@NSNCyclingTeam May God receive his soul into His loving hands. May he rest in eternal peace. Our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones during this difficult time. From all of us in Asmara, Eritrea, our thoughts and prayers are with you. 🙏🏽🕊️
The Potemkin Party’s propaganda machinery is increasingly edgy and seems to spin out of control to miss the whole plot these days.
The telltale signs of this desperate mindset and quagmire are better accentuated by:
- the marathon interviews of its leader in the past ten days with Amhara Media Corporation (AMECO) and Oromo Broadcasting Network (OBN) principally on domestic issues but with frequent provocative digressions on Eritrea;
- the flurry of articles/Tv programmes on Eritrea by the Potemkin Party’s official/affiliated media outlets – Ethiopian News Agency (ENA), Ethiopian Broadcasting Corporation (EBC), Fana Broadcasting Corporate (FBC), FDRE Institute of Foreign Affairs, Horn Review, etc.
PP’s new narrative on domestic issues peddled in the Interviews is naturally an internal matter that has no pertinence to Eritrea. As such, we shall not delve into their substance though we may allude, in passing, to the overwhelming consensus/verdict by most Ethiopian analysts on its dangerously myopic tactical approaches – and double-speak. That the Interviews are maliciously aimed at stigmatizing as well as inciting cleavages and polarization between certain, and especially the Amhara and Tigrayan, ethnic nationalities and intended as desperate appeals for sectarian support from the Oromo ethnic constituency.
In reference to Eritrea, the PP’s manufactured narratives venture into “creative” fantasies and fictious constructs that are grossly at variance with historical facts and events.
In a nutshell, the new “PP linen”, touted for the market, consists of:
1. Preposterous claims of Oromo “expedition” into Eritrea in the distant past to include full occupation of Midri Bahri (Medieval and independent Kingdom in the Highlands and eastern lowlands of present-day Eritrea). For “incontrovertible proof”, the pretentious PP leader invokes a phony conjecture of semantics to speculate “same origins” between Barentu (Eritrea’s capital city of the Gash Barka Region) and Borona in present-day Oromia Region; as well as Soira (the highest mountain in Eritrea), Debra and other numerous names (not explicitly listed in the Interview) in Eritrea with similar sounding places in Oromia etc.
2. These fantasies could have been routinely dismissed as hollow and risible if they were not fraught with tragic consequences.
3. Indeed, what the newly minted narrative signifies is that the malaise/quest for “sovereign port ownership” by invading Eritrean sovereign territory that the PP leader enunciated in October 2023; his previous and outrageous claims that “he could not find legal documents on Eritrean independence in Ethiopian official archives (Cabinet, Parliament etc.)”; subsequent claims on Eritrea’s Dahlak Islands and the southern coastline for reasons of “strategic depth” to “project Ethiopia’s maritime power” etc. have degenerated further towards terminal metastasis.
4. In effect, the Potemkin Party’s revisionist history and toxic agenda have now morphed into full-scale denial of Eritrea’s inalienable status as a sovereign nation. This recent chorus of aggression and war is of course antithetical to the 2018 Eritrea-Ethiopia Friendship Agreement which was anchored on Ethiopia’s full adherence to international law (and EEBC Award) and for which he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize!
5. Duplicitous and ironic as it is, the Potemkin Party’s agenda of aggression and war are increasingly couched in self-defense terms these days. To this end, Eritrea is constantly portrayed, by the PP’s media outlets, as “innately insecure whose survival depends on perpetual destabilization of Ethiopia”. Eritrea’s independence struggle is denigrated as an “external conspiratorial agenda that was concocted to weaken Ethiopia”.
6. All these transparent ruses are willfully peddled to prepare “historical and legal rationale” for a destructive war. The truth is Eritrea has never had the interest or political design and will to destabilize Ethiopia. The costly and long war of liberation was imposed on Eritrea due to Ethiopia’s expansionist ambitions and annexation in flagrant breach of international law. The border war from 1998-2000 essentially erupted due to the willful desire of the incumbent regime to change the sacrosanct colonial borders in violation of international law, the UN Charter and the AU’s Constitutive Act. The climate of tension and conflict that looms in the Horn of Africa region today is, again, largely a product of the Potemkin Party’s misguided policies of irredentism and hegemony. The illicit MOU that the Potemkin Party signed with Somaliland in 2024; its hosting of military base in southwestern Ethiopia to provide support to the RSF under the bidding of the UAE; and its constant threats and saber-rattling against Eritrea complete the picture of the reckless policies of destabilization to which the Potemkin Party seems wedded to for reasons known to itself.
7. Finally, Eritrea had indeed cultivated networks of support with various Ethiopian liberation movements, including the Oromo Liberation Front, during the armed struggle in 1980s. These were based on common denominators and platforms of opposition to oppression by the incumbent regimes in Ethiopia and recognition of Eritrea’s legitimate rights of decolonization. Even in those times, Eritrea’s principled position on Ethiopia’s unity and territorial integrity were crystal clear and explicitly pronounced; including in its 1984 seminal paper on EPLF ties with Ethiopian Opposition Movements.

