Shererina war has taught clowns in 4 Kilo; everyone is more determined than ever to take over Addis Ababa. PP is fully responsible for starting and prolonging the war in Amhara for more than 3 years, drone attacks on Tigray, and being a proxy for the UAE against Sudan,

Iranian General Mohammad Reza Naqdi:
We produce ballistic missiles at a rate exceeding the rate at which they are fired.

In the field of drones as well, our production capacity is far greater than the rate at which they are deployed.

Even if the war lasts for several years, our ballistic missiles will continue to rain down on the enemy.

Yemen Ansrallah/Houthi fighters send 10 ballistic missiles against Saudi proxy fighters in southern Yemen and...they all ran away, left their weapons and abandoned their forts. Damn, another Saudi defeat...

🚨🚨🚨Inspired by her visit to #Eritrea, Nandi Mandela called for trade, empowerment and African unity.

“…..My visit to #Eritrea showed me that political freedom must bring economic freedom. I witnessed the power of self-reliance, education and development funded from within. Africa needs equal partnerships built on trade, shared knowledge and mutual respect.Women and young people must be empowered to lead our continent forward. Our natural resources must first improve the lives of African citizens. Together, we can revive the true spirit of Pan-Africanism.”https://t.co/gia7pzI7WU #Eritrea #SouthAfrica #Africa @ERiTV_Official @_AfricanUnion⁠@AfDB_Group⁠@NEPAD_Agency⁠@AfCFTA⁠@ECA_OFFICIAL⁠@UNDPAfrica⁠@IFAD⁠@FAOAfrica⁠@DIRCO_ZA⁠@AU_WGYD⁠@AU_ECOSOCC⁠@UNOAU_ @StateDept @mfa_russia @MFA_China @EUCouncil ⁠

[Yemane G. Meskel 🇪🇷 @hawelti]

The Potemkin Party’s propaganda machinery is increasingly edgy and seems to spin out of control to miss the whole plot these days.

The telltale signs of this desperate mindset and quagmire are better accentuated by:
- the marathon interviews of its leader in the past ten days with Amhara Media Corporation (AMECO) and Oromo Broadcasting Network (OBN) principally on domestic issues but with frequent provocative digressions on Eritrea;
- the flurry of articles/Tv programmes on Eritrea by the Potemkin Party’s official/affiliated media outlets – Ethiopian News Agency (ENA), Ethiopian Broadcasting Corporation (EBC), Fana Broadcasting Corporate (FBC), FDRE Institute of Foreign Affairs, Horn Review, etc.

PP’s new narrative on domestic issues peddled in the Interviews is naturally an internal matter that has no pertinence to Eritrea. As such, we shall not delve into their substance though we may allude, in passing, to the overwhelming consensus/verdict by most Ethiopian analysts on its dangerously myopic tactical approaches – and double-speak. That the Interviews are maliciously aimed at stigmatizing as well as inciting cleavages and polarization between certain, and especially the Amhara and Tigrayan, ethnic nationalities and intended as desperate appeals for sectarian support from the Oromo ethnic constituency.

In reference to Eritrea, the PP’s manufactured narratives venture into “creative” fantasies and fictious constructs that are grossly at variance with historical facts and events.

In a nutshell, the new “PP linen”, touted for the market, consists of:
1. Preposterous claims of Oromo “expedition” into Eritrea in the distant past to include full occupation of Midri Bahri (Medieval and independent Kingdom in the Highlands and eastern lowlands of present-day Eritrea). For “incontrovertible proof”, the pretentious PP leader invokes a phony conjecture of semantics to speculate “same origins” between Barentu (Eritrea’s capital city of the Gash Barka Region) and Borona in present-day Oromia Region; as well as Soira (the highest mountain in Eritrea), Debra and other numerous names (not explicitly listed in the Interview) in Eritrea with similar sounding places in Oromia etc.

2. These fantasies could have been routinely dismissed as hollow and risible if they were not fraught with tragic consequences.

