During the 1960s, several prominent artists began using metaphor and allegory to convey their messages about Ethiopia's illegal annexation of Eritrea, an action that violated the United Nations-approved federal agreement. Key figures from this era included Tewelde Reda, whose popular song “Shigey habuni” (translated as "give me my torch," representing a call for independence) captured the sentiment of the time. Other noteworthy artists included Tiberh Tesfuhuney, whose work “Eti gezana abi hidmo” served as an allegorical critique of the invading Ethiopian forces; Alamin Abdelletif with his piece “TsebHi-tsom”; Dr Bereket Mengesteab, known for “Kikeyd demo”; Eng. Asgedom Woldemichael, who produced “Guma hamra lamey”; Yonus Ibrahim with “Asmera ketema”; Yemane Gebremicael, recognised for “Wedebat adey?”; and Osman Abdelrahirm, who created “Ab gezana zelekum.” In the early 1970s, more artists joined the movement, using coded messages to strengthen the public's political awareness. #DiscoverEritrea

President Xi Jinping stressed that the Palestinian question is the core of the Middle East issue, and efforts to resolve it should be guided by four principles.
1️⃣ We must uphold political settlement, adhere to the two-State solution as the right direction, work for the resumption of peace talks between Palestine and Israel, and realize the early establishment of an independent State of Palestine.
2️⃣ We must uphold the principle of Palestinians governing Palestine. Palestine is the homeland of all Palestinians. The principle of Palestinians governing Palestine should be followed in advancing the governance of the West Bank and postwar reconstruction of Gaza.
3️⃣ We must uphold humanitarianism. The international community, particularly the U.N. Security Council, should truly take up the responsibility to keep civilians safe, ensure the delivery of humanitarian assistance, and put an end to humanitarian disasters.
4️⃣ We must uphold fairness and justice. We should act on the basis of international rule of law, aim at addressing both the symptoms and root causes, and take practical actions to realize a comprehensive, just and lasting resolution of the Palestinian question at an early date.

The federal government of Ethiopia, led by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali, has committed war crimes and crimes against humanity amounting to genocide and continues its drone attacks against Tigrayan civilians. Local media, administrators, and eyewitnesses on the ground confirmed that today, August 24, 2026, regime drones, supported by UAE operators, attacked civilian neighborhoods in Southern and Northwestern Tigray. In addition to these continuous drone attacks, the regime has been amassing armies and large-scale armaments along the Tigray border, escalating the situation towards another round of brutal genocidal war.
