Hoax News Story on the Phantom “Eritrean Oil Tanker”
The Embassy of the State of Eritrea in London refers to reports carried by supposedly reputable news outlets including Reuters, AFP, BBC and others about the hijacking on 20 August 2026 off the coast of Yemen of what they wrongly claim to be an “Eritrean flagged” oil tanker.
This bizarre story is astounding on many counts:
The reports invariably cite the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) as the primary source of their “information”. The Eritrean Embassy in the UK wishes to clarify that in the first place, the report by UKMTO (UKMTO Hijack #118) makes no mention of the said ship being “Eritrean flagged”. UKMTO has re-iterated this fundamental fact to the Embassy in its response to its official request for clarification this week.
Furthermore, all the information in the public domain about this ship shows that it is not owned by, and has no links whatsoever with, Eritrea. This ship is part and parcel of the growing number of ships in what the IMO categorizes, in its parlance, as the “Shadow Fleet”.
Indeed, the IMO maintains that the ship (with Registration IMO 920476) is clearly categorized as being of “indeterminate ownership” in its official documents. Eritrea’s Permanent Mission to the IMO has confirmed that IMO records show that “the ship is flying a false Eritrean flag; i.e. as not owned or officially registered in Eritrea”.
These are the true facts. Yet, the usual culprits chose to abandon all semblance of journalistic standards to indulge and unleash another despicable campaign of disinformation on Eritrea.

#Eritrea: Statement at Fourth Regional Ministerial Steering Committee (ReSCO);
(Delivered by Ambassador Beyene Russom, Ambassador of the State of Eritrea to Kenya and Tanzania, on behalf of H.E. Ms. Amna Nurhussien; Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, )
*"...Eritrea strongly believes that resilient primary health care is the foundation of both improved health outcomes and stronger health security. We have invested in a community-based primary health care system anchored in a cost-effective Basic Health Care Package that extends essential services to rural, remote and nomadic communities".
*"...The backbone of this system is our network of more than 300 health facilities and over 3,000 community health agents, who serve as the first line of defense in disease detection, maternal and child healthcare, and health promotion".
*"..Through the Expanded Programme on Immunization and the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness, Eritrea has maintained immunization coverage above 90 per cent and reduced under-five mortality by more than 70 per cent since 1990".
*"...Regarding financing, more than 85 per cent of Eritrea’s health budget is domestically sourced. This reflects our firm commitment to health sovereignty"
*"...We also welcome innovation in digital health, solar-powered health facilities and the local production of essential medicines to reduce supply-chain vulnerabilities... We remain aligned with the regional objective of reducing the number of zero-dose children and building integrated and resilient primary health care systems".
&"...Eritrea reaffirms its commitment to Africa CDC, the regional priorities that will emerge from this meeting, and the achievement of a stronger, healthier and more self-reliant Africa".

Eritrea’s Sovereignty Is Not Negotiable: Neither Is the Sovereignty of Any Other African Nation
Embassy of the State of Eritrea
Washington, D.C.
17 August 2026
*"...At the heart of current Eritrea-Ethiopia tensions is a fundamental question that should not be obscured: commercial access to a port is one matter; sovereignty over another country’s coastline or territory is entirely another".
*"...Eritrea has no territorial claim against Ethiopia, demands no Ethiopian land or resources, and seeks no alteration of Ethiopia’s internationally recognized borders. Eritrea has never, in recorded history, opposed Ethiopia’s legitimate commercial use of regional ports through mutually negotiated arrangements. Landlocked countries throughout the world conduct international commerce through neighboring coastal states without acquiring sovereignty over their territory. In fact, commercial necessity creates opportunities for cooperation among countries; it does not create territorial entitlement".
*"...The overall principle at stake extends far beyond Eritrea. Africa’s interstate order rests on respect for inherited international colonial boundaries, sovereign equality, and territorial integrity. If established borders can be reopened because one country is larger, landlocked, economically ambitious or considers another state’s territory strategically necessary, virtually no African boundary would remain immune from challenge".
*"...Eritrea claims no territory belonging to another state and seeks peaceful, mutually beneficial relations with Ethiopia and all its neighbors. What is not open to negotiation is Eritrea’s sovereignty and territorial integrity".
*"...Eritrea’s sovereignty is not a geopolitical bargaining chip. It is an internationally recognized legal right, and the same right upon which the security, sovereignty and territorial integrity of every African nation ultimately depend".