3. Indeed, what the newly minted narrative signifies is that the malaise/quest for “sovereign port ownership” by invading Eritrean sovereign territory that the PP leader enunciated in October 2023; his previous and outrageous claims that “he could not find legal documents on Eritrean independence in Ethiopian official archives (Cabinet, Parliament etc.)”; subsequent claims on Eritrea’s Dahlak Islands and the southern coastline for reasons of “strategic depth” to “project Ethiopia’s maritime power” etc. have degenerated further towards terminal metastasis.

4. In effect, the Potemkin Party’s revisionist history and toxic agenda have now morphed into full-scale denial of Eritrea’s inalienable status as a sovereign nation. This recent chorus of aggression and war is of course antithetical to the 2018 Eritrea-Ethiopia Friendship Agreement which was anchored on Ethiopia’s full adherence to international law (and EEBC Award) and for which he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize!

5. Duplicitous and ironic as it is, the Potemkin Party’s agenda of aggression and war are increasingly couched in self-defense terms these days. To this end, Eritrea is constantly portrayed, by the PP’s media outlets, as “innately insecure whose survival depends on perpetual destabilization of Ethiopia”. Eritrea’s independence struggle is denigrated as an “external conspiratorial agenda that was concocted to weaken Ethiopia”.

6. All these transparent ruses are willfully peddled to prepare “historical and legal rationale” for a destructive war. The truth is Eritrea has never had the interest or political design and will to destabilize Ethiopia. The costly and long war of liberation was imposed on Eritrea due to Ethiopia’s expansionist ambitions and annexation in flagrant breach of international law. The border war from 1998-2000 essentially erupted due to the willful desire of the incumbent regime to change the sacrosanct colonial borders in violation of international law, the UN Charter and the AU’s Constitutive Act. The climate of tension and conflict that looms in the Horn of Africa region today is, again, largely a product of the Potemkin Party’s misguided policies of irredentism and hegemony. The illicit MOU that the Potemkin Party signed with Somaliland in 2024; its hosting of military base in southwestern Ethiopia to provide support to the RSF under the bidding of the UAE; and its constant threats and saber-rattling against Eritrea complete the picture of the reckless policies of destabilization to which the Potemkin Party seems wedded to for reasons known to itself.

7. Finally, Eritrea had indeed cultivated networks of support with various Ethiopian liberation movements, including the Oromo Liberation Front, during the armed struggle in 1980s. These were based on common denominators and platforms of opposition to oppression by the incumbent regimes in Ethiopia and recognition of Eritrea’s legitimate rights of decolonization. Even in those times, Eritrea’s principled position on Ethiopia’s unity and territorial integrity were crystal clear and explicitly pronounced; including in its 1984 seminal paper on EPLF ties with Ethiopian Opposition Movements.

A week-long study visit to India has left me with incredible memories, new perspectives, new friendships, and a renewed appreciation for the depth and complexity of a country that has so much to share with the world. The visit offered far more than an opportunity to see India. It provided a window into its diplomacy, history, institutions, culture, development experience and, above all, its people.

My colleagues and I, the Permanent Representatives of #Burundi, #CaboVerde, #Chile, #Eritrea, #Fiji, #Guatemala, #GuineaBissau, #Indonesia, #Iraq, #Kenya, #Mauritius, #Nicaragua, #Panama, #Slovakia St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and #SierraLeone, spent one week together, sharing experiences, perspectives and lots of laughter.

The opening briefing and dinner set the tone for a week of substantive engagement and exchange. Our interactions with senior Indian officials, including Ambassador Sibi George, Secretary (West), and India’s External Affairs Minister, Dr. S. Jaishankar, provided valuable insights into India’s foreign policy, its development experience, and its growing role in a rapidly changing international environment.

Paying homage to Mahatma Gandhi at Rajghat was particularly meaningful. Gandhi’s legacy transcends India. His ideas on national liberation, peace, non-violence and human dignity continue to resonate far beyond the country in which he lived and led.

