1/ Now the real question
How are you supposed to develop a country when you’re under sanctions, cut off from SWIFT, and have Ethiopia, a Western puppet, on your border applying pressure 24/7?
And yet… Eritrea still builds. 🧵
Real progress is measured by how much impact it has on people’s lives!
Don’t be one of the fools who fall for PR and everything that sounds and looks nice.

I am following this account because I stumbled in this video reportage about #Eritrea, which is the closest to reality I have seen by an #African Media. I think people and especially #Africans should follow this type of accounts...

When a powerful country 🇺🇸 does not like the direction another country is taking it can use its economic influence to isolate it from the🌍
When a country is placed under sanctions, doing business with it becomes a serious risk. Companies, banks, and investors can face penalties or lose access to important financial markets if they deal with the sanctioned country.
United States lifts unilateral sanctions on Eritrea
The United States announced yesterday – through an announcement posted on the US Department of Treasury Website - that it had lifted the unilateral sanctions imposed on Eritrea by the Biden Administration on 17 September 2021 under Executive Order No.14046.
Although the imposed sanctions were not warranted by any metrics and had indeed caused incalculable damage to the country, the positive decision to lift them now is expected to mark an important step towards strengthening constructive relations and cooperation between Eritrea and the United States.
The unilateral sanctions targeted the Eritrean Armed Forces, senior Government officials and key trading enterprises.
It is to be recalled that, in a congratulatory message sent to the people and Government of Eritrea on the occasion of its 35th anniversary of independence last May, President Donald Trump had stated that it was time for the two countries to put the previous era behind them, move forward and work together for shared peace and prosperity. #Eritrea
