#Eritrea Red Sea East Africa.
From historical archives: Britain considered Eritrea as a war booty in the Second World War and literally plundered its entire economy; essentially for nefarious political ends. And UK Governments have not, to-date, acknowledged nor made amends for the abominable transgression.
Netanyahu’s so-called “recognition” of Somaliland is a shameful and irresponsible move by the Prime Minister of Israel. Playing such dangerous geopolitical games undermines international law, threatens regional stability, and disrespects the sovereignty and unity of Somalia. Somalia’s unity is non-negotiable and will never be compromised. Actions like this carry serious consequences and will only deepen tensions in an already fragile region. #BackOff
#Somalia is probably the only country in Africa with one language, One tribe, One identity, One religion, One culture.
The unification of the Somali nation and Somali people is the only way for peace in the country and the wider region not fragmentation of the state.
Eritrea: The Peaceful Gate of the Horn of Africa
From the moment of independence, Eritrea rejected the idea of exploiting its position for political leverage. Instead, it pursued a policy of open access through cooperation, particularly toward its neighbors. This approach reflected a deeper principle: access must be based on mutual respect and sovereignty, not pressure or domination. In a region where control of corridors often fuels conflict, Eritrea’s restraint has been both rare and instructive.

Excellent Read - #Eritrea: Peaceful Gate of the Horn of Africa
*"...Peace in Eritrea is not accidental. It is a strategic choice shaped by the country’s long liberation struggle and the heavy cost of war. While instability has consumed much of the Horn of Africa, Eritrea has maintained internal cohesion and stability, rejecting proxy conflicts and foreign-driven agendas. This stability has created something increasingly valuable in today’s world: predictability".
*"...Eritrea does not seek to impose itself as a gatekeeper. Geography has already placed it at the entrance of the Horn of Africa. What Eritrea offers instead is responsible access anchored in peace, reinforced by self-reliance, and safeguarded by principled diplomacy".
*"...In an era when instability carries global consequences, Eritrea’s long-standing approach is no longer unconventional. It is necessary. And it is precisely this combination of peace, independence, and diplomacy that makes Eritrea the natural and credible gate of the Horn of Africa".

Education in Eritrea: Context and Clarity
by Shabait Staff
"... Education was designated, in the post-independence period - a central pillar of Eritrea’s development strategy and made free of charge from the primary through the tertiary level. Efforts since independence have focused on rebuilding and expanding an educational system inherited in a severely depleted state. Hundreds of schools, learning centres, and libraries have been constructed or rehabilitated across both urban and rural areas. The number of schools has increased from just over 500 in 1991 to more than 2,300 today, while enrolment has risen from approximately 340,000 in the late 1990s to nearly 700,000 at present. Technical and vocational education has likewise expanded as part of a broader effort to diversify educational pathways and respond to labour-market needs".
"...Today, six colleges provide tertiary education across distinct academic and professional fields, including medicine and health sciences, education, engineering, business and economics, agriculture, and marine sciences. While these institutions initially focused on diploma and undergraduate (BA/BSc) programs to address urgent national skills gaps, they have progressively expanded their academic scope. Several colleges now offer advanced postgraduate coursework, higher professional certifications, and master’s-level programs in selected disciplines, reflecting both growing institutional capacity and evolving national needs".

Profile Q & A: “Wherever You Go, Go With Your Heart” An Interview with Dr. Tony Locker and Isabella Maria Locker; by Sabrina Solomon
*"...In July 1977, just after the first liberation of Keren, I took my first trip to Mieda (the field). I met General Sibhat Ephrem and others, and we celebrated Keren’s victory together. We visited Weki Zager, Keren, Afabet, and several other areas. It was an unforgettable experience".
*"...Later, in 1987, I returned for the EPLF’s Second Congress, where I met the veteran Eritrean nationalist, Mr. Weldeab Weldemariam. And in 1988, I got married in the field. They prepared cakes, flowers, traditional dances—so much joy—despite the bombs and war that continued the next morning".
*"...As a doctor, I was especially drawn to the medical efforts. I met Dr. Michael and Dr. Nerayo. Dr. Nerayo would operate all night long, pushing through exhaustion. Even amid hardship, we shared jokes and laughter".
*"...And of course, May 24th. I heard the news of the liberation of Asmara on the radio. I jumped around my house waving an EPLF flag. The joy was indescribable".
