Why Does the West Demonize Eritrea?

The greatest challenge Eritrea presents is not military. It is ideological.

For decades, the world has been told that no African nation can chart an independent path without surrendering its economy, politics, and sovereignty to external interests. Eritrea chose a different road—one built on self-reliance, national ownership, and the belief that development must serve its people before foreign approval.

That choice has come at a cost.

Eritrea is often portrayed as one of the world's worst countries, yet many international development indicators have shown progress over the years in areas such as health, education, child survival, and access to basic services. The country itself openly acknowledges that major challenges remain—from water scarcity and climate pressures to expanding healthcare and economic opportunities. No serious observer claims Eritrea is perfect.

The real question is this:

Why are countries with deep corruption, endless conflict, staggering inequality, and vast natural wealth so often treated as "partners," while Eritrea—despite its limited resources and insistence on policy independence—is relentlessly singled out?

Perhaps the issue is not that Eritrea failed the established model.

Perhaps the issue is that it refused to follow it.

A nation that insists on making its own decisions challenges the assumption that dependency is the only path to development. Whether one agrees with every policy or not, Eritrea's determination to defend its sovereignty has become a debate far larger than one country.

History has a habit of questioning those who refuse to conform before it understands them.

[Yemane G. Meskel 🇪🇷 @hawelti]

Potemkin Party's signature trademark has been aptly described by the formula: PP Propaganda = Lies + Deception + Delusion + Disinformation + "Dazzling" Optics.

Indeed, the article (Al Jazeera, 11 June 2026) by mercurial Getachew Reda (PP's Advisor for East African Affairs); and Redwan Hussein, (PP's Director General for National Intelligence and Security Services) accentuates, in more graphic terms, this poignant reality.

Let us revert to the facts:

1. The tragic war that ravaged Ethiopia for two years from 4 November 2020 until 2 November 2022 with devastating consequences stemmed from, and has its roots in, Ethiopia's internal and perennial ethnic cleavages. Eritrea was dragged into the imposed conflict at the behest of the Federal Government, and more importantly, due to the broad objectives of the war agenda that explicitly included and targeted Eritrea itself. This is on the public record. As one of the principal architects and fervent advocates of the war, Getachew Redda is intimately aware of all these facts; a matter that is easily validated by his numerous posts under his X handle in those tragic times.
2. At the end of the war, PP political and military leaders from the Prime Minister downwards, profusely expressed their profound gratitude to Eritrea. Again, this is on the public record.
2. Getachew Reda and Redwan Hussein weave a theatrical and fictitious story about the consternation of their South African Hosts in Pretoria as the "negotiating team from the two warring parties would get into a fist fight in the middle of the Conference Hall if not shepherded to steer clear of one another".
3. Problem with this fictitious and romanticized story is the Parties had, in fact, held secret meetings in Djibouti and Seychelles months back under the sponsorship of US and EU "Peace Facilitators". And as it was later divulged by Getachew Redda himself, the two Teams had contemplated prompt reconciliation, reportedly under the prodding of the PP Party, to join forces and wage a war of aggression against Eritrea that they both agreed was, in their contorted views, "the ultimate threat to them". These meetings took place in August 2022; when the war was still raging ferociously. A Confidential EU Report issued in September 2022 further corroborated this "imminent trend".
4. The Pretoria Agreement is essentially a peace-pact between warring sides in Ethiopia. It is, and remains, an Ethiopian affair; purely and exclusively. Eritrea's stance and support to the Pretoria Agreement stems from its principled desire and commitment to promote regional peace and stability. In this sense, Eritrea has neither the political appetite nor the interest to scuttle an agreement between Ethiopian political forces if all the parties indeed implement the provisions of the agreement in good faith.
5. In this perspective, PP's current propaganda and transparent disinformation campaigns, as epitomized by the article in question, are designed to re-package the unprovoked agenda of conflict and hostility that it has unleashed against Eritrea since December 2023 in the quest of what it calls "sovereign access to the sea", in "self-defense" terms.
6. The unfortunate fact is: it is PP's delusional agendas (illicit MOU with Somali-land; logistical and other military support to RSF under the bidding of other external forces; and provocative pronouncement, accompanied by unremitting saber-rattling, for acquiring Assab and other Eritrean coastal lands "through negotiations if possible and force if necessary" ) that are stoking unnecessary and avoidable tensions in the Horn.

President Isaias Afwerki and his host, President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, held extensive talks in Cairo today on bilateral, regional and international issues of mutual importance.

The two leaders agreed to deepen and elevate the historical and brotherly ties of friendship and cooperation that exist between the two countries to a higher level.

In this respect, President Isaias Afwerki and President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi agreed on the launching of concrete programmes in the sectors of marine resources, development of port infrastructure, and maritime transport within the overall economic, political and diplomatic frameworks and agreements reached in the past.

The two leaders also discussed, in greater detail, the economic, political, diplomatic and security dimensions of developments and trends in the Red Sea, the Middle East, the Horn of Africa and other international matters of mutual interest.

Foreign Minister Osman Saleh and his Egyptian counterpart, Dr. Badr Abdelatty, subsequently discussed implementation details of the agendas outlined in the extensive consultations between the two Heads of State.

#Eritrea: With minor variance from the positive forecasts for the rainy season this year, actual precipitation levels to-date have and remain above normal in most parts of the country. Farmers individual initiatives coupled with provision of tractor services at much subsidized prices by the Corporation of Seeds and Livestock are yielding encouraging results in Gash Barka and other regions in the country.

[Sudan Tribune @SudanTribune_EN]

Sudan’s government and military have formally accused the UAE and Ethiopia of orchestrating a series of drone strikes on Khartoum’s international airport and military bases.

Critical updates:

*- Officials claim to have "conclusive evidence" including flight data from drones launched via Ethiopia's Bahir Dar airport.
*- Sudan has recalled its ambassador to Ethiopia for consultations.
*- The military asserts its right to respond at a time and place of its choosing.

The Eritrean Diaspora; by Alula Frezghi

Eritrea's signature attributes of seamless national cohesion and harmony - within a multiethnic and multireligious social setting - and robust bondage with the Diaspora have indeed been pivotal in its three-decades struggle to assert is inviolable rights of decolonization as well as in the tasks of of nation-building in the aftermath of its hard-won independence.
