RUBIN’S ERITREA THESIS: OUTDATED, INACCURATE, AND STRATEGICALLY HOLLOW
Incompetent Michael Rubin’s latest warning about U.S. engagement with Eritrea is not simply flawed; it is emblematic of a long-standing pattern in his public work, a pattern defined by sensationalism, selective memory, and a remarkable immunity to the consequences of his own past predictions.
… Rubin’s argument depends on portraying Eritrea as uniquely dangerous, uniquely untrustworthy, and uniquely beyond the reach of diplomacy. This framing is familiar because it mirrors the way he has described other states in his long record of commentary.
… Rubin’s rhetorical style further undermines his credibility. His commentary is filled with ad hominem attacks, exaggerated metaphors, and language designed to provoke emotional reactions rather than facilitate understanding.

@TiborPNagyJr Perhaps your colleagues are the ones who support and fund the pirates. Who funded ISIS and the Taliban? Thanks to Trump, the US’s true nature is exposed to the world. Your country is afraid of genuine global freedom.
@tesfanews He would provoke conflicts beyond his borders to create opportunities—an approach that has also worked for him domestically by turning his people against each other.
The fall and massacre of Al-Fashir mark the total collapse of international humanitarian law and international system and expose the irrelevance and toothless bodies of the UN, AU, and Arab league.
The rise of non state actors with drones & sophisticated weapons back by foreign mercenaries with sponsored by powerful states threatens to dismantle African state one by one.
Africa, this is not a movie, it’s your death sentence.
Disarm RSF, disarm General Hafter of Libya, Disarm regional militias in Somalia now before the African states descends into complete collapse and irreversible chaos. Act now or never.
@TiborPNagyJr A flip-flop diplomat! Weren’t you the one encouraging the PP party toward a confrontation with Eritrea? Seems you’ve realized that wouldn’t achieve your regional goals. Still, it’s good to hear you now advocating peace
@BehiwotTilahun The term secession is is used incorrectly here — Eritrea rightfully earned and achieved its independence, which, in a just world, should have occurred as early as 1952. ችንቅላትህን ከፍተህ ታሪክ መርምር��� ተማር።
Strange! Despite clear international principles, they (🇪🇹) insist on negotiating for the cession of part of our sovereign land(🇪🇷) and sea — a move that exposes an astonishing arrogance and disregard for our sovereignty. No nation with self-respect would entertain such a demand.
PP's obsession (yesterday's speech in "House of People's Representatives") with the "Two Waters" - Blue Nile and Red Sea - is bizarre and mind-boggling by all standards.
There is no palpable geographical overlap, intersection or confluence; legal analogy; geopolitical symmetry or other shared attributes between these two divergent themes that one can invoke by any stretch of imagination.
Historically, forces of aggression and domination have always conjured-up some deceitful palliative to rationalize and justify their abominable agendas of coveting and usurping inalienable people's rights, and/or national wealth and endowment, of their victim countries.
In this perspective, the Potemkin Party's gimmick is too crass and pathetic "to sell" even by these historical and decadent ploys.
Indeed, it could have been shrugged off as inconsequential/comical delusion if it were not fraught with stoking and igniting yet another unnecessary and avoidable bout of conflict in a region bedevilled by perennial upheavals and attendant suffering. This is the quagmire that the Potemkin Party and its ilk seem to be incubating without let-up almost on a daily basis.
From historical archives: Britain considered Eritrea as a war booty in the Second World War and literally plundered its entire economy; essentially for nefarious political ends. And UK Governments have not, to-date, acknowledged nor made amends for the abominable transgression.
I condemn in the strongest terms the unlawful actions of a company based in the Emirates. They have hacked my emails, monitored my calls, and spread false allegations against me
They target me because I expose their evil activities in the Horn of Africa, the Red Sea, and the Sahel.
I was born free. I am African. I will express myself freely. No one can colonize my mind. I reject all forms of subjugation.
"A state that waged a war against Eritrea and sieged it for years and still threatens it by a new war to achieve it's delusions of access to the sea" - Egypt today at the UN General Assembly
