في جميع الأحوال، وقفت إريتريا بثبات مع الحق، ودعمت السودان بكل إخلاص. تُدرك إريتريا جيدًا أن المؤامرة التي تُحاك ضد السودان قد تستهدف جميع الدول الأفريقية، فرادى ومجتمعات. لذا، وبفضل موقعها الجغرافي والاستراتيجي وموقفها العادل، فإن لإريتريا دورًا محوريًا في معالجة هذا الصراع.
Conference on Adult Education Program
The Ministry of Education, in collaboration with partners, organized a conference on 9 and 10 October in Asmara focusing on the expansion of the adult education program across the country.
Mr. Petros Hailemariam, representative of the Minister of Education, indicated that since the days of the armed struggle for independence, the EPLF has been working to eradicate illiteracy, realizing its significance in expediting social change. Mr. Petros went on to say that since independence, the Government has been earnestly working to expand the program.
Noting that it is impossible to achieve reliable and sustainable development without eradicating illiteracy, Mr. Petros expressed his expectation that the conference will have significant input in designing a roadmap for the development of the program.
The participants conducted extensive discussions on the progress of adult education at the Ministry of Defense and schools, the current situation of the adult education program, the experience gained from the 2008 study on the program, the role of the Ministry of Education’s mass media in the effort, as well as the implementation of extension education programs.
Mr. Gebrezgi Dmam, Director General of Adult Education and Media at the Ministry of Education, said that efforts will be exerted to expand educational access and training in remote areas of the country, enhance the culture of reading, revive the productivity and creativity of citizens, and further expand the basic education program through mass media.
Potomkin Party (PP) sponsored/affiliated pundits - Horn Review et el - are indeed a strange breed who can float, with a straight face, outlandish and ludicrous assertions cloaked in "academic" garb.
The latest version dwells on "prospects" for Ethiopia to "rescind its Mother State's Permission" and recognition of Eritrea!
In the first place, Eritrea's independence was not granted on a "silver platter" by Ethiopia or any other power on earth.
Indeed, Eritrea's process of decolonization and inalienable right of independence should have been accomplished in the 1940's in accordance with international law and established norms and practices. But this inalienable right was suppressed to give primacy for, and mollify the "overriding geopolitical interests" of, the US and other powers. In the event, the Eritrean people were compelled to pay a huge sacrifice in Africa's longest war of national liberation to achieve their independence.
These are the indelible facts. And for their own sanity, apologists of occupation and colonial rule better grapple with their emotional/moral crises instead of wasting time in an elusive quest for untenable legal conjectures.
Eritrea’s Red Sea Sovereignty: An Irrevocable Reality https://t.co/tcAT2BHB37 via @Red Sea Beacon
#Eritrea: Statement by FM Osman Saleh at 7th Ministerial Meeting of the Group of Friends in Defense of UN Charter; NY, 26 September 2025
*"...Eritrea, a law-abiding nation that has immensely paid to achieve its independence and preserve its sovereignty and political independence, firmly upholds the cardinal principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations. It categorically rejects any reckless attempts transgressing these principles in pursuit of perceived geopolitical interests as these will lead to unprecedented regional and international destabilization".
*"...Several members of our Group, including Eritrea, have been and continue to be subjected to the illegal and unwarranted unilateral coercive measures (UCMs) – foreign policy toolboxes enacted to systematically deprive nations from their right to development. All types of UCMs must be rejected and annulled immediately and unconditionally".

S#Eritrea: Statement by Foreign Minister Osman Saleh at Special High-Level Event on Climate Action
*"...The State of Eritrea is fully committed to a path of climate resilience and low-carbon development. As a testimony of this, we have prepared our ambitious third Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), which will be submitted prior to COP30".
*"...Eritrea is ready to do its part within its internal capacity to deter the effects of Climate change in particular and environmental degradation at large. The Government of the state of Eritrea remains politically committed in mobilizing its financial and human resource. Having said that, we call upon the international community and specially most polluter countries to live up to their historical responsibility in doing what is required from them, by taking the lead in addressing ground-breaking measures domestically and sharing the knowledge, skill and technology they acquired and mobilizing adequate financial resources that are reliable and accessible to who needs and when they need it most. Eritrea believes concerted effort can make a big difference".

