Blen Fitwi really did something special on that stage.
From Eritrea to Norway, carrying her roots with confidence… then singing “ሃገረይ” by Yemane Barya like that and even adding her own freestyle? That’s not normal talent.
It felt real. No forcing, no pretending just pure voice, culture, and presence.
Moments like that remind you how far Eritrean art can go when someone owns it fully.
Respect. 🇪🇷✊🏿

President Isaias Afwerki met, this morning at Ad Halo, a delegation led by Mr. Hu Changchun, the Special Envoy of China's Foreign Ministry to the Horn of Africa.
President Isaias underlined the imperative for China to foster ties of constructive engagement with Africa to bolster and strengthen capacity building in these crucial times of global change and that is not encumbered by sheer competitive perspectives. The President further referred to China's potential role in playing a positive role in the resolution of conflicts in the Horn of Africa region that are often fomented and exacerbated by intervention of major external powers.
President Isaias also affirmed that Eritrea will strive to consolidate the 70-year old warm and bilateral all-rounded ties with China.
Mr. Hu Changchun, for his part, conveyed President Xi Jinping's message of goodwill to President Isaias Afwerki and ascertained China's readiness to enhance its strategic partnership with Eritrea. The Special Envoy further elucidated that China will strengthen its partnership with Africa which is hinged on capacity building and self reliance.
On December 2, 1950, UN Resolution 390 (V) established a federation with Ethiopia, making Eritrea an autonomous region under the Ethiopian Crown. This resolution, sponsored by the United States, prioritised Cold War strategic interests over Eritrean self-determination. American Secretary of State John Foster Dulles famously stated: “From the point of justice, the opinions of the Eritrean people must receive consideration. Nevertheless, the strategic interest of the United States in the Red Sea basin and considerations of security and world peace make it necessary that the country be linked with our ally, Ethiopia.” Unlike other Italian colonies that were granted independence after World War II, Eritrea was denied its right to self-rule. Days later, Emperor Haile Selassie declared a national holiday to celebrate the “restoration” of Eritrea. During a luncheon attended by the U.S. Ambassador, the Emperor expressed gratitude for America’s decisive role in the United Nations decision. In exchange, the U.S. gained significant military advantages. On May 22, 1953, Ethiopia allowed the United States to establish military bases in Eritrea, including Kagnew Station in Asmara, which was the world’s largest overseas spy facility at the time. Subsequent agreements included comprehensive military aid and training for Ethiopian forces. The UN-mandated federal arrangement granted Eritrea legislative, judicial, and executive autonomy in its domestic affairs. However, from the beginning, Ethiopia treated this arrangement with disdain. The monarchy began systematically dismantling Eritrean autonomy, setting the stage for annexation. These actions would eventually ignite one of Africa’s longest wars of independence. #DiscoverEritrea2025
Redwan Hussien (@RedwanHussien), now #Ethiopia's National Security Advisor, argued in 2005 that:
1. Only #Eritreans can decide how their ports (Massawa & Assab) are used; any threats won't work.
2. #Ethiopians must look inward, not outward, to solve their problems.
3. Historical blame for the border lies with Emperor Menelik's treaties with Italy, not modern leaders.
4. Ethiopia's economy collapsed while it occupied the ports and has grown rapidly without them.
In recent statements, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has claimed that Ethiopia is “encapsulated” and “geographically imprisoned” due to its lack of direct sea access. Such rhetoric may resonate emotionally with Ethiopians, but it is factually misleading and politically dangerous. https://t.co/Q2Rk2SDgdn
I never thought I would retweet Meles Zenawi, but he is laying down facts on the fundamentals tenets of #AFRICAN Union on state formation which #Ethiopia claims to have founded. Although, Meles did everything in his power to crash #Eritrea, unlike the current leader, he adhered to some principles

I had the pleasure of welcoming Deputy Assistant Secretary (DAS) Vincent Spera, along with Ms. Holly Mackey and Mr. Jonathan from the U.S. Department of State, to the Embassy of #Eritrea in Washington DC, for a constructive and open discussion on regional and bilateral matters.
Our conversation covered key developments in the #HornOfAfrica, with particular attention to the evolving regional dynamics that could endanger the stability of the wider region. Reiterated the need for principled position on sovereignty, territorial integrity, and enduring commitment to regional peace and cooperation.
We also welcomed the recent, encouraging #people-to-people engagements and initiatives along the Eritrean and Ethiopian borders, which symbolize a strong desire for healing, reconciliation, and peaceful coexistence.
A significant focus was also given to Eritrea and US bilateral relations , the role in promoting regional peace and stability, and ways to reset and strengthen ties between our two countries on the basis of mutual respect and understanding.
As I congratulated my colleagues from the DOS on the occasion of July 4th - American Independence Day, I also affirmed that Eritrea remains committed to constructive #engagement with the United States, founded on mutual interest, sovereign respect, and the pursuit of meaningful cooperation.
