Profile Q & A: “#Eritreans are not only patriotic, but they are also Authentic” Ambassador Perseverance Mbuzeli
The multi-layered ties of cooperation and partnership between Eritrea and South Africa have grown with time; anchored as they are on closely aligned perspectives on vital issues of global governance as well as incremental programmes of cooperation on capacity building and investments in sectors of each-other's comparative advantages.
In the words of Ambassador Percy:
"...We believe in equal partnerships; we believe in smart partnerships. We do not believe in a culture of handouts.. We collaborate across various agricultural sectors.. we also collaborate on maritime-related matters, specifically in the blue economy...Furthermore, we have been promoting people-to-people relations through cultural exchanges... As I said earlier, the prospects for progress, development and smart partnership between these countries and their peoples are ever-bright".

Briefing by FM Osman Saleh on UNHRC Process to Foreign Diplomatic Community in #Eritrea
For the past 14 years, certain countries have cynically weaponized the UNHRC Annual Session in Geneva as a platform for politicized harassment against Eritrea. This charade has gone beyond limits and Eritrea is earnestly and firmly requesting its termination.
Excerpts from FM Osman Saleh's speech:
*"...While we welcome the opportunity to engage with international partners on issues of mutual interest, Eritrea remains committed to interactions anchored on the tenets of sovereign equality, mutual respect, non-interference, and genuine cooperation. For fourteen years, Eritrea has maintained a consistent, principled stance across the Human Rights Council, the General Assembly, and bilateral channels. Our position is settled. Continuing engagement bilaterally on the Special Rapporteur yields no constructive utility, and we will no longer expend diplomatic capital or finite institutional time debating a mechanism whose continuation has evidently become an end in itself".
*"...The mandate has evolved into a textbook case of institutional inertia and a recurring political ritual. This ongoing campaign has inflicted severe reputational damage by broadcasting a distorted, one-sided narrative through (some) official United Nations channels, manufacturing a false global perception that overshadows our domestic realities. It has acted as a clearinghouse for state-sponsored defamation, inciting external hostility and systematically polarizing international forums. Furthermore, by painting Eritrea as a volatile, high-risk state, it has artificially stifled the country’s tourism investment climate, deterring foreign direct investment and impeding economic development".
*"...Equally concerning is the profound financial burden this mandate imposes. For fourteen consecutive years, the Human Rights Council and the OHCHR have funneled substantial financial and institutional resources into a failed mandate. The millions of dollars in cumulative Programme Budget Implications represent a significant expenditure of scarce UN resources at a time of acute liquidity constraints".
*"....The pen-holders face a definitive choice: they must choose between encouraging the financing of endless, sterile political confrontation or supporting tangible, state-led capacity building that directly enhances the lives of our people".
*"...Let me dispel a persistent misconception: Eritrea does not reject engagement with the international human rights system. We remain fully committed to fulfilling our obligations through the Universal Periodic Review (UPR), treaty body mechanisms, and consensual technical cooperation, universal, cooperative instruments predicated on equal participation and consent. What we reject is the politicization and selective targeting of that system".

Profile Q & A - “My Dream is Making Eritrea Africa’s Pharmaceutical Hub:” Pharmacist Nuru Abdu; by Kidane Shimendi
The innovative mindset and dedication to the nation of these trail-blazing youth is indeed peerless
*"...To date, I have published 17 research articles in top-ranked international peer-reviewed journals, including those published by PLOS, Springer, BMJ, and Dove Medical Press. Additionally, I serve as a reviewer for more than 20 international peer-reviewed journals and as an academic editor for prestigious journals such as PLOS ONE and Therapeutic Advances in Drug Safety".
*"...During the conference, I received two inaugural honors initiated by ERIPA to recognize scientific excellence. The first was the Best Young Researcher Award, which highlights research productivity and future potential among early-career scientists aged 30 or younger. The second was the Best Conference Presenter Award, which evaluated the scientific quality and clinical rigor of the paper, alongside presentation delivery, audience engagement, and clarity of responses during the Q&A session. This presentation award was specifically for my study titled, 'Safety, Pattern, and Determinants of Prescribed Medicines Among Pregnant Women Attending Healthcare Facilities in Eritrea'. Together, these honors serve as welcome validation and strong motivation to continue contributing to local pharmaceutical research.

Profile Q & A - Vision for Berhan Ayny: Dr. Mengis Bairu on Eritrea’s Path to Medical Self-Reliance; by Sabrina Solomon
*"...Long before we ever open a textbook, we as Eritreans learn from the actions of our elders. I watched how deeply my parents cared for their neighbors and our community. That upbringing instilled in me a lifelong desire to serve my fellow citizens rather than focus narrowly on personal gain".
*"...This concept of self-reliance is deeply woven into the historical fabric of Eritrea; sustainability is nothing new for us. I was fortunate to visit most of the liberated areas back in 1986, with a particular focus on the Sahil Orotta hospital. Seeing those fully functional underground hospitals was incredible. Even the origins of the Azel Pharmaceutical Company were in Sahil, manufacturing the majority of their own medications and IV infusions under the most challenging conditions. That principle of self-reliance was forged during the liberation struggle and naturally transitioned into today’s ministries and government frameworks".
*"...Our job through the Cure Blindness Project is to ensure these doctors receive world-class training and have access to premium medical products, allowing us to advance at the exact same speed as global technology".
*"...We are on a definitive, highly coordinated path to establish the Berhan Ayny Ophthalmic Hospital as a premier regional Center of Excellence; fully equipped with state-of-the-art modern technology and fully staffed by top-tier, homegrown specialists".

President Isaias Afwerki and his delegation returned home in late morning hours today after a fruitful official visit to Egypt. Eritrea and Egypt have agreed to enhance their economic cooperation on several sectors as well as coordinate, through periodic consultations, their respective positions on vital regional and international issues of mutual interest.
Eritrea and Egypt have agreed, in talks held this afternoon between Foreign Minister Osman Saleh and his Egyptian counterpart, Dr. Badr Abdellaty, to strengthen their all-rounded bilateral ties of cooperation and to coordinate their respective positions on issues of common interest.
In a Joint Press Conference held after the talks, the two Foreign Ministers:
- Invoked the historical and brotherly ties that exist between Eritrea and Egypt and the extensive talks held between President Isaias Afwerki and President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in Cairo on 8 June this week.
- Affirmed that the two sides have reached a cooperation agreement on the sectors of mining, infrastructure, housing, the pharmaceutical industry, maritime transport, ports connectivity as well as ports development especially in Assab, Massawa and Marsa Fatima; and, land, air and maritime connectivity between the two countries.
- Egypt reiterated its full support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Eritrea.
- In regard to the security of the Red Sea and the region as a whole, they reiterated the need and urgency of bolstering the capabilities of national institutions as the bedrock of stability and development. This was in line with the pronounced and aligned positions of the two Heads of State on the imperative of respecting the foundational principles of international law on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all States.
The two Foreign Ministers further affirmed the continuation of periodic consultative meetings in Cairo and Asmara between relevant government bodies of the two sides as well as coordination in their positions on regional and international matters.
‘Eritrea has repeatedly rejected these accusations as phantom bases and has consistently denied granting military facilities to either Israel or Iran. Its position has remained unchanged: Eritrea does not mortgage its land, islands, ports, or mountains to foreign powers, nor does it turn its territory into a battlefield for rival states. In the words of President Isaias Afwerki, Eritrea is not for sale—not to Israel, not to Iran, not to America, and not to any power that imagines Eritrean sovereignty can be rented, bought, or bargained away.’@Ghidewon@RedSeaBeacon
