Lifting Sanctions on Eritrea Is Long Overdue—But So Is Honest Reporting
After years of unilateral, unjustified measures that punished ordinary Eritreans and achieved little, reports of the Trump administration reconsidering this flawed policy are welcome. It’s not a concession — it’s a correction. Time for engagement over isolation, and for media to move beyond recycled narratives.

1993 Eritrean independence referendum 🇪🇷
On the basis of the reports and observations of UNOVER and international observers, on 27 April 1993, the UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative officially announced that “On the whole, the referendum process in Eritrea can be considered to have been free and fair at every stage, and that it has been conducted to my satisfaction”. Speaking that same day, with the provisional results being shared, Isaias Afwerki, then the Secretary-General of the Eritrean People’s Liberation Front (EPLF) and the PGE, expressed that the referendum was “a delightful and sacrosanct historical conclusion to the choice of the Eritrean people,” and proudly announced that “Eritrea is a sovereign country as of today.”

#Eritrea: Statement by Ambassador Beyene Russom at 7th Session of the UN Environment Assembly; Nairobi, 11 December 2025
*"...Eritrea continues to combat environmental degradation through domestic capacities and community-driven action. One of our most transformative national undertakings has been the construction of hundreds of dams across the country; efforts that have strengthened drought resilience, expanded irrigated agriculture, and secured drinking water for rural communities".
*"...Eritrea is further accelerating investments in solar, wind, and geothermal energy. However, for many least developed countries, the renewable-energy transition requires substantial upfront capital and technical expertise. We therefore reiterate the urgent need for accessible, predictable, and timely climate finance delivered without burdensome bureaucratic conditions".
