https://t.co/gIcH5CA9py #Eritrea has lost an iconic actress and a woman of remarkable patriotism. I was honored to meet Zewdi Araya at the #Eritrean Festival in Italy in 2006 and have never forgotten the impression she left on me. She was elegant, confident, and refreshingly frank, yet equally warm and generous in her hospitality. Her presence commanded respect, and her deep love for Eritrea shone through in every conversation.

Like many Eritreans, I admired her contributions to our arts and culture and the pride with which she represented our country. She was not only a talented actress but also a woman of conviction whose grace and character inspired those around her.

My heartfelt condolences go to her family, friends, and countless admirers across the world. May they find solace in the enduring legacy she leaves behind and in the many lives she touched through her talent, patriotism, and kindness.

Rest in peace, Zewdi. Your elegance, confidence, and love for #Eritrea will be remembered always.

H.E. Mbelwa Kairuki, Tanzania's High Commissioner to the UK, and Mr Andargachew Tsige celebrated the 35th anniversary of Eritrean Independence with the people and government of Eritrea in London. This year's Independence Day was marked by the meaningful theme, “Our Resilience: Our Guarantee.” It is this resilience, demonstrated by Eritrea’s liberation fighters and the entire population, that brought a challenging three-decade-long struggle for independence to a triumphant conclusion. This enduring spirit continues to enable Eritrea to navigate a turbulent regional and international environment while firmly securing its sovereignty and territorial integrity. May we honour this great day!

Yesterday, I learned of the passing of Eritrean actress and producer Zeudi Araya. It is with a heavy heart that I reflect on the fact that Zeudi and I had been in communication for several months, and I had intended to visit her in Rome for an interview. Despite her quiet and reserved nature, she was open to sharing her remarkable journey, her deep love for Eritrea, and her contributions to cinema, including a documentary centred on Eritrea's path following independence.
Zeudi was a very special person. She began her career in 1972, when she shot a commercial for Tazza D'Oro coffee and was discovered by director Luigi Scattini. He cast her alongside Beba Lončar in "La ragazza dalla pelle di luna," filmed in the Seychelles. In 1973, she made her singing debut, recording two songs composed by Piero Umiliani for the score of another Scattini film, "The Off-Road Girl." From 1973 to 1975, she starred in several films produced by P.A.C., and in 1976, she became an exclusive actress for Cristaldi's Vides, appearing in several high-profile comedies.
This photograph, taken in Rome on May 26, 1991—two days after the EPLF liberated Asmara—captures a moment of joy as Zeudi graciously came backstage to greet us. The image is the work of the late Yosief Yohannes, a renowned Eritrean photographer.
My condolences go out to her son, Michael Angelo, and her family. Rest in peace, Zeudi. (10 February 1951 – 24 May 2026).

Happy Independence Day, my beloved land!

I wave this independence flag with open hand🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷

green for your fields, blue for your sea,
red for the courage that set you free.
I can’t wait to see you prosper and rise,
become the country you can possibly become,

strong and shining beneath African skies.
I can’t wait to see the vision and sacrifice
of so many people come to fruition at last
every dream fulfilled, every shadow cast.
From struggle to sunrise, your story gleams;
Eritrea, forever, live your brightest dreams!
Awet n’Hafash! Long live free Eritrea! 🎉

Audacity of Potemkin Party minions and their hired apologists is indeed beyond the pale.

The PP regime's delusional policies continue to foment, beyond any shred of doubt, unnecessary tension in the region:
- Exhibit 1: the illicit MOU that the PP regime signed stealthily with Somaliland in January 2024;
- Exhibit 2: the relentless media and diplomatic campaigns, accompanied by incessant saber-rattling, that the regime has unleashed since December 2023 to invade Assab in pursuit of its pipedream of "sovereign access to the sea";
- Exhibit 3: PP's widely reported (Yale University findings etc.) involvement in the conflict in the Sudan whose tentacles and dangerous ramifications (link below) are multi-layered and grave indeed.

Still, PP minions and their apologists accuse Eritrea and other countries in the region for "conspiracies... for forming an axis of powers" against Ethiopia.

These false flags are too transparent and cannot camouflage the real source and incubator of unnecessary and avoidable tension in the Horn of Africa region.

The lofty aspirations of the peoples of the region remain enduring peace and cooperation anchored on respect of each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity; not perennial conflicts to mollify elusive ambitions of hegemony and domination.

Thank you @hawelti for sharing this paper on the extensive and deeply unbalanced media campaign against #Eritrea that has persisted for decades. The issues raised in the paper provide valuable material for research and for understanding how Eritrea has been deliberately targeted through sophisticated political and intelligence-driven narratives. Young Eritreans should study these issues carefully and respond with awareness and critical engagement.

#Ethiopia is NOT safe. Even embassies are telling you.

Why gamble your safety for a photo-op in chaos when peace, dignity, and real hospitality exist just across the border?
Not every “trending destination” tells the truth. Some hide conflict behind filters. In 2026, smart travelers don’t follow hype… they follow reality. Eritrea offers what tourism should be: calm streets, genuine culture, and a country you can actually experience, not survive.

