Excited to share my article, '‘I Am a Language Refugee’: Linguistic Coloniality and Asylum as a Postcolonial Boomerang in the UK' in Geopolitics.

@SamuelTsegai1 Also, if we follow Yifru's logic, we're downplaying the fact that Ethiopia's rationale for 'offering' educational opportunities for Eritreans was primarily driven by a logic of colonial facilitation. Some want us to take this up as Ethiopia's benevolent offer. I say ኣፍትሑላ.

Yesterday we held the final event of the Channel Crossings project, a 3-year ESCR funded research that investigated the UK response to (irregularised) migration in the English Channel.
You can read our final report here: https://t.co/1K98rLPvC1

@Aribanob I agree. In the context of Eritrea, it is the atemporal ascription of 'maryrdom' that is needs re-thinking (not questioning/trivialising Tegadelti's place our in history though).

💬 "you are too friendly and smiley and polite"

Was just one comment made by the company running the Bibby Stockholm barge to staff.

Yet earlier this week, the Home Office gave Corporate Travel Management (CTM) an even bigger stake in the asylum industrial complex. 🧵

A war on Brigade N’Hamedu is a war on our diasporic struggle for justice. 6/6

[Tesfalem H. Yemane @THYemane]

Many European governments (Germany, UK, Sweden, Netherlands etc) move to hunt and suppress the [Eritrean] opposition group, Brigade N’Hamedu, under a tawdry cloak of deterring disorder. 1/6

[Tesfalem H. Yemane @THYemane]

If Brigade N’Hamedu were Russian opposition movements in Europe, we’d be seeing a flurry of solidarity speeches and support, not a concocted terrorismizability of a just fight against injustice.

With Arteta in charge, I think it's safe to conlude that @Arsenal won't win the #PremierLeague.

Statement from @nrc_norway @NRC_Egeland
Sudan’s conflict has triggered the largest displacement crisis in the world with 11 mil+ uprooted within the country, & 3 mil outside it. An estimated 24 mil are in acute need of food, incl 1.5 mil "on the edge of famine."

@SamuelTsegai1 So, what does Isaias do to help Egypt advance its geostrategic interests in the region? Until recently, he was close friend with Abiy and mortgaged our youth for his personal goals. Could you also characterise this as two states forging alliance against a common threat?

[Tesfalem H. Yemane @THYemane]

For the admirers of Isaias' 'Eritrea is not for sale', here he is, signing Eritrea's status as Egypt's vassal state in the HoA. Quite a turn from exchanging rings with Abiy to El-Sisi's errand boy.

@SamuelTsegai1 And I think I've tried to explain how I read it. You might disagree with my interpretation but you've to also tell why we should see this just as a normal IR practice b/n states. What do you think is Egypt up to in the HoA, & what does it offer Eritrea ( not Isaias)?
