"The biggest enemy of the people of Tigray is Me and my comrades" said Getachew Reda in 2017 . Nobody disagrees with this statement, and this is before he became turncoat & put #Tigray in a wretched predicament. Shameless! He is a poster boy for political prostitution #Ethiopia

Profile Q & A - Eritrea: A Model of a Primary Health Care System; Professor Mohamed Yakub Janabi, WHO Regional Director for Africa

Senior Officials (visiting and resident) of UN Development Agencies in Eritrea invariably portray a balanced, nuanced, and positive account of the development challenges and prospects as the interview (link below) illustrates.

*"...Eritrea’s model of largely free or highly subsidized health care is rooted in very strong principles of health equity. It is a notable achievement. However, any free or highly subsidized program usually faces financial, structural, and system-level challenges. To sustain it, the government must work on expanding physical infrastructure and domestic financing. If you want to maintain it, you have to sustain it, and to sustain it, you need a very stable financing process – whether through tax collection and subsidizing the health budget, or by increasing the health budget directly".

*"...I think that with more investment in health – and health has never been a cost; it is an investment that pays back quickly – if you have a healthy community and a healthy population, your people will be more productive. I was very impressed with this initial stage. Eritrea has 98% immunization coverage – you see that level in developed countries. Thus, investment in health is not a cost; in the long run, it contributes to the economic development of any country".

Profile Q & A - “My Dream is Making Eritrea Africa’s Pharmaceutical Hub:” Pharmacist Nuru Abdu; by Kidane Shimendi

The innovative mindset and dedication to the nation of these trail-blazing youth is indeed peerless

*"...To date, I have published 17 research articles in top-ranked international peer-reviewed journals, including those published by PLOS, Springer, BMJ, and Dove Medical Press. Additionally, I serve as a reviewer for more than 20 international peer-reviewed journals and as an academic editor for prestigious journals such as PLOS ONE and Therapeutic Advances in Drug Safety".

*"...During the conference, I received two inaugural honors initiated by ERIPA to recognize scientific excellence. The first was the Best Young Researcher Award, which highlights research productivity and future potential among early-career scientists aged 30 or younger. The second was the Best Conference Presenter Award, which evaluated the scientific quality and clinical rigor of the paper, alongside presentation delivery, audience engagement, and clarity of responses during the Q&A session. This presentation award was specifically for my study titled, 'Safety, Pattern, and Determinants of Prescribed Medicines Among Pregnant Women Attending Healthcare Facilities in Eritrea'. Together, these honors serve as welcome validation and strong motivation to continue contributing to local pharmaceutical research.

Blessed is the womb that gave so much to Eritrea. Rest in peace, Mama Adanesh Berhe—a heroic matriarch who raised 14 children, sending 9 to the liberation struggle and sacrificing two for our nation's independence. My deepest, most heartfelt condolences go out to H.E. President Isaias Afwerki, the entire family, and the people of Eritrea. May they find strength in her incredible legacy. 

Eritrea is truly anchored by a generation of mothers who bore immense sacrifices in silence. What makes our nation exceptional is that our leadership and the first family lead by example—they do not live above the people, but rather with the people. The President and his family live simply among the public as everyday citizens, without special privilege, leverage, or pretense. 

It is this shared humility and dedication to the common citizen that defines the Eritrean spirit. May the world always recognize this truth about the humility at the heart of our nation. Rest in eternal peace, Adey Adanesh. 🇪🇷🙏🏽 #Eritrea

ETHIOPIA — Trying to solve Ethiopia's problems under PM Abiy Ahmed is like trying to repair an old, tattered cloth. The moment one hole is patched, three new ones appear. Ethnic conflicts, religious tensions, economic hardship, and political instability continue to emerge faster than they can be addressed.

[Neamin Zeleke @NeaminZeleke]

Why #AbiyAhmed’s 2026 Vote is a Sham, a Coronation, and a Cruel Joke on the Ethiopian People

1. The election was not national in any meaningful sense. There was no voting in #Tigray, and large parts of #Amhara and #Oromia were affected by conflict and insecurity, excluding millions of Ethiopians from meaningful participation.
2. It was held under war, insurgency, and nationwide repression. This was not a normal election in a peaceful country. It took place in the middle of active conflict, shrinking civic space, and deep political fear.
3. The process was non-competitive by design. In dozens of constituencies, only Prosperity Party candidates were standing. That is not democratic competition; it is structural domination.
4. The real opposition was never allowed to compete freely. Opposition parties could not campaign openly, recruit and mobilize supporters freely, or even secure venues for public meetings. Harassment, arrests, licensing barriers, intimidation, and administrative obstruction shaped the political field long before election day.
4. The ruling party manufactured the appearance of pluralism. In some areas, it left selected constituencies uncontested, not to allow real competition, but to create the impression of a more diverse parliament without risking power.
5. Polling-day procedures were used to hide pre-election coercion. The issue was never whether some polling stations opened smoothly. The real issue was whether Ethiopians were offered a genuinely free, inclusive, and competitive national choice. They were not.
6. Independent media and civic space were systematically narrowed. The government muzzled independent media, harassed critics, and constrained public debate so there could be no meaningful or robust election.
7. Millions were effectively excluded. In more than half of Ethiopia, there were no real conditions for people to participate freely and safely. We are talking about millions and millions of citizens living under insecurity, fear, or outright exclusion.
8. The outcome was predictable from the start. This was never a real contest with uncertainty about the result. It was widely understood, both inside and outside Ethiopia, that Prosperity Party would dominate the outcome.
9. That is why so many observers and Ethiopians alike described it as a coronation. This was not a democratic mandate. It was a sham election staged to manufacture legitimacy for Abiy Ahmed’s authoritarian rule through electoral theatrics.
10. In many respects, it was even worse than the so-called elections under the EPRDF era. At least those were widely understood as authoritarian exercises. This one was carried out under war, territorial exclusion, nationwide repression, and an even narrower political space, while still trying to market itself as democratic progress.
