Good Read: #Eritrean Beauty Engraved in Names
by Kidane Shimendi
"With its enchanting landscapes, warm hospitality, profound peace, sweeping coastal vistas dotted with remarkable islands, rich historical tapestry, and diverse cultural heritage, Eritrea presents a mosaic of splendor. These elements are genuinely interwoven to shape Eritrea’s unique identity. Nowhere is this beauty more quietly yet powerfully recorded than in the names carried by its places".

Hail #African Liberation Day!
Until the continent of #Africa completely breaks free off the chains & shackles of #neocolonialism, the continent will always remain divided, poor & continuously ravaged by famines, diseases, wars & chaos.

What a fantastic ending to a beautiful commemoration. In the presence of H.E. Isaias Afwerki, ministers, senior officials of the People's Front for Democracy and Justice, military commanders, religious leaders, diplomats, youth, and families gathered at #Asmara Stadium, the magnificent fireworks display is more than a celebration, it is a powerful expression of #Eritrea’s national journey.
Every sparkle that illuminated the Asmara night sky carried the memory of sacrifice, resilience, and triumph. Each burst of light symbolized the courage of the martyrs, the steadfastness of the tegadelti, and the unbreakable bond between the Eritrean people and their hard-won sovereignty.
As the colors danced above the stadium, they reflected the hopes of a nation that has endured immense trials yet continues to stand with dignity, confidence, and unity 35 years after independence. The thunderous applause and emotion transformed the evening into a living tribute to #Eritrea’s history, pride, and collective future.
Happy 35th Independence Anniversary to the people of #Eritrea everywhere, may the spirit of resilience, unity, and national pride continue to shine brightly for generations to come.🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪���🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷

Keynote Address by President Isaias Afwerki on the Occasion of 35th Independence Anniversary
Asmara, 24 May 2026
*"...The establishment of a new global order founded upon fairness and justice must be regarded as one of humanity’s foremost missions and should not be relegated to the side-lines".
*"...Last year, I addressed issues in what we call our neighbourhood; specifically, the Nile Basin, the Horn of Africa, the Red Sea, and the Gulf, with particular reference to Ethiopia and the Sudan. Because the global vulnerability of the region has worsened, following the crisis surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, the importance of collective security mechanism based on an agreement and cooperation among the States in the neighbourhood – rather than the normalized interventionist policies of self-proclaimed regional powers and external actors – that we have been advocating for long has, once again, become abundantly clear. It is high-time that serious efforts are exerted towards this end".
*"...As it will be recalled, I had elaborated, during last year’s Independence Day celebrations, on our development programmes and priorities across various sectors. While the concept itself is not new, the short-term objective remains improving our people’s livelihood, with priority to marginalized and underserved regions. The broader and long-term development programme consists of extricating the country from subsistence economy. It encompasses strengthening productivity, ensuring sustainable growth in production, laying the foundations for advanced processing and value-added industrial manufacturing, and service sectors. Beyond the economic dimension, these priorities also extend to encompass the diplomatic and informational domains".
*"...Road and transportation projects will be expanded according to plan. Extensive housing programmes will also proceed in parallel. Implementation of projects aimed at expanding electricity and water services will start within this year in spite of potential delays in supply chains. In the sphere of social services, particular emphasis will be placed on education, beginning from the pre-school level with broad popular participation. Likewise, the expansion of quality healthcare services will be pursued vigorously".
*"...Kudos to the dedicated, hardworking, courageous, patient, and steadfast people of Eritrea, along with the ever-present Defense Forces; the kernel, strong shield, and cornerstone of our development programs. Even if obstacles are encountered, there is no cause for apprehension. Rest assured!"

🇪🇷 LEGENDS & LEGACY: Inside Zurich’s Insane 35th Eritrea Independence Celebration! ✨
Some celebrations are loud, but #Eritrea35 in Zurich was absolute magic! 🇨🇭✨ The energy was unmatched, but the true highlight of my night was a deeply humbling moment of connection with two absolute titans of Eritrean culture.
I had the immense privilege of meeting the legendary singers Eng. Asgedom and Mihret Zerhanes! 🎤👑
Hearing their warmth and respect was incredibly grounding. I expressed my deepest appreciation for their lifelong devotion to Eritrean music and arts—they have truly shaped the soundtrack of a nation's resilience.
Here is why this night will stay with me forever:
🔴 A Humbled Heart: Receiving praise from icons you deeply respect is a feeling words can barely capture. 🔵 Cultural Giants: Eng. Asgedom and Mihret Zerhanes aren't just artists; they are living repositories of Eritrean history and spirit.
🟢 Global Fever: While Zurich was unforgettable, Eritreans absolutely torched the scale globally this year, with the home celebrations topping them all!
"Art is the soul of a nation, and those who sing its struggles keep its freedom alive forever." 👇 Watch the video below to hear my full reflection on this unforgettable encounter and the beautiful words exchanged!

🚨 Sanction Ethiopian Airlines Now Not a Civilian Carrier, but a Military Transport in Disguise
So Ethiopian Airlines is now flying foreign troops into conflict zones under a “passenger” label?
Let’s be real this isn’t aviation. It’s quiet militarization dressed as civilian travel.
From Addis to Port-au-Prince, the same airline that sells comfort and connectivity is now tied to covert troop movements. No transparency. There is no accountability. It's just plausible deniability.
When a national carrier blurs the line between civilian service and military logistics, it’s not just unethical it’s dangerous. Trust collapses, and international norms are undermined.
Sanctions aren’t extreme they’re necessary when civilian infrastructure is used to mask military operations.

The blueprint of Eritrean excellence. 🇪🇷
Yesterday, a fighter for freedom.
Today, the pillar of sporting success.
Watching an Eritrean mother motivate the youth in the streets of Asmara is watching a nation build itself one pedal stroke at a time. The legacy continues. 🏁
