Profile Q & A - Hajayat Mendal: A Cultural Powerhouse and Inspiration for the Next Generation; by Milka Teklom
*"...I was reassigned to the EPLF’s Arts and Crafts Department, working with pottery, weaving, and traditional quilting. Those early years taught me radical discipline and resourcefulness. We quickly understood that we were not just fighting a war with conventional weapons; we were defending our right to exist through culture, art, and the unyielding spirit of our people. When I was eventually transferred to the performing arts department, my journey as a singer, songwriter, and dancer truly blossomed".
*"...I realized that art could be a potent weapon - a shield of hope and unity. It was both incredibly challenging and deeply liberating. On the battlefield, you carry the heavy, literal weight of survival from one moment to the next. On the stage, you carry the weight of representation. I felt a profound responsibility to give an authentic voice to the complex emotions of our people and my fellow Tegadelti (freedom fighters). Singing and dancing became our mechanism to heal, to celebrate, and to remind ourselves exactly what we were risking our lives for. Every performance was a fierce declaration to the enemy: we are alive, we are proud, and we will endure".
*"...My message is simple and uncompromising: be deeply proud of your country, protect your national sovereignty, and never allow our multi-cultural values and traditions to fade. Our heritage is our ultimate shield. In a rapidly changing, globalized world, it is incredibly easy to lose your footing and forget who you are. But if you hold fast to your traditions, you can never be lost".
The Eritrean Festival in Milano, Italy, was officially opened today, Saturday, June 27, 2026, by Eritrea’s Ambassador to Italy, Dr. Fisehatsion Petros.

Good Read - The Mesob: Testament to the Artistry, Unity, and Grace of Eritrean Women; by Kidane Shimendi
*"...the Mesob anchors the time-honored cultural practice of communal dining; a tradition through which generations of Eritreans have fostered mutual respect, deep affection, and unbreakable social bonds. This practice of eating together from a single, shared platter is vibrant and alive across all nine of Eritrea’s ethnic groups, each possessing its own beautiful term for this focal point of hospitality: Tigrinya: Meadi (መኣዲ), Tigre: Metaagal, Saho: Maddi, Bilen: Meddira or Gbar, Kunama: Gonta or Nada Gonta, Nara: Gaan, Bidawyet (Hadendowa): Tooda, Afar: Galadda, Rashaida (Arabic): Maida".
*"...The Mesob is far more than a woven basket; it is a monument to the spirit of Eritrea. Through its captivating geometry, its rich national colors, and the nourishing meals served from its crown, it reflects the generosity, intellect, and love of the women who craft it. It is a magnificent testament to a national heritage engraved with beauty. Let us all honor, celebrate, and preserve the brilliant artistic legacy of Eritrea’s women".

AlJazeera - Ethiopia is not being ‘dragged into war';
by Mr. Ali Ibrahim Ahmed, #Eritrea's Ambassador to Qatar
*"... The recent opinion article by senior Ethiopian officials Redwan Hussein and Getachew Reda, published on Al Jazeera English’s website, attempts to portray Ethiopia as an innocent victim being reluctantly 'dragged' into conflict by external actors. In doing so, the piece seeks to absolve the ruling Prosperity Party of responsibility for Ethiopia’s mounting domestic crises".
*"...More dangerously, this narrative serves as a diplomatic smoke screen designed to normalize the unprovoked hostility, state-sponsored inflammatory rhetoric and aggressive military mobilizations that the Ethiopian government has directed towards Eritrea since late 2023".
*"...This coordinated campaign seeks to normalize the idea that colonial boundaries in the Horn of Africa are negotiable in order to attempt to challenge inviolable principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity that have long underpinned regional stability".
*"...The broader pattern extends beyond Eritrea. Ethiopia’s recent foreign policy conduct has increasingly generated tensions with several neighboring states. The Memorandum of Understanding signed with Somaliland, which sought access to coastal territory without the consent of Somalia’s central government, triggered a major diplomatic crisis and raised serious questions regarding respect for established principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity".
*"...Similarly, Ethiopia has repeatedly pursued interventionist policies in neighboring conflicts in the quest for short-term geopolitical objectives. Whether in Somalia, Sudan or elsewhere, Addis Ababa’s reckless regional agenda of expansionism has contributed significantly to regional mistrust and destabilization".
