Abiy Ahmed Ali of ETHIOPI is a fake from his diploma of education to his current power. He deceives the public by repeating what he hears from Tik Tok and YouTube. He also took the Nobel Prize by cheating, he should be withdrawn.
As a proud 🇪🇷n I carry deep respect & heartfelt gratitude 4 Z people of #Sudan Our history binds us & their kindness will never be forgotten.I stand 1st with my own people but after serving #Eritrea I would give my full support to z Sudanese people with z same sincerity & respect
Despite three decades of inhuman, harsh and unjust economic sanctions imposed by Western powers—and the persistent propaganda by Western media and those selfish individuals who claim to be “justice seekers”
#Eritrea stands - building its youth and future human resource
I am entirely fascinated—and frankly mesmerized—by the thousands of declassified U.S. Foreign Relations documents, especially those revealing how the U.S. and the U.K. worked to help Haile Selassie unjustly transfer the #European colony of #Eritrea to the #African empire of #Ethiopia.
Their own documents clearly show their motives were driven purely by geopolitical interests, not by justice or self-determination. What Eritrea has argued for decades is now written clearly proven, in black and white, straight from the horse’s mouth.
As this particular document (attached) shows, Ethiopia cared very little about Eritrea’s territorial integrity. Haile Selasie was perfectly willing to see Eritrea carved up—its western lands pushed into Sudan and the rest absorbed by Ethiopia—so long as the Emperor secured access to the sea. This alone is a telling sign that Eritrea was never historically ruled by Ethiopia; if it were, Ethiopia would not be bargaining away its “own” territory so casually.
The British, meanwhile, behaved like a child let loose in a cookie shop and they were still convinced that the British Empire would endure for centuries, they busied themselves redrawing borders to suit their imagined imperial future. Their goals were clear:
1) To place the arable and mineral-rich western lowlands of Eritrea under the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan (today’s Sudan).
3) To merge British Somaliland, Italian Somaliland, and the Ogaden into a Greater Somalia under British protection—an idea Haile Selassie was willing to entertain as long as he received Assab and its surrounding areas.
3) To flirt with the idea of a Tigray–Tigrigni territory under British influence.
The Americans, new on the global stage, were also carving out spheres of influence. Partly out of sympathy for Haile Selassie—humiliated during his exile—and partly because they saw him as a useful anti-communist ally during the early Cold War, the U.S. viewed Ethiopia as a strategic asset. Eritrea became collateral.
The Italians, defeated in World War II, had little leverage. Their demands were modest: trusteeship over #Asmara and #Massawa, and guarantees for the rights of Italians living in Eritrea.
Against this backdrop, this March 1950 declassified U.S. State Department document (attached) shows how the U.S. and U.K. were preparing for the upcoming vote in the UN regarding Eritrea’s fate. It exposes the clear sabotage, maneuvering, and manipulation outside the formal UN process:
Washington feared the rapidly deteriorating situation in Eritrea. Rising tensions among Eritreans, prominent Italians such as Barrattoli being killed and terrorized by Ethiopians threatened peace—and raised the possibility that the UN Commission of Inquiry might favor independence, something neither the U.S. nor the U.K. wanted.
The U.S. and U.K. were anxious that the UN Commission might fail to reach a clear recommendation. Without a decisive outcome, the General Assembly might not achieve the required two-thirds majority—or worse, might vote for Eritrean independence. The U.S. and U.K. therefore agreed on a shared position to split Eritrea into two:
Most of Eritrea → to Ethiopia
Western Province → to #Sudan
This plan reflected the dominance of the emerging post-WWII powers, not the will of Eritreans. The U.S. advised Ethiopia to appear flexible—to signal acceptance of partition—so that the UN would view Ethiopia as reasonable and deserved of a favorable outcome.
The U.S. State Department warned Ethiopia not to threaten unrest if it did not receive Eritrea. Such arguments could backfire, portraying Ethiopia as aggressive or coercive in its approach.
The U.S. and U.K. sought to jointly reaffirm their position in order to steer the UN deliberations and shape the final outcome.
The U.S. also pushed for renewed Italian–Ethiopian negotiations, preferring talks based on the previous Geneva formula and ideally held in London.
This was part of keeping the entire process within Western control. Most strikingly, Eritrean self-determination was completely absent. The discussion focused entirely on:
- U.S. strategic interests (Red Sea access, Cold War calculations, and control of the Kagnew Station intelligence base in Asmara)
- U.K. imperial interests
- Italian and Ethiopian demands
Eritrean voices were almost entirely excluded. The fate of Eritrea was negotiated by powerful states over a territory whose people were denied a seat at the table.

