Good news… The Trump administration is considering lifting U.S. sanctions on Eritrea as part of efforts to reset diplomatic relations!
It is worth recalling what Hillary Clinton once said about Eritrea, according to U.S. diplomatic cables published by WikiLeaks: Eritrea is a bad example of good governance.!
What she meant reflects a broader Western concern about Eritrea’s model of self-reliance, especially after it rejected foreign aid and NGOs such as USAID in the mid-2000s. It was seen as a bad example for Africa, as other countries might follow the same path and move away from dependence on external assistance.
With the current administration shifting its approach to humanitarian aid in Africa and closing down USAID, it seems the time has come to reconsider and lift these sanctions.
Voices like Mohammed Hassen give hope. Despite years of backstabbing by regimes in Ethiopia, the truth about Eritrea is resilience, sovereignty, and a commitment to peaceful coexistence.
Expanding the Blue Economy: Substantial Growth in Fishery
by Mussie Efriem
The Red Sea coast of Eritrea is widely recognized as one of the most favorable environments for the fishing industry. Its unique marine ecosystem provides ideal natural conditions for the rich diversity of fish and other marine resources in the area. The presence of extensive coral reef systems, large areas of soft-bottom seabeds, and the relatively short distance to the continental shelf break contribute to the abundance and accessibility of fish stocks. These features make fishing activities in the area very productive and sustainable for small-scale fishers....

Western Civilization or Western Amnesia? History Africa Refuses to Forget
February 16, 2026
By Ghidewon Abay Asmerom

Empires rarely announce themselves as empires. They return instead wrapped in moral language, armed with selectively remembered history, and convinced of their own innocence. When US Secretary of State Marco Rubio addressed the Munich Security Conference on Valentine’s Day in 2026, he did not offer a defence of civilization so much as he summoned empire once again. Cloaked in the sanctified vocabulary of “Western civilization,” his speech functioned as an exercise in calculated historical falsification, laundering centuries of conquest, enslavement, extermination, and extraction into a story of heritage under threat. From an African perspective, this was not a security address at all; it was a declaration that the West has learned nothing, regrets nothing, and intends to continue.
Rubio’s speech was constructed through erasure, deliberate, systematic, and strategic. African lives were erased as capital was accumulated. Indigenous peoples were erased as continents were settled. Asia’s famines, the Middle East’s ruins, and Latin America’s coerced obedience were written out of the civilizational narrative altogether. Civilization was presented as if it emerged organically from cathedrals, symphonies, and philosophy, rather than from slave ships, concentration camps, and gunboat diplomacy. This was not ignorance. It was intent. This erasure set the stage for what followed.
Europe’s Choice: Alignment or Irrelevance
The message to Europe was unmistakable. Fall back into formation or step aside. Align fully with an American-led project of renewed domination or accept strategic and moral irrelevance. The applause that followed was not merely approval of rhetoric; it was recognition of a shared past and a proposed future. Rubio offered Europe a familiar bargain: a return to the inner circle of power, shared access to resources, and renewed authority over the Global South. What he reignited was not confidence but appetite, an old hunger for control now repackaged in the language of security, supply chains, and civilizational survival.
What Rubio framed as partnership was, in substance, a call for collective complicity. Complicity in resource extraction dressed up as competition. Complicity in sanctions regimes that starve civilian populations while claiming moral virtue. Complicity in militarization that converts entire regions into permanent theatres of war. Complicity in the criminalisation of non-European movement while celebrating European migration as destiny. This logic depends on hierarchy.
Beneath the soaring rhetoric lay an unmistakable hierarchy: non-Europeans and non-Christians were not imagined as equal participants in humanity, but as problems to be managed, labour to be exploited, or threats to be neutralised. Africa appeared not as a continent of people, but as a quarry. The Global South was rendered not as a community of nations, but as a marketplace, a battleground, and a containment zone. This was not the language of peace or cooperation. It was the language of entitlement.

@Amie74152698@AsssabMedia Yes — a proud and disciplined elite. They stand tall, they never kneel, and they never beg. They owe nothing to anyone, and they carry themselves with the dignity of people who know exactly who they are.
@didyodo@AsssabMedia Who is Global Fire Power? why do trust this kind of institutions who do not have any reliable base. And, the Eritreans prefer to own air force rather than passenger plane. Sovereignty is priority. Yes that's OK if Eritrea is the last. But, it's free nation.
Eritrean Air Force stands among the strongest in the Horn of Africa, 2nd only to Egypt. In a short time, it has achieved remarkable transformation & growth. With high military experience, confidence, discipline, & unity,it continues to strengthen national defense & cooperation.
The world must witness these atrocities. The UAE’s hands are stained with blood for funding RSF training camps and fueling the destruction of Sudan.
The RSF must be designated as a terrorist organization, and the UAE must be held accountable for supporting terrorist militias. Stop the UAE! Stop the RSF!
Freezing arms sales is a necessary first step. Thanks @RepGregoryMeeks

2/External actors have been fueling Sudan’s war without consequence—and now the entire region is being pulled into the conflict. Congress can cut off that support, protect civilians & help Sudan achieve peace by passing @RepGregoryMeeks' Sudan bill today.

Despite billions in aid over decades, #Ethiopia's cycle of famine, war, and displacement persists, revealing a deeper structural failure that transcends leadership, with ordinary Ethiopians remaining trapped in unending hunger and instability.👇👉
