Sputnik Africa Interview with President Isaias Afwerki
"Respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity are foundational pillars of international law and the global order (past or future)... these are the basis of bilateral and multilateral ties... Partnership cannot conceivably be nurtured when these fundamentals are violated and infringed upon. SOVEREIGNITY IS THE NAME OF THE GAME!"
๐งญ Engineered Aggression: Deconstructing Addis Ababaโs "Sea Access" Pretext ๐ช๐ท ๐ช๐น
Understanding how the Horn of Africa reached this flashpoint requires stripping away the propaganda and examining the strategic timeline [00:20]:
๐ Key Strategic Points
๐ด Trade vs. Sovereign Encroachment: Seeking commercial port access is normal for landlocked nations; demanding sovereign ownership over another state's coastline violates international law [01:43, 02:08].
๐ก Targeting Eritrea: Since late 2023, Addis Ababa's rhetoric was engineered specifically against sovereign Eritrean ports and borders [00:20, 02:24].
๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ Deflecting Multi-Front Collapse: Facing armed resistance across Amhara, Tigray, and Oromia, the regime is using external escalation to distract from domestic failure [03:48, 04:00].
๐ข A Fabricated Scapegoat: The conflict inside Ethiopia is home-grown; blaming external actors is a bid to internationalize internal collapse [03:54].
"Sovereignty is absolute. Domestic crises cannot be resolved by violating international borders."

Let us not mince our words and call a Spade a Spade!
1. The Potemkin Party has been obsessed/immersed in unparalleled military expenditure spree in the last three years.
2. In the last three quarters of 2026 alone, the regime has received 365 UAE Cargo/military deliveries for use in its multiple domestic conflicts and concomitant acts/designs of regional destablization.
3. At the same time, the regime has received - and these are conservative estimates - over 30 billion US Dollars in cumulative external financial assistance in the last eight years from several multilateral and bilateral donors.
4. And yet, almost 21.4 million people all over the country remain in dire conditions whose survival depends on humanitarian assistance.
In a nutshell, the priorities of this callous regime are crystal clear; reckless wars of delusional "grandeur" in lieu of the welfare of the majority of its people and enduring regional peace and stability.

Acts of violence & hooliganism of this magnitude cannot be tolerated by any standards. Whole gamut of legal/diplomatic measures to indict the culprits and their sponsors are in the offing

UNHRC has passed another pathetic resolution against Eritrea. But this time round, ploy has been exposed to its bare bones: no African sponsor; strong opposition from many member States, & acute recognition that duplicitous act is EU/US tool of harassment for geopolitical ends
President Isaias Afwerki received at Denden Guest House this morning credentials of Resident Ambassadors of China, Italy, France & UN Resident Coordinator to Eritrea. Enhancement of Bilateral cooperation and other timely matters of mutual importance were discussed in the meetings
President Isaias Afwerki met this morning #Eritrea's 2020 Tokyo Olympics Team to convey his best wishes for success in the forthcoming competitions. Eritrea is fielding 13 athletes (five of them female) in athletics, swimming and cycling at the Tokyo Olympics.
TPLF is on a rampage of revenge killings & wanton massacre of civilians, including in "refugee" camps. Yet, these atrocities & all TPLF illicit acts continue to be grossly shunned by the politicized UN agencies (OCCHA, UNHCR etc.), certain governments & affiliated media outlets
Human trafficking remains a global scourge that requires international concerted & deterrent measures. In the case of Eritrea especially, purveyors of this abominable crime have been & remain conglomerate of forces who harbour a sinister political agenda against the country.
A book published in 2003 by Robert D Kaplan with fascinating title.... he notes President Isaias Afwerki may be the most intellectually interesting politician in the history of postcolonial Africa. Text included ... #EritreaPrevails

#Eritrea's Mission to the UN: PRESS STATEMENT
"UN Chief of OCHA continues to be deeply embroiled in subtle political advocacy campaign in support of defunct TPLF group. This conduct is incompatible with his mandate/status as international Civil Servant"
