Abiy Ahmed, backed by Israel and the UAE, is destabilizing the Horn of Africa.Yet countries facing direct threats to their sovereignty respond only with words. How long will they prioritize their own interests over regional peace?

[Alg @GirmaTelk]

As Eritreans say: “She hit me first, then accused me!”
The Ethiopia Foreign Ministry shamelessly accuses Eritrea while ignoring three years of its own threats to invade and violate Eritrean sovereignty. Let the world hear their own words.Listen to what they were saying for 3 year

#Eritrea - Beyond the Politicized Narrative; by Bana Negusse

"More broadly, Eritrea’s engagement with the Social Forum reflects the country’s longstanding commitment to international cooperation and partnership. Setting aside deeply rooted misassumptions and problematic narratives, the truth is that over the years, the country has maintained relations and collaborated with a wide range of states, international organizations, UN agencies, and other institutions, guided by the principles of mutual respect, sovereign equality, mutual understanding, and shared interests. These partnerships, irrespective of differences in political systems or development approaches, underscore Eritrea’s conviction that meaningful international cooperation must be grounded in respect for national sovereignty, non-interference, and the pursuit of common objectives. This longstanding approach aligns closely with the principles underpinning the Social Forum and reflects Eritrea’s continued commitment to constructive multilateral engagement".

Video Footage Raises Serious Questions About Abiy’s War in the Horn of Africa

This video clip, recorded by curious residents in Tigray, has inadvertently raised serious questions about the nature of the war Abiy Ahmed is conducting in the Horn of #Africa, including he is acting in the interests of the UAE and possibly Israel.

What evidence can we identify from the video?

1) The soldiers can be heard asking for eight AAA batteries, suggesting that they are looking for a specific item of equipment or supplies.

2) They are speaking English and are unfamiliar with the surrounding area, raising questions about their identity and their presence in Tigray.

3) They are wearing CAT (Caterpillar) footwear. The person recording the video comments on their shoes, referring to them as CAT shoes and comparing them to Timberland footwear.

4) The person recording the video can be heard identifying the soldiers as Israelis.

5) From their appearance, the soldiers are non-Ethiopian soldiers and more look more Middle Eastern or European.

Abiy is clearly using mercenary soldiers to kill #Ethiopians and wage war of expansionism at the bidding of UAE.

Abiy Has 99 Security Problems, but Access to the Sea Ain’t One!

The Tana Forum @TanaForum was the brainchild of Meles Zenawi, established to discuss the security concerns of #African states. From its inaugural meeting onwards, the Forum identified several central challenges to African security, including:

1) State Fragility in #Africa
2) Managing Diversity
3) Nation-Building

Meles used the #TanaForum to highlight the importance of managing Africa’s ethnic, religious, cultural, linguistic and social diversity as a central issue affecting peace and security. He argued that diversity itself was not the problem; rather, problems arose from poor management, neglect, and a lack of equity, fairness and justice.

The Forum also called for discussions on why #African states were weak, what made them fragile, and what was needed to make them stronger. It also raised a fundamental question: How strong are states that are described as strong?

Fast-forward to 2026, and Abiy’s lightweight politics are on full display at the very same forum. He has used the platform to promote his stillborn idea that being landlocked constitutes an existential threat to #Ethiopia’s sovereignty, and that the solution is to negotiate away the sovereignty of other African states.

This is an anathema to the principles of African security. In fact, it is a textbook example of what not to do if the goal is a peaceful and secure Africa.

The irony is that the Tana Forum was not held in 2023 or 2024 amid security concerns in the #Amhara region, where the Forum is held annually.

Abiy Ahmed has 99 security problems at home, ranging from civil wars and ethnic-based politics to religious violence, a struggling economy, the rising cost of living, poverty, crime and a lack of leadership. Yet access to the sea isn’t one of them.

No wonder the presidents of #Djibouti, #Kenya, #Somalia, #Uganda, #Rwanda and others stayed away from this farce. He managed to hoodwink the Presidents of Ghana, Mozambique and Brundi this year.

🛑 The Truth Laid Bare: Farah Maalim Exposes Addis Ababa’s Implosion & Regional Proxies 🇰🇪 🇪🇷 🇸🇴 🇸🇩

When an experienced regional statesman speaks without diplomatic double-talk, manufactured narratives crumble. Seasoned Kenyan politician and former National Assembly Deputy Speaker Farah Maalim has laid bare what observers across the Horn of Africa have documented for years: Ethiopia is suffering structural internal collapse, while the regime in Addis Ababa acts as a proxy for external interests [00:15, 00:41].

