The greatest tragedy is that it is the peoples of the #Horn of #Africa who continue to bear the heaviest burden of policies that undermine #peace and #security. Every act of brinkmanship, inflammatory rhetoric, and disregard for the #sovereignty and territorial integrity of states diverts scarce resources from development, weakens regional trust, discourages investment, and prolongs uncertainty for millions.
PP, that turns violence against its own people, can hardly inspire confidence that it will live in peace with its neighbors. Leadership that normalizes coercion, repression, and confrontation at home inevitably erodes trust abroad and fuels regional instability.
Equally regrettable is that those with the influence to help reverse this dangerous trajectory too often choose to look the other way. By extending diplomatic cover, political backing, and financial support without demanding genuine accountability or restraint, they risk emboldening the very policies that fuel instability. Silence and selective engagement are not neutral; they carry consequences for the entire region.
The #Horn of #Africa deserves a different path, one founded on mutual respect, sovereign equality, good-neighborliness, and strict adherence to international law. The region's future lies not in revisionist ambitions, manufactured grievances, or threats of force, but in dialogue, cooperation, and a genuine commitment to peaceful coexistence.

🇪🇷 LEGENDS & LEGACY: Inside Zurich’s Insane 35th Eritrea Independence Celebration! ✨
Some celebrations are loud, but #Eritrea35 in Zurich was absolute magic! 🇨🇭✨ The energy was unmatched, but the true highlight of my night was a deeply humbling moment of connection with two absolute titans of Eritrean culture.
I had the immense privilege of meeting the legendary singers Eng. Asgedom and Mihret Zerhanes! 🎤👑
Hearing their warmth and respect was incredibly grounding. I expressed my deepest appreciation for their lifelong devotion to Eritrean music and arts—they have truly shaped the soundtrack of a nation's resilience.
Here is why this night will stay with me forever:
🔴 A Humbled Heart: Receiving praise from icons you deeply respect is a feeling words can barely capture. 🔵 Cultural Giants: Eng. Asgedom and Mihret Zerhanes aren't just artists; they are living repositories of Eritrean history and spirit.
🟢 Global Fever: While Zurich was unforgettable, Eritreans absolutely torched the scale globally this year, with the home celebrations topping them all!
"Art is the soul of a nation, and those who sing its struggles keep its freedom alive forever." 👇 Watch the video below to hear my full reflection on this unforgettable encounter and the beautiful words exchanged!
Happy 35th Independence Day, Eritrea! 🇪🇷🦁

Rain or shine, the Eritrean spirit always shines brighter! Happy Independence Month, Eritrea!
Welcomed H.E. Mr. Odo Tevi, PR of #Vanuatu to @Eritrea_UN and we discussed developments in our respective regions, ongoing processes @UN.
#Eritrea and #Vanuatu, though located in different regions of the world, share several common climate-related vulnerabilities as coastal and island-oriented developing countries. Both face the growing threat of sea-level rise, which endangers coastal communities, marine ecosystems, fisheries, and critical infrastructure. Island territories and coastal populations are increasingly exposed to erosion, flooding, and environmental degradation linked to climate change.
Both countries also face mounting challenges related to water security, food production, and climate resilience. #Eritrea experiences irregular rainfall, while #Vanuatu is highly vulnerable to cyclones and storm surges. In both cases, climate change places pressure on #agriculture, #fisheries, and rural livelihoods, while increasing the cost of protecting infrastructure and adapting to environmental shocks.
At the international level, #Eritrea and #Vanuatu share a common concern regarding climate justice. Despite contributing minimally to global greenhouse gas emissions, both countries face disproportionate climate impacts and therefore advocate for stronger international cooperation, climate finance, technology transfer, and support for adaptation and resilience...building within the multilateral system.
Will continue to engage and exchange information as we jointly address these and other issues of importance .