The Potemkin Party leader, Abiy Ahmed, has once again been publicly exposed as a pathological liar - and Endagachew Tiga was used as his messenger between Eritrea and Ethiopia back in 2018. But in that interview, Endagachew ended up revealing the truth: Abiy is not trustworthy. He lies to every side, shifts narratives just to survive politically, and his behavior keeps getting worse.

“አባቶቻችን ተማርከዋል፡ እኛም ተደግመናል!”
“Our fathers were captured POWs, & the same fate has befallen us.”
Bacha Debele, former Dergue soldier taken POW by #Eritrean EPLF—now #Ethiopia's diplomat—has become a vicious warmonger, who fails to learn the sorrows of war.😥
Potemkin Party (PP) senior officials seem to have contracted a severe case of historical amnesia.
In a bizarre and rather amusing announcement to the "House of Representatives" this week, the PP's leader stated that "he had scoured every archive in Addis Abeba - the Prime Minister's Office, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Cabinet minutes, and parliamentary records - yet found no official record or institutional decision how Ethiopia lost access to the Red Sea".
Hopefully, this debilitating disease is at its incipient or early phase.
* Indeed, only seven years ago, on 9 July 2018 and accompanied by senior officials of his regime including the then Foreign Minister and now Secretary General of IGAD, he had signed in Asmara the Joint Declaration of Peace and Friendship between Eritrea and Ethiopia. The kernel and cardinal content of this Agreement revolved on the "implementation of the Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission (EEBC) decision", which affirmed Eritrea's internationally recognized boundary for more than a century in accordance with the Treaties of 1900, 1902 and 1908.
* In another moment of truth in those times, Ethiopia's Army Chief of Staff confessed that "he and his colleagues were embarrassed in May 1998 when the incumbent government publicly accused Eritrea of aggression while it was the Ethiopian army which actually unleashed the war in the first place ". Today, he seems to be infected by this collective amnesia as he tries to justify his incessant saber-rattling and agenda of war on spurious pretexts in contravention of international law and Eritrea's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
*Similarly, another PP General, Bacha Debele, confessed, three years ago, about the disastrous defeat that the Ethiopian army contingent had suffered - in his graphic words "ተጨፈጨፍን/we were completely annihilated " - on the Bure Front when it attempted to occupy Assab in June 2000. Apparently infected by the same historical amnesia, this retired General has joined the chorus to clamour for another cycle of irredentist war of aggression against Eritrea in order to occupy Assab.
The incipient, even if already severe, disease of collective amnesia that has gripped the tight circle of senior Potemkin Party officials will need proper therapy: History 101. Link below is the Introductory Chapter I.
The whole syllabus will of course consist of: the denial of Eritrea's right to decolonization in the 1940s; annexation and the armed struggle; all the way back to medieval and ancient history with objective archeological findings and interpretations.
*Warning: the disease may be incurable if it is a pure case of deliberate deception and/or reflexive/pathological lying.

