Abiy Ahmed effectively declared war on #Eritrea since October 2023 and has been preparing for war for the past three years. He has provoked Eritrea, going so far as to claim that Eritrea, as a nation-state, does not exist.

Anyone who has been following developments in Ethiopia has been predicting that he would eventually start a war with Eritrea, particularly after the sham election he organised. But his first priority was to reassert control over #Tigray, after the people of Tigray refused to take up arms against Eritrea. Abiy also has unfinished business with Tigray and has continued to seek to subjugate its people.

He has worked hard to provoke a war between Eritrea and Tigray, deliberately pulling out Federal Forces from all the border areas and attempting to antagonise the two sides into fighting each other. But he failed miserably, as the wise people of Eritrea and Tigray chose peaceful coexistence instead. This has angered Abiy, who has since been working relentlessly to divide and weaken Tigrayan people by every means at his disposal.

Over the past two weeks, he has moved towards war, first marching towards Tigray and then, ultimately, Eritrea. But because he cannot launch a war against Eritrea without having to answer to the international community, he has been concocting a “self-defence” narrative to justify an invasion of Eritrea.

Last week, he appeared to try to use Al Jazeera and Awol Arba to implicate Eritrea, with reports claiming that Eritrean troops had moved deep into Afar. But the story failed to gain significant traction in the international media.

Today, the job was given to @dwnews, which reported alleged sightings of Eritrean troops inside Tigray. There was no confirmation from the Tigray authorities, nor was there any reported fighting with the ENDF—despite claims that Abiy has already occupied the whole Tigray and that his army are supposedly dancing in the streets.

In my opinion, Eritrea has shown extraordinary restraint despite the colossal daily provocations and repeated declarations of war from Abiy and his PP followers. It would be the ultimate dereliction of duty for Eritrea to simply sit idle while the PP’s army marches towards Eritrean territory with military equipment supplied by the UAE, apparently seeking to capture Eritrean territory.

And for the record, Abiy is risking everything—including the possible disintegration of #Ethiopia—to start a war with Eritrea for two reasons. First, to distract the #Ethiopian population from the utter failure of his leadership; and second, because he is acting as an agent of the UAE, which has ambitions to control as many ports as possible along the strategically vital waterways of the Red Sea.

Ethiopia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs is these days accusing Eritrea for acts of "unprovoked aggression that may jeopardize regional peace and security".

Audacity and duplicity in their most extreme forms!

The indelible facts:
1. Ethiopia has in essence declared a war of aggression against Eritrea when its Prime Minister announced to his Parliament on 13 October 2023 that his regime will acquire "sovereign access to the sea, through negotiations if possible and by force if necessary".
2. As illustrated in the Press Release issued at the time (link below), Eritrea responded with exemplary restraint and equanimity to underline that it will not be provoked by these perplexing pronouncements and events.
3. In subsequent and repetitive campaigns to agitate and solicit support from his domestic constituencies to his war agenda, the PP's leader invoked "Israel's annexation of the Golan Heights" as a useful precedent for what he had in mind for Assab.
4. He went further to denigrate and deny Eritrea's independence by stating that "he could not find any legal documents in all Ethiopian Government archives - the Cabinet, Parliament etc. - in relation to Eritrea's independence".
5. His periodic and strident agitations included urging and reminding the Ethiopian Army that its core mission centered on "ensuring and maintaining the security of the Red Sea from the edge of Somalia to the Port of Massawa".
4. Taking their cue from the Potemkin Party's Chief, senior political and military officials dwelt on provocative statements on several public events; essentially to declare that they will correct the "historical mistake" and forcefully occupy the Eritrean port of Assab as well as its entire southern coastline to secure "strategic depth" to their phantom naval force.
5. And, on 27 September last month, the Ethiopian Army's Deputy Chief of Staff openly declared that "the offensive launched in Tigray will not stop there". He went on to state: "Mekelle is a mere stop-over, our ultimate destination is Assab; our main objective is to install our flag in the Red Sea".
6. The hysterical infatuation with the Red Sea must also be seen with previous intentions to wage a war of invasion against Eritrea but that were not publicly divulged at the time. Indeed, the PP regime did not only try to entice the TPLF to join forces for an invasion against Eritrea in confidential meetings in Djibouti and Seychelles during the Tigray War in early/mid 2022, but a confidential report issued by the EU Envoy after her visit to Ethiopia in September 2022 - a couple of months prior to the Pretoria Agreement - bluntly announced that the 2018 Peace Agreement between Eritrea and Ethiopia had become "null and void". These were apparently sinister machinations to which Eritrea had no inkling at the time.

