A remarkable achievement and a testament to #Eritrea’s enduring cycling tradition and dominance on the continent.
Congratulations to Eritrean cyclists and everyone behind this extraordinary success! #Eritrea #Cycling #UCIAfricaTour
YOU CANNOT SNOOZE HISTORY
Ignore the lesson. The lesson does not disappear.
By Abraham Gebremichael
This is the continuation of “Eritrea Is Not a Snooze Button.”
The alarm is ringing again.
Assab returns to speeches.
The Red Sea returns to political calculations.
Old ambitions find new microphones.
But one thing has not changed:
Eritrea is still there.
Borders are not erased by nostalgia. Sovereignty does not expire because geography is inconvenient. And Assab is not waiting for someone else’s history to wake up.
It has its own.
History has already answered whether Eritrea will defend its sovereignty, and it answered at an extraordinary cost.
The question now is different:
Will the Horn of Africa remain trapped in yesterday’s ambitions, or build tomorrow’s relationships?
Ports can connect nations without belonging to them.
Trade can cross borders without erasing them.
Economic necessity can create cooperation without demanding annexation.
The choice is not between Eritrean sovereignty and Ethiopian access to the sea.
That is a false choice.
The real choice is between cooperation and coercion.
Between agreements and threats.
Between building corridors and reopening graves.
The Red Sea has watched empires come and go.
The coastline remains.
So does Eritrea.
Perhaps it is time to stop reaching for the snooze button.
Not because Eritrea fears the alarm.
But because an entire region deserves finally to wake up.
Glory to our martyrs.
Strength to our people.
May wisdom guide the region toward peace.

Welcomed H.E. Mr. Joan Forner Rovira, PR of Andorra, to @Eritrea_UN. We discussed the multilateral system and how we can make a difference by approaching issues from different angles.
In an increasingly polarized @UN General Assembly, and amid the many challenges we face globally—from climate change to conflicts, reaching across the aisle is becoming more than just a gesture. It is essential to building bridges, finding common ground, and creating space for dialogue.
Culture may be the lowest-hanging fruit: a practical way to bring nations together, foster mutual understanding, and galvanize cooperation across regions and political divides. Multilateralism works best when we look beyond our differences to identify what can unite us.
We agreed to work together to further develop #Andorra–#Eritrea relations.
It was an honor to welcome, share experiences, ideas and opinions with the designate Ambassador of Ghana H.E. Mr. HUMPHREY C. AJONGBAH during His Excellency’s curtesy visit to our Embassy today エリトリア #Erittea#Ghana

Welcomed Mr. Rosevel Pierre Louis, EAD Deputy Director at @UNDPPA, to @Eritrea_UN. We discussed developments in the #Horn region in particular, and #Africa in general. #Eritrea’s positions on the issues are clear and have been articulated consistently in multiple forums.
#Africa needs honest brokers for peace, trusted by all sides, not more competing diplomatic tracks driven by external interests. It needs principled engagement, respect for sovereignty, and a genuine commitment to ending conflicts rather than simply managing them.
Despite numerous diplomatic initiatives and engagements, several conflicts in the #Horn region remain unresolved, while people continue to lose their lives, livelihoods and hope for a peaceful future. Arms continue to flow, external interests compete, and the international community too often appears unable, or unwilling, to take meaningful action to stop the bloodshed.
Peace cannot be built through selective engagement, geopolitical calculations or the pursuit of competing strategic interests. It requires listening to all sides, addressing the root causes of conflict, and fostering the political will and conditions necessary for viable and sustainable solutions.
The people of the #Horn have endured enough. They need peace brokers who are trusted, impartial and genuinely committed to peace, not to managing conflict or advancing another agenda. The world cannot continue to remain silent while the region pays the price.
#Eritrea will continue to engage constructively, share its perspectives and seek solutions, while fostering greater understanding through its engagement with and at the @UN.

#Eritrea: Statement at Fourth Regional Ministerial Steering Committee (ReSCO);
(Delivered by Ambassador Beyene Russom, Ambassador of the State of Eritrea to Kenya and Tanzania, on behalf of H.E. Ms. Amna Nurhussien; Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, )
*"...Eritrea strongly believes that resilient primary health care is the foundation of both improved health outcomes and stronger health security. We have invested in a community-based primary health care system anchored in a cost-effective Basic Health Care Package that extends essential services to rural, remote and nomadic communities".
*"...The backbone of this system is our network of more than 300 health facilities and over 3,000 community health agents, who serve as the first line of defense in disease detection, maternal and child healthcare, and health promotion".
*"..Through the Expanded Programme on Immunization and the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness, Eritrea has maintained immunization coverage above 90 per cent and reduced under-five mortality by more than 70 per cent since 1990".
*"...Regarding financing, more than 85 per cent of Eritrea’s health budget is domestically sourced. This reflects our firm commitment to health sovereignty"
*"...We also welcome innovation in digital health, solar-powered health facilities and the local production of essential medicines to reduce supply-chain vulnerabilities... We remain aligned with the regional objective of reducing the number of zero-dose children and building integrated and resilient primary health care systems".
&"...Eritrea reaffirms its commitment to Africa CDC, the regional priorities that will emerge from this meeting, and the achievement of a stronger, healthier and more self-reliant Africa".
