#Eritrea: Independence Day Celebrations on full swing. Street Carnival at Martyrs and Liberation Avenues in Asmara this afternoon showcasing cultural dances and fielding more than 13,000 participants from all administrative sub-zones in the capital.

Photo exhibition and documentary films also featured in festive events organized by Eritrea's Defense Forces (yesterday); and the National Union of Eritrean women (this morning), respectively.

Audacity of Potemkin Party minions and their hired apologists is indeed beyond the pale.

The PP regime's delusional policies continue to foment, beyond any shred of doubt, unnecessary tension in the region:
- Exhibit 1: the illicit MOU that the PP regime signed stealthily with Somaliland in January 2024;
- Exhibit 2: the relentless media and diplomatic campaigns, accompanied by incessant saber-rattling, that the regime has unleashed since December 2023 to invade Assab in pursuit of its pipedream of "sovereign access to the sea";
- Exhibit 3: PP's widely reported (Yale University findings etc.) involvement in the conflict in the Sudan whose tentacles and dangerous ramifications (link below) are multi-layered and grave indeed.

Still, PP minions and their apologists accuse Eritrea and other countries in the region for "conspiracies... for forming an axis of powers" against Ethiopia.

These false flags are too transparent and cannot camouflage the real source and incubator of unnecessary and avoidable tension in the Horn of Africa region.

The lofty aspirations of the peoples of the region remain enduring peace and cooperation anchored on respect of each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity; not perennial conflicts to mollify elusive ambitions of hegemony and domination.

Integrated Organic Agriculture in Eritrea
(MoA Newsletter; May, 2026)

Eritrea has made significant progress over the past five years in promoting integrated organic agriculture
through coordinated national efforts and support from development partners. The initiative has focused
on reducing dependence on synthetic agricultural inputs while encouraging environmentally friendly and locally adaptable alternatives. Through research, training, and field-level implementation, the program has established a strong foundation for transforming agricultural systems into more resilient, productive, and health conscious models.

#Eritrea: Strategic Communication for Narrative Shaping, Prospects for GoE and UN Collaboration; by Yemane G/Meskel
(Paraphrased and updated version of a speech made at UN Regional Directors Retreat in Asmara on August 2025)

On this memorable month of May - Eritrea's 35th Independence Anniversary - the notorious Conflict Entrepreneurs and detractors seem to have doubled down on their usual vitriol against the country. Reuters and other mainstream media outlets have also joined the defamatory chorus. For instance, Reuters gullibly recycles, in its news analysis of the lifting of US sanctions, discredited and demonizing labels on Eritrea and its government citing the discredited UN Special Rapporteur and US-based Freedom House as credible and authoritative sources in spite of its avowed commitment to 'balance, neutrality and impartiality' as spelled out in its own Standards- "The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles".

In a more broader context and as underlined in the speech:

*"... The campaign of defamation has its ebbs and flows. It is particularly toxic during certain months of the year of historical significance to Eritrea. These are: i) September, that coincides with the beginning of the Armed Struggle for Liberation; ii) May, our Independence Anniversaries; and, iii) June, the month when we commemorate our Martyrs".

*"...The predictable and repetitive patterns of Eritrea-bashing & defamation, has impelled some of us active in Social Media to designate these periods as Eri-Influenza Months".

*"...Unfortunately, the worst offenders in this category include some of the politicized agencies in the UN system".

*"...The defamatory narrative on Eritrea, often cloaked in demeaning and pejorative labels, is widely recycled by pliant and complicit mainstream media outlets as well as the closed loop of hired lobbyists and Intel Operatives masquerading as experts and pundits on the Horn of Africa region – that we aptly call እፍሊ ሓንጨመንጪ".

#Eritrea: Longstanding Commitment to Social Development and Social Justice; by Bana Negusse

*"...Beyond sectoral policies, Eritrea’s social justice framework has also shaped state-building and social cohesion. By emphasizing equitable service delivery across ethnic, linguistic, and religious lines, alongside maintaining inclusive language policies, the State has sought to prevent the 'horizontal inequalities' that research links to conflict. Investments in infrastructure and social protection programs targeting vulnerable groups across regions have reinforced perceptions of fairness and shared national inclusion".

*"...Taken together, Eritrea’s experience highlights both the progress that can be achieved and the sustained commitment required to advance social justice in challenging circumstances. Over the past three decades, efforts to prioritize equality, inclusion, and shared development have contributed to gains in health, education, gender equality, and social cohesion".

#Eritrea - Expanding the Blue Economy: Substantial Growth in Fishery; by Mussie Efriem

"...Eritrea’s marine territory is home to a remarkably diverse range of fisheries categorized by their specific ecological roles and harvesting methods. The soft-bottom demersal habitats are primarily exploited by industrial trawlers targeting species such as lizardfish, threadfin bream, catfish, and high-value shrimp. In contrast, the hard-bottom and reef environments support a vibrant ecosystem of food and ornamental fish such as snappers and groupers, which are harvested by artisanal fishermen using traditional hook-and-line techniques. The water column is divided between small pelagic, such as sardines and anchovies, targeted by beach and purse seines, and large pelagic, including tuna and mackerel, which are typically caught by gill nets. Beyond standard finfish, Eritrea has lucrative specialized resources such as sea cucumbers (locally known as hi’dra), snail shells, and trochus shells, along with a variety of shellfish, including crabs, lobsters, and cephalopods such as squid and octopus. While the region also supports a shark fishery, it is frequently driven by the high market value of fins".

#Eritrea - A major Signpost on the Road to Independence: Operation Fenqil

*"...The Battle of Massawa stands as a testament to strategic vision, resilience, and the ability of a well-organized liberation movement to overcome superior numbers and advanced weaponry. Unlike Afabet, which had demonstrated the EPLF’s growing military capabilities, Massawa showcased the organization’s capacity for complex joint operations, integrating land and naval forces to achieve decisive results. It also marked a turning point in the psychological war, signaling to Ethiopian forces and the international community alike that Eritrean independence was no longer a distant dream but an impending reality".

*"...In retrospect, the fall of Massawa exemplifies the confluence of strategy, morale, and historical necessity in shaping the outcome of protracted liberation struggles. The battle reaffirmed that disciplined organization, local knowledge, and strategic innovation could decisively overcome a conventionally superior force. Eritrea’s eventual independence was the culmination of these victories – a hard-won triumph born of decades of struggle, tactical brilliance, and unyielding determination".

Press Release

False Accusations to Serve Ulterior Agendas
(Ministry of Information; Asmara, 9 February 2026)

"The patently false and fabricated accusations against Eritrea issued by Ethiopia's Foreign Minister yesterday is astounding in its tone and substance, underlying motivation, and overarching objective".

[G. Drar @gdrarr]

Guess who is lying?

A) Abiy claims Ethiopia built the controversial GERD dam without taking a single dollar in help or loans from anyone.
B) Trump repeatedly said Ethiopia’s large dam GERD is financed by the United States.

So, who do you think is lying?

Remember, Abiy also said in a different context that Ethiopia is a beggar nation that often lives off begging from everywhere.