What Haben Dawit has accomplished is truly remarkable. As Eritrea’s first pathologist, she is a powerful example of what it means to take the bull by the horns—to recognize a critical need, refuse to wait for someone else to solve it, and step forward to become part of the solution.
Haben saw a major gap in our country’s healthcare system and must have asked herself a simple but powerful question: “Can I do something about this?”
Her answer was a resounding YES.
She knew the road would not be easy. She had children to raise, a husband and family responsibilities, and all the demands that come with being a mother and wife. Yet she decided that through hard work, discipline, determination, and enormous personal sacrifice, she could do it all.
As her children themselves attested, the road to her achievement was anything but easy. Haben had to juggle studying, helping her children with their homework, caring for her family, and pursuing a demanding medical profession. But she refused to fold.
She didn’t say, “This has never been done in Eritrea.”
She didn’t say, “There is no roadmap for me to follow.”
She didn’t wait for permission, applause, or someone else’s blessing.
Instead, she became the person who created the roadmap.
That is what makes her story so powerful. Haben was determined to become a pioneer in the pathology profession in Eritrea—not primarily for fame, recognition, or financial reward, but for something much greater.
As Haben herself eloquently explained, her motivation was to serve her country and her people.
She wanted to help reduce Eritrea’s dependence on foreign medical services by becoming part of the answer to a critical national need. More importantly, she wanted to help patients—especially those who may not have the financial means to travel abroad seeking diagnosis and medical treatment.
That is service.
That is sacrifice.
That is pioneering.
And that is patriotism expressed through knowledge, skill, and action.
Haben Dawit is not only a role model for her children; she is a role model for Eritreans—young and old, women and men alike. Her journey reminds our young people that when you see something your country needs, you don’t always have to wait for someone else to provide it. Educate yourself. Develop the expertise. Accept the sacrifices. And, when possible, become part of the solution yourself.
Her accomplishment should especially inspire young Eritrean girls to understand that motherhood, family responsibilities, and enormous challenges do not have to extinguish their ambitions. The road may be difficult, but pioneers are precisely the people willing to walk where there was no road before them.
As Sebhat Efrem once said:
“If you give an Eritrean an opportunity, don’t be surprised when she or he succeeds.”
Haben Dawit’s journey embodies that spirit beautifully.
🇪🇷 Congratulations, Dr. Haben Dawit. You didn’t simply enter a profession—you helped pioneer one for your country. May your achievement inspire thousands more Eritreans to ask themselves: “What does my country need, and what can I do about it?” 🇪🇷

@ebczena Are you sure Xemdo is for war, your pp government is the one who destabilize our region and Xemdo was born by the people of the region to bring peace. So correct your narrative.
Asmarino’s morning ritual
A silky glass of macchiato crowned with soft foam, paired with a golden, sugar-dusted bombolone — the simple, perfect pleasure of a morning at Bar Vitoria.
@fanatelevision@UN@_AfricanUnion Is it Ethiopia or Eritrea creating problems, the world is witnessed the past years that there is full peace in Eritrea but problems in Ethiopia, it is because of the poor Ethiopian PP leadership.
Eritrean Air Force Sports Competitions Commence
The month-long event kicked off on 5 August with 8 clubs (men & women) competing in football, volleyball, basketball, athletics, target shooting & more. Held every two years to develop athletes for the Air Force’s ‘Kinfi’ Club.
Maj. Gen. Teklay Habteselasie praised the growing sports culture.

In these tumultuous times, charting out synergetic and complementary architecture of collective regional security, and more broadly, modalities and mechanisms of wider cooperation has become more vital and urgent than ever before.
The overarching political considerations and operational calculus behind this conviction are the imperatives of ownership and agency; the need to avoid a polarized climate of global rivalry; and the rationale for enhancing local capacity building and mutual cooperation between the main stakeholders to secure and enhance enduring regional peace and stability.
In the Red Sea, this broad framework translates and is better summed up in the following 12 points that Eritrea submitted to the Council of Red Sea and Gulf of Aden Littoral States few years ago.
Eritrea maintains that these parameters can indeed serve as substantive inputs that can be enriched through continuous and rigorous consultation against the backdrop of fluid and changing realities.
1. Comprehensive and unbiased assessment of the current realities of the Red Sea and associated matters, in all their dimensions and perspectives in a realistic manner;
2. Full clarity on the desired objectives and goals;
3. Detailed mapping of the threats to the peace and security of the Red Sea; and, categorization and specification of these parameters;
4. Formulation of a viable strategy that will ensure achievement of constructive objectives and goals;
5. Formulation of strategies to contain and eliminate the threats in tandem with the positive policies of cooperation;
6. Mapping out detailed schemes and plans that will ensure holistic implementation of the twin strategies;
7. Stipulation of the implementation mechanisms, associated structures and mobilization of the requisite resources;
8. Ensuring that all the organizational configurations and frameworks that are developed are anchored on respect of sovereignty and international law;
9. Ensuring that all littoral States build and possess their own effective defense capabilities and naval forces (without delegation to others);
10. Supplementing, through collective efforts and synergy, those specific tasks that cannot be met through individual domestic capabilities and resources;
11. All relevant States will create appropriate modalities of cooperation with “external forces” for tasks or missions that are beyond their collective capability on the basis of a consensual framework;
12. Creation of competent committees to address all these issues in a comprehensive and professional manner.
GENEVA

Just listening to this clip fills me with immense confidence and optimism about Eritrea’s future. It’s inspiring to know that we have mothers like her, who are raising children who aspire to become the future of our nation. Compare their English proficiency to those with PhDs in neighboring country. I am overjoyed for the mother and congratulate you, Eritrea’s mother, on your remarkable achievement. Thank you for raising such intelligent children and serving as a role model for them and all Eritreans.❤️❤️❤️🙏👍👌