Okay,I have met this super woman, her name is Stacey, she is Bulgarian. She stared at the eclipse for about 5 minutes straight. And I asked her, is she not worried that her eyes being damaged? And she said, don't believe to all what you hear. We need this energy in our system. I was mesmerised by the eclipse and her! She allowed me to use her photos.
The current PP Ambassador to #Kenya and a Millitary general and long-term POW in #Eritrea during Dergue regime has been huffing and puffing dangerous statements to @BBCAmharicNew in an interview yet to be released.
It's not worth replying to his highly irresponsible and insidious statements to this clownish figure. However, it's a clear sign of desperation of PP's leadership who are holding to power desperately.
And the @BBC has to look into their editorial guidelines in this case, where Ambassador @ButaDubi is talking about mass-murders and the wiping of neighboring countries from the map of East #Africa.
#Eri101: For decades, Eritrea's enemies left no stone unturned to erase it from the map.
Yet Eritrea endures, thrives, & remains a pillar of regional peace & stability; stands tall as a bulwark of the principles of sovereignty, territorial integrity & independence.
#Eri101: The name Eritrea 🇪🇷 derives from the Red Sea—Mare Erythraean (Latin) and Erythra Thalassa (Ancient Greek). The Red Sea also lends its name to Mare Erythraeum on Mars. Yet, under international law, Eritrea's sovereignty does not extend to all places that share its name.
Every time I see Abiy Ahmed, I cannot help but think of him as someone who repeatedly betrays and double-crosses those around him. He begged and pleaded with Eritrea for support against the TPLF, even serving tea at President Isaias's residence in an effort to secure Eritrea's backing. Yet, while Eritrean forces were still on the battlefield fighting to help his leadership in Ethiopia against the TPLF, he asked Tsadkan and Getachew during the very first negotiations with the TPLF to attack Eritrea.
How can anyone place their trust in him? I find it difficult to believe that even those closest to him truly do. He has no integrity and always turn against his allies whenever it serves his political survival. Look at Lemma Megersa, Degu Andargachew, Demeke Mekonen, .....
The annihilation of the Amhara people under his government has been barbaric and painful to witness. Yet now, after years of missery, he appears on television calling on the very same Amhara people to prepare for another war against Tigray. Shameless..
Abiy has neither an iota of moral nor any apparent hesitation in abandoning his allies for today's political expediency.

Note Eritrea suspended its membership from IGAD in 2006. Now Eritrea has withdrawn its membership!
Eritrea’s reason for withdrawal from IGAD is "Unfortunately, over time and especially since 2005, IGAD has not only failed to meet the aspirations of the peoples of the region, but instead played a deleterious role becoming a tool against targeted Member States; particularly #Eritrea. These unwarranted acts prompted Eritrea to suspend its membership in April 2007."
And the glaring evidence is attached
A Kenyan politician specializing in foreign relations and security put it bluntly: “It is #Ethiopia that stands accused of irredentism.” He added that Addis Ababa now finds itself increasingly isolated — with virtually every major actor, from the #US and #SaudiArabia to #China, the #ArabLeague, and multiple #African states — telling Ethiopia that its approach is unacceptable, leaving the country on the defensive diplomatically.
He stressed that it is perfectly normal for a landlocked state to seek sea access through bilateral agreements with its neighbours — #Eritrea, #Djibouti, or #Somalia. But it becomes an entirely different matter when a country starts entertaining the idea of seizing territory by force, imposing a naval base, and projecting military power at the expense of its neighbours. According to him, even Ethiopia’s closest partners have made it clear: this path is beyond the pale.
