The US has finally removed the unilateral sanctions on Eritrea today.
Congratulations to the people and Government of #Eritrea for their steadfastness, resilience, and principled approach that made this development a reality.
The unilateral sanctions imposed on Eritrea by the Biden Administration in 2021 were unwarranted and caused undue damage on Eritrea. Now that they have been removed, we welcome this positive gesture and corrective measures taken by the Trump Administration.
Today’s move by the US should mark the beginning of a new chapter in the Eritrea-US relations, that we envision to be grounded in #sovereign respect, mutual interests, and the pursuit of a mutually beneficial #partnership. 🇪🇷🇺🇸
Potemkin Party (PP) senior officials seem to have contracted a severe case of historical amnesia.
In a bizarre and rather amusing announcement to the "House of Representatives" this week, the PP's leader stated that "he had scoured every archive in Addis Abeba - the Prime Minister's Office, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Cabinet minutes, and parliamentary records - yet found no official record or institutional decision how Ethiopia lost access to the Red Sea".
Hopefully, this debilitating disease is at its incipient or early phase.
* Indeed, only seven years ago, on 9 July 2018 and accompanied by senior officials of his regime including the then Foreign Minister and now Secretary General of IGAD, he had signed in Asmara the Joint Declaration of Peace and Friendship between Eritrea and Ethiopia. The kernel and cardinal content of this Agreement revolved on the "implementation of the Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission (EEBC) decision", which affirmed Eritrea's internationally recognized boundary for more than a century in accordance with the Treaties of 1900, 1902 and 1908.
* In another moment of truth in those times, Ethiopia's Army Chief of Staff confessed that "he and his colleagues were embarrassed in May 1998 when the incumbent government publicly accused Eritrea of aggression while it was the Ethiopian army which actually unleashed the war in the first place ". Today, he seems to be infected by this collective amnesia as he tries to justify his incessant saber-rattling and agenda of war on spurious pretexts in contravention of international law and Eritrea's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
*Similarly, another PP General, Bacha Debele, confessed, three years ago, about the disastrous defeat that the Ethiopian army contingent had suffered - in his graphic words "ተጨፈጨፍን/we were completely annihilated " - on the Bure Front when it attempted to occupy Assab in June 2000. Apparently infected by the same historical amnesia, this retired General has joined the chorus to clamour for another cycle of irredentist war of aggression against Eritrea in order to occupy Assab.
The incipient, even if already severe, disease of collective amnesia that has gripped the tight circle of senior Potemkin Party officials will need proper therapy: History 101. Link below is the Introductory Chapter I.
The whole syllabus will of course consist of: the denial of Eritrea's right to decolonization in the 1940s; annexation and the armed struggle; all the way back to medieval and ancient history with objective archeological findings and interpretations.
*Warning: the disease may be incurable if it is a pure case of deliberate deception and/or reflexive/pathological lying.

