Good Read - Eid al-Adha and Religious Celebrations in #Eritrea: A Testament to Unity in Diversity; by Said Suleman
*Eid al-Adha, also known as the “Festival of Sacrifice,” is one of the most important holidays in the Islamic calendar. It commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son in obedience to Allah’s command. In Eritrea, Eid al-Adha is celebrated with great fervor and a profound sense of communal spirit.
* In a more broader context, religious celebrations in Eritrea transcend mere observance; they embody the nation’s commitment to inclusivity and mutual respect. Despite differences in faith, Eritreans celebrate their religious festivals with shared joy and understanding. This inclusive approach is deeply ingrained in the national consciousness and is evident in various aspects of life.
*Indeed, interfaith harmony is a distinguishing characteristic of Eritrean society. During major religious festivals, it is common for people of different faiths to extend heartfelt greetings and participate in each other’s celebrations. This mutual respect fosters a profound sense of solidarity and strengthens communal ties across religious lines.

Had fruitful discussions today with Regional Director of United Nations Information Service (UNIS), Ms. Sandra Macharia, and UN Resident Coordinator Ms. Nahla Valji, on the challenges of shiting the entrenched and negative narrative on Eritrea; starkly at variance, as it is, with the reality in the country.
Underlined that this has nothing to do with paucity of information but largely stems from geopolitical agenda of Washington and its European allies to bolster and rationalize illicit unilateral sanctions and other tools of unwarranted harrassment against Eritrea.

Karikare is every #Eritrean hero brother Ali, may his soul rest in peace, and our condolences to you and your beloved family.

Anyone consuming the daily, hourly mass-media & social-media information/dis-information grind must be conscious about the mind control tools of "Agenda-Setting, Framing and Priming" used in media. Otherwise we are leasing our mind to powerful interest groups. #Eritrea#Ethiopia
Contemporary “Age of Information” contains heavy dose of “disinformation” too within its belly. As it happens, even blatant & reckless revisions of history or breach of international law are packaged as palpable or far-sighted “win-win” solutions by vested-interest gps/lobbyists
NOT BREAKING NEWS AT ALL: history taught to children on schools of 50th & 60th Ethiopia stressed:
“Ownership of #Ethiopia land extends from Yemen - across Eastern Africa - to Madagascar”. This concept was submitted to Berlin Conference in 1844. エリトリア エチオピア #Eritrea
Two years ago, Abiy Ahmed Ali @AbiyAhmedAli said to his parliament "#Ethiopia's history will never forget its indebtedness to the people & government of #Eritrea. We will never deny or forget what Eritrea did for Ethiopia in our hour-of-need and when everybody abandoned Ethiopia"

President Isaias Afwerki and his delegation visited a wind farm site in Kenya today. Earlier in the day, the two Heads of State and Government planted seedlings at State House as an emblem of Eritrea-Kenya ties of friendship and cooperation.
The extent of banal/Revisionist Narratives that this small, venal, group of hired TPLF lobbyists (Dewaal, Nagy et al.)continue to peddle is amazing. Worst part is their silly presumption that the HOA is their exclusive domain or vassal fiefdom. Move on guys; times have changed!
Mr. Muraledharan stated for his part that the meeting will add impetus to the long-standing ties of friendship & cooperation between the two countries. Both sides agreed that priority areas of mutual cooperation will include sectors of education, health, energy & agriculture.
