THE UAE’S BID FOR UN POWER

A STATE ACCUSED OF WAR CRIMES SHOULD NOT LEAD THE INSTITUTIONS MEANT TO STOP THEM

By David Yeh

…International human rights organizations and diplomatic opponents argue that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) should not hold prominent United Nations positions due to allegations of war crimes, human rights violations, and actions that directly undermine the UN’s foundational mission.
… The UAE has actively promoted Lana Nusseibeh, Minister of State and former UAE Permanent Representative to the UN, as a potential late-stage candidate to become the next UN Secretary General. The Profile: Nusseibeh gained widespread international recognition during the UAE’s 2022–2023 tenure on the UN Security Council, balancing delicate diplomacy such as condemning Hamas’s October 7 attacks while simultaneously criticizing Israel’s subsequent military actions in Gaza.

THREE SCENARIOS FACING COLONEL ABIY AHMED’S POTEMKIN PARTY REGIME AND ITS TIGRAYAN ENABLERS

By Simon K. Hagos

The political and security landscape in the Horn of Africa is entering a critical phase. Ethiopia’s Bigwig Colonel Abiy Ahmed and his Potemkin Party regime face difficult choices as tensions with Eritrea and internal political instability continue to shape the region. For those Tigrayan political actors who have aligned themselves with or enabled Abiy’s political agenda, the coming period may prove equally consequential. Three possible scenarios illustrate the choices confronting this political alliance.

ERITREA’S SOVEREIGNTY IS NOT NEGOTIABLE: THE FINALITY OF THE ALGIERS AGREEMENT AND THE CASE FOR ANTICIPATORY SELF-DEFENCE UNDER THE UN CHARTER
When threats become an existential danger, international law must not be reduced to a demand that the threatened state wait to be attacked
By PI Demoz

Eritrea’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and independence are not bargaining chips. Ethiopia’s strategic ambitions and desire for Red Sea access cannot override international law or reopen territorial questions already settled through binding international agreements.
The central issue is twofold: whether Ethiopia can lawfully challenge Eritrea’s sovereignty over Assab, and whether credible evidence of an imminent armed attack could justify anticipatory self-defence under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter.
… The United Nations Security Council must treat credible threats against Eritrea’s territorial integrity seriously.
Its responsibility includes examining authenticated evidence, discouraging military escalation, and reinforcing respect for the Algiers Agreement, the EEBC determination, and the 2018 Jeddah commitments.

They call themselves African experts. In reality, they're just war merchants profiting from African people pain and miseries.
Those proclaimed 'experts' turned African conflict into propaganda. They don't analyze conflict. They sell it.

[David Yeh @Yehdavid]

#Eritrea's Sovereignty Is Not Negotiable: The Case for Anticipatory Self-Defence is Under the UN Charter. Int'l law can't require a state to wait to be attacked. Assab is settled: Algiers Agreement final & binding, EEBC 2002 + 2007, Jeddah 2018.

Foreign interference is pushing East Africa to the brink. Through financial and political backing, external actors like the UAE—operating via proxies like Abiy Ahmed and RSF—are fueling devastating conflicts across #Sudan, #Somalia, and #Ethiopia, and attempting to destabilize #Eritrea.

​Let’s be clear: The Eritrean government and its people have always rejected foreign manipulation and chaos. Eritrea has stood firm against external agendas for decades, and it will prevail once again. Peace, sovereignty, and stability in the Horn of Africa cannot be bought. 🇪🇷

[#InvestInEritrea 👩🏿‍🔧 🇪🇷🇪🇷 @DahlaKib]

The 1998–2000 Eritrea–Ethiopia war caused enormous human suffering. The Algiers Agreement was signed in 2000, and the Eritrea–Ethiopia Boundary Commission issued its delimitation decision in 2002. The boundary was subsequently demarcated virtually in 2007. Ethiopia’s previous government delayed implementation of the agreement despite its binding nature. When Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed came to power, he publicly declared acceptance of the boundary decision and signed peace agreements with Eritrea in Asmara and Jeddah in 2018. Eritrea accepted the peace process and moved forward. Yet, in recent years, renewed statements and actions by Ethiopian leaders have raised serious concerns about Eritrea’s sovereignty and the risk of another conflict. How many times must the people of Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa pay the price for political ambitions and threats of war?
When will Ethiopian leaders prioritize their own people’s safety and respect the sovereignty of neighboring countries? And when will the international community move beyond statements of concern and take meaningful diplomatic action to prevent renewed aggression, uphold international agreements, and protect regional peace? Respect sovereignty. Honor agreements. Prevent another war. #UAEhandsOffAfrica #UAEoutOfAfrica

ABIY AHMED’S EXPANSIONIST AMBITIONS: A THREAT TO PEACE IN THE HORN OF AFRICA
By Ibrahim A Ibrahim

When Abiy came to power in 2018, Eritrea extended a hand of peace and embraced historic reconciliation. Eritrea hoped the new Ethiopian leadership would usher in cooperation, mutual respect, and peaceful coexistence. Instead, early hopes have given way to renewed distrust and mounting tensions.
…Most alarming is Ethiopia’s growing emphasis on securing Red Sea access through Assab, Eritrea’s sovereign port.

[AHMED M. IBRAHIM @AHMEDMIBRAHIM6]

أربع كلمات، وأزمة قيادة واحدة
إثيوبيا والنفوذ الأجنبي ومستقبل القرن الأفريقي

بقلم أحمد إبراهيم

ሰነፍ ፡ ነዳይ ፡ ሱሱዕ ፡ ፈራሕ
كسول · مرتهن · جشع · خائف

لا تُقاس القيادة بارتفاع صوتها، ولا باستعراض أسلحتها، ولا بوعود العظمة؛ بل بقدرتها على حماية شعبها، ومعالجة أزماته، واحترام سيادة جيرانها.