#Eri101: Eritrea’s statehood, sovereignty, and territorial integrity rest on solid ground:
■ foundation going as deep as the deepest end of the Red Sea;
■ standing as tall and proud as Mount Soira,
■ unshaken by the wind as Mount Denden.
President Isaias Afwerki and President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi Meet and Hold Talks
President Isaias Afwerki and President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi held extensive talks in Cairo today, in the early afternoon hours, on the further consolidation of bilateral ties between the two countries as well as on regional issues of mutual interest.
The two Heads of State underlined the historical ties between Eritrea and Egypt, assessed the status and progress of previous multi-layered agreements, and discussed ways and means of further strengthening bilateral cooperation and partnership in various sectors.
President Isaias and President el-Sisi also discussed in greater detail regional developments and trends, particularly the situations in Sudan and Somalia, and the security of the Red Sea.
The two leaders agreed to work vigorously and coordinate their efforts to promote their shared conviction on the inviolability of territorial integrity, as well as the stability and peace of the countries in the region.
President Isaias reiterated Eritrea’s firm solidarity with the people of Sudan in these trying times and its unwavering stance on Sudan’s territorial integrity. He further underlined that external intervention can only exacerbate the conflict without yielding positive results.
President el-Sisi, for his part, reaffirmed Egypt’s readiness to play its role in promoting peace and stability in Sudan, Somalia, and the Red Sea region. In this regard, he emphasized the imperative for all littoral states to marshal their resources and coordinate their efforts to ensure the peace and security of the Red Sea and to benefit from its resources.
The meeting was attended by Mr. Osman Saleh, Eritrea’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Dr. Badr Abdelatty, Egypt’s Minister of Foreign Affairs.
President Isaias Afwerki departed for Egypt in the mid-morning hours today for a five-day working visit at the invitation of President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. During the visit, President Isaias and his delegation will also participate in the inauguration of the new Egyptian Grand Museum on 1 November.
The Presidential delegation includes Foreign Minister Osman Saleh.
Upon arrival at Cairo International Airport, President Isaias Afwerki and his delegation were accorded a warm welcome.
🔥🇪🇷 Abiy’s Reckless War Drums — Eritrea’s Calm Strength Amid Global Silence 🇪🇹⚖️🌍
While the 🌍 world watches in silence, Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and his top generals are openly declaring war on sovereign Eritrea. Their words are dangerous — not just to Eritrea, but to the entire Horn of Africa.
⚠️ Abiy’s Latest Provocations:
🟥 Abiy’s Claim: “He is 1,000,000% certain Ethiopia will access the Red Sea whether others like it or not.”
➤ A dangerous delusion from a man whose army can’t defeat Fano or Shene.
🟧 Chief of Staff Jula: Brags that his army is ready to take Eritrea’s ports — a blatant violation of international law.
🟨 Navy Commander: Threatens to “join the party” — signalling coordinated war rhetoric.
🌍 Why the World Should Be Alarmed:
🟥 Ethiopia is collapsing within: Fano resistance bleeding the army; OLA Shene surging in Oromia; Tigray remains volatile.
🟧 Sudan: Engulfed in civil war & humanitarian catastrophe.
🟨 Somalia: Al-Shabaab resurging, destabilizing the Horn.
🟩 Red Sea: Houthis disrupting vital trade routes — regional tension at boiling point.
🔔 And yet — the UN and AU stay silent.
🇪🇷 What Eritrea Knows — and Why It Stands Ready:
🟦 Eritrea has long anticipated such reckless ambitions.
🟩 Eritreans are united, alert, and resolute — our sovereignty is sacred.
🟧 Eritrea’s response will be precise, powerful, and unpredictable.
🟥 Any miscalculation by Abiy will mark the end of his regime — not Eritrea’s independence.
💭 Wisdom Corner:
🕊️ “Those who stir war to escape failure often drown in their own fire.”
💪 “Eritrea doesn’t shout to prove its strength — it acts when it must.”
🧭 Final Word:
Eritrea stands for peace, sovereignty, and stability, but it will never kneel before threats.
The UN and AU must wake up before Abiy’s recklessness drags the region into chaos.
#Eritrea #RedSea #HornOfAfrica #AbiyAhmed #AU #UN #NoMoreWars #DefendSovereignty #PeaceThroughStrength #EritreaStrong 🇪🇷✊
Abiy Ahmed has developed a strange habit of ordering and dispatching unsolicited goods to #Eritrea — without any consultation or coordination with #Eritrean authorities.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, he famously sent a plane full of face masks to Eritrea out of the blue. No one in Eritrea had requested or even been informed about it. The response? The aircraft was promptly returned — and understandably, with bewilderment.
Now, in his latest parliamentary spectacle, Abiy revealed that he had once again ordered unwanted Generators to be sent to Eritrea, again without Eritrea’s knowledge or consent. And once more, the goods were sent straight back to where they came from.
One has to ask — what kind of leader takes it upon himself to place orders for another sovereign nation without consultation?
That’s not diplomacy. That’s delusion. A man clearly confused about the limits of his own job description.
✊🇪🇷 Eritrea Did NOT get its Independence from Ethiopia and It Was Never a Gift — It Was Our Right!
💡 “The right of self-determination of the Eritrean people is not predicated on the goodwill, authority, or permission of Ethiopia — or any other.” – President Isaias Afwerki to UN SG Boutros Boutros-Ghali 📜
📌 Core Messages from Eritrea’s Stand
🟥 Sovereignty is Absolute — Eritrea’s independence was decided by Eritreans alone, not by Ethiopia’s “permission.” 🇪🇷
🟥 UN’s Role was Observational — Eritrea welcomed UN participation, but legitimacy came only from its people.
🟥 Warning of Historical Mistake — Framing independence as Ethiopia’s allowance would only fuel future conflict. ⚠️
🟥 No to Expansionism — Eritrea rejected domination and warned the world against rewarding aggression.
🌍 Lessons for Today
✔️ Borders & sovereignty are sacrosanct — not bargaining chips.
✔️ Eritrea’s independence was earned through 30 years of sacrifice, not charity. 🩸
✔️ Respecting self-determination is the cornerstone of regional peace.
✔️ Forgetting history risks repeating the same bloody conflicts.
🕊️ Eritrea’s Timeless Stand
✔️ We abhor war, but we defend peace.
✔️ Independence was not given — it was earned with unity & blood.
✔️ Our sovereignty is non-negotiable — yesterday, today & forever. 🇪🇷
🌅 “Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. Eritrea warned in 1992 — the world must listen in 2025.”

