Take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Elie Wiesel
@Quantum8AI@PeterSchiff Hi Peter, trying to parse the conflicting details of US-Iran agreement. While US emphasizes a "toll-free" reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, others, the media mentions levying "service fees"for maritime transit. Could you clarify if this is accurate, &what is the distinction?
Delighted to see Taiwan Prez Lai Ching-te arrive in Eswatini. Shameful for several African nations to deny overflight for Prez’ plane. They should remember how they were victimized as colonies; same what China wants to do to Taiwan. Bravo Eswatini! https://t.co/a96qPYVPKU
Your legacy is an unflinching devotion to the people of Tigrai: beyond propaganda, beyond politics. Tigrai was proud yesterday, stands proud today, and will remain proud tomorrow. Through your struggle, the youth of Tigrai have learned that their future holds another path: peace.
Tigray's tragedy didn't happen in a vacuum. External aggression was devastating, but bad internal political decisions require honest reflection and accountability. The youth must not pay a price for political misjudgment. Tigray’s future must be built on truth & good governance.
This is what good elites do. They educate their people about the perils of jingoism.
This war is not Tigray’s, it’s TPLF’s. And Tigray’s youth must say no to dying Shabya’s death.
Sorry that I have not been posting lately.
I just got back from #Tigray. I will have a lot to say about my trip soon, but for now all I can say is thank you to everyone for sharing your beautiful home with me.
"AFRICA'S TIME HAS COME"
Jeffrey Sachs is one of the world’s most influential economists and a long-time critic of the global system that kept the Global South on its knees. A former adviser to the UN and director at Columbia University, he has spent decades working with governments across Africa, Asia, and Latin America, arguing that development is impossible without sovereignty, long-term planning, and freedom from external domination.
At Wits University, he delivered one of his clearest messages yet: that the age when Britain, France, and the United States could violently derail Pan-African progress has ended. He pointed directly to the historical record: Lumumba assassinated, nationalists overthrown, movements fragmented by CIA and MI6 destabilisation. Sachs argued that the architecture of global power has shifted; Western hegemony is thinner, global multipolarity is rising, and Africa now has both the agency and the demographic weight to resist the old playbook.
For him, Africa’s vast youth population is not a burden but the engine of a new world if the continent invests in skills, education, digital connectivity, and large-scale regional infrastructure. He envisions an Africa that becomes high-income by mid-century; peaceful, confident, and central to global innovation.
From an anti-colonial lens, his remarks are a reminder that Africa’s future is not predetermined by its past. The forces that once crushed Pan-Africanism from the outside can no longer move unchecked. What remains is the internal choice: unity, investment in people, and a continental vision strong enough to close the door on the interventions that once denied Africa its rise.

Amb. Nagy, Tigrayan suffering was not abstract or shared equally—it was systematic and devastating. After years of silence, broad generalization at this moment is dismissive. Other grievances can and should be addressed, but not at the expense of what Tigrayans endured.
OK, Ethiopian PM Abiy has described Eritrean atrocities in Tigray. We all know Tigrayans suffered greatly, along with Amharas, Oromos, and Afars-and it goes on. Great need for a national dialogue and open political process for all- people and parties.

Amb. Nagy, after years of silence on Tigray, this was not the moment to generalize suffering. Tigrayans deserved acknowledgment—full stop. Truth and accountability must precede dialogue.

Allegations of aid diversion, exploitation of IDPs, and illicit mining demand independent investigation. Our role is not rhetoric, but ensuring responsible parties are identified and brought to justice under the law. @UNHumanRights@UN
- TPLF steals food aid & diverts resources away from IDPs.
- It forces them to contribute $ to fill party coffers
- It runs in illicit mining operations in Tigray
- It produced famine & IDPs are dying of hunger.
TPLF is commiting crimes against humanity.
The contrast is unbearable: political promotion alongside images of starving Tigrayans. This points to grave governance failure and possible violations of international humanitarian obligations, warranting independent investigation and accountability.
@MissMartina19 Eritrea has no active universities today, and young people are sent into conscription after secondary school. Instead of mocking graduates elsewhere, imagine the impact if you focused on reopening and building colleges & helping Eritrean children who’ve lost their opportunities.
@Sertseyonas@sdprimeminister Ah yes, “peaceful” Eritrea — where the regime kills or exiles dissenters so Isaias Afwerki and his dictator buddies can enjoy their strolls through Asmara’s empty streets. Nothing says freedom like silence.
@ZecariasG Also, protectionism and 'nothing will change' means missed opportunity. Ports are shared resources; maximizing their value globally requires collaboration, not just local control. The best 'universal rule' is efficiency—it benefits all youth. Agree?
@ZecariasG History shows the only universal rule is change. Nations globally resolve resource conflicts through negotiation (e.g., peace treaties), not perpetual status quo. Youth deserve cooperation over conflict. What universal rule blocks dialogue?
