I don't understand how that is possible when it's internal conflict against #Fano can't win. If it is one of the best army in Africa

[Sputnik Africa @sputnik_africa]

The Ethiopian Army is one of the strongest in the continent.

According to the 2025 Global Firepower Index, Ethiopia's military ranks fifth out of 38 African nations assessed.

Why is Ethiopia's army so powerful? You will discover the reasons in this thread: 👇

Where? In #Ethiopia or #Europe? They can bark all day in America, Europe, or Addis Abeba, but no one would listen. The train in #Eritrea has left.

No court, no authority, no critic can stop what’s coming. #BrigadeNhamedu is the voice of a silenced and oppressed nation, and we’re done being quiet.✊🏿

@martinplaut, why are you the bitting drum of war always? Leave the #eastafrica alone.

[Martin Plaut @martinplaut]

With the appointment of Tadesse Worede to lead Tigray is there a moment of hope in the Horn? Tension between Eritrea and Ethiopia seems to be on hold. What about the fighting in other areas of Ethiopia - Oromia and Amhara? We are trapped between hope and realism

[Samuel Gebreyesus @SamuelGebreyes1]

@martinplaut, are you sure these are Eritreans? How did you know? Lately, lots of people from Tigray have immigrated out of the country. Shame on you to just paint #Eritrea with all bad things. There are lots if Tigrains with Eritrean fake identity.

[Martin Plaut @martinplaut]

Eritreans are the largest group of refugees trying to reach Britain by crossing the Channel from France
A price drop by smugglers and the threat of war with Ethiopia draw record numbers from the poor African country

You are a hater. These children become everything and anything in #Eritrea. Why are you crashing the truth? These children will become defenders, educators, teachers, engineers, doctors, and so on. In #Eritrea, it is made by #Eritrean for #Eritrean|s

[Maki @t96489]

While children in other countries go to school and advance with technology, #Eritrea ensures its youth have no future beyond indefinite military service. As the saying goes, “Train them while they’re young” but in the eyes of the world, this is nothing short of child abuse. @UN

I thought the ethiopian army was there.

🚨Somalia is on the verge of being overrun by Al-Shabaab

Where is the support from Eritrea and Egypt to Somalia?

The radical Islamic jihadi group struck #Mogadishu airport with Mortars.

You are so jealous. It is so sick to even say that. You are entitled to your opinion, but insulting people is sick.

[Berhana H @HTomno83808]

They are owned by the dictatorship in Eritrea, they are raped in the brain. Yes, that's how I can describe it to my Swedish friend, who is sitting next to me and having coffee with me. She just says that the colors make her feel sick. What are all these colors, she wonders?

#Eritrea without the USAID did a lot better than that most African countries. #Ethiopia is the biggest recipient of #USAID, and yet over 30 million people are hungry. Do the math!

[Samuel Gebreyesus @SamuelGebreyes1]

I AFEWORKI was building minds, not buildings. Have you mentioned how the West was against #Eritrea in the last 30+ years? Yet you supported #Ethiopia with #USAID. Leave us alone, and we will show you how it is done. #Eritrea is moving forward, while #Ethiopia is on the falling.

My Message to Eritreans:
In an unusually open interview between the late Ethiopian Prime Minister and Paul B. Henze, a former CIA and national security authority in 1990, spill the beans about IA and #Eritrea.
In this interview he probably answered on of the question that baffles many of us till this day "why is IAfeworki destroying Eritrea for 30+ years after its independence?" The late PM Meles explicity said "it is because Isaias doesn’t believe in the very entity of Eritrea in the first place. ...."Isaias sees problems in independence and does not want to rush and create difficulties for himself, but he doesn’t have full control over this issue. ...He had terrible pressures from his people." ...

Three decades later, what has Eritrea’s independence truly brought? The late Meles Zenawi’s chilling admission forces us to confront a haunting truth: Isaias Afwerki rule has been an endless experiment in survival, not state--building--prolonging suffering to delay an inevitable reckoning with the contradictions of independence.
Yet history offers a narrow path forward. If the disasters of the past 30+ years have proven anything, it is that #Eritreans and #Ethiopians share intertwined fates. The 2018 peace euphoria showed how quickly walls of hate could crumble when hope flickers. Revisiting that spirit--not as a surrender, but as a pragmatic salvation--could spare both nations further suffering. The alternative is more horrifying .
The question is no longer whether Isaias ‘believes’ in Eritrea, but whether its people can reclaim their future from his ruinous dogma. Pragmatic reconciliation and probably a reunification is the only escape before both nations bleed dry.

[Hadelibi☝♡ @Ternafi]

Abiy Ahmed may talk about the Red Sea nonstop to distract from the real issues, but he can’t fool the world. Under his leadership, #Ethiopia has become a failed state.

[Martin Plaut @martinplaut]

With Tigray in political turmoil and Ethiopian PM Abiy weak, all eyes are on Eritrea which has reportedly mobilised its army. But Eritrea is usually cautious and the last to react. Isaias unlikely reveal his hand until the last moment

[Deeqa 🇸🇴 @Deee_luul]

Ethiopia’s disintegration isn’t a matter of "IF", but how much longer it can delay the inevitable! 😏

@MartinPlaut, mind your own business. Every time #Eritrea makes a move, you are afraid of it. You know what, because you understand the #Eritrean mighty power. Where is #TPLF? the one you were crying about.

[Martin Plaut @martinplaut]

A report that the Saudis are making a 'billion dollar bid' for Eritrea's Assab port. No confirmation yet.

How would Ethiopia respond, since Assab has been on its agenda as a route to the sea?

[Abdikarin Dahir @Abdikarindahirr]

🇪🇹Abiy Ahmed, Eritreans are known for their strength and resilience in battle. They have alliances with the Amhara, Fano, and Tigray, while ONLF is also emerging.

Your control barely extends beyond 65 km from Addis Ababa, and Eritrea has the capability to bring the fight to your doorstep.
#Eritrea #Ethiopia

[Samuel Gebreyesus @SamuelGebreyes1]

None of your business!

[Chakham @Chakham_Analyst]

For those claiming #Ethiopia's landlocked status isn't by design, explain this: How did a tiny northern region (~3.5M), through a dubious referendum that excluded the impacted majority, snatch all sea access from Ethiopia, a nation of ~55 million? How could the parent country left without access to the sea? Clearly, leaving Ethiopia without a single gateway to the sea was a strategic blockade (neocolonialists vendetta). Now, with #Eritrea's population stagnant at ~3.6M after 30+ years and Ethiopia's population nearly tripled (133M), nothing convinces me so far that Ethiopia's economic future has any better alternative than to reclaim what was unjustly taken.