The programme also gave us an opportunity to experience India's extraordinary historical and cultural heritage. Places such as Rashtrapati Bhavan and the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus are reminders that heritage is not simply about magnificent buildings. It is about the history, craftsmanship, creativity and encounters between cultures that those buildings embody. CSMT, for example, reflects a remarkable synthesis of Victorian Gothic and Indian architectural traditions and stands today as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

There were also some wonderful personal moments.
Meeting #Eritrea’s Ambassador to India, H.E. Alem Woldermariam, was particularly special and oen that I was looking forward to. And then came an unexpected connection: meeting an Indian peacekeeper who had served with the United Nations Mission in Ethiopia and Eritrea (UNMEE).

Encountering someone in India who had once served in Eritrea was one of those remarkable moments that reminds us how interconnected our histories and experiences can be. But perhaps the most important lesson from the visit was not found in any particular building or monument. It was found in the people...

The visit also reinforced for me the value of South-South cooperation and of countries learning from one another, not by copying models, but by understanding experiences, adapting what is relevant and finding solutions rooted in their own realities.

And then, at the very end of the journey, came the moment that made the week deeply personal.
My parents visited the Taj Mahal in the 1960s.
I grew up with a photograph of them standing there. That photograph became part of my childhood image of India, long before I ever imagined that one day I would have the opportunity to travel there myself. Decades later, I finally stood where they had stood...

The Taj Mahal is, of course, one of the world's most recognizable monuments and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. But for me, it was much more than an extraordinary monument of architecture and history.
It was a connection across generations...

Some journeys take us to places we have never seen.
Others take us back to where our dreams began.

This journey did both.

How can she even be trusted with any supervision over people when we heard of all the warcrimes the IDF has committed?

The swift and decisive dismissal of Zolghadr suggests that representatives of the Supreme Leader in the Supreme National Security Council are, in principle, expected to follow the Supreme Leader's position, rather than that of Pezeshkian and Galibaf

He Said It in 2024. Now the Mask Is Coming Off. 🇪🇷

When President Isaias Afwerki spoke about #Oromummaa during Eritrea’s Independence Day in 2024, the PP propaganda machinery erupted. They mocked it, attacked it, and dismissed the warning.

But visionary leadership is not measured by applause—it is measured by seeing what others refuse to see.

Today, as Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed increasingly frames Ethiopia’s future through an Oromo-centered political narrative, the question Isaias raised is becoming harder to ignore:

Was the warning really about the past—or was it about what was coming next?

Abiy promised a great Ethiopia. Instead of building a shared national project, critics argue that he has increasingly leaned into identity politics, historical revisionism, and Oromo-centered symbolism.

You cannot build a united Ethiopia by constantly reopening the question of who owns its history, its identity, and its future.

And you cannot hide an expansionist political imagination behind the language of identity forever.

In 2024, they called it propaganda.
In 2026, reality is forcing the conversation.

History does not always announce the future. Sometimes, it simply gives you the warning signs.

🇪🇷 Eritrea saw the signs early.

The Horn of Africa is currently experiencing a noteworthy movement as the people actively pursue peace and stability through the "XMDO" initiative. This initiative is committed to reflecting the complex realities on the ground that arise from the unique situations faced by the region's nations. It is fueled by a coalition of passionate activists hailing from Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan, and Eritrea, all of whom are deeply engaged in promoting the necessity and significance of people-to-people 'XMDO' interactions. By fostering understanding and collaboration among diverse communities, they are working tirelessly to challenge and overcome common adversaries that threaten the region's peace and unity. In recent months, significant gatherings of 'XMDO' have been organised along the borders of Eritrea and in key cities such as Khartoum, Port Sudan, and most recently, Nairobi, Kenya. These events serve as important platforms for dialogue and collaboration, highlighting the ongoing development and strengthening of interpersonal relationships among the people of the Horn of Africa. Participants and activists at these gatherings share their experiences and insights, working together to build a supportive network focused on enhancing people-to-people relations.
The vibrant initiatives shaping the Horn of Africa highlight a remarkable spirit of collaboration and shared aspirations. As this movement continues to grow, we remain optimistic that it will pave the way for enduring peace and stability for all in the region and beyond. Our heartfelt congratulations to the dedicated participants and advocates of 'XMDO' for their unwavering commitment. #XMDO #DiscoverAfrica