A Reminder to Ethiopia which is on the Brink of Anarchy.
As the Eritrean War of Independence concluded in 1991, Eritrean forces captured 114,000 out of 130,000 Ethiopian soldiers deployed in Eritrea. All were granted amnesty and repatriated to Ethiopia.
Captured Military Assets in 1991 included 200 tanks, many 130 mm artillery, 122 mm artillery, BM-21 rocket launchers, BM-24 rocket launchers, ZU-23 anti-aircraft guns, thousands of mortars, and vast quantities of ammunition.
-Staged Release of Ethiopian POWs by EPLF
In Jan 1990, 2,500, in 1985, 8,000, in Dec 1989, 10,000, in early 1991, 30,000, and post-Independence (Eritrean Gov’t) 86,000 (including 900 officers that Included high-ranking generals and Soviet military advisors.
Ethiopian Casualties in Eritrea (Only 1974–1991)
-195,620 killed
-180,287 wounded
The economic costs of the war for Ethiopia was also staggering. For example, the Red Star Campaign (Dec 27, 1981 – Jul 1, 1982), total expenditure was: 1,291,745,233 birr (~US $516,698,093) 871,435,465 birr on Soviet-supplied armaments (MiG-23s, Mi-17/Mi-24 helicopters, T-55 tanks, BM-21 rockets, etc.) 420,309,768 birr on logistics. 516,698 is equivalent to 1,733,000,000 today.
Red Star Campaign casualties were 37,176 of which 1,074 officers, 22,247 other ranks and 9,858 militia.
At the end of the war, a few Derg officials and many Derg soldiers escaped through "Baale" or "Bole" (በባሌ ወይም በቦሌ).
President Isaias Afwerki and President Abdel Fatah el-Sisi held extensive talks in the early afternoon hours, in Cairo today, on further consolidation of the bilateral ties between the two countries as well as on regional issues of mutual interest.
The two Heads of State underlined the historical ties between Eritrea and Egypt; assessed status and progress of multi-layered previous agreements; and, discussed ways and means of further bolstering bilateral cooperation and partnership in various sectors.
President Isaias and President el-Sisi also discussed in greater detail regional developments and trends; and in particular the situations in the Sudan, Somalia and the security of the Red Sea. The two leaders agreed to work vigorously and coordinate their efforts to promote their shared conviction on the inviolability of the territorial integrity as well as stability and peace of the countries in the region.
President Isaias re-iterated Eritrea's firm solidarity with the people of Sudan in these trying times and its unwavering stance on Sudan's territorial integrity. President Isaias further underlined that external intervention can only exacerbate the conflict without yielding positive dividends.
President el-Sisi, for his part, re-affirmed Egypt's readiness to play its role in the promotion of peace and stability in Sudan, Somalia and the Red Sea. In this regard, President el-Sisi underlined the imperative for all the littoral States to marshal their resources and coordinate their efforts to ensure the peace and security of the Red Sea and benefit from its resources.
President Isaias Afwerki and his delegation were accorded warm welcome on their arrival at Cairo's International Airport earlier in the afternoon.
Eritrea Is Not a Small Country
A Geographical Reality Check
Total Area: 117,600 km² (mainland + Red Sea islands)
Global Rank: 44th largest country out of 195
Eritrea is geographically larger than 151 countries, including many that dominate global headlines. This fact is often overlooked but it matters. Size influences strategic depth, resource potential, and geopolitical relevance.

Key Message
Eritrea is not small. It is strategically located, geographically substantial, and larger than most countries in the world. Let’s challenge the rhetoric that minimizes Eritrea’s presence.
Stop the erasure.
Amplify the truth.
Eritrea is 44th in size out of 195.

The Battle of Massawa stands as a defining moment in Eritrea’s struggle for freedom. The Derg regime, armed like an elephant with vast resources and heavy machinery, sought to crush the spirit of a people they dismissed as mere ants. But history proved otherwise. With courage, sacrifice, and unshakable determination, Eritrea prevailed, paying a heavy price in blood for dignity and independence. The ant defeated the elephant, and Massawa became a symbol of resilience and victory.
