Good Read: #Eritrean Beauty Engraved in Names
by Kidane Shimendi
"With its enchanting landscapes, warm hospitality, profound peace, sweeping coastal vistas dotted with remarkable islands, rich historical tapestry, and diverse cultural heritage, Eritrea presents a mosaic of splendor. These elements are genuinely interwoven to shape Eritrea’s unique identity. Nowhere is this beauty more quietly yet powerfully recorded than in the names carried by its places".

We extend our sincere congratulations to the newly elected President of the upcoming UN General Assembly 81st Session #UNGA81, H.E. Dr. Khalilur Rahman Foreign Minister of Bangladesh.
It is an honor that #Eritrea has been elected to serve as one of the Vice Presidents of the #UN General Assembly's 81st Session.
We look forward to working together with all UN Member States in the spirit of cooperation and shared purpose.

Defamatory narrative on Eritrea, peddled for many decades now, was never a simple case of sloppy journalism or paucity of authentic/verifiable information.
In its recent manifestations, the demonization campaign stems from and is driven by the consortium, the unholy alliance so to speak, of forces bent on reversing and rolling back Eritrea's hard-won and inviolable independence.
In this perspective, https://t.co/512O7pb8z2's timely initiative to expose the toxic campaign on the basis of fact-based, well-researched, and nuanced analyses is laudable indeed. It will also substantially enrich and complement previous and foundational documents (Responses to UNHCR Eligibility Guidelines etc.) that are already in the public domain.

Excellent Read - #Eritrea@35: “…Greater Than I Was”; by Kesete Ghebrehiwet
*"...On Saturday, 23 May 2026, the eve of Eritrea’s 35th Independence Day, I walked with my family toward the center of the festivities as the nation celebrated. The streets pulsed with movement, color, music, and emotion. People from all walks of life – children, youth, parents, elders, and nationals from abroad – had gathered to share in a historic occasion. It was not merely a celebration; it was a day of memory, pride, renewal, and reflection".
*"...The Eritrean flag waved everywhere – on banners, decorations, clothing, and painted faces. Mothers and young girls wore colorful outfits decorated with the national colors. Young boys and girls walked confidently in T-shirts bearing images of lions, freedom fighters, and maps of Eritrea, as well as slogans of dignity, resilience, and pride. Every color, design, and smile seemed to carry a message".
*"...Among these sights, one phrase on the backs of teenage boys’ and girls’ T-shirts caught my attention: 'I am Greater than I Was". At first glance, it seemed simple, but the more I looked, the more powerful it became. It was not an ordinary slogan. It was a statement of growth, confidence, and hope – speaking not only for the students but for Eritrea itself".
*"...As I continued walking with my family among the crowds, the phrase stayed with me. 'I am Greater than I Was'. It spoke of youth growing into responsibility, a nation advancing through resilience, yesterday’s sacrifices, today’s joy, and tomorrow’s promise. On that festive day, amid flags, lights, smiles, and songs, one truth became clear: Eritrea’s greatness lives in the hearts of its people – especially the young generation preparing to inherit and build the future. They are greater than they were, and through them, Eritrea will continue to grow even greater".

Eritrea @35: Progress, Resilience, and Pride
by Bana Negusse
*"...Over the past month, Eritreans at home and across the diaspora have been enthusiastically celebrating the 35th anniversary of the country’s independence. And so they should. Freedom was not handed to Eritrea on a silver platter. Rather, it was won through immense sacrifice during one of Africa’s longest and bloodiest liberation struggles".
*"...Notably, many of Eritrea’s development indicators and broader social trends compare favorably – sometimes considerably so – with those of numerous countries across Africa and the wider developing world. Moreover, these achievements, impressive as they are in their own right, become even more significant when viewed against the backdrop of the immense challenges that Eritrea has faced, including external aggression, sanctions, regional instability, economic constraints, and climate-related pressures".
*"...The strong sense of social cohesion, peace, and harmony that prevails across Eritrea is also something that distinguishes the country positively. For many years, much of Africa, the developing world, and indeed many other parts of the globe have been affected by internecine conflict, sectarian violence, and recurring instability. Sadly, in many areas, safety and security are luxuries. In this regard, Eritrea stands in notable contrast".
*"...Beyond the above, there are many other qualities and values that Eritreans can take pride in. These include a deep respect for nature and the environment, as well as a strong culture of humility, modesty, and simplicity that continues to characterize much of Eritrean society. In many communities, ostentatious displays of wealth and status are discouraged, while values such as dignity, mutual respect, hospitality, and collective responsibility remain highly regarded. Together, these qualities form an important part of Eritrea’s social fabric and national character".
*"...The resilience of the people, the spirit of self-reliance, the strong sense of social cohesion, the commitment to equality and national ownership, and the developmental gains achieved under difficult circumstances together provide a solid platform for future progress. As Eritrea marks 35 years of independence, there is ample reason not only for reflection, but also for confidence, pride, and hope in the country and its people".