وتختصر هذه الكلمات التغرينية الأربع، بوصفها استعارات سياسية، أسئلة جوهرية ينبغي طرحها على قيادة آبي أحمد:

ሰነፍ — كسول
حين تنشغل القيادة بالمظاهر والطموحات الخارجية، وتؤجل مسؤوليات المصالحة وإعادة الإعمار وبناء الثقة، فإن النشاط الإعلامي لا يعوّض غياب الإنجاز. لا يستطيع ميناء أن يحكم بلدًا، ولا تستطيع مغامرة خارجية أن تعالج الانقسام الداخلي.

ነዳይ — مرتهن
تُستخدم الكلمة هنا بمعناها السياسي: الاعتماد على الخارج. فالشراكة الدولية تصبح عبئًا حين يرتبط بقاء السلطة برضا الرعاة ودعمهم. وعلاقة إثيوبيا بالإمارات، كغيرها من الشراكات الخارجية، يجب أن تخضع للشفافية والمساءلة: هل تخدم مصالح الشعب والسلام الإقليمي، أم تزيد مخاطر التورط في صراعات الآخرين؟

ሱሱዕ — جشع
السعي إلى تسهيلات تجارية مشروع، لكن الحاجة الاقتصادية لا تمنح حقًا في أرض الجار. الوصول إلى الموانئ يُنظَّم بالتفاوض والموافقة الحرة؛ ولا يمنح ملكية الساحل أو السيادة عليه. عصب أرض إريترية، وأي تعاون بشأنها يجب أن يقوم على احترام السيادة الإريترية.

ፈራሕ — خائف
القيادة الواثقة تقبل النقد وتتحمل المساءلة. أما تحويل الخلافات إلى معارك وجودية، واستدعاء الخصومة الخارجية كلما تعقد الداخل، فيضعف فرص الحل. والشجاعة السياسية تشمل الاعتراف بالخطأ، وخفض التصعيد، واختيار السلام.

لقد حمل إعلان السلام والصداقة لعام 2018 وعدًا بالتعاون وإنهاء العداء. وقيمة ذلك الوعد تتجسد في السلوك: احترام الحدود، والوفاء بالالتزامات، وتسوية الخلافات بالحوار.

على حكومة آبي أحمد أن تجعل رفض الحرب سياسة موثوقة، وأن تعالج المظالم الداخلية بعملية سياسية شاملة. وعلى الإمارات وسائر القوى الخارجية أن تحترم حق شعوب المنطقة في تقرير مستقبلها، بعيدًا عن صراعات النفوذ.

يمكن لازدهار إثيوبيا واستقلال إريتريا وأمن السودان أن تتعزز معًا. فلا مصلحة لشعوب القرن الأفريقي في حرب جديدة، ولا يجوز أن يدفع المواطنون ثمن طموحات قادتهم.

الحرب لا تبني وطنًا.
السلام والعدالة وحسن الجوار تبنيه.

#Eritreans defend #Eritrea’s sovereignty across social media and other platforms not because its sovereignty is in dispute or needs proving, but to shield unsuspecting readers from the deluge of lies, fabrications, and shameless propaganda unleashed by #Ethiopia's Prosperity Party–paid disinformation merchants.

Their mission is to flood social media with deception, distort reality, and manufacture false narratives in the hope that repetition will make lies look like facts. Eritreans speak out to expose this propaganda for what it is before it misleads those who lack the time to separate fact from fiction. #EritreaPrevails

[Elias Amare ኤልያስ ኣማረ @EliasAmare]

#Eritrea will NOT compromise on its sovereignty. Its ports will NOT be open—even for commercial access—to an aggressor with expansionist ambitions. #Ethiopian regime is prisoner of its war agenda &is unable to extricate itself from the quagmire of its own making. The die is cast.

Exemplary Eritrean farmer honored as one of FAO’s Women Heroes

The Public Relations Division of the Ministry of Agriculture reported that exemplary Eritrean farmer Ms. Rozina Mebrahtom was honored as one of the “FAO 100 Women Heroes 2026” by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in Rome, Italy, on 16 October 2026, in connection with World Food Day celebrations.

Ms. Rozina was selected from among over 600 exemplary women from 131 countries, becoming one of the 100 honorees and a source of pride for Eritrea in general and Eritrean women farmers in particular.

According to information obtained from the Food and Agriculture Organization, Ms. Rozina earned this recognition for her ability to restore land, conserve natural resources, and champion organic farming. She made intensive efforts to transform rugged, barren, saline land unsuitable for cultivation into fertile and productive agricultural land.

The report further stated that she demonstrated these achievements through her commitment to environmental responsibility, sustainable agriculture, food security, and improved livelihoods, making a significant impact on agricultural and food systems.

Ms. Rozina Mebrahtom is an exemplary farmer engaged in integrated farming, including crop and vegetable production and livestock development, in Mesalih, in the Tekondae administrative area, Adi Keih sub-zone, Southern Region.

It is recalled that Ms. Rozina also received an award at the National Potato Conference held in Asmara in 2022 for the high yield of selected potato seeds achieved on her farm.

Ms. Rozina explained that her husband began the farming venture. After he passed away 12 years ago, she and her children spent ten years hauling sand, fertile soil, and manure from other locations to transform the site into fertile agricultural land.
