The Eritrean star, riding for NSN Cycling Team, powered to a brilliant victory in the opening stage of the 2026 Baloise Belgium Tour - 17/06/2026
Well done, Bini
Potemkin Party's signature trademark has been aptly described by the formula: PP Propaganda = Lies + Deception + Delusion + Disinformation + "Dazzling" Optics.
Indeed, the article (Al Jazeera, 11 June 2026) by mercurial Getachew Reda (PP's Advisor for East African Affairs); and Redwan Hussein, (PP's Director General for National Intelligence and Security Services) accentuates, in more graphic terms, this poignant reality.
Let us revert to the facts:
1. The tragic war that ravaged Ethiopia for two years from 4 November 2020 until 2 November 2022 with devastating consequences stemmed from, and has its roots in, Ethiopia's internal and perennial ethnic cleavages. Eritrea was dragged into the imposed conflict at the behest of the Federal Government, and more importantly, due to the broad objectives of the war agenda that explicitly included and targeted Eritrea itself. This is on the public record. As one of the principal architects and fervent advocates of the war, Getachew Redda is intimately aware of all these facts; a matter that is easily validated by his numerous posts under his X handle in those tragic times.
2. At the end of the war, PP political and military leaders from the Prime Minister downwards, profusely expressed their profound gratitude to Eritrea. Again, this is on the public record.
2. Getachew Reda and Redwan Hussein weave a theatrical and fictitious story about the consternation of their South African Hosts in Pretoria as the "negotiating team from the two warring parties would get into a fist fight in the middle of the Conference Hall if not shepherded to steer clear of one another".
3. Problem with this fictitious and romanticized story is the Parties had, in fact, held secret meetings in Djibouti and Seychelles months back under the sponsorship of US and EU "Peace Facilitators". And as it was later divulged by Getachew Redda himself, the two Teams had contemplated prompt reconciliation, reportedly under the prodding of the PP Party, to join forces and wage a war of aggression against Eritrea that they both agreed was, in their contorted views, "the ultimate threat to them". These meetings took place in August 2022; when the war was still raging ferociously. A Confidential EU Report issued in September 2022 further corroborated this "imminent trend".
4. The Pretoria Agreement is essentially a peace-pact between warring sides in Ethiopia. It is, and remains, an Ethiopian affair; purely and exclusively. Eritrea's stance and support to the Pretoria Agreement stems from its principled desire and commitment to promote regional peace and stability. In this sense, Eritrea has neither the political appetite nor the interest to scuttle an agreement between Ethiopian political forces if all the parties indeed implement the provisions of the agreement in good faith.
5. In this perspective, PP's current propaganda and transparent disinformation campaigns, as epitomized by the article in question, are designed to re-package the unprovoked agenda of conflict and hostility that it has unleashed against Eritrea since December 2023 in the quest of what it calls "sovereign access to the sea", in "self-defense" terms.
6. The unfortunate fact is: it is PP's delusional agendas (illicit MOU with Somali-land; logistical and other military support to RSF under the bidding of other external forces; and provocative pronouncement, accompanied by unremitting saber-rattling, for acquiring Assab and other Eritrean coastal lands "through negotiations if possible and force if necessary" ) that are stoking unnecessary and avoidable tensions in the Horn.

Eritrea's Sovereignty Is Not Negotiable 🇪🇷🫱🏻🫲🏾🇪🇬
Egypt's reaffirmation of its support for Eritrea's sovereignty and territorial integrity sends a clear message: respect for national independence remains the foundation of regional stability. As Eritrea and Egypt strengthen cooperation, both nations continue to advocate for a secure Red Sea, a stable Horn of Africa, and solutions based on mutual respect rather than pressure or interference.
A strong Eritrea means a stronger and more stable region. Sovereignty is not a privilege it is a right that must be respected and protected.

Eritrea and Egypt have agreed, in talks held this afternoon between Foreign Minister Osman Saleh and his Egyptian counterpart, Dr. Badr Abdellaty, to strengthen their all-rounded bilateral ties of cooperation and to coordinate their respective positions on issues of common interest.
In a Joint Press Conference held after the talks, the two Foreign Ministers:
- Invoked the historical and brotherly ties that exist between Eritrea and Egypt and the extensive talks held between President Isaias Afwerki and President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in Cairo on 8 June this week.
- Affirmed that the two sides have reached a cooperation agreement on the sectors of mining, infrastructure, housing, the pharmaceutical industry, maritime transport, ports connectivity as well as ports development especially in Assab, Massawa and Marsa Fatima; and, land, air and maritime connectivity between the two countries.
- Egypt reiterated its full support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Eritrea.
- In regard to the security of the Red Sea and the region as a whole, they reiterated the need and urgency of bolstering the capabilities of national institutions as the bedrock of stability and development. This was in line with the pronounced and aligned positions of the two Heads of State on the imperative of respecting the foundational principles of international law on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all States.
The two Foreign Ministers further affirmed the continuation of periodic consultative meetings in Cairo and Asmara between relevant government bodies of the two sides as well as coordination in their positions on regional and international matters.
Egyptian political analyst Khaled Mahmoud says Ethiopiaʼs maritime ambitions have become an important talking point between Cairo and Asmara.
“The strategic relations between Egypt and Eritrea go far beyond the Ethiopian issue in many aspects,” he says.
“Naturally, Cairo and Asmara share deep concerns regarding Ethiopiaʼs destabilising ambitions in the region, particularly its narrative about a ʻright to access the Red Seaʼ.”
That narrative, he argues, is not merely about securing a commercial foothold, but is driven by Addis Ababaʼs pursuit of a permanent, strategic military presence.
According to Mahmoud, both governments increasingly see their cooperation as a way of deterring any attempt to alter the regional balance of power.
“The Egyptian-Eritrean alliance serves, in part, as a deterrent to these ambitions, which could trigger new wars in the region, especially given Ethiopiaʼs previous hints at resorting to military force to achieve its goals at Eritreaʼs expense.”
