I got to know #susu not from her Lives, but from her content and she’s one of TikTok’s most talented creators. Her content is rich, original, and she shares her talent freely while thousands learn from her. Now some idiots are attacking her simply because she voted for her sister, Miss Eritrea 2026. My advice: keep doing what you do. Don’t let anyone intimidate you for making your own choice. If #susu ever puts her content behind a subscription, a lot of people will feel the loss. 🇪🇷

Africa possesses the resources, institutions and human capacity to chart a different course. What is required is political commitment, African ownership, collective responsibility and determined action. https://t.co/zZG1b84xPa
After the United Nations implemented the resolution, Ethiopia used various means to undermine the federal agreement. The foundations of the federation were systematically eroded, freedoms were restricted, and Eritrean symbols and identity were obliterated. It became inevitable that the Eritrean people would eventually say, “enough is enough.” Thus, the Eritrean armed struggle began a year before Ethiopia’s unilateral dissolution of the federation in November 1962, and three years after the establishment of a clandestine movement known as the Eritrean Liberation Movement in November 1958. Hamid Idris Awate inspired the people, especially the revolutionaries, by demonstrating how the struggle should be fought and making them aware of their strength. His call for Eritreans to join the fight resonated throughout the country and shook the feudal establishment in Addis Ababa. This courageous, insightful initiative to begin the armed struggle instilled hope in the freedom-seeking population by clearly showing them a path to liberation. The liberation struggle against the heavily armed invading Ethiopian army—initially trained and supported by the USA and later by the USSR—was a battle against superior forces aligned with Ethiopian colonisation. Throughout the armed struggle for independence, Eritrea faced Africa's largest army. The Eritrean revolution transformed the entire society, serving as a catalyst for political and mental liberation in Eritrea. It was a mass social revolution with direct influence that extended even into Ethiopia. The Eritrean revolution significantly altered the course of history in both Eritrea and Ethiopia. Its impact did not end with Eritrea's liberation; it inspired Eritreans to rise against Emperor Haile Selassie and Mengistu, freeing the people of both countries from tyranny and laying the foundation for a peaceful, stable environment. The Eritrean people's long, bitter struggle for independence created a social bond, a collective memory, and a shared sense of glory—elements that now underpin a mutual commitment to living in harmony. #DiscoverEritrea
Today, Tuesday, September 1st, marks the 65th anniversary of the start of the armed struggle for independence in Eritrea, celebrated both within the country and in the diaspora. Following the end of European colonialism, Eritrea was placed under a federal arrangement with Ethiopia, a decision made against the wishes of the Eritrean people. This arrangement began when the United Nations passed a resolution on December 2, 1950. The federation lasted for ten years before Ethiopia proceeded to annex Eritrea. The violation of this federal agreement by Ethiopia, combined with the international community's silence, left the Eritrean people with no choice but to initiate an armed struggle for independence. On September 1, 1961, Hamid Idris Awate announced the beginning of the war of liberation. Awate is honored by Eritreans as the founding father of this struggle. In honor of his contributions, many government and private institutions have been named after him, and a statue has been erected in Haikota, located in the Gash Barka region.
Before the armed struggle began, the people of Eritrea had been fighting legally and politically against Ethiopian repression and international conspiracy. From 1941 to 1961, they sought the right to self-determination through peaceful means, but their efforts were in vain. On December 2, 1950, when the United Nations passed its federal resolution, Ethiopia's and its allies' interests took precedence over those of the Eritrean people. From the very beginning, it was evident that the right to self-determination for the Eritrean people was sacrificed to protect the interests of Ethiopia and her allies. This interest was clearly articulated by U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, who stated: “From the point of view of justice, the opinions of the Eritrean people must be taken into account. Nevertheless, the strategic interests of the U.S. in the Red Sea region, along with considerations of security and world peace, necessitate that our country remain allied with Ethiopia.” As a result, the establishment of an independent and sovereign Eritrea was obstructed to serve others' interests. The historical right of the Eritrean people to self-determination was overlooked, leading to a situation where, as African nations moved from colonial rule to independence, Eritrea transitioned from European colonialism to Ethiopian domination.

#Eritrea is solemnly commemorating today the 65th Anniversary of the beginning of the Armed Struggle for national liberation and human dignity.
As it will be recalled, a small people and nation had to suffer the ordeals of Africa's longest war of liberation, (1961-1991), simply because their inalienable right to decolonization, the pronounced provisions of international law, were brazenly compromised and subordinated to mollify the geopolitical interests of global powers and their regional surrogate.
In this respect, September 1st, 1961, epitomizes the noble determination, as well as history of resilience and heroism, of a small people who chose not to succumb to injustices and the logic of crude force or military power!
