It was a pleasure to meet with local leaders and Council members during last weekend's conference in Bern, Switzerland. We had productive discussions on the progress and future direction of #EBRF.
Congratulations to the Swiss Chapter for taking a decisive step and officially becoming the #EBRF Switzerland Chapter.
The commitment of our members on the ground is truly inspiring and encouraging. Together, we will continue working toward a free Eritrea and rebuilding our nation for future generations.

Our Man In Russia Asks Russia To Lead, Again.
In 2023, at St Petersburg, Russia, at the 2nd Russia-Africa Summit, President Isaias Afwerki--Champion of Self-Reliance--proposed a global strategy and to confront the hegemonic West and added: "Russia will have to lead this strategy."
Why?
“Russia will have to take the lead because Russia has been targeted.”
He told them their own history since the end of the Cold War; mourned the loss of the Soviet Union as a catastrophic global tragedy
(On health, real incomes, and everyday material abundance, the average Russian is better off in 2025 than in 1989. The Soviet advantages that many still value—greater equality, job security, and great-power status—came with systemic shortages that limited actual living standards. )
He also called for defined goals, detailed sectoral plans, and mobilization of resources. He claimed that Eritrea has detailed sectoral plans it has developed since 2020.
In 2026, at the Kremlin, Russia, at the 3rd Russia-Africa Summit, President Isaias Afwerki--Champion of Self-Reliance--said: "Russia should take the lead.”
Why?
Because "Russia has the resources, technology, and industrial base."
We also, apparently, need a new rules-based world order, apparently. Russia should propose a set of rules for African countries to implement programs across multiple sectors because, bless their heart, they are not capable of it even if they want to.
Oh, well, same applies to Russia: it can’t lead even if it wants to (it doesn’t) because it is too focused on Russia.
It is long past due for Isaias Afwerki to remember he is the President of Eritrea, not Africa. Put less politely, Africa does NOT see him as its leader notwithstanding all his ill advised pretensions to be one.
Too many Eritrean “Deleyti Fithi”
fight fellow justice seekers harder than they fight the regime. Policy differences matter but don’t lose sight of the real enemy.
“We don't come from the vantage point of Eritrea & Eritrean interests”
As the president of Eritrea, why would u even care about the interests of others over your own? With all due respect, Mr. President, this is completely unacceptable & reflects misplaced priorities.

"Khedra", "awliE", and "meley"are some of the names Eritreans passionately refer to their original national flag.
Ebro Ahmed, an African American from Minnesota, jumped onto a moving bus to save 19 school children and the driver who was incapacitated, he became a national hero earning global praise. However there was some confusion about his background that even mainstream media outlets kept referring to him as Somali when he kept saying he was Eritrean.
A more light hearted debate was also going on between some Somali and Eritreans each claiming him as their own. I thought I use the opportunity to introduce people to "meley" and the historic bond between Eritrean and Somali people that many may not know about.-

Honoured to meet with the #EBRF local representative and supporters in the United States. We shared memorable moments and had productive discussions about our shared vision and strategic priorities. The #EBRF political and diplomatic network continues to grow stronger across the U.S., expanding our partnerships and advancing our mission for a free, democratic Eritrea founded on the rule of law.
