Hey @grok this video from Tigray is being shared as English speaking foreign fighters. Some people saying Israeli or UAE mercenaries with the Ethiopian army. How true is that and what do we actually know about foreign forces involved there right now?
Through every storm, the people stand with him, and he stands with them. A bond forged in struggle, strengthened by sacrifice, and rooted in an unbreakable love for #Eritrea.
One of the most untold humanitarian stories today is the way #Eritrea is accommodating #Sudanese people fleeing the devastating war in their country.
As the world knows, #Sudan has been engulfed in a civil war for years, with direct military involvement of the #UAE and #Ethiopia.
The people of Sudan are enduring unimaginable suffering, killings and mass displacement amid a conflict that has devastated their lives, communities and the country.
Yet, the people and government of #Eritrea have welcomed their Sudanese brothers and sisters. Rather than simply erecting refugee camps filled with tents, Eritrea has opened hotels and homes to accommodate those fleeing the war. It has not made a public spectacle of their plight or turned their suffering into a campaign for international recognition or funding from #UNHCR and other organizations.
Instead, the #Eritrean people are sharing whatever food, shelter and resources they have with their brotherly Sudanese neighbours, despite their own limited means.
This is an extraordinary expression of solidarity, humanity and #African brotherhood. At a time when so many countries publicise their humanitarian contributions and seek international recognition or funding for their efforts, Eritrea's approach deserves far greater attention and lesson to the world.
This is the spirit of solidarity that the people of #Eritrea are demonstrating towards their #Sudanese brothers and sisters.

What are Israeli mercenaries doing in #Tigray, #Ethiopia ? Local person filiming these soldiers can be heared say about the soldiers 'they are israelis'
“You can’t build nations through mechanisms that are managed by warlords. You can’t build nations in the name of so-called federal democracies. Federal democracies create a conducive climate for warlords and divisive agencies to manipulate the politics of every nation, distancing the reality from the real objectives that have to be achieved.”
— Eritrean President, Isaias Afwerki to RT
ETHIOPIA’S OVERTLY DECLARED WAR AGENDA AGAINST ERITREA
(Verbatim Statements by Ethiopian Government Senior Officials denigrating Eritrea’s Sovereignty)
The Potemkin Party is engaged, these days, in a frenzied and deceitful diplomatic campaign to re-package the unprovoked war that it has declared against Eritrea for over three years now in “self-defense garb”.
As illustrated in the link below, the regime has leveraged, throughout this period without let-up, all its political, media and military institutions to indoctrinate its population, and especially the youth, with incendiary propaganda to normalize and rationalize a war of aggression against Eritrea.
To this end:
1. Eritrea’s Statehood and hard-won independence were, and continue to be, denigrated as “a conspiratorial Project conceived by external forces”. These inflammatory and provocative positions constitute brazen violations of international law and the sovereignty and integrity of a UN member State.
2. The Eritrean sovereign port of Assab is often depicted as “stolen Ethiopian land” that must be retrieved to “correct a historical mistake”. This falsehood and revisionist narrative of history is peddled to justify its agenda of “sovereign access to the sea”.
3. Eritrea’s southern coastal land must also be annexed to provide “strategic depth” to Ethiopia’s phantom navy.
4. Even prior to its declaration of war against Eritrea through the announcement of its Leader to the House of Peoples Representatives on 13 October 2023, and as early as July-August 2022 while the war in the Tigray Administrative Region was still raging, the Potemkin Party had sought to create an alliance with the TPLF to wage war against Eritrea which it had dubbed as the “ultimate enemy” of both entities.
5. The Potemkin Party also ramped up, inconsequential as it may be, its hostile activities of sponsoring subversive groups (“RASDO”, “Green Islamic Movement”, and another obscure outfit classified as a foreign-based terrorist Group by Germany’s Prosecutor Office) for the purposes of “regime change”.
6. The intensive war campaign and relentless saber-rattling have been accompanied by massive weapons purchasing spree; mostly underwritten by external forces.

THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL MUST ACT BEFORE THE HORN OF AFRICA ERUPTS
Wars rarely begin without warning. Before the first shot is fired, there are threats, military calculations, escalating rhetoric, and foreign interference. The Horn of Africa is now flashing precisely those warning signs. The question is no longer whether the international community can see the danger. The question is whether it will act before the danger becomes another devastating regional war.
At the center of the growing regional anxiety is the government of Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.
There is an important distinction that must not be blurred: Ethiopia’s desire for reliable commercial access to the sea is one question; sovereignty over another country’s territory or coastline is an entirely different one.

#Eritrea: Strategic Communication for Narrative Shaping, Prospects for GoE and UN Collaboration; by Yemane G/Meskel
(Paraphrased and updated version of a speech made at UN Regional Directors Retreat in Asmara on August 2025)
On this memorable month of May - Eritrea's 35th Independence Anniversary - the notorious Conflict Entrepreneurs and detractors seem to have doubled down on their usual vitriol against the country. Reuters and other mainstream media outlets have also joined the defamatory chorus. For instance, Reuters gullibly recycles, in its news analysis of the lifting of US sanctions, discredited and demonizing labels on Eritrea and its government citing the discredited UN Special Rapporteur and US-based Freedom House as credible and authoritative sources in spite of its avowed commitment to 'balance, neutrality and impartiality' as spelled out in its own Standards- "The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles".
In a more broader context and as underlined in the speech:
*"... The campaign of defamation has its ebbs and flows. It is particularly toxic during certain months of the year of historical significance to Eritrea. These are: i) September, that coincides with the beginning of the Armed Struggle for Liberation; ii) May, our Independence Anniversaries; and, iii) June, the month when we commemorate our Martyrs".
*"...The predictable and repetitive patterns of Eritrea-bashing & defamation, has impelled some of us active in Social Media to designate these periods as Eri-Influenza Months".
*"...Unfortunately, the worst offenders in this category include some of the politicized agencies in the UN system".
*"...The defamatory narrative on Eritrea, often cloaked in demeaning and pejorative labels, is widely recycled by pliant and complicit mainstream media outlets as well as the closed loop of hired lobbyists and Intel Operatives masquerading as experts and pundits on the Horn of Africa region – that we aptly call እፍሊ ሓንጨመንጪ".

This article argues that long before the arrival of colonizers, #Eritrean customary systems were already sophisticated instruments for maintaining peace, security, and order. We focus on four key principles enshrined in various Eritrean customary laws that reflect the fundamental tenets of modern criminal law and demonstrate a profound respect for human dignity and due process. #Eritrea #EritreaPrevaills

The Potemkin Party’s fairytale keeps getting wilder. Now they’re asking the international community to help them claim another sovereign country’s sea—as if borders are mere props in their political theatre. #Eritrea#Ethiopia#HoA
@alema_kidus @mrubin1971 እንዳ ቁማል So that next time u pretend to be #Eritrea'n u sound a bit believable, 😜Here is how WE #Eritrea'ns say it

@martinplaut@martinplaut, you wrote a book called *Understanding #Eritrea*, but what you wrote today clearly shows otherwise.
The fact that you posted blatantly false information and did nothing to correct it says a lot about you. What @hawelti said about you a decade ago makes sense.