From Amhara to Tigray, and from Gambella to Moyale, central authority has broken down .

🔍 Key Geopolitical Realities

🔴 The "Mercenary" Proxy Agenda: Maalim outlines how Abiy Ahmed caters to external sponsors—acting as an instrument for Gulf- and Western-backed designs [00:10]. Addis Ababa has operated as a logistics corridor facilitating supplies to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) devastating Sudan, while generating friction in Somalia and South Sudan. 🇸🇩🇦🇪

🟡 The Disintegration of the Federal Center: The reach of the federal government has eroded across the country [03:08]. Beyond Addis Ababa and core enclaves, authority has receded across Amhara (Fano resistance), Tigray, Afar, and Benishangul-Gumuz [01:00, 01:05, 07:03]. As Maalim warns: Ethiopia risks fragmenting into multiple regional entities. [04:36] 📉

🟣 Manufactured External Diversions: Whenever internal control deteriorates, external flashpoints are manufactured [01:23, 09:24]. Aggressive maneuvers over "sea access" in Somaliland, border pressure on Somalia, and expansionist pushes around Moyale and Hudet serve to distract from collapsing governance at home [05:39, 09:24]. 🇸🇴🛑

🟢 The Eritrean Red Line: Contemplating a military adventure against Eritrea is a fatal miscalculation [06:13]. Eritrea stands as a disciplined, consolidated state built on decades of collective defense and hard-won resilience [06:22, 06:41]. As Maalim emphasizes: Direct confrontation against Eritrea would dismantle what remains of Ethiopia’s military organization. [06:16, 06:49] 🇪🇷🛡️

🔵 Strangled Supply Corridors: With vital northern roads contested and Red Sea littoral states enforcing sovereign deterrence, Addis Ababa's strategic transit options are tightening [08:24, 09:29]. ⚓

💡 The Strategic Conclusion

"A leader who acts as an external proxy while igniting conflicts across his own provinces cannot avoid the implosion of the center." [00:41, 01:58]

The Horn of Africa is rejecting manufactured pretexts [01:23, 04:08]. Genuine regional security relies on non-interference, sovereign borders, and recognizing that internal failure cannot be cured by encroaching on neighboring coastlines [04:30, 09:00]. 🕊️⚡

[G. Drar @gdrarr]

🔍 Deconstructing the Deflection Playbook
🔴 Domestic Collapse, External Scapegoating: With federal control receding across northern and central Ethiopia, Addis Ababa relies on absurd accusations against Eritrea to rally fractured domestic support. 📉

🟡 The "Sea Access" Farce: Sovereignty is non-negotiable. Converting commercial logistics into an entitlement to sovereign coastlines is an explicit breach of international law. ⚓🛑

🟣 Strategic Resilience: Three decades of steadfast national defense cannot be rattled by erratic threats from a leadership struggling to secure its own administrative boundaries. 🛡️

🟢 Diplomatic Isolation for Addis Ababa: While Asmara consolidates sovereign partnerships across the Red Sea, Cairo, Khartoum, and Washington, the PP regime has isolated itself from every key neighbor. 🤝

"A state burning from within cannot put out its flames by setting fire to its neighbor’s borders."

The collective message from Eritreans is clear: Enough. Respect sovereign boundaries, abandon regional adventurism, and face the domestic realities of your own making. 🕊️⚡

Eritrea’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has formally urged the African Union to restore its representation at AU headquarters in Addis Ababa (and sent a similar letter to the UN Economic Commission for Africa/UNECA), following Ethiopia’s expulsion of its diplomats.

Let us not mince our words and call a Spade a Spade!

1. The Potemkin Party has been obsessed/immersed in unparalleled military expenditure spree in the last three years.
2. In the last three quarters of 2026 alone, the regime has received 365 UAE Cargo/military deliveries for use in its multiple domestic conflicts and concomitant acts/designs of regional destablization.
3. At the same time, the regime has received - and these are conservative estimates - over 30 billion US Dollars in cumulative external financial assistance in the last eight years from several multilateral and bilateral donors.
4. And yet, almost 21.4 million people all over the country remain in dire conditions whose survival depends on humanitarian assistance.

In a nutshell, the priorities of this callous regime are crystal clear; reckless wars of delusional "grandeur" in lieu of the welfare of the majority of its people and enduring regional peace and stability.

