The disappearance of six-year-old Paulos in Germany is alarming. A country renowned for its safety must answer how this happened. @BMI_Bund @Polizei_DE His family’s distress is our distress. Let’s demand accountability and swift action.

Breaking: Over 400 Eritreans arrested in Addis Ababa are being transported in more than 7 buses to the Afar region. A similar mass relocation occurred last year. Why are refugees facing such repeated inhumane treatment? #EritreanRefugees #HumanRights

“Ethiopian immigration authorities force Eritreans to leave the country but demand $6,200 for an exit visa and confiscate their passports. This unjust exploitation leaves refugees trapped and vulnerable. #RefugeeRights #Eritrea #Ethiopia”

To all diaspora Eritreans traveling to #Eritrea: be sure to familiarize yourself with the updated immigration regulations.