#Eritrea: Statement by FM Osman Saleh at the LLDCs’ 24th Ministerial Meeting of Foreign Ministers; NY, 26 September 2025
"...We must underscore that we cannot expect effective transit systems to emerge where sovereignty is undermined or where legal commitments are not upheld. True collaboration begins not with threats but trust. Trust is built when nations honor each other’s independence, territorial integrity, and shared obligations".
"...In this regard, Eritrea wishes to reaffirm that it is a sovereign coastal state, and its ports are national assets. Any arrangements for their use, whether commercial or logistical, are matters to be negotiated directly and bilaterally between Eritrea and the partner of its choosing. ...International law, including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and customary norms, recognizes the principle of sovereign control over ports".
*"...Eritrea emphasizes that port access is a commercial matter rather than political or military issue. Eritrea remains open to commercial partnerships on fair and equal terms, and its ports continue to be available for legitimate trade".

#Eritrea's delegation, led by FM H.E. Osman Saleh participated at the 7th Ministerial Meeting of the Group of Friends in the Defence of the #UNCharter (#GoFUNCharter) held under the theme: “More Equitable World Order at 80: Realizing the Promise of the UN Charter for All Nations and Peoples”.
Minister #OsmanSaleh underlined that the Ministerial Meeting comes at a critical global transition period, in which the #world order is undergoing through transformative changes as the defunct unipolarity, unilateralism, and the so-called ‘rules-based-order’ have proved to be futile to address existing and emerging global crisis.
While urging for a more equitable world order after 80 years, he reminded that it is incumbent upon all Member States to uphold the sacred principles of sovereign equality, territorial integrity, political independence, non-interference in the domestic affairs, peaceful settlement of disputes, and prohibition of the threat or use of force. Minister Osman further underscored #Eritrea’s unequivocal rejection of any reckless attempts transgressing these principles in pursuit of perceived geopolitical interests as these will lead to unprecedented regional and international destabilization.

Eritrea Warns Against Manufactured Red Sea Crisis Amid Abiy Ahmed’s Escalating War Rhetoric
By Nardos Berhane
Eritrea has sharply condemned what it calls a “political frenzy” by Ethiopia’s ruling Prosperity Party (PP), accusing Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s government of deliberately manufacturing a regional crisis around access to the Red Sea....

Among Eritreans on social media, the most unusual posts, which other Africans may take it for granted, are those concerning rain. Why do we regard it with such seriousness?
This is why to mention the few reasons:
— In Eritrea, as much as 80 percent of the population is engaged in subsistence agriculture.
— In Eritrea, there are no year-round rivers, so we built over 800 dams of varying sizes throughout the country to store as much rain water as we can.
— We use the water stored in these dams for multiple purposes, including drinking (for humans and animals), as well as for small-scale irrigation farming and agro-industrial projects of various sizes.
— etc.
📜 Eritrea’s Independence Was Never a Gift — It Was a Right 🇪🇷✊
🇪🇷 Eritrea’s Independence Was Never Ethiopia’s “Permission” ✍🏾
On 22 September 1992, President Isaias Afwerki wrote to UN SG Boutros Boutros-Ghali, making history clear:
💡 “The right of self-determination of the Eritrean people is not predicated on the goodwill, authority, or permission of Ethiopia — or any other.”
📌 Core Messages from the Letter:
🟥 Eritrea’s Independence is Sovereign – It is the sole prerogative of the Eritrean people, not dependent on Ethiopia’s permission. 🇪🇷
🟥 UN’s Role is Observational – Eritrea welcomed the UN’s participation, but not as a grantor of legitimacy.
🟥 Warning Against Historical Mistake – Any attempt to frame Eritrea’s independence as Ethiopia’s “allowance” would plant seeds of future conflict & instability.
🟥 Rejection of Expansionism – Eritrea cautioned that forces bent on war & domination must not be allowed to exploit UN loopholes.
🌍 Lessons for Today:
✔️ Borders & sovereignty are sacrosanct — not bargaining chips.
✔️ Eritrea earned independence with blood, sacrifice & unity.
✔️ Respecting self-determination is the foundation of lasting peace.
⚠️ Those who forget this history risk repeating conflict. Eritrea’s message remains timeless:
🕊️ Eritrea’s Stand Then & Now:
✔️ We abhor war, but we defend peace.
✔️ Independence was not “given” — it was earned through 30 years of struggle.
✔️ The principle remains timeless: Our sovereignty is non-negotiable.

Must read article by Eritrean Views in FB “#Eritrea's strategic silence and commitment to diplomacy in the face of such provocations should not be mistaken for weakness. On the contrary, it is a sign of our leadership's maturity and its respect for international law. As President Isaias Afwerki has noted in his recent interviews in July 2025, Eritrea does not have an appetite for war. The nation's focus is on respecting international law and fostering regional stability. However, if provoked, Eritrea is more than capable of defending its sovereignty. #Ethiopia has much to learn from the sacrifices of the past and the lessons of the present.”
