@mehdirhasan In a political system where corporate interests outweigh social needs &access to education & safety nets fail to keep pace with economic &cultural change. That creates fertile ground for clowns/ worse, to exploit societal grievances by promising to fix z very problems they deepen
Yet some people remain trapped in the noise, consumed by who to blame for the latest fire, while forgetting to ask who spent decades pouring the fuel, destroying the foundations of their nation, and robbing generations of their future. That, to me, is the real tragedy.
1/3
One headline says #Eritrea started it; another says #Ethiopia or tplf did. People get offended over who blames whom, as if that settles anything. After yrs of pouring gasoline from every direction, arguing over who struck the match misses the bigger picture.
2/3
For #Eritreans, the tragedy goes beyond vulnerability or who started this fire. It is what a barbaric, criminal regime has done over generations: destroying lives, society, dignity & the nation's future, leaving wounds that may never heal and generations of lost potential.
Women from Eritrea in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 demonstrate for justice at the Court where Walid stands for trial. They show us videos of young relatives being tortured in Libya by Eritrean traffickers at this time.
How tragic!
A man with a power to reshape the world now swims in the deepest sewage of fear & ignorant racial resentment.
A total decay is, to 've every resource for greater vision &yet choose hate
The tragedy isn’t his fall. It’s what humanity loses when greatness turns small
Elon Musk: "These lovely small towns in England, Scotland, Ireland, are living their lives quietly [Like The Hobbits in The Shire] — until one day, a thousand people show up in your village of 500 out of nowhere and start r*ping the kids."
So we’r told again, #Africa must transform its resources & fix its energy gap.
Sure. But maybe 1st ask why a resource super rich continent still can’t?
Until we face the political decay & leadership rot beneath the surface, these expensive summits are like a repeating boring song
For Africa to move from dependence to dominance, it must transform its own resources into value.
At the III Financing Summit for Africa’s Infrastructure Development, Samaila Zubairu, Chairperson of the Alliance of African Multilateral Financial Institutions and CEO of the Africa Finance Corporation, called for industrial transformation to turn Africa’s raw materials into locally produced goods and sustainable jobs.

Sudan is facing the world’s worst humanitarian crisis and a genocide. Tens of thousands dead. 12 million displaced.
The images of the RSF seizing El Fasher are horrific.
The UAE and other arms dealers to the RSF and RSF-aligned militias must be held accountable.
Execution preparations underway in Al-Fashir, Sudan by UAE-backed RSF mercenaries under the silent gaze of the international community. The world cannot claim ignorance. Global shame!
🚨 This photo best exemplifies the horror UAE-backed RSF militias are inflicting on the Sudanese people, today.
Footage emerging from the city of Al Fashir surely ranks amongst the worst examples of human rights abuses I have witnessed in my nearly two decades covering war crimes and atrocities for international media outlets.
Women and children rounded up and raped in front of their husbands, fathers and brothers, before being shot or hacked to death and tossed into mass graves.
More than 2,000 Sudanese civilians have been killed this way during the past week alone.
They are being murdered by UAE-backed forces and UK-sold weapons. This is a proxy war to seize control of the African country’s land and resources.
Yet the world is silent!
Haunting irony; a regime that crushed its own nation now preaches justice for colonial harm, while inflicting wounds far deeper than any colonizer could've imagined.
If justice still has meaning, a time will come when every architect & enabler of this barbarity is held to account
Today at the #UNGA, #Eritrea addressed the Legal Committee: State responsibility must address internationally wrongful acts with a reparative framework, one that dismantles the economic, political, and epistemic systems of colonialism which still cause harm today! 🇪🇷
@nssfug Africa’s challenge isn’t the lack of funds; it’s the lack of clean hands to manage them.
The real transformation will only begin when we build systems strong enough to check both governance and power; systems worthy of trust.
They called the casket No.92, unidentifed #Eritrea/n child among hundreds of Eritrean refugees drowned at sea 12 yrs ago today. The tragedy shook z whole region. While Italians declared a day of mourning, PFDJ dismissed them as “African immigrants,” Never forget this! #Lampedusa
Today we remember the dark day, #Lampedusa tragedy 2013.
368 #Eritrean/s perished at sea seeking dignity.
Their blood lies not on the waves, but on the hands of the regime that exiled them & the enablers who sustain it.
Every life lost is a debt history will never forget.
Oct 3rd we remember victims of #Lampedusa hundreds of #Eritrean lives lost at Mediterranean sea in search of freedom so many families torn apart countless others still risking their lives. Justice for Eritreans means ending dictatorship that drives this exile. #RegimeChangelnEritrea @asmarino80@Mercy4ALL82
@AfricaFirsts Maybe Ethiopia should solve its nonstop internal conflicts before mixing half-country armed conflict chaos with nuclear reactors ; what could possibly go wrong?
Heartbreaking 💔
2 #Ugandan girls trafficked & murdered in Dubai. Plenty of evidence, yet z criminal ring walks free; no effort to investigate, esp. in #Dubai.
This is another painful reminder of how African states fail their ppl, pushing them into desperation &indignity abroad
When a young Ugandan woman's death from a high-rise in Dubai goes viral, she becomes the face of the disturbing online trend #DubaiPortaPotty...but nothing is as it seems.
#BBCAfricaEye investigates.
