The Potemkin Party regime has been incessantly beating the drums of war and openly stating - from the Prime Minister down to its senior military and political officials - that it will launch a war of aggression against Eritrea to acquire what it calls "sovereign access to the sea" and "project maritime power" and presence in the southern coastal areas of Eritrea.

In recent weeks, it has tried to re-package this war agenda in terms of "self-defense" by fabricating various allegations against Eritrea.

In the wake of the upsurge of fighting in the northern part of Ethiopia, one of their senior Generals stated, in an interview with a local media outlet on 27 September last month: "... When we launch the offensive, we will not stop in Tigray.. Our main objective it to install our flag in the Red Sea".

The General also stated, on another occasion: "Mekelle is a mere stop-over, our ultimate destination is Assab".

So let us connect the dots. The writing on wall has remained crystal clear for more than three years now.

The PP's overarching objective is to create a fallacious narrative of "self-defense" to rationalize and camouflage its war of aggression.

This is the holistic picture of reckless and flagrant violation of international law which cannot be blurred through deceptive narratives.

#Eritrea's Delegation led by Foreign Minister Osman Saleh met, yesterday in Washington, with US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, Ms. Allison Hooker, and, the Assistant Secretary for Africa, Mr. Frank Garcia ,respectively.

In the meeting with the Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, Minister Osman welcomed the removal of unilateral sanctions which must be seen as a positive and vital step for turning a new page in Eritrea-US relations.

Eritrea's objective is to create the basis for constructive, mutually beneficial, and genuine partnership in the period ahead. The new chapter should enable us to recoup missed opportunities; pivot towards enhancement of trade and investment; as well as explore and leverage new prospects for genuine partnership that eschews structural dependency, FM Osman stressed.

Minister Osman also referred to the need for further review of unwarranted policies of pressure pursued by previous Administrations. He elaborated on Eritrea's modest and constructive role in the promotion of peace, stability and security in its immediate and wider neighborhood which encompasses the Horn of Africa; the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden; the Nile Basin, and the Wider Gulf Region. The Minister expressed Eritrea's earnest hope to cultivate collaborative efforts with the US in these ideals as well as in the mechanism of cooperation charted out by the littoral States.

The Under Secretary for Political Affairs, for her part, underlined that the lifting of sanctions stemmed from President Trump's commitment to nurture bilateral partnerships based on mutual benefits. This will contribute to the crystallization of warm ties of cooperation between the two countries. Ms. Hooker further remarked on the broad convergence of broad themes of cooperation envisaged by the two sides in these initial and preliminary meetings.

The meeting with the Assistant Secretary State, Mr. Frank Garcia, was likewise focused on broadly similar themes. The two sides agreed that future talks will focus on more profound and concrete consultations for the promotion of trade and investment; regional peace and stability, as well as resolution of pending matters through constructive dialogue.

The Chairman of Sudan's Sovereign Council, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, arrived in Asmara in the mid-morning hours today for a working visit.

The current visit is part and parcel of the periodic consultative framework that is held between the two sisterly countries.

General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his entourage were accorded warm welcome by President Isaias Afwerki on their arrival at Asmara International Airport.

President Isaias Afwerki and General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan will discuss enhancement of bilateral ties as well as regional and international issues of mutual interest.

Osman Saleh Eritrean foreign minister is undisputed heavyweight of Horn of Africa diplomacy and one of the finest foreign minister in the region in the recent years.

Unapologetically patriotic, calm, calculative and unwavering.

He didn't just survive international isolation, he weaponised it into masterclass in sovereignty. He outmaneuvered the western establishment at every turn. A titan of statecraft.

[Yemane G. Meskel 🇪🇷 @hawelti]

In these tumultuous times, charting out synergetic and complementary architecture of collective regional security, and more broadly, modalities and mechanisms of wider cooperation has become more vital and urgent than ever before.

The overarching political considerations and operational calculus behind this conviction are the imperatives of ownership and agency; the need to avoid a polarized climate of global rivalry; and the rationale for enhancing local capacity building and mutual cooperation between the main stakeholders to secure and enhance enduring regional peace and stability.

In the Red Sea, this broad framework translates and is better summed up in the following 12 points that Eritrea submitted to the Council of Red Sea and Gulf of Aden Littoral States few years ago.