FM Osman Saleh met yesterday, on the margins of UNGA80, Mr. Massad Fares Boulos, US Senior Advisor for African Affairs to President Trump to discuss avenues for renewed engagement between the two countries as well as the prospects of collaboration on vital matters of regional peace and stability.
This important meeting must be seen as a prelude to, and harbinger of, a new chapter of normative bilateral ties that will reverse almost two decades of adversity, that included unwarranted sanctions imposed on Eritrea with deleterious consequences, in the interests of both countries and the Horn of Africa region as a whole.

Remarks by Ambassador Sophia Tesfamariam at 3rd Meeting of the National Coordinators of the Group of Friends in Defense of the UN Charter; Moscow, 14-15 April 2025
"...As we recommit to address the ramifications and legacies of global injustices, it is incumbent upon all member states to uphold the sacred principles of sovereign equality, territorial integrity, political independence, non-interference in the domestic affairs, peaceful settlement of disputes, and prohibition of the threat or use of force. These core principles of the UN Charter and international law must govern the friendly relations and cooperation among all states – big or small, rich or poor".
"...The requisite political goodwill galvanized among our Group of Friends in the last years certainly deserves applaud. We need to leverage on these achievements by taking concrete steps to further coordinating and harmonizing positions in matters of common interests and concerns. Instead of dwelling on specific issues, the fundamental principles should continue guiding our collective vision and aspiration. To strengthening and deepening our shared objectives, a qualitative expansion of our membership is also crucial."

[BREAKING] British Foreign Minister spoke to the #Ethiopian foreign minister, Gedion Timotheos, in August informing him : The British Government’s position is that [#Eritrea & #Ethiopia] must pursue commercial access to the sea through peaceful, negotiated means. The #UK does not support aggressive action or rhetoric that threatens a country���s sovereignty and territorial integrity. The previous Foreign Secretary [David Lammy] spoke to Ethiopia’s Foreign Minister [Gedion Timotheos] in August, when he warned against the risk of miscalculation and encouraged dialogue with Eritrea. Similar points have been made to the Eritrean Government by our officials there."

Vanity on the Red Sea: Ethiopia’s Dangerous Delusion
Addis Ababa cloaks old-fashioned expansionism in the language of survival, but its bid for a seaport is nothing more than colonial arrogance reborn.
Ethiopia that once preached that Africa’s borders were sacred. Now it threatens to tear them apart for the sake of vanity and power.
In 1963, Ethiopia lectured Africa that colonial borders must never be touched. Prime Minister Aklilu Habte-Wold warned that to revise them would unleash endless wars. Six decades later, Ethiopia itself is the one rattling sabers, demanding a seaport, and threatening to annex Eritrean, Somali, or Djiboutian territory if denied. The hypocrisy could not be more glaring, or more dangerous.
Ethiopia justifies its ambition with the same arguments Europe once used to carve up Africa. First comes the economic refrain: “our growth requires it, our future and our existence depends on it”. This is the language of plunder, not partnership. Eritrea and its neighbors are sovereign states, not Ethiopia’s lifeline.
Then comes the geopolitical excuse: “we are vulnerable without our own outlet to the sea”. Britain said the same of the Suez Canal; France said the same of Djibouti. But strategy never sanctified invasion then, and it cannot justify invasion now.
Finally, the appeal to national pride: Ethiopia claims that “a great nation cannot remain landlocked”. That is not cooperation, it is vanity. Vanity is exactly what drove European empires to plant flags across Africa. Vanity is what Menelik II invoked when, with European rifles in hand, he annexed Oromo, Somali, and Sidama lands to build modern Ethiopia.
This is the bitter truth: Ethiopia’s arguments are not new. They are the colonial playbook, dusted off and draped in the Ethiopian flag and PP’s empty slogan. And just as Africa once rejected Europe’s colonial claims, it must now reject Ethiopia’s.
The Horn of Africa is not Ethiopia’s playground. Sovereignty is not a bargaining chip. If Addis Ababa insists on echoing the colonizers, it deserves the same answer they received: rejection, resistance, and rebuke.
