautifully said.
It’s commendable that this is coming from a member of the opposition group. As I’ve always emphasized, while it’s perfectly acceptable to oppose, we must never disrespect our history, country, or people.

Following The Eritrean Super Star in The FIFA world Cup 2026 Competition.
By Alula Frezghi
Alexander Isak just delivered a historic World Cup debut not only for Sweden, but for Eritreans worldwide. The first player of Eritrean heritage to play, score, and assist in a World Cup match. A milestone that transcends football.
#AlexanderIsak #Eritrea #Sweden
His performance was monumental: a goal, two assists, and a Player of the Match award. Only the second Swede ever to achieve this in a World Cup game. After a year of doubt and criticism, he rose like a phoenix.
#WorldCup2026 #RisingStar #FootballHistory
For Eritreans everywhere from Asmara to Stockholm to the diaspora across the globe, this is a moment of profound pride. Isak showed that heritage is not a limitation; it is a source of strength, identity, and excellence.
#EritreanPride #DiasporaPower
And for those who question Eritreans celebrating players like Isak: look at the global game. Morocco, Ghana, Cape Verde, nations that embrace their diaspora talent and thrive because of it. Football is a story of shared roots.
#AfricanFootball #DiasporaTalent
Morocco’s global‑rooted squad, including their iconic win over Brazil, is proof that embracing diaspora players enriches national football. Eritrea is now stepping onto that same path slowly, steadily, inevitably.
#Morocco #GlobalGame #FootballCulture
Figures like Henok Goitom mentor, leader, pioneer helped pave the road Isak walks today. And credit belongs to his family and early Eritrean mentors like Nahom Ghidey, who shaped his foundation long before the world was watching.
#HenokGoitom #EritreanExcellence
For those of us who followed Isak from his earliest days, this moment feels personal. A journey witnessed. A promise fulfilled. A new chapter opened.
#ProudMoment #FootballJourney
This is bigger than one match. It is a testament to resilience, identity, and possibility. A reminder that Eritrean talent belongs on the world stage and will continue to rise.
#EritreaOnTheMap #NextGeneration
Alexander Isak’s World Cup debut will inspire millions in Sweden, in Eritrea, and across the diaspora. A story of perseverance. A symbol of hope. A victory for all of us.

Press Release:
Tibor Nagy: political maverick with an axe to grind
against Eritrea
In his opinion column on the Horn of Africa published in the Avalanche Journal last week, Tibor Nagy resorts to his usual recipe of disparaging #Eritrea to dish out biased and presumptuous conjectures that are at variance with the principal causes and trajectories of the simmering tension in the region.
This is not surprising in many respects. The former US Assistant Secretary of State for #Africa indeed lacks academic and analytical credentials, and more importantly, personal integrity and honesty as his lop-sided positions and views on the Horn of Africa are often influenced by his lobbying contracts and unorthodox political networks.
His ardent lobbying these days for recognition of #Somaliland; his negative positions on the situation in the #Sudan are additional and illustrative cases in point.
1. In matters regarding Eritrea, Naggy was a pliable supporter of the Ethiopian regime’s violation of international law and continued occupation of Eritrean sovereign lands in breach of the Algiers Peace Agreement and the #EEBC “final and binding” Award when he was the US Ambassador in Addis Abeba.
2. Indeed, while the US was one of the guarantor’s of the #Algiers #Agreement, which contained explicit provisions for punitive measures against the recalcitrant party, Tibor Nagy continued to defend and apologize for the Ethiopian regime’s continued illicit occupation of sovereign Eritrean territories, including #Badme, for almost two decades in flagrant contravention of the Arbitral Award as well as its subsequent, pronounced, policy of “regime change” until 2018. In this perspective, the accolades he showers on the Ethiopian Prime Minister is neither accurate nor deserved as the new regime had only belatedly accepted, important as that was, to respect and adhere to its treaty obligations virtually 16 years after the Arbitral Award.
3. Tibor Nagy’s insinuation that Eritrea was an integral part of the 2000 years old Ethiopian #Empire prior to its independence is also pathetically wrong and panders to deliberately crafted mythology that has nothing to do with the actual history of the region. Prior to the advent of Italian colonialism in the late 19th century, modern-day Eritrea passed through long historical trajectories in which the western and eastern lowlands were under various external occupiers (#Ottoman Empire etc.) while independent indigenous fiefdoms presided over the rest of the country. Historical revisionism and invocation of mythologies are essentially peddled by those who wish to imbue some semblance of justification for the current regime’s expansionist ambitions. #Ethiopia and Eritrea “were one” in Tibor Nagy’s terms only from 1951 until 1991 when Eritrea was forcible annexed by Ethiopia by abrogating the “Federal Act”; the latter imposed on Eritrea against its inalienable rights of decolonization. Tibor Nagy’s reference to small Eritrea – the size of #Pennsylvania – etc. also falls in the same deceitful mold as sovereignty and territorial integrity of nations has no positive correlation whatsoever with geographic landmass.
4. Tibor Nagy’s eulogization of the Ethiopian Prime Minister as “a devout #Evangelical Christian who sees himself as a #Messianic leader doing God’s work on earth” is utterly false and risible, evidently concocted to appeal to certain constituencies in the US. Tibor Nagy has in fact exposed himself as the unscrupulous lobbyist that he is. His assertion that Ethiopia was the second nation in the world to adopt Christianity is cut from the same cloth and historically inaccurate as his other conjectures. This false assertion in fact obfuscates the reality that the #Red #Sea of Eritrea was the gateway for the introduction of Christianity and Islamic traditions into Africa. Incontrovertible historical and archeological findings illustrate that Christianity was introduced by the 4thCentury A.D. into this part of the Horn with the enterprise of Frumentius, a #Christian Monk from Tyre in Syria. The highlands of Eritrea were the locations for the earliest Christian communities in the Horn of Africa although the new faith also spread southwards to Ethiopia in concurrent times.
5. Tibor Nagy also seems to suffer from an apparently compulsive malaise of frenzied defamation of the Eritrean President. It is not clear whether this irrational hatred stems from an occupational hazard as a long-time hired lobbyist for Ethiopia; his personal/ideological loathing of independent policies espoused by Africa’s Statesmen; or the pretension of inconsequential little men who seek attention by throwing dirt on persons far beyond their pedigree and caliber.
6. In a nutshell, Tibory Nagy digresses to dwell on tangential and distorted narratives primarily and principally because his central objective is to divert attention from the root cause of the current problem: the Ethiopian regime’s willful and deplorable agenda of war and conflict in pursuit of what it calls “sovereign access to the sea” by invading the sovereign territory of its neighbor. This dangerous act cannot be justified and rationalized by other fallacious pretexts and narratives. Tibor Nagy is not, evidently, in a position to deliver on this account because he is under the beck and call of his financial sponsors; veritable cases, as it were, of “who pays the piper calls the tune”!
#EritrePrevails
It is always encouraging to hear fellow Africans recognize Eritrea’s and Eritreans’ uniqueness, kindness, and wisdom. Thank you, sir. We are simply being ourselves, but it means a great deal to hear such kind words about our people and our country.