In brief, the Ethiopian regime has been pursuing, in effect, an unprovoked war of aggression against Eritrea for more than three years now in flagrant breach of foundational principles of international law and the UN Charter that prohibit the threat or use of force against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of another Member State.

There is absolutely NO rhyme or reason for #Eritrea to invade #Ethiopia. This is a blatant hoax designed by Abiy to fabricate a pretext for invading Eritrea’s sovereign territory.

Eritrea has not a single economic or political reason to invade Ethiopia.

On the other hand, Ethiopia not only has a motive to invade Eritrea, but Abiy Ahmed has openly declared his objective of securing sovereign sea access, by hook or by crook.

Whatever the outcome of Abiy’s adventure, it risks plunging the Horn of #Africa into an endless Armageddon of regional conflict.

The world needs to pay attention and act before it is too late.

@ConnectiveStrat #Fake_news_alert
Many @AbiyAhmedAli's supporters and others media outlets are fabricating fake news regarding the #Eritrean_troops.
They are using old footage from 2018 Ethio-Eri border reopening ceremony and footage from 2022 when the Eritrean troops withdrew from #Tigray.

[Elias Amare ኤልያስ ኣማረ @EliasAmare]

.@AbiyAhmedAli's #Ethiopia
•Has been at war against its own citizens for over 8 years
•Constantly violates #Somalia's sovereignty
•Wages #UAE's proxy war on #Sudan
•Openly threatens to invade #Eritrea.
Eritrea is within its territory, so far exercising maximum self-restraint.

[Thomas C. Mountain @thomascmountain]

There has to be a hidden hand behind the massive propaganda campaign accusing Eritrea of invading Ethiopia. When you think about it the most likely culprit are the gangsters with the most invested, and the most to lose, the UAE mafia. money talks, right?

The Potemkin Party in modern #Ethiopia.

[Yemane G. Meskel 🇪🇷 @hawelti]

Potemkin Party political novices and minions (Abraham Belay et al) are mendaciously trying to weave a new "legal" pretext for the reckless agenda of conflict and war that the regime has been doggedly pursuing against Eritrea for more than three years now.

The transparent and pathetic ploy rests on re-packaging/couching PP's illicit agenda of war for "sovereign access to the sea" and projecting "naval military power with strategic depth in Eritrea's southern coastal zone" in the language of "self-defense".

But this wicked and deceitful approach cannot find currency or traction anywhere.

The indelible facts are - and this is in the public record as illustrated in the link below:
1. Potemkin Party's senior political and military leaders have been wedded to an expansionist war agenda and have made multiple provocative statements to that end in the past three years;
2. As corroborated by the testimony of none other than Getachew Redda, PP's aggressive agenda in fact precedes its first public pronouncement by its leader in October 2023.
3. Indeed, in August 2022 and while the war was raging in the Tigray Region, the Potemkin Party proposed to the TPL,F during the peace talks in Djibouti and Seychelles, "to bury the hatchet and join forces to invade Eritrea as the ultimate, common, enemy".
4. The Potemkin Party has also continued to host and sponsor notorious, even if inconsequential, Eritrean subversive groups (RASDO etc..) for the purposes of "regime change".

In a nutshell, and coupled with its myriad acts of regional destabilization, the culprit and source of instability in the region which continues to flout international law with impunity is, and remains, the Potemkin Party with its delusional aspirations of "regional grandeur".

Profile Q & A: “#Eritreans are not only patriotic, but they are also Authentic” Ambassador Perseverance Mbuzeli

The multi-layered ties of cooperation and partnership between Eritrea and South Africa have grown with time; anchored as they are on closely aligned perspectives on vital issues of global governance as well as incremental programmes of cooperation on capacity building and investments in sectors of each-other's comparative advantages.

In the words of Ambassador Percy:
"...We believe in equal partnerships; we believe in smart partnerships. We do not believe in a culture of handouts.. We collaborate across various agricultural sectors.. we also collaborate on maritime-related matters, specifically in the blue economy...Furthermore, we have been promoting people-to-people relations through cultural exchanges... As I said earlier, the prospects for progress, development and smart partnership between these countries and their peoples are ever-bright".
