Excellent Read - Misinformation in Academic Robes: Intellectual Malpractice Disguised as Scholarship; by Ghidewon Abay

Rigorous rebuttal that illustrates, in a more broader perspective, the subordination of academic integrity by certain circles in these crucial times to lobbyists/powers with deep pockets, and/or geopolitical objectives and exigencies.

Excellent Read - Reviving Flavors, Reimagining Identity: #Eritrea’s New Culinary Journey;
by Kidanemariam Feday

"Food tourism represents another powerful opportunity. Eritrea’s landscapes, traditions, and hospitality naturally lend themselves to immersive culinary experiences. Food festivals in Asmara, seaside seafood celebrations in Massawa, camel milk tasting in the lowlands, coffee tours in the highlands, and farm-to-table events in Keren can attract visitors from across Africa and beyond. With its unique combination of history, diverse cultures, and the Red Sea, Eritrea can create a tourism identity that blends cuisine, storytelling, and hospitality into a compelling destination".

Good Read - From Harmful Tradition to Positive Transformation: Eritrea’s Effort to Eradicate FGM/C; by Bana Negusse

"Eritrea’s comprehensive strategy has yielded tangible, data-backed results. Since 2014, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare, and NUEW, with support from international partners, have conducted FGM/C mapping studies to monitor trends and measure impact. Findings have been striking: FGM/C prevalence among girls under 15 dropped from 18.2 percent in 2014 to 2.3 percent in 2020, while among girls under five, the rate fell from 6.9 percent to just 0.54 percent over the same period. Compared with the 2010 Eritrean Population and Health Survey, which reported 33.2 percent prevalence among girls under 15 and 12.4 percent among girls under five, this represents an extraordinary reduction in just a decade".