80 Years of Steadfast Service
At 80, he does not rest on history
he stands guard over it.
Forged in sacrifice, sharpened by struggle,
President Isaias Afwerki remains
a symbol of resolve in a restless world.
When others bowed, he stood.
When storms came, he stayed the course.
Not for applause, not for comfort
but for Eritrea, her dignity,
her sovereignty, her future unborn.
He led with patience when haste was easy,
with principle when compromise was tempting,
with courage when isolation was the price.
A selfless servant of a proud people,
still walking beside them, not above them.
At 80, his strength is not only in years survived,
but in a nation preserved.
The world may debate
Eritreans know.
Happy 80th birthday
to a brave, strong, unwavering leader,
still serving, still standing,
still Eritrea’s shield.

Good Read - The Facts of Harmony: #Eritrea’s Ethnic and Religious Unity;
by David Yeh (Abridged version), https://t.co/512O7pb8z2
"Eritrea views autonomous organizations, whether religious, social, or political, not as potential threats to unity in a societally diverse nation, but as spices towards unity. Unlike systems that codify ethnic divisions into governance, Eritrea’s emphasis on a common national identity has, in fact, mitigated centrifugal pressures that have destabilized other countries in the region. For Eritreans, unity is not an abstraction imposed from above; it is the continuing embodiment of their shared history and security".

The Durfo Dam: A Foundation for Community Transformation and Market Stability
By by Hadnet Keleta @hadnetkeleta
Red Sea Beacon @RedSeaBeacon
The Durfo Dam in Eritrea (Central Region, near Asmara) has transformed the local community and stabilized markets.
Built by Eritrean Defense Forces + locals, it ended chronic water shortages, enabling year-round farming (fruits, veggies), livestock raising, and honey production.With Ministry of Agriculture training, it boosted incomes, improved health/nutrition, reduced rural-urban migration, and ensured steady supply of fresh produce to Asmara's markets.
Part of Eritrea's broader push: over 1,000 such dams built for resilience against drought and food security.A real example of grassroots development turning vulnerability into productivity ! #Eritrea #EritreaPrevails

🔴 Eritrea’s New Minister of Education Chose Service Over Exile: A Product of the EPLF Revolutionary School
Eritrea’s newly appointed Minister of Education, Dr. Halima Mohammed, stands as a living embodiment of the values instilled by the EPLF’s revolutionary school system. Educated in the EPLF’s "Zero School" during the liberation struggle, she represents a generation of cadres shaped not by privilege or foreign influence but by the discipline, sacrifice, and collective ethos of a revolutionary people’s movement.
Rather than join the growing ranks of highly educated Eritreans who leave the country for personal advancement, Dr. Halima chose the harder path: a lifetime of national service within Eritrea’s education system, spanning more than four decades. Her career, including teaching, curriculum development, overseeing national examinations, and leading teacher training, has been defined not by personal ambition but by the revolutionary principle that knowledge and expertise must serve the people.
Despite holding an M.A. from SOAS University of London and completing further studies at Ahfad University, she returned to Eritrea and remained, resisting the lure of diaspora life and its comforts. In a time when the pressures to leave are immense, her steadfast commitment to Eritrea’s educational development exemplifies the de-colonized and de-bourgeoisified intellectual the EPLF envisioned. She is an educator who serves rather than escapes, who builds rather than abandons.
Dr. Halima’s appointment is more than a bureaucratic reshuffle. It signals a reaffirmation of the revolutionary values that built Eritrea’s institutions. Her life reminds us that true education, in the spirit of the EPLF, is not just about acquiring credentials but about forging consciousness, discipline, and an unwavering loyalty to the people.
