This weekend, on 20th June, #Eritreans across the globe and from all walks of life will solemnly commemorate Martyrs' Day, reflecting deeply and honoring our fallen heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice to secure #Eritrea's sovereignty and ensure the survival and dignity of the #Eritrean people as a viable nation.

#Eritrea: Statement by Ambassador Sophia Tesfamariam at the Enhanced Interactive Dialogue; Geneva 15 June 2026

*"...Eritrea rejects the report before the Council as fundamentally flawed in its methodology, unsupported by independently verified information, and disconnected from realities on the ground. Its findings and conclusions therefore lack credibility and cannot serve as a reliable basis for informed deliberation or action by this Council".

*"...The Special Rapporteur argues that his mandate is indispensable as the only international mechanism responsible for monitoring Eritrea. This assertion disregards the existence of multiple United Nations mechanisms, including the Universal Periodic Review, treaty bodies, specialized agencies, and other intergovernmental processes through which all Member States, including Eritrea, are regularly assessed".

*"...Eritrea has maintained its sovereignty, preserved social stability, sustained public administration, and continued the delivery of essential services despite decades of conflict, sanctions, and external pressures. While acknowledging the need for continued progress, this reality is fundamentally inconsistent with the picture repeatedly presented through this mandate".

*:...When a country-specific mechanism persists despite sustained questions regarding its selectivity, methodology, and balance, it risks shifting from a tool of engagement into one of entrenchment. Rather than promoting constructive dialogue, it perpetuates a divisive process that has failed to command broad confidence among Member States.... Eritrea therefore rejects both the report and the resolution before the Council and reiterates its call for the termination of this mandate".

@SirakBahlbi Thanks Sirak ! The way these zombie followers are acting is pathetic. The moment their narrative is challenged, they swarm in like a programmed script repeating the same talking points, recycling the same excuses & attacking anyone who dares to question their version of reality🤣

[Sirak Bahlbi @SirakBahlbi]

Like 44 countries around the world—roughly 23 percent of all nation-states—#Ethiopia is a landlocked country. Despite Abiy Ahmed's political adventurism and rhetoric, Ethiopia remains landlocked and will continue to be so. There will be no peaceful or negotiated transfer of sovereign coastal territory to Ethiopia. That chapter of history was closed centuries ago and is not going to be reopened.

This does not mean, however, that Ethiopia cannot secure highly favorable arrangements for access to the sea. Surrounded by more than five neighboring countries (#Eritrea, #Sudan, #Djibouti, #Somalia #Kenya) with ports, Ethiopia is actually in a strong bargaining position. It can negotiate competitive trade agreements, pursue customs unions to prevent arbitrary tariff increases, and establish mutually beneficial economic partnerships that guarantee reliable and affordable access to maritime trade.

The alternative is the path pursued by short-sighted and covetous leaders, both past and present, who view territorial expansion as the solution. History has repeatedly shown that wars of conquest and attempts to seize lands that do not belong to Ethiopia have ultimately left the country weaker, more divided, and increasingly vulnerable to fragmentation.

Surely there are sensible #Ethiopians who recognize this reality. Rather than engaging in self-defeating nationalist fantasies, they should think strategically about peaceful coexistence, regional cooperation, and honest self-reflection. #Europe learned this lesson. Much of #Asia learned it as well. There is no reason #Africa cannot do the same.

Eritrea and Egypt have agreed, in talks held this afternoon between Foreign Minister Osman Saleh and his Egyptian counterpart, Dr. Badr Abdellaty, to strengthen their all-rounded bilateral ties of cooperation and to coordinate their respective positions on issues of common interest.

In a Joint Press Conference held after the talks, the two Foreign Ministers:
- Invoked the historical and brotherly ties that exist between Eritrea and Egypt and the extensive talks held between President Isaias Afwerki and President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in Cairo on 8 June this week.
- Affirmed that the two sides have reached a cooperation agreement on the sectors of mining, infrastructure, housing, the pharmaceutical industry, maritime transport, ports connectivity as well as ports development especially in Assab, Massawa and Marsa Fatima; and, land, air and maritime connectivity between the two countries.
- Egypt reiterated its full support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Eritrea.
- In regard to the security of the Red Sea and the region as a whole, they reiterated the need and urgency of bolstering the capabilities of national institutions as the bedrock of stability and development. This was in line with the pronounced and aligned positions of the two Heads of State on the imperative of respecting the foundational principles of international law on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all States.

The two Foreign Ministers further affirmed the continuation of periodic consultative meetings in Cairo and Asmara between relevant government bodies of the two sides as well as coordination in their positions on regional and international matters.

