🟥 Eritrea Stands on the Blood & Bones of Its Martyrs
🕯️ June 20 – Eritrea’s Martyrs Day is more than a remembrance — it’s a sacred oath to never surrender the dignity and sovereignty our heroes died for.
📜 Do You Know Why Eritrea Chose June 20 as Martyrs Day?
Let the world hear what mainstream media won’t tell:
🔥 The Story the World Missed – RED STAR vs EPLF
📍 January 1982 – Ethiopia’s Brutal Mengistu Hailemariam launched “Operation Red Star”
➡️ 120,000 Well trained soldiers
➡️ Soviet weapons and Intelligence
➡️ Chemical warfare
➡️ Mengistu moved his headquarters from Addis to Nakfa
Yet…
🛑 Eritrea’s EPLF with only 15,000 fighters & no external support stood tall.
🛡️ Key Moments the World Must Remember:
✅ The 6th Invasion War (6ይ ወራር)
📆 War Began: Feb 15, 1982
📆 Mighty EPLF devestated Derg regime & War Ended in June 20, 1982 — Victory for Eritrea 🇪🇷
⚰️ 2,700 Martyrs — That’s why June 20 is our sacred day.
✅ Fenkil Operation (1990)
🚤 Eritrea’s brave Navy dismantled Ethiopia’s mighty sea fortress with small boats and unmatched courage.
📚 One of the most heroic naval battles in modern African history.
🌟 Why This Story Matters
🗣️ Eritrea’s resistance was built on self-reliance, not foreign aid.
🛡️ Our martyrs didn’t just die for land — they fought for identity, dignity, and sovereignty.
📰 The world’s silence is not a loss; it’s a reason to tell our truth louder.
🙏🏽 To Our Martyrs: We Remember. We Continue. We Prevail.
💬 Let this generation and the next never forget what was sacrificed.

Apparently, another heyday for the usual Conflict Enterpreneurs!
Genuine concern to avert any bout of conflict - Intra-State or Inter State - in the Horn of Africa is of course noble and commendable. Silencing the Guns must indeed be the collective commitment of those who care for the well-being of all the peoples in our region.
But the various postulates and "scenario analyses", as well as calls for "external intervention", peddled by most of these Conflict Enterpreneurs lack depth as well as objectivity, and seem mired in unhealthy motives and underlying agendas. And as ever, sullying the image of Eritrea and using it as a convenient political punch-bag seems to be an organic part of these schemes.
In the event, let us reiterate Eritrea's unflinching commitment to peace on the basis of fundamental pillars of international law and the interests of regional stability.
In this respect,
1. The often repeated accusations of "Eritrean troop presence in the Tigray Region of Ethiopia" by certain circles is utterly false and floated to create a pretext for stoking conflict. Eritrea's troops were and remain fully deployed within its sovereign territories.
2. As underlined in unequivocal terms on many occasions in the past, Eritrea has no interest whatseover in scuttling the Pretoria Peace Agreement; which is essentially an internal Ethiopian affair,
3. Similarly, Eritrea has no interest to exacerbate internal schisms within the political factions of the TPLF which it believes can only entail unnecessary and avoidable suffering to the people of Tigray.
4. Along with other toxic agendas, (ethnic and religious polarization etc.), territorial irredentism has remained the principal cause of endemic and cyclical inter-State and Intra-State conflicts in the Horn of Africa Region. In this context, constant inflammatory statements issued day-in and day-out by various political forces in Ethiopia regarding the Red Sea continue to be a recipes for unnecessary tension. This must be condemned in the strongest terms without any equivocation
@martinplaut Martin pul out, Eritrea today is the most peaceful country in the rwgion. The Eritrean gov does not have any interest for war. Why this nuch hate against the self related hard working nation?
@martinplaut Ethiopia has never been denied commericial access to any costline of the neighboring countries. Ethiopia's demand is ownership of a costline, which looks highly impossible.
@martinplaut May be, cos the US knows how to distablize poor and weak countries like Somalia, but they can't try to recognize Taiwan, cos they are afraid of the reaction from China.
@GondereAndarge@martinplaut@reda_getachew Tigriyans deported 90000 Eritreans and looted their proporties estimated a billion dollars. When thrown from power TPLF became a terrorist organization, declared/opened war on Ethiopian forces and attacked Eritrea by misiles. Eritrea entered into Ethiopia to disarm .....
@GondereAndarge@martinplaut@reda_getachew Yes tigray is not a country, but while in power tigriyans officislly declared war on Eritrea. They organized 120 milion Ethiopians and Invided Eritrea, looted valuabe property and livestock raped elderly women, they became America's pupet and held Eritrea in sanction....
@GondereAndarge@martinplaut@reda_getachew "Tigray has never wanred war"? Well, but Tigriyans/TPLF wanted war with Eritrea. That's why they rejected to handover Badme and other Eritrean territories peacefully to Erutrea. They were ready for war, but lost. How on earth you dare to tell that Tigray never wa ted war?
@martinplaut Something makes me happy here. Look at the comments! Everyone knows thar you are a liar and war thirsty. Everyone fades up of your false accusations. Not surprising.
@martinplaut Mr failure, these fake and false claims against Eritrea did not work. You must be surprised and angered by the strength of the country to tolerate the massive hostilities and sunctions by the UN, which basically was designed by your employers, now the dead TPLF.
@martinplaut Why bring them home? For your best? How on earth do you think it is posible to bring them home before the they are completely trained? It was jus a goog politics Mr lobbyist.
@cabdifatax@martinplaut Proof is the current state of Ethiopia, ethnic tensions, which is Meles' core legacy. That's what makes Meles "the most inteligent person" in Plaut's washed brain.
