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.

🎭 Spin vs. Reality: Washington Confronts Addis Ababa’s Maritime Distraction 🇪🇷 🇺🇸 🇪🇹

For three years, the regime in Addis Ababa has pushed an aggressive campaign for "sea access"—a transparent diplomatic cover for territorial encroachment against sovereign Eritrean ports and coastlines.

When domestic crises peak, the Prosperity Party (PP) apparatus leans into PR distortion. The stark contrast between Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s framing of his call with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the official State Department readout reveals the persistent gap between rhetoric and policy reality.

🔍 Anatomy of a Diplomatic Deflection

🔴 The Domestic PR Spin: Abiy took to X presenting the high-level engagement as a broad, cordial discussion of "bilateral cooperation" and "US support," attempting to signal uncritical international backing while facing mounting internal resistance. 📱❌

🟡 The Direct US Readout: Secretary Rubio’s official statement cut through the narrative: Washington explicitly addressed heightened tensions with Eritrea, mandated strict adherence to the 2018 peace framework, and delivered a direct warning that all states must respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of neighbors and avoid cross-border incursions. 🛑📜

🟣 "Sea Access" as an Escalation Vector: The obsession with capturing sovereign ports like Assab is an existential distraction from the armed resistance across Amhara, Tigray, and Oromia. The attempt to manufacture an external war to rescue internal authority has stalled. ⚓⚠️

🟢 Washington Draws the Red Line: Coming off the heels of the US rescinding unilateral sanctions on Asmara and engaging directly with Eritrean leadership, Rubio’s warning signals zero tolerance for regional escalation or violations of international borders. 🇺🇸🛡️

💡 Geopolitical Takeaway

"A leader who writes his own victories in tweets cannot erase the terms delivered in closed-door diplomacy."

The message from Washington, Cairo, Mogadishu, and Asmara remains aligned: borders are inviolable, littoral sovereignty is non-negotiable, and domestic crises cannot be exported across regional coastlines. 🕊️⚡

Press Release

Ethiopia’s Deplorable Acts of Hostility

https://t.co/kmkxALIAuG

*"...In reality, it is Ethiopia which has been pursuing an agenda of incessant hostility – in effect, a publicly pronounced declaration of war – against Eritrea for three years in pursuit of 'the imperative of acquiring sovereign access to the sea' through the invasion of sovereign Eritrean ports and coastal areas".

*"...Throughout these trying times, Eritrea has displayed patience and restraint in the hope of averting a dangerous escalation".

*"...In the current circumstances, however, Eritrea has no option but to reciprocate in kind and severe all diplomatic ties with Ethiopia with all the negative corollaries that this entails".

[Yemane G. Meskel 🇪🇷 @hawelti]

Potemkin Party's broken gramophone continues to play the same stale chorus!

Today, it is the turn of Ethiopia's Commander of the Air Force to brazenly declare the impending invasion of Assab; oblivious that this pronouncement constitutes a flagrant violation of international law and the UN Charter on the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity of a UN Member State.

In some ways, these statements increasingly look as mandatory rituals of allegiance to the PP's agenda of war and conflict by the Army's top brass.

Information Note Regarding #Eritrea-Ethiopia Relations

(Document circulated to UNSC Member States on 13 October yesterday in response to "Ethiopia’s Note on Current Developments” of 11 October 2026)

*"...Over the past three years, the Government of Ethiopia has sustained and progressively intensified its unprovoked war agenda against Eritrea under the rubric of acquiring 'Sovereign access to the sea, through negotiations if possible and force if necessary', in violation of the UN Charter and the 2018 Peace and Friendship Agreement between the two countries. Ethiopia’s acts of aggression and destabilization include the pronounced establishment of a Naval Force with jurisdiction over and strategic depth in Eritrea’s southern coastal region".

*"...Taken together, these developments are tantamount to, and constitute, a brazen violation of Eritrea’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, in breach of the prohibition of the threat or use of force under Article 2(4) of the Charter of the United Nations".

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.

#Eritrea's National Service was & remains the "hue & cry" of battle for most western countries in their campaigns of defamation. Yet, new buzz around in some EU capitals - London, Bonn - etc. is resumption of National Service due to perceived NS concerns. Duplicity at its best!
