Elon Musk retweeted a post by an #African developmental activist stating despite #Ethiopia never being colonised, it has always been poor.

In fact it is worse than that, because of the myopic and expansionist #Ethiopian leaders, it has dragged all its neighbours into war and under development, and the current leader (Abiy Ahmed) is the worst example @magattew

[Eritrea at the UN @Eritrea_UN]

Today, at the 70th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women (#CSW70), H.E. Sophia Tesfamariam reaffirmed #Eritrea’s commitment to advancing gender equality, strengthening access to justice for women and girls, and protecting their dignity and rights.

@AmbStesfamariam further:
-underlined that marking 30 years since the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, #Eritrea highlighted progress through legal reforms ensuring equality before the law, expanded women’s rights to land and productive resources, and strengthened labour protections.

-highlighted the legal and institutional reforms implemented since independence, including the repeal of discriminatory colonial laws and the establishment of equality before the law as a national principle. These reforms strengthened women’s rights in family law, ensured equal access to land and productive resources, expanded labour protections, and enabled women to transmit nationality to their children.

-underscored Proclamation No. 158/2007 banning female genital mutilation, one of the earliest legislative bans in the region, as well as #Eritrea ’s community court system, where women increasingly serve as judges and leaders, strengthening grassroots access to justice.

-emphasized that peace, stability, and community participation remain essential foundations for achieving gender equality and sustainable development, while recognizing the historic role of #Eritrean women in the liberation struggle, where they served as fighters, educators, medics, and organizers, helping transform social norms and shape #Eritrea ’s nation-building process.

[Amb. Sophia Tesfamariam @AmbStesfamariam]

Welcomed my dear friend and colleague, H.E. Mr. David Bakradze, PR of Georgia, to @Eritrea_UN.

We exchanged views on developments in our respective regions, global dynamics, and expectations regarding the selection of the next Secretary-General. For small states such as #Eritrea and #Georgia, this process is of particular importance, as it will shape the tone and inclusivity of multilateral engagement in the years ahead.

#Sovereignty, #stability, and the integrity of multilateral engagement are under growing strain, principles that must be safeguarded collectively. Agreed that it was imperative that the selection process be transparent, inclusive, and reflective of the collective will of the wider @UN membership.

The next Secretary-General must embody impartiality, uphold the principles of the @UN Charter, and ensure that the @UN remains responsive, representative, and effective for all Member States, particularly those whose voices are often underrepresented.

We will work to further strengthen our bilateral relations and expand cooperation in multilateral fora, where we share common concerns and priorities across the broad range of issues addressed daily at @UN .

When Academic Analysis Excuses Aggression: Setting the Record Straight on Eritrea’s Sovereignty

The Embassy of the State of Eritrea categorically rejects the misleading, unbalanced, and politically loaded article published by The Conversation on 15 January 2026. The piece purports to warn against the danger of war in the Horn of Africa, yet paradoxically normalizes, obscures, and at times rationalizes the Ethiopian regime’s openly revisionist and aggressive rhetoric to advance its agenda of “sovereign access to the Red Sea” through coercion or force against Eritrea; a sovereign member of the United Nations and the African Union.

At its core, the article inverts responsibility and erodes legal clarity. International law is applied selectively; scrutinizing Eritrea while glossing over Ethiopia’s explicit illegal territorial claims. Africa’s binding principle of respect for colonial borders is conspicuously absent, and threats of force are downplayed when they emanate from Addis Ababa, despite their destabilizing implications. Equally misleading is the insinuation that Eritrea has “denied” Ethiopia normative access to the sea. Eritrea has never, at any point in its history, opposed or obstructed commercial access to the Red Sea through lawful bilateral arrangements. What it unequivocally rejects is the conflation of commercial access with sovereignty or ownership. Such asymmetry does not warn against war; it sanitizes the logic of territorial revisionism and risks legitimizing aggression long rejected by Africa and the international community.

Ethiopia’s claims are illegal, revisionist, and dangerous. Its leadership has publicly framed access to Eritrean ports as an “existential” matter and a “historical correction.” This rhetoric is not benign. It constitutes a direct challenge to the foundational principles of the international order, including the inviolability of borders, territorial integrity, and the sovereign equality of states, as enshrined in the UN Charter and reaffirmed by the 1964 OAU Cairo Resolution, which binds African states to respect colonial boundaries. No state, large or small, landlocked or coastal, possesses a sovereign right to another country’s territory or ports. Access to the sea is governed by international law, commercial agreements, and peaceful cooperation, not nostalgia, threats, or force.

Eritrea’s position on this matter is principled, defensive, measured, lawful, and consistent. Characterizing Eritrea’s clear warnings against irredentism as “snapping back” trivializes the gravity of a presumed “existential threat” that is openly articulated by a neighboring Head of Government. Eritrea is not threatening war; it is asserting a universally recognized legal principle: its territory is not negotiable. Any attempt to seize Eritrean land or ports by force would constitute aggression under international law, with grave consequences.

The article’s selective outrage and analytical imbalance are troubling. While purporting to analyze regional peace, it devotes disproportionate space to ideological attacks on Eritrea’s internal governance; recycling familiar and fallacious narratives. This imbalance undermines the author’s stated premise and reduces the piece to political commentary rather than serious analysis. One cannot credibly warn of war while normalizing the language and logic that make war more likely.

