Eritrean Festival 🇪🇷💥

[Amanuel Biedemariam @Amanbiede]

I am attending the Scandinavian Eritrean Festival in Stockholm, Sweden, for the second time. Once again, I am deeply impressed by the community’s dignity, grace, discipline, joy, and unity. These qualities reflect a determined people committed to succeeding and thriving wherever they are.

The contrast from previous years is striking. During earlier festivals, Eritreans faced violent attempts to disrupt and shut down these community gatherings. Many Eritreans also felt that public discourse and official narratives reduced them to political labels rather than seeing them for who they are.

What was often overlooked was an extraordinary community defined by its values, history, identity, and deep sense of belonging. The love Eritreans have for one another, their pride in their heritage, and their respect for the country they now call home are evident throughout this festival. At a time when much of Europe is grappling with growing anti-immigrant sentiment, the vibrancy, organization, civic engagement, and unity of the Eritrean community stand out in a remarkable way.

This year, I had the opportunity to meet Swedish officials who were attending the festival, engaging with community members, and listening to their perspectives. With elections approaching, many are also reaching out to Eritrean voters. That represents a notable change from previous years and an acknowledgment that the Eritrean community is an active and valued part of Swedish society.

There is still work to be done. Misunderstandings and long-held assumptions do not disappear overnight. But compared to last year, I sensed a greater willingness to engage. That is encouraging, and it reinforces the importance of continuing to build understanding through dialogue, mutual respect, and firsthand experience.

AlJazeera - Ethiopia is not being ‘dragged into war';
by Mr. Ali Ibrahim Ahmed, #Eritrea's Ambassador to Qatar

*"... The recent opinion article by senior Ethiopian officials Redwan Hussein and Getachew Reda, published on Al Jazeera English’s website, attempts to portray Ethiopia as an innocent victim being reluctantly 'dragged' into conflict by external actors. In doing so, the piece seeks to absolve the ruling Prosperity Party of responsibility for Ethiopia’s mounting domestic crises".

*"...More dangerously, this narrative serves as a diplomatic smoke screen designed to normalize the unprovoked hostility, state-sponsored inflammatory rhetoric and aggressive military mobilizations that the Ethiopian government has directed towards Eritrea since late 2023".

*"...This coordinated campaign seeks to normalize the idea that colonial boundaries in the Horn of Africa are negotiable in order to attempt to challenge inviolable principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity that have long underpinned regional stability".

*"...The broader pattern extends beyond Eritrea. Ethiopia’s recent foreign policy conduct has increasingly generated tensions with several neighboring states. The Memorandum of Understanding signed with Somaliland, which sought access to coastal territory without the consent of Somalia’s central government, triggered a major diplomatic crisis and raised serious questions regarding respect for established principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity".

*"...Similarly, Ethiopia has repeatedly pursued interventionist policies in neighboring conflicts in the quest for short-term geopolitical objectives. Whether in Somalia, Sudan or elsewhere, Addis Ababa’s reckless regional agenda of expansionism has contributed significantly to regional mistrust and destabilization".

Eritrea's National Service seems to be on the spotlight again by certain quarters.

The "new interest" does not stem from some "benevolent concern" for Eritrea. On the contrary, it is floated, purely and simply, in order to weaponize it as a "convenient" whiplash or cudgel for their unwarranted and malicious policies of perennial witch-hunting and harassment.

Indeed, the logic is simple and straight forward.

Countries and international institutions that were complicit in, or that kept mum, at critical junctures of Eritrea's modern history; when its decolonization rights were compromised to mollify the overriding geopolitical interests of major powers; when they left it to its own devices during the three decades of its long and arduous liberation struggle; who relapsed to their traditional position of hostility or apathy even after independence when successive Ethiopian regimes waged illicit wars, and are still contemplating reckless agendas, of territorial irredentism.. etc. have no legal or moral authority to comment on Eritrea's defense architecture.

Truth is international partnership is, and must be, a two-way street. Those who have traditionally abandoned Eritrea during its cyclical ordeals cannot pose as "good-faith" partners to offer unsolicited "advice" on its defense architecture.

The facts are otherwise unambivalent and crystal clear:

1. First off, demobilization is not a new or novel concept to Eritrea. The GOE embarked, on its own volition, on a demobilization programme in 1992, immediately after independence, to reduce the size of the 100,000-strong army of freedom fighters by 65%. The military doctrine at the time was to maintain a small professional army of 35,000 that would be supplemented by a reserve army (National Service) for reasons of contingency in the event of some grave external threat to the nation.
2. In this perspective, National Service was introduced in the context of this military doctrine. It was and remains limited to 18 months by law. And this was the operational modality until the war of aggression that was unleashed by Ethiopia in 1998 under the false pretext of a border dispute.
3. The GOE again embarked on a much more expansive Demobilization Programme in 2001 pursuant to the signing of the Algiers Agreement. The second Demobilization Programme had various training and reinsertion components as it was also funded by Eritrea's international partners including the World Bank, the European Union and bilateral funds. More than 105,000 National Service members were demobilized in this programme that continued until 2007. But it was ultimately shelved as the Ethiopian regime continued to renege on its treaty obligations; occupy, with impunity, sovereign Eritrean territories including Badme; and further pursued a hostile policy of perpetual confrontation.
4. The mindset of the current Ethiopian regime remains, in many respects, a continuation and aggravation of the misguided and deplorable policies of aggression of its predecessors.
4. But even during these trying and difficult times, the GOE has, and continues to take, various measures to mitigate the shared burden of the National Service. The measures adopted range from introduction of new and much higher Civil Service Salary Scale to deployment of the overwhelming majority of NS members to the public sector.
5. In the event, the new smear campaign on the National Service peddled by certain quarters, and its timing, only amplify a malicious ulterior agenda that has nothing to do with the welfare of the Eritrean people and/or the pursuit of regional peace and security.

The Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare has stated that GOE has disbursed, through monthly installments, over 6.2 billion Nacfa in tribute to, and, for the support of the families of Eritrea's Martyrs in the past twenty years (2004-2025).

Cairo, Asmara, and the Battle for Regional Stability

CAIRO ― As security dynamics in the Red Sea and Horn of Africa continue to evolve, #Egypt and #Eritrea have emerged as important actors in efforts to promote regional stability.

This has become increasingly important as #Ethiopia, despite hosting the African Union headquarters, is viewed by many in the region as a destabilizing force whose policies have undermined the sovereignty and security of neighboring states, particularly #Sudan, #Somalia, and #Eritrea.

Confronting such challenges requires more than symbolic security cooperation. It demands a robust strategic alliance that goes beyond joint military exercises and standard defense agreements, one capable of deterring aggressive behavior and compelling responsible conduct in the interest of regional peace and stability.

#Eritrea and the UN at 80: An Example of Effective Partnership; by Ms. Nahla Valji, UN Resident Coordinator in Eritrea

*"...Eritrea offers a distinctive example of reform in action. The country’s history of struggle and its philosophy of self-reliance have shaped a model of cooperation founded on mutual respect and shared responsibility. As the Ministry of Foreign Affairs recently emphasized, 'Eritrea’s commitment to self-reliance does not mean isolation. It is a foundation for genuine cooperation' - based on mutual respect, shared responsibility, and a common purpose.”

*"...That principle defines Eritrea’s engagement with the UN. The partnership on development is guided by a Cooperation Framework, a jointly agreed plan that reflects national priorities and serves as the main instrument for planning and implementing efforts towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. All UN-supported work derives from this framework, ensuring alignment and national ownership".