Education: The Bedrock of #Eritrea’s Development and Social Justice; by Habtom Tesfamichael
(Paraphrased from Interview with Dr. Halima Mohammed, the Minister of Education)

*"...Significant achievements have been recorded over the past 35 years. The student population has grown from approximately 200,000 at independence to around 800,000 today. Schools have been constructed across the country, national curricula have been developed in all Eritrean languages, and ongoing efforts are being made to strengthen the teaching force by creating opportunities to enhance their qualifications".

*"...Nevertheless, important challenges persist. To address these challenges, the Ministry is focusing on expanding access, particularly in lowland and remote areas; reforming curricula to strengthen vocational pathways; improving teacher recruitment, training, and working conditions; decentralizing operations; strengthening research and evidence-based planning; modernizing schools with ICT, virtual labs, and digital libraries; and enhancing parental and community involvement. Greater investment in boarding facilities, laboratories, and teaching materials is also underway".

*"...As Eritrea marks 35 years of independence, its education system reflects both impressive progress and a clear determination to overcome remaining obstacles. The experience accumulated and the foundation built during these decades provide renewed hope and confidence. With sustained commitment, increased investment, and focused reforms, education will continue to serve as the very soul of the nation’s march toward social justice, harmony, and rapid development".

Unilateral and unjust sanctions on Eritrea have finally been lifted. This marks an important moment for justice, sovereignty, and truth. Thank you, God, for guiding us through difficult times and giving strength and resilience to the #Eritrean people.

#Eritrea’s Agricultural Development Over the Past 35 Years: Advancements in Water Reservoir Construction and Livestock Development (Part I)

by Ermias Solomon - MoA Public Relations Division

*"... Over the past 35 years of independence, Eritrea has made remarkable progress in transforming its agricultural sector through sustained investment in water resource development; soil and water conservation, and livestock production. These achievements, realized through the Government’s own efforts and in collaboration with development partners, have played a decisive role in improving food security, strengthening rural livelihoods, and enhancing the resilience of farming communities across the country".

*"...As Eritrea celebrates 35 years of independence, these milestones stand as clear evidence of what can be achieved through visionary leadership, community participation, and unwavering national determination. The progress registered over the past three and a half decades provides a solid platform for further advances in agricultural development and for ensuring a more prosperous future for all Eritreans".

@HebentiEri291 @wedi_zemat @hawelti You are beautiful my friend! to recognize our Minister who is constantly in touch with us. Sometimes I wish they had time to enjoy life, but we are selfish when we challenge them to tell their amazing story, knowledge and strength that they can pass on to future generations.

[Alula Frezghi @AlulaFre]

The latest “CONFIDENTIAL 👀” rumor being circulated is nothing more than recycled fiction dressed up as intelligence. The story claims that U.S. and Israeli officials are in Asmara negotiating Eritrea’s sovereignty, Eritrea’s ports, and Eritrea’s foreign policy all without a single verifiable source, official statement, or diplomatic record. It is speculation masquerading as fact.

Let’s be clear:

1. No foreign delegation is in Asmara negotiating Eritrea’s ports.

There is no public record, no diplomatic notice, and no credible reporting confirming U.S. or Israeli officials holding talks with Eritrean leadership about Assab, sanctions, or economic deals.
When real diplomacy happens, it does not leak through anonymous Telegram channels claiming “authoritative sources.”

2. Eritrea has never negotiated its sovereignty not for sanctions relief, not for aid, not for geopolitical convenience.

The idea that Eritrea would trade sovereign control of Assab for a “sweetened deal” is an insult to basic political literacy. Eritrea’s position on its coastline has been consistent for 30 years:
sovereignty is not a bargaining chip.

3. Ethiopia is in no position to negotiate Red Sea access through back‑channels.

The same Ethiopian leadership that:

• declared hostility toward Eritrea,
• threatened to seize ports by force,
• and attempted to delegitimize Eritrea’s statehood

cannot simultaneously be in secret U.S.-brokered negotiations for “corridor access.”
You cannot wage a propaganda war and a peace negotiation at the same time.

4. Linking Nile negotiations to Eritrea’s ports is a political fantasy.

Ethiopia’s attempt to bundle its Red Sea ambitions with Nile talks is well known, but it has no legal basis and no international traction.
Egypt–Ethiopia negotiations over the Nile are a separate file entirely.
Trying to drag Eritrea into that file is a transparent attempt to manufacture leverage where none exists.

5. “Africa Intelligence said…” is not evidence of anything.