Although the article acknowledges Eritrea’s forced federation and illegal annexation by Ethiopia, it then distorts history by inverting causality and suggesting that Eritrea’s defensive policies are the root cause of regional tension. This is historically inaccurate. Eritrea’s national service, security posture, and emphasis on self-reliance emerged in response to decades of aggression, invasion, sanctions, and externally sponsored destabilization, including Ethiopia’s prolonged refusal to implement the binding Eritrea Ethiopia Boundary Commission (EEBC) ruling. Peace has been undermined not by Eritrea’s defense of its sovereignty, but by repeated attempts by successive Ethiopian regimes to redraw borders through force or coercive rhetoric and acts.

The true threat to regional stability is the erosion of hard-won African norms against territorial revisionism. If fabricated claims framed as “historical mistakes” are allowed to justify pressure on neighbors, no African border is safe. The Horn of Africa does not need duplicitous and shallow lectures that caricature one State while rationalizing acts of belligerence of others. The norms for regional stability revolve around strict adherence to international law, restraint in political speech, and respect for sovereignty.

In conclusion, Eritrea seeks peace, cooperation, and mutually beneficial regional relations, including commercial access arrangements governed by law. What it will never accept is the legitimization of threats to its territory or the intellectual laundering of aggression through selective analysis. The Conversation’s article fails its own test: by ignoring the legal and normative implications of Ethiopia’s rhetoric while maligning Eritrea for defending its sovereignty, it contributes not to understanding, but to confusion and escalation.

In this occasion, the Embassy of the State of Eritrea to the United States urges responsible media, scholars, and institutions to uphold the principles they claim to defend: truth, balance, and respect for international law.

What is the problem with these Potemkin Party charlatans? How can one explain their delusional infatuation with Assab and Eritrea's sovereign coastal areas?

A couple of years ago, the President of the Oromia Region claimed that "Ereccha" will be celebrated on "the shores of the Red Sea" next year! Few days ago, some Army Generals unfurled an outrageous map that incorporates Eritrea's southern coastline! And now, this notorious member of Parliament and rabid advocate of domination pledges that "Christmas" will be celebrated in Assab next year!

Perhaps these political novices are bewitched by their new-found positions of authority: "ሜስ'ሲ ንዘይፈልጦ የጥርጦ"፥ ከም ዝበሃል።

The more apt explanation is the very substance and moral ethos of the Potemkin Party.

And in this respect, the Algebraic Formula needs updating:
Prosperity Party (aka Potemkin Party) signature media trademark is better encapsulated in the following algebraic equation; PP propaganda = Optics + Posturing + Deception + Disinformation + Delusion; (the five variables have different weights depending on the event/intended objective).

Eritrea’s Independence and the Cost of Refusing Subordination: An Integrated Analysis

In the contemporary international system, sovereignty is praised in theory but rationed in practice. States are declared independent, yet expected to exercise that independence only within boundaries quietly set by external power. Eritrea’s post-1993 experience exposes this contradiction with unusual clarity. After winning independence through one of Africa’s longest and most disciplined liberation struggles, Eritrea entered the international arena not as a supplicant but as a state determined to govern itself on its own terms. What followed was not accommodation, but estrangement.

Good Read - Building resilience: #Eritrea’s climate actions; by Bana Negusse

*....Eritrea has been making significant investments in climate change mitigation, adaptation, risk reduction, and disaster rehabilitation. The country has ratified several international climate agreements, including the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol in 2023, committing to gradually reduce the use of global-warming hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). Eritrea has also drafted its third Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), demonstrating its ongoing commitment to climate action. The NDC includes a robust conditional target, representing the country’s highest ambition: using its own resources, Eritrea has committed to an 8.6% reduction below business-as-usual, and with adequate international support, it estimates it could achieve a 24.4% reduction by 2030, bending its emissions curve downward to below 2018 levels".

Guest Column - Lies, Calumny, and Obscurantism: Potemkin Party’s Modus Operandi Cannot Change the Immutable; by Yonas Araadom

*"...Invoking connections with a distant past in an attempt to legitimize the quest for sovereign sea access runs counter to historical reality. While it is hardly necessary to delve into the ancient and medieval history of the Horn of Africa and Northern Africa, it is worth noting that various civilizations arose at different times, sharing neither historical, political, nor geographical continuity. These include the Land of Punt (c. 2500–980 BCE); the Adulite Civilization, which flourished mainly in the Eritrean coastal lands and both predated and coexisted with the Axumite Empire (1st century BCE–8th century CE); and the Axumite Empire itself (1st century CE–740 CE). In addition, various fiefdoms with disparate centers of power and limited territorial reach emerged across disconnected regions".

*..."Conjuring up the debunked fabricated myths of continuum and congruence to justify encroachment upon or invasion of a sovereign neighboring country constitutes a grave and unequivocal violation of international law, the UN Charter, and the Constitutive Act of the African Union. In reality, Ethiopia’s political presence in Eritrea’s coastal lands was limited to the bogus Federation and subsequent Annexation periods, spanning from 1952 to 1991".

*"...The Potemkin Party’s recurring claim that its loss of sea access resulted from 'agreements' or 'political mismanagement' is nothing more than a denial of reality. It epitomizes a dogged refusal to acknowledge the forcible eviction of Ethiopian occupation after three decades of a costly war, with deleterious consequences to the peoples of Eritrea and Ethiopia. In the event, PP’s officials are desperately clinging to myths, excuses, and historical revisionism to conceal their irredentist ambitions".