[Berhane @EmbassyEritrea]

ETHIOPIA SEEKS A PRETEXT FOR A WAR IT HAD DECLARED LONG AGO

Over the past three years, Ethiopia’s PM has repeatedly vowed to secure “#sovereign #access” to the #Red #Sea through negotiations if possible and by force if necessary. He questioned Eritrea’s very independence and sovereignty. In doing so, he used state institutions, including , but not limited to, Parliament, state media, and official meetings; not to mention his paid digital media mercenaries. His generals have repeatedly boasted that their war would erase the boundary, leaving neither a sovereign #Eritrea nor its government.

These are not isolated remarks. They reveal a dangerous pattern of threats against a sovereign state, undermining the #UN #Charter, #international #law, and treaties that govern #territorial #integrity.

Abiy’s regime evidently keeps shifting its false accusations: one moment alleging that Eritrea crossed the border, the next claiming that Eritrea arms and supports the Alliance Forces for Survival (AFS). Yet these allegations failed to provide a shred of evidence and remain unconfirmed by independently verified bodies. Such wild accusations cannot substitute for proof and should never be allowed to serve as a pretext for a dangerous and premeditated plan of aggression.

To cover up its wild plans, this PP government is struggling to manufacture “evidence” for a #war its leaders have already threatened publicly. The world must not mistake the pretext for the aggressor’s false accusations for evidence and call this aggressor by its name.

Abiy Ahmed and his government have consistently engaged in misinformation campaigns and provocative rhetoric directed at Eritrea. The Ethiopian regime has taken an aggressive stance, openly calling for military conflict and the invasion of Eritrea. This duality is evident in the government's communications: statements in Amharic are intentionally provocative and inflammatory, while those in English adopt a more diplomatic tone for an international audience. This strategic use of language escalates tensions in one context while trying to maintain a diplomatic façade in another. To shed light on this ongoing narrative, we will translate and share a series of these provocative statements on EmbassyMedia, highlighting the discrepancies and the underlying intentions behind the different versions of communication. #EmbassyMedia

[Yemane G. Meskel 🇪🇷 @hawelti]

Foreign Minister Osman Saleh gave, today, a briefing on Ethiopia's unprovoked acts of aggression and its geopolitical ambitions to the Diplomatic Community in Asmara.

In his extensive briefing, FM Osman elaborated, with substantive details and evidences:
- the Ethiopian regime's repetitive and provocative pronouncements - by senior Prosperity Party political and military officials - for three long years on their belligerent strategy for acquiring "sovereign access to the sea";
- these ambitions and accompanied saber-rattling constituted a declaration of war against Eritrea in flagrant breach of the UN Charter and relevant provisions that prohibit the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity and political independence of any UN Member State;
- the Prosperity Party regime continued to provide sanctuary, as well as military and logistical support, to an assortment of inconsequential opposition groups;
- the regime was further engaged in proxy military activities that fuel regional conflicts and exacerbate instability in the Horn of Africa.

EmbassyMedia hosted an engaging program that centred on the Eritrean National Football Team. The discussion delved into the team's recent matches against Kenya and South Africa, analysing the outcomes and key moments from each game, and exploring the players' potential by highlighting emerging talents and established stars shaping the future of Eritrean football. In addition to the match analysis, the program highlighted the strategic plans and development programs the Eritrean National Football Federation (ENFF) has initiated for various age categories. These initiatives aim to nurture young talent and strengthen football's foundation in Eritrea, ensuring a bright future for the sport. #DiscoverEritrea #Embassymedia

[Sirak Bahlbi @SirakBahlbi]

The #Ethiopian government of Abiy Ahmed must hold its own people in the utmost contempt. The national military is deployed across the country, waging war on multiple fronts, while drone attacks continue almost daily. People are dying, communities are being displaced, and widespread looting is taking place. Yet not a single briefing or statement from the military chiefs or the government to inform the public about what is happening. Not a word. Not a peep. What utter contempt for the people they are supposed to serve!

And now, they are contemplating waging war against #Eritrea! Yet there has not even been a televised address to the nation. It is as if war and destruction have become part of Ethiopia’s normal daily agenda. How much longer can the people be expected to accept this? How much more suffering must they endure before they finally say NO! @BBCAfrica @NewYorker @nypost @ReutersAfrica @Reuters @trtafrika @kenyaaxis @SudanTribune_EN @AJEnglish