#Eritrea's 35th Independence Anniversary will be celebrated under the fitting theme: "Our Resilience: Our Guarantee".

The mantra is indeed a perfect epitome for the odyssey/historical trajectory of two Eritrean generations - the Yikaalo and Warsai generations - who had to summon and display unparalleled heroism and resilience and who were compelled to pay, in the process, precious sacrifices to ascertain and later protect their inviolable rights of decolonization and nationhood.

Indeed, the small nation had to endure and suffer under stifling and over-arching geopolitical calculus of major powers in the 1940s to be entangled in a bogus "Federal Arrangement" that soon degenerated into blatant annexation; conduct Africa's longest armed struggle for liberation after all its legal and peaceful pleas for redress were utterly ignored; face, in the aftermath of independence, imposed wars of destabilization against its sovereignty and territorial integrity; and, grapple with associated hostilities including unwarranted sanctions as well as subtle subterfuges of "strategic depopulation", unremitting defamation, etc. ርዝነት ናጽነትና እምበኣር ብዝሓለፎ ከቢድን መዘና-ኣልቦን ጉዕዞ'ዩ ዝትመን!

What a revealing argument and from a former U.S. ambassador, no less.🧠

You seem unable to distinguish between attachment to one’s country and endorsement of every hardship it has endured. Eritreans in the diaspora did not emerge in a vacuum. Many left in the shadow of war, sanctions, regional destabilization, economic strangulation, and a decades-long international campaign that treated Eritrea less as a nation to be understood than as a problem to be disciplined. Your uncivilised country being one of the leading bully.

So to first participate in, justify, or benefit from the policies that helped produce displacement, and then turn around and sneer, “Why don’t they go home?” is shows only your stupidity. It is intellectually bankrupt.

It is the political equivalent of breaking someone’s leg and then mocking them for using crutches.

To your idiotic second point. The fact that Eritrea has limited internet access does not prove what you think it proves. It certainly does not validate the tired fantasy that Eritreans abroad support their country only because they are too cowardly to live there. In reality, diaspora communities exist in almost every nation on earth, including countries Washington calls allies and models. People migrate for work, education, family, security, opportunity, or simple historical circumstance. That is not hypocrisy but modern history.

What is hypocrisy is this: Western officials spend years applauding coercive policies, punitive narratives, and diplomatic hostility toward a small African state, then act puzzled when large diaspora communities emerge and remain politically engaged. Eritreans abroad are then expected to perform gratitude toward the very order that helped fracture their national life, and if they refuse, they are called hypocrites.

No. Unlike you paid vulture, they are called independent-minded.

And the “paradise” line is just a cheap caricature.

Intellectual people understand that patriotism is not the claim that a country is flawless. It is the refusal to join foreign contempt for it. Eritreans in the diaspora can criticize the West, reject its hypocrisy, defend their country’s sovereignty, and still live abroad. There is no contradiction there unless one believes, in old imperial racist fashion, that migration to the West is an automatic moral conversion.

That, perhaps, is the real assumption underneath your mockery: that once an African leaves home and lives in Europe or America, he must adopt Western political judgments about his own country or be branded dishonest. That is racism and arrogance.

Frankly, it is embarrassing to see someone with ambassadorial credentials reduce a complex history of war, sanctions, displacement, sovereignty, and survival to a schoolyard taunt about Wi-Fi. How old are you? Did US education system failed you?

Mr Vulture, you are not exposing Eritrean hypocrisy. You are exposing your own inability to think beyond the most provincial clichés of Western foreign policy.

And that may be the most telling part of all. Fool.

LIBERIAN PRESIDENT JOSEPH BOAKAI LAUNCHED A DIRECT "ATTACK" ON TRUMP'S INSULTS!

[redpillbot @redpillb0t]

Former CIA officer and founder of the Marine Corps Intelligence Command, Robert David Steele, testified before the International Tribunal for Natural Justice on the systemic exploitation of children by powerful satanic elites.

He exposed that children are not only kidnapped but in some cases bred by families in the United States as a cash crop, sold without birth certificates, making it easier to kill them with no trace. He stated children are imported by the plane load, also without documentation.

Steele described this as extending beyond slavery and sex abuse to child torture for adrenalized blood in satanic blood-drinking ceremonies, harvesting of body organs (citing Falun Gong as targets due to their health), and ritual murder!

"We have people in the United States of America that breed children in order to sell them. And when they are sold, they come without birth certificates, which means it's easier to kill them and have no one ask where they are!"

"There's child torture because you have adrenalized blood. You have the whole blood drinking ceremony of the satanic world!"

President Isaias Afwerki has no problem walking freely among his people especially among Sawa graduates. This simple reality may offer a glimpse of who he truly is to those quick to label him a “dictator” under the influence of Western propaganda. He is not a man of privilege, but a leader who has spent his entire life fighting against exploitation both foreign and domestic and remains a steadfast champion of self-reliance for his people and his country.
