🇪🇷Eritrea's Chess, Abiy’s Checkers: How PIA Outsmarted a Political Novice ♟️
When you’re playing checkers against a grandmaster of chess, every move you make is already anticipated.
That’s exactly how Eritrea's leadership has handled Ethiopia’s PM Abiy Ahmed.
🇪🇷 President Isaias Afwerki (PIA) welcomed Abiy early, offered him access to Eritrea’s beauty, let him taste the Red Sea, and fed him dreams of regional leadership — all while taking meticulous notes.
🎭 Eritrea swiftly identified Abiy’s real talent: performance, not policy — and just as swiftly saw through it.
💡 From there, it became 10 steps ahead strategy:
✔️ Use Abiy's ambition to break isolation
✔️ Leverage shifting geopolitics to Eritrea’s advantage
✔️ Stay steady under U.S. and EU sanctions
✔️ Outmaneuver noise with silence and precision
📢 So when President Isaias said “ቅሰኑ” (Calm down) in his last Independence Day speech — it wasn’t dismissive. It was a message: We already know your next move.
Eritrea has stood against empires. It knows how to disarm big egos with quiet strategy. Abiy is walking into a political trap set with surgical patience.

Simple yet out-of-our-grasp for centuries! #African leaders must understand & practice-We can only Rise together or Fall together. No single #Nation, #Leader, #Ethnicity can stand alone in greatness. Key factors are cooperation, integration. We must learn from the demise of #TPLF
Mark Simmons (Bloomberg News), peddles yet another libelous & outrageous accusation against Eritrea quoting “anonymous sources & TPLF authorities”. Transparent motive of demonization campaign is to provide some rationale for TPLF’s predictable prevarication from its commitments
WOW! The key words from this Tweet are - Actively Engaged at the highest levels of our government - to take appropriate measures .... #DisarmTPLF#EritreaPrevails#EthiopiaPrevails
Western powers and the United Nations demand an immediate cessation of hostilities and the withdrawal of Eritrean troops. Eritrean army presence in Ethiopia not verified by independent parties #DisarmTPLF#TPLFisTheCause@JosepBorrellF@trussliz#TPLFMustGo
Widening the Goal Posts only because #US & #EU have not scored will make the @_AfricanUnion position weak in its capacity as a negotiator! First the Kenyata debacle & now with insertion of 'support' of International Actors will not bode well for new & Independent AU #DisarmTPLF