Eritrea maintains that these parameters can indeed serve as substantive inputs that can be enriched through continuous and rigorous consultation against the backdrop of fluid and changing realities.

1. Comprehensive and unbiased assessment of the current realities of the Red Sea and associated matters, in all their dimensions and perspectives in a realistic manner;
2. Full clarity on the desired objectives and goals;
3. Detailed mapping of the threats to the peace and security of the Red Sea; and, categorization and specification of these parameters;
4. Formulation of a viable strategy that will ensure achievement of constructive objectives and goals;
5. Formulation of strategies to contain and eliminate the threats in tandem with the positive policies of cooperation;
6. Mapping out detailed schemes and plans that will ensure holistic implementation of the twin strategies;
7. Stipulation of the implementation mechanisms, associated structures and mobilization of the requisite resources;
8. Ensuring that all the organizational configurations and frameworks that are developed are anchored on respect of sovereignty and international law;
9. Ensuring that all littoral States build and possess their own effective defense capabilities and naval forces (without delegation to others);
10. Supplementing, through collective efforts and synergy, those specific tasks that cannot be met through individual domestic capabilities and resources;
11. All relevant States will create appropriate modalities of cooperation with “external forces” for tasks or missions that are beyond their collective capability on the basis of a consensual framework;
12. Creation of competent committees to address all these issues in a comprehensive and professional manner.

The Problem with Ethiopia’s “Maritime Imperative”

Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Research and Documentation Division
4 May 2026

*"...The Horn of Africa does not require new doctrines of inevitability. It requires a reaffirmation of the principles that have sustained it thus far: respect for sovereignty, adherence to international law, and a commitment to cooperation based on equality rather than coercion".

*"...The 'maritime imperative' is not an unavoidable consequence of geography or geopolitics. It is a constructed narrative designed to shift the boundaries of what is considered acceptable in regional discourse. It must be recognized for what it is: a revisionist doctrine that seeks to legitimize ambition at the expense of law. And it must be rejected accordingly".

#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".

Ethiopia: Abiy's War Script and the Media’s False Balance on Eritrea; The Mesob Journal

Insightful and nuanced analysis that rectifies often simplistic narratives by external "pundits" and conflict entrepreneurs/ገናዞ; some with fixed agendas.

It is indeed refreshing to see, these days, profound and objective news analysis and well-researched papers by independent social media outlets - https://t.co/Q51uAA4wU4; https://t.co/512O7pb8z2 etc. - on complex and multi-layered current developments and trends in the Horn of Africa.

Potemkin Party officials, hired apologists and minions, have this knack for invoking postulates and arguments that are banal in substance but are, nonetheless, packaged in ostensibly "academic/geopolitical" analysis and garb for purposes of deceptive "credibility".

Latest variants and versions in this saga of incessant public agitation and saber rattling include:

* Delusional arguments on the "imperative for Ethiopia to project naval power to enhance the security of the Red Sea" because, we are told, "the task cannot be fully handled by the littoral States". Leaving unequivocal legal provisions and prevailing robust security configurations aside, the argument is too ludicrous to merit response. It is indeed mind-boggling why a regime notorious for incubating, and that is constantly embroiled in, perpetual internal conflicts of its own making has the temerity to assume an out-sized regional mantle as an "indispensable anchor State" instead of finding enduring panacea to its real and enormous challenges.

* Tenuous arguments, in addition to worn-out references of population size etc., , on exorbitant "transit fees" and purported reduction in its annual GDP growth due to the lack of "sovereign access to the sea". These arguments are often laced with rather explicit corollary/threats that the regime "may indeed unleash war against its neighbour" to rectify these "existential threats". The Potemkin Party's outrageous allusion to "precedence of, and analogy with, Israel's annexation of the Golan Heights" at the last Session of the House of the Peoples Representatives was made in this context principally to mislead its domestic constituencies. Apparently, the myopic and callous PP officials are oblivious to the economic devastation and loss of life that any war of aggression is fraught with when they indulge in, and agitate for. these reckless agendas.

*This is the real backdrop and underlying rationale behind the patently false and fabricated accusations leveled against Eritrea by the PP regime these days. Transparent as they are, the spurious arguments for unleashing war to acquire "sovereign access to the sea" have not, and cannot, find any traction or political endorsement in the wider world. The war agenda must thus be inverted and re-packaged under false premises and pretexts.
