A top Prosperity Party cadre (Daniel Kibret) is openly spilling the beans on Haile Selassie. In one of his most revealing speeches last week, he talked too much and inadvertently told the world that Haile Selassie was a usurper who did not deserve to rule #Ethiopia. He said:
“Let me mention a well-known figure about whom many songs were written. His name is Ligabaw Beyene. He was Menelik’s trustee, and when Menelik passed away, he gave his word regarding who would succeed him. Later, when Lij Iyasu was removed from power and Ras Teferi rose to prominence, Ligabaw Beyene objected. He refused to accept it and sided with those who opposed Ras Teferi’s ascent to power. As a result, there was significant conflict between him and Ras Teferi. He was punished for his stance, flogged by Ras Teferi, exiled to Koysha, and suffered greatly.”
The Chairperson of the African Union Commission rejects any recognition of Somaliland and reaffirms the African Union’s unwavering commitment to the unity and sovereignty of #Somalia.
The Chairperson of the African Union Commission, H.E. Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, has taken note, with deep concern, of recent developments relating to Somaliland.
In this regard, the Chairperson of the Commission unequivocally reaffirms the longstanding and consistent position of the African Union, grounded in the principles enshrined in the Constitutive Act of the African Union, in particular the respect for the intangibility of borders inherited at independence, as affirmed by the 1964 decision of the Organization of African Unity.
The Chairperson of the Commission @ymahmoudali firmly rejects any initiative or action aimed at recognizing Somaliland as an independent entity, recalling that Somaliland remains an integral part of the Federal Republic of Somalia. Any attempt to undermine the unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of Somalia runs counter to the fundamental principles of the African Union and risks setting a dangerous precedent with far-reaching implications for peace and stability across the continent.
The Chairperson of the Commission reiterates the African Union’s unwavering commitment to the unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of Somalia, as well as its full support for the efforts of the Somali authorities to consolidate peace, strengthen State institutions, and advance inclusive governance.

Political doublespeak and duplicity of Potemkin Party (PP) officials and zealots knows no bounds!
Only this week, the PP regime convened the Tana Forum ostensibly to mull on "regional peace and stability". But in the same breadth, the Army Chief of Staff and other senior military brass continued to ratchet up their incessant saber-rattling and war agenda against Eritrea.
Yet another Potemkin Party segment has simultaneously announced the launching of a phantom, "1,58 billion US dollars Standard Gauge Railway Project intended to connect the country with the Red Sea Ports of Massawa, Assab and Tadjourah"; "ብላዕ ዘይበልዎስ፥ ጽቡሑለይ በለ"፡ እዩ እቲ ነገሩ።
PP's befuddled mindset and duplicitous machinations have nothing to do with good-faith intentions and policies of regional peace and cooperation. The latter are indeed squarely anchored on established international laws and norms; on full respect of each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Duplicitous verbal gymnastics is not only antithetical to the healthy agenda of regional peace, stability and cooperation, but it is also fraught with fomenting dangerous conflicts that the Horn of Africa region does not need or deserve.

Good Read - A Reckless Fantasy Threatening Regional Stability and International Law; by Shabait Staff
The dangers of Ethiopia’s irredentist strategy extend far beyond its borders. Revisionist claims and reckless rhetoric risk destabilizing an already fragile region, inflaming mistrust, and undermining prospects for cooperation. Ethiopia’s neighbours, already wary of its erratic policies, cannot be expected to accommodate unlawful ambitions without consequence.

#Eritrea: Happy Eid al-Adha
Eid al-Adha celebrations held at Asmara's Bahti Meskerem Square this morning in the presence of senior Government and PFDJ officials, members of the Diplomatic Corps, and the faithful.
Keynote address and blessings delivered by Eritrea's Mufti, Sheikh Salim Ibrahim Al-Mukhtar, focussing on the religious significance of Eid al-Adha; the core values of social empathy & compassion that it enunciates; and, the precious sacrifices that the Eritrean people have paid to ascertain their national independence, human dignity, and for peace that they deeply cherish as they know the tribulations of war and conflict.

Good Read - #Eritrea: The Untold Struggle (ተመክሮ ክፍልታት ሰውራዊ ደጀን ሳሕል - ቅጺ 1)
* "...The historical significance of “ዘይተነግረ ገድሊ- ተመኩሮ ክፍሊ ማሕበራዊ ጉዳያት ህግሓኤ”lies in its ability to illuminate the untold stories and challenges of the Eritrean struggle for independence. The book helps readers of Eritrean history to have a holistic view of the liberation struggle. It serves as a vital resource for understanding the struggle for independence in its entirety. It captures the personal and collective experience from those who experienced the struggle firsthand. The book, a must-read, offers valuable lessons and insights, and it would be great if it is translated into other Eritrean and international languages".