@TiborPNagyJr A loserbis start barking.
It was an honor for me and my country #Eritrea エリトリア and thank you again for the nomination and award
#EidMubarak - Eid Al Adha celebrations held at Bahti Meskerem this morning in the presence of senior Government and PFDJ officials, Members of the Diplomatic Corps and the faithful.
Prayers and blessings presided by Eritrea's Mufti, Sheikh Salem Ibrahim Al-Mukhtar.
In the religious sermon that he delivered, Sheikh Salem paid homage to Eritrea's Martyrs and underlined that those who cherish peace are those who know full well, and have suffered, the agonies and devastation inculcated by war. The Mufti also conveyed his congratulations to the Eritrean people and its Defense Forces.
#Eritrea: The Long Road to Independence (part III & Final); by Shabait Staff
*"...A decisive turning point came in March 1988 during the Battle of Afabet, where Eritrean forces inflicted a crushing defeat on Ethiopia’s Northern Command Headquarters. Often compared to battles such as El Alamein and Dien Bien Phu for their strategic significance, the Battle of Afabet became one of the largest and most consequential military engagements fought in Africa since the Second World War".
*"...Then, in February 1990, the EPLF launched Operation Fenkil, a meticulously coordinated land-and-sea offensive that liberated the strategic port city of Massawa. The operation severed one of Ethiopia’s most critical military supply routes and inflicted devastating losses on Ethiopian forces, with thousands killed, wounded, or captured. More importantly, it signaled that Eritrean independence was no longer a distant aspiration, but an approaching reality".
*"...With Massawa secured, only Asmara and Assab remained under Ethiopian control. In May 1991, Eritrean forces defeated Ethiopian troops at Dekemhare before rapidly advancing through surrounding towns and entering Asmara on May 24. Assab, along the Red Sea, fell the following day. Remnants of the demoralized Ethiopian soldiers, which had long been regarded as part of Africa’s largest and best-equipped military force, surrendered in tens of thousands. Just days earlier, on May 21, Mengistu Haile Mariam had fled into exile in Zimbabwe".
*"...Eritrea’s path to nationhood remains one of the most determined and resilient liberation struggles of the twentieth century. Against immense military odds, constantly shifting geopolitical alliances, and prolonged international indifference, Eritreans fought, endured, and ultimately prevailed. Their victory represented not simply the defeat of an occupying power, but the realization of a collective aspiration for sovereignty and dignity that generations had struggled to achieve".
*"...Today, more than three decades after independence, the legacy of the liberation struggle continues to shape Eritrea’s national identity and historical consciousness. It remains a powerful reminder of the sacrifices demanded by freedom; the consequences of the flagrant breaches of international law; and the enduring determination of a people unwilling to surrender their national rights. As Eritreans commemorate the 35th anniversary of independence, the history of that long struggle continues to stand as both a source of national pride and a defining chapter in the broader history of liberation movements".

TAKE A DEEP BREATH ON THE HISTORY OF ERITRE’S QUEST FOR FREEDOM: 77 years back: (1949) workers strike by Eritrea Railways from Massawa to Bisha - was a union which continued and gave birth to the organized armed struggle for the independence of the country. エリトリア #Eritrea