Africa Intelligence frequently publishes speculative, anonymously sourced pieces.
Quoting it does not transform rumor into fact.
Even their reporting on Ethiopia’s upstream dam ambitions does not imply any Eritrea‑U.S.‑Israel negotiation exists

Bottom line

This entire narrative is a fabricated geopolitical fan‑fiction built on:

• anonymous “sources,”
• unverifiable claims,
• and the wishful thinking of those who want Eritrea’s sovereignty to be negotiable.

It isn’t.

Eritrea is not in talks to surrender its ports.
Eritrea is not trading sovereignty for sanctions relief.
Eritrea is not part of Ethiopia’s Nile bargaining strategy.

Anyone presenting these rumors as “CONFIDENTIAL” intelligence is simply trying to launder speculation into credibility.

[Amb. Sophia Tesfamariam @AmbStesfamariam]

Welcomed H.E. Mr. Rui Vinhas, PR of #Portugal, to the Permanent Mission of Eritrea @Eritrea_UN . It is always a pleasure to reconnect with my distinguished colleague and exchange perspectives on issues of mutual interest on the UN agenda. Our discussion also touched on the outcomes of the International Migration Review Forum, which is now drawing to a close, and the urgent need to address the challenges of migrants and refugees through a holistic, balanced, and cooperative approach.

In a world increasingly marked by conflict, instability, economic uncertainty, climate-related pressures, and geopolitical tensions, migration cannot be viewed in isolation from the broader global context. Durable solutions require addressing root causes, promoting equitable development, strengthening international cooperation, and ensuring that the dignity and rights of migrants and refugees are upheld. At the same time, it is equally important to recognize the legitimate concerns and responsibilities of States in managing migration in accordance with international law.

We emphasized that respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of States, adherence to the principles of the UN Charter, and non-interference in the internal affairs of nations remain essential foundations for international peace, stability, and cooperation. In navigating today’s multiple crises, the international community must work collectively to uphold these principles while fostering dialogue, mutual understanding, and solidarity among nations.

We will work closely to enhance #Eritrea-#Portugal bilateral ties...

Yes, this is a truth that rises to the level of a creed for every African. No one can scratch your back like your own fingernails. Africa lacks nothing; everything is available within it. It possesses abundant resources and fruits, and African peoples are not the same as they were two hundred years ago, thanks to increased awareness and human development alongside technological advancements. However, we often feel pain within ourselves and try to discover the ailment because we cannot see it with the naked eye. Therefore, we seek solutions to alleviate the pain. Our war is not with the outside world; it is with some of our own people, those to whom we belong and who belong to us, who trade our freedom for a handful of dollars for power, personal gain, and tribal interests. But absolute faith in freedom allows us to breathe freedom, even if only in our dreams, and that is proof that absolute freedom for the peoples of Africa is coming.

Today, many platforms show the enemies of the Eritrean people stirring up trouble and burning with resentment over the rapprochement between Eritrea and the United States. Shame is etched on their faces as they anticipate the closing of their avenues of deceit and treachery. Their coffers are running low, and their pockets will surely be emptied of their ill-gotten gains. That is why we hear their cries today.

These conflict entrepreneurs have been whining & shouting day & night over the growing engagement between Eritrea & the US, the lifting of unjust & unlawful sanctions, & the approaching Eritrean Independence Day celebrations. The "Erifluenza" seems to be reaching peak levels! 🇪🇷

[Sirak Bahlbi @SirakBahlbi]

Thank you @hawelti for sharing this paper on the extensive and deeply unbalanced media campaign against #Eritrea that has persisted for decades. The issues raised in the paper provide valuable material for research and for understanding how Eritrea has been deliberately targeted through sophisticated political and intelligence-driven narratives. Young Eritreans should study these issues carefully and respond with awareness and critical engagement.

May is shaping up to be an exciting month, highlighted by the vibrant celebration of 'Africa Day' on May 30th in London! This event promises to be one of the most significant gatherings of the year, dedicated to unifying the African continent and highlighting the invaluable contributions of Africans living in the UK. It's a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our rich cultural heritage and the pivotal role the African community plays in the country's growth. Inspiring to witness a diverse group come together for this occasion, which included diplomats, representatives from African institutions and banks, and members of the African diaspora. I captured a moment with H.E. Macenje 'Che Che' Mazoka, Commissioner of Zambia; Stella Okuzo, Director and CEO of the Royal Africa Society; and H.E. Sara Amani, Ambassador of Côte d'Ivoire. Our participation highlights a collaborative spirit and a shared vision for a brighter future.

#Eritrea on the rise and naysayers can do nothing about it. Lifting of unfair sanctions opens up opportunities for Eritrea and ensures the security of red sea and of other littoral states.
