[Yemane G. Meskel 🇪🇷 @hawelti]

In characteristic fashion, the Potemkin Party's erratic political pendulum is yet again swinging between two extreme positions:
i) A provocative and aggressive posturing that has been accompanied, for over two years now, by incessant saber-rattling to "acquire sovereign access to the sea", on the one hand;
ii) Simultaneous portrayal of itself as the "aggrieved party" and a "hapless victim of internal and external conspiracies", on the other.

This was indeed the gist of the PM's rambling at the House of Peoples Representatives earlier today.

Hyperbole and associated drama aside, the stubborn facts remain the same.

The sad truth is: the unnecessary and avoidable tensions in the region have and continue to be stoked by the very reckless policies of the Potemkin Party. For brief illustrations:

1. The palpable friction with the Sudan squarely emanates from the Potemkin Party's dangerous involvement in the conflict in the Sudan by hosting, under the bidding of certain extraneous forces, a secret military camp and base for the RSF in the Benishangul-Gumuz region of Ethiopia. The evidence, which is overwhelming, is already in the public domain.
2. The Potemkin Party's stealthily signed MOU with Somaliland a couple of years ago was another illicit and reckless misstep that aroused consternation in the region as a whole. This act remains in flagrant violation of the AU and IGAD Constitutive Acts as well as fundamental tenets of international law on sovereignty and territorial integrity of States.
3. The Potemkin Party has pursued, for over two and half years now, a toxic and revisionist policy against Eritrea by openly threatening to invade/acquire by any means, its Assab port and coastal areas for what it terms as "sovereign access to the sea".
4. In the event, its frequent reference to "conspiratorial forces disappointed by, and bent on, scuttling the Pretoria Agreement" is as disingenuous as it is untenable. In as far as Eritrea is concerned, the Pretoria Agreement is a purely Ethiopian affair. Let us also recall - the beans have been spilled now by Getachew Redda's multiple confessions - that the Potemkin Party was scheming against Eritrea (Djibouti and Seychelles events) months before the negotiations and signature of the Pretoria Agreement.

In a nutshell, the quest for enduring regional peace and stability that the peoples of the Horn of Africa deeply cherish and deserve has been, and continues to be, jeopardized by the Potemkin Party's delusional policies.

From the battlefields of Eritrea’s struggle for independence to the football pitch, Eritrean women have always shown courage, discipline, and determination. Their strength continues to inspire new generations to dream, compete, and lead. #Eritrea

The Eritrea National Team recently visited the iconic Fiat Tagliero building in Asmara, a site renowned for its architectural significance and symbolic importance to the nation. While exploring this historical landmark, the team experienced a serene, joyful atmosphere and took in the rich cultural heritage surrounding them. During their visit, they also took time to appreciate other notable sites in Asmara, learning about the city's history and significance. In the coming days, the team plans to travel to Massawa, where they will continue training while further immersing themselves in the local culture and environment.

Eritrea has been elected to serve as one of the Vice-Presidents of the United Nations General Assembly’s 81st Session (September 2026 – September 2027).

This election reflects growing international recognition of Eritrea’s active role in multilateral diplomacy and its commitment to the principles of the UN Charter.

Congratulations to the Eritrean delegation and the entire nation!

Exclusive Q &A: 'We Consider Eritrea a Pillar of Stability'; Egypt's Foreign Minister, Dr. Badr Abdellaty

*"...This visit comes amidst several important occasions, most notably the approaching celebration of the 35th Anniversary of Eritrea’s Independence. Heartfelt congratulations on this auspicious occasion. I am carrying a message from President El-Sisi to his brother President Isaias – a message of empathy, brotherhood, friendship, support, and solidarity".

*"...Firstly, we view Eritrea as a fundamental pillar of stability in this troubled region, the Horn of Africa. We admire President Isaias’s wisdom in managing relations with a high degree of tact, balance, and de-escalation. Secondly, there is a shared vision between the two Presidents regarding managing relations in the Red Sea and Horn of Africa. We manage these relations based on dialogue, focusing on improving living standards, enhancing economic and technical cooperation, and avoiding military escalation or rash adventures with unpredictable consequences. We cannot afford such situations; we already have more than enough problems".

*"...There is a strong alignment between Egyptian and Eritrean viewpoints that all matters related to the governance and security of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden are solely the responsibility of the littoral states. This is crystal clear and non-negotiable. Discussions are currently underway among the littoral states – particularly with Saudi Arabia, Eritrea, Egypt, Jordan, Yemen, and Somalia – to activate the Council of Arab and African States Bordering the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. The focus is on activating this council as quickly as possible to ensure that governance and security of the Red Sea are a reality, not just rhetoric. This necessitates activating the council’s mechanisms, which will be headquartered in Saudi Arabia. There are clear visions for linking ports and fostering logistical cooperation among Red Sea ports of the littoral states. Security, too, must be the sole responsibility of the littoral states and no other parties. This is a clear and non-negotiable point".

The EU Delegation in Eritrea hosted a vibrant celebration with Guest of Honour H.E. Foreign Minister Osman Saleh and other Eritrean Ministers, EU Ambassadors, diplomats, partners and friends. EU Ambassador H.E. Joanna Darmanin reaffirmed the EU’s commitment to strong engagement with Eritrea — rooted in dialogue, cooperation, and peace.

[Ghideon Musa @GhideonMusa]

Some countries are known more by what is said about them than by what is experienced within them.

Eritrea reminded me of the distance between those two things. This was my first visit. We came to deepen dialogue, move projects forward, and understand where partnership can go further.

The work itself was clear: Energy, transport, financial sector modernization, skills development. But the experience unfolded differently. It felt personal.
H.E. Mr. Hagos Gebrehiwet, the President’s Senior Advisor, made things possible in ways that are not always visible, but are always felt — clearances, access, responsiveness. The kind of support that builds real momentum.

Hon. Dr. Giorgis Teklemikael, Minister of Finance and National Development, gave us his time beyond protocol. He walked with us through discussions, joined site visits, hosted dinner, and created space for honest, constructive conversation.

We also engaged deeply with:
• Hon. Dr. Halima Mohammed, Minister of Education
• Hon. Arefaine Berhe, Minister of Agriculture
• Hon. Alem Kibreab, Acting Minister of Mines and Energy
• Mr. Aynom Berhane, Director General, National Statistics Office Each showed ownership and commitment to progress.

Special appreciation to Ms. Nahla Valji, UN Resident Coordinator, for bringing together partners from UNDP, UNICEF, IFAD and others.

Eritrea is often seen from a distance, sometimes misunderstood. On the ground, what you find is effort — deliberate, steady, and real. A country working in its own way and at its own pace to build something durable.

It is a privilege for the @AfDB_Group to partner with Eritrea on this journey. A partnership built on trust, and one we don’t take lightly.

We left with concrete next steps — including greenfield renewable solar power plants in Tesseney, Kerkebet and Berantu, plus financial sector modernization.

But more than projects, we take a deeper understanding of the country and quiet reassurance that respectful, patient partnership finds its way forward.

My thanks to President Isaias Afwerki for accepting my letter of credence.

Though 🇨🇦 and 🇪🇷 have differences, our discussion focused primarily on where our interests align.

In Eritrea 🇪🇷 education is free. Government of Eritrea believe that free education is fundamental in guaranteeing everyone has access to education. However, in many countries, parents often can’t afford to send their children to school. #SDGs #FreeEducation #EducationForAll
