Good Read: Advancing Food Security and Agricultural Development in #Eritrea; by Bana Negusse
*Eritrea launched the Minimum Integrated Household Agricultural Package (MIHAP) in 2013, demonstrating its commitment to inclusion & sustainabe improvement in productivity at the micro level. Under this initiative, each rural household receives a comprehensive package that includes: one improved dairy cow or 12 goats, 25 chickens, two beehives, 20 trees (fruit, leguminous, and firewood varieties), a vegetable garden, crop land, and access to modern agricultural inputs and training. Thousands of households – and many headed by women – have benefited from this support package, leading to improved food and nutrition security, reduced poverty, and enhanced self-sufficiency.
*In recent years, Eritrea has also developed plans, even if still on a small scale, to promote urban and peri-urban agriculture through innovative methods such as vertical farming, rooftop gardening, hydroponics, and aquaponics. These integrated systems aim to diversify diets and improve nutrition by combining nutrient-dense crops with short cycle livestock like chickens, rabbits, and pigs.

Recycling of mendacious narratives aimed at demonizing Eritrea to justify ulterior motives remains, sadly, the new vogue among newly-minted and hired "geopolitical analysts" in Ethiopia.

Statement by Amb. Sophia Tesfamariam at the Special Event Convened by the Group of Friends of the UN Charter in Commemoration of the "International Day for Multilateralism and Diplomacy for Peace "; New York , 21 April 2025
*"...Yet, today, multilateralism is under serious threat. The growing tendency to bypass or undermine the multilateral system through unilateralism, politicization, coercive practices, and sanctions has eroded trust among nations. These actions not only diminish the relevance of multilateral diplomacy but also encroach upon the sovereign rights of states, particularly those of developing countries in the Global South".
*"...Despite these challenges, Eritrea remains a firm believer in principled multilateralism—one that is inclusive, representative, and rooted in mutual respect and sovereign equality of all nations. It’s active participation in multilateral platforms is a testament to its constructive engagement and its commitment to promoting the well-being of communities globally.
It is constructively engaged in fostering peace and stability in Sudan, South Sudan, and Somalia—nations that continue to face complex challenges. Our efforts are grounded on the belief that regional solutions, anchored in mutual respect and national ownerships, are essential for achieving lasting peace and stability. Such approach prioritizes genuine dialogue, non-interference, and solidarity among neighboring states, recognizing that sustainable peace must be driven by the people and leadership of the region themselves".
*"...Multilateralism must evolve to reflect today’s multipolar realities. It must center the voices of developing nations and prioritize their aspirations. We cannot speak of ‘diplomacy and peace’ while tolerating double standards, selective accountability, and the continued marginalization of Africa and other regions.

President Isaias Afwerki has sent a message of heartfelt condolences to the Vatican, on behalf of the people and Government of the State of Eritrea and on his own behalf, on the sad news of the passing away of His Holiness Pope Francis.
In his message to His Eminence Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Secretary of the State of the Holy See, President Isaias Afwerki paid tribute to Pope Francis "whose distinguished life was dedicated to the service of humanity and especially to advance the cause of social justice for marginalized segments of our global society".
President Isaias further expressed his condolences, on this sad occasion, to His Eminence Cardinal Pietro Parolin, and through him, to all the Cardinals, the clergy and all faithful members of the Roman Catholic Church around the world.
The extreme hysteria and commotion - bordering on lunacy - that continues to literally dominate and suffocate political discourse among self-styled activists/Eritrea-detractors in Ethiopia is mindboggling.
Their singular obession and infatuation remains gobbling up Eritrea's sovereign ports and coastal lands by any conceivable means.
To this end, their consensual modus operandi revolves on churning out outragious lies on Eritrea on a daily basis; wholesale assaults on its history, culture, development agendas, regional policy etc. Myopic mindset is diversionary on the one hand but also part and parcel of a toxic agenda of regional destabilization.

RIP!
😔💔It's with a heavy heart that shares the devastating news of the passing of Paulos Dawit, the young child who had been missing for almost three weeks in 🇩🇪 . The search efforts have come to a tragic end, and our thoughts and prayers are with the family and loved ones🕊️.
He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God,stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. (Isaiah 53: 3-5) #JesusIsRisen
Isaias Afewerki: Built Different. Born to Lead.
You don’t have to like him. You don’t even have to understand him. But one thing is certain—Isaias Afewerki is not your average leader.
He doesn’t chase headlines. He doesn’t beg for validation. He moves with vision, leads with discipline, and acts with purpose. While the world flips for trends and applause, he stays focused on legacy—building a nation that stands tall on its own feet.
For over three decades, he’s carried Eritrea not through promises, but through action. No shortcuts. No sellouts. Just persistence, strategy, and unshakable pride.
He’s not in it for fame. He’s not in it for fortune. He’s in it for Eritrea.
Call him what you want—but to those who know, he’s the master of masters.
And if you’re not happy with that… you’re clueless. Period.

Excellent Read: #Eritrea: The Great Lent - A time of Profound Introspection and Spiritual Discipline; by Shigey Abraha
A captivating article on Eritrea's rich religious harmony and cultural heritage, within the Abrahamic faiths, seamlessly enmeshed in centuries-old rituals and pious practices:
"... This year, Lent began in February, with Easter Sunday, or Resurrection Sunday, falling on April 20th. The preceding months saw believers dedicating themselves to fasting, personal and communal prayer, confession, self-reflection, and mutual support. Sunday, April 13th, a national holiday, commemorated Hosanna Palm Sunday, marking Christ’s entry into Jerusalem. Churches distributed palm branches, which were intricately woven into crucifixes, decorative rings, and other ornaments. Crafting these palm leaves, particularly the pyramid-shaped rings known as “Shbo” in Tigrinya, has become an integral part of Eritrean culture. Though rooted in spiritual practice, these rings are often worn for their aesthetic appeal, even by non-Christians, as a unique annual tradition".

The mantra: "African solutions to African problems" remains robust in substance, bold in strategic vision and crucial in promoting enduring solutions to African problems without forefeiting and subordinating African interests to "overriding" external interests and diktat. But this remains, todate, largley a mere aspiration and wish list.
