Apologies for posting a wrong photo of Idga Ikli that I posted in the tweet above. I simply reproduced the photo from the original article below on Eritrea Profile of Saturday, May 7. It did not, otherwise, represent intentional foul play as some feckless trolls/detractors tried to misconstrue. Indeed, plagiarism and photoshopping are alien to our ethical standards... Eritrea Profile has now edited the electronic version with one of authentic photos below.
For some political groups in Ethiopia these days, their perilous obsession continues to revolve around futile packaging - sometimes too crass and couched in aggressive sabre-rattling; at other times advocated with seemingly historical/legal sophistry - to rationalize the toxic agenda of coveting and grabbing the sovereign territory of a neighbouring nation.
Let us stress, for the umpteenth time, that this is a political blashphemy of the highest order, and a red line that should not never be contemplated or crossed.

Foreign Minister Osman Saleh gave a briefing this morning, at the Foreign Ministry HQ in Asmara, to Resident Ambassadors/Members of the Diplomatic Corps and Heads of UN Agencies accredited to the country, on false accusations regarding: i) Eritrea's presumptive preparations for war against Ethiopia; ii) the Pretoria Agreement; and, iii) Ethiopia's obsession for an outlet to the sea and subsequent diplomatic campaigns and attendant sabre-rattling.
In his extensive briefing, FM Osman underlined:
* The EDF has been redeployed to Eritrea's internationally recognized borders right after the end of the conflict in November 2022. "Anyone that claims or suggests that the EDF are still in Ethiopian territory is doing so to scapegoat Eritrea for Ethiopia's internal problems".
* These accusations are peddled by former TPLF members who had rejected from the outset, and continue to reject, the final and binding Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission (EEBC) decision, and who had worked for regime change in Eritrea "to no avail".
* The GOE views the Pretoria Agreement as an internal affair of Ethiopia and has no desire to intervene in that process.
*The GOE has no role whatsoever in the ongoing internal conflict between the Interim Tigray Administration and the TPLF; it categorically rejects any accusations or allegations that insinuate otherwise.
* Eritrea is perplexed by Ethiopia's miguided and outdated ambitions for maritime access and naval base "through diplomacy or military force". In this respect, Eritrea urges the international community and its relevant bodies to put pressure on Ethiopia to respect the sovereignity and territorial integrity of its neighbours.

I can neither fathom nor can ever understand the purpose of #Eritrea’ns responding to this PP cadres? Can anyone assist me to understand the purpose of responding to them & going into trivial discussions? Wouldn’t be an easy choice to block this particular person & the likes of him & focus on issues relevant to our region?
