Yemane Gebremeskel, Eritrea's information minister, told Reuters that the sanctions had caused incalculable damage to the country.
"The unilateral sanctions imposed by the Biden Administration five years ago were not warranted by any metrics... In this respect, we welcome the gesture and remedial measures by the Trump Administration," he said.

Snit, you won. 🇪🇷
You won something greater than a crown you won the hearts of your people.
You showed young Eritrean girls that they can dream bigger: become scientists, doctors, caregivers, leaders or stand proudly on the world’s biggest stage.
You represented Eritrea, our culture, and our people with beauty, dignity, and grace.
You made Eritrea proud. You are truly a queen of your people. 🇪🇷❤️

Potemkin Party officials, hired apologists and minions, have this knack for invoking postulates and arguments that are banal in substance but are, nonetheless, packaged in ostensibly "academic/geopolitical" analysis and garb for purposes of deceptive "credibility".
Latest variants and versions in this saga of incessant public agitation and saber rattling include:
* Delusional arguments on the "imperative for Ethiopia to project naval power to enhance the security of the Red Sea" because, we are told, "the task cannot be fully handled by the littoral States". Leaving unequivocal legal provisions and prevailing robust security configurations aside, the argument is too ludicrous to merit response. It is indeed mind-boggling why a regime notorious for incubating, and that is constantly embroiled in, perpetual internal conflicts of its own making has the temerity to assume an out-sized regional mantle as an "indispensable anchor State" instead of finding enduring panacea to its real and enormous challenges.
* Tenuous arguments, in addition to worn-out references of population size etc., , on exorbitant "transit fees" and purported reduction in its annual GDP growth due to the lack of "sovereign access to the sea". These arguments are often laced with rather explicit corollary/threats that the regime "may indeed unleash war against its neighbour" to rectify these "existential threats". The Potemkin Party's outrageous allusion to "precedence of, and analogy with, Israel's annexation of the Golan Heights" at the last Session of the House of the Peoples Representatives was made in this context principally to mislead its domestic constituencies. Apparently, the myopic and callous PP officials are oblivious to the economic devastation and loss of life that any war of aggression is fraught with when they indulge in, and agitate for. these reckless agendas.
*This is the real backdrop and underlying rationale behind the patently false and fabricated accusations leveled against Eritrea by the PP regime these days. Transparent as they are, the spurious arguments for unleashing war to acquire "sovereign access to the sea" have not, and cannot, find any traction or political endorsement in the wider world. The war agenda must thus be inverted and re-packaged under false premises and pretexts.
It is always encouraging to hear fellow Africans recognize Eritrea’s and Eritreans’ uniqueness, kindness, and wisdom. Thank you, sir. We are simply being ourselves, but it means a great deal to hear such kind words about our people and our country.

Eritrean women were not spectators in the liberation struggle. They were fighters, commanders, medics, intelligence operatives, mothers, and cultural guardians. Nearly 40% of the fighting force, they shaped victory, shattered barriers, and proved liberation is impossible when half a nation is sidelined.
