Potemkin Party's official media outlets - Ethiopian News Agency (ENA), EBC, and FANA among others - are yet again on overdrive mode this week to churn out, particularly in their domestic broadcasts, fallacious and incendiary vitriol against Eritrea on a daily basis.
The stale and obsolete themes, the inflammatory and provocative packaging, remain the same; i.e.
1. Denigration and denial of Eritrea's hard-won independence that was achieved through precious sacrifices in Africa's longest liberation struggle when its right to decolonization was suppressed in the 1940s on the altar of "overarching" geopolitical interests of some global powers;
2. Repeated and bellicose pronouncements, accompanied by incessant saber-rattling, on the Potemkin Party's inexorable quest for "sovereign access to the sea... through negotiations if possible and force if necessary";
3. Rationalization of a "wider war that would expand to Eritrea's Dahlak Islands for reasons of strategic depth", in order to project and guarantee, in its convoluted views, "viable maritime power";
4. Banal and spurious "economic arguments" for rationalizing war and invasion in order to avoid exorbitant "port fees"; etc.
These are red lines and political blasphemies that should not be countenanced by any normal country.
The sad fact is these are normative for a callous and reckless Potemkin Party that seems to specialize in incubating endless conflicts both at home and in the wider Horn of Africa region (illicit MoU with Somaliland; active and surrogate role in the exacerbation of the conflict in Sudan etc.).

The graduation ceremony was attended by President Isaias Afwerki, Ministers, senior Government and PFDJ officials, staff members of the training center, and invited guests.
In his keynote address, President Isaias Afwerki congratulated the students, their parents, and the staff of the center and urged the graduates, irrespective of their examination results, to pursue their academic studies through innovative initiatives.
President Isaias called on the graduates to understand the significant contribution they can make and the responsibility of initiatives place upon them for their personal development and the progress and well-being of their society and country. He also called on parents, families, and particularly the Ministry of Education to conduct regular follow-up on their future educational careers.
In his report, Col. Debesay Ghide, Commander of the National Service Training Centre, noted that members of the 38th round of National Service came from all six regions of the country. He said that they received 12th-grade academic education from August 2025 to March 2026 and military and political training from April 2026 until their graduation.
Col. Debesay also called for proper follow-up and encouragement to be provided to the graduates so that they preserve and strengthen the culture and discipline they developed during their stay in Sawa. He also commended all staff members of the training centre and other stakeholders for their contributions.
