Geologically speaking, around 60 per cent of Eritrea’s territory belongs to the Arabian-Nubian Shield (ANS). The term ‘shield’ is used in geology to describe large areas of exposed crystalline magmatic and highly metamorphic rocks from the Precambrian era that form tectonically stable areas. These rocks are more than 570 million years old, some even 2 to 3.5 billion years old. The ANS is one of the largest Precambrian rock formations in the world, rich in easily mineable raw material deposits".

🦁 Eritrea: Strategic Calm in a Noisy Neighborhood 🇪🇷
🔴 Eritrea does not react to noise — it moves with strategy.
While Ethiopia’s PM, war-driven generals, and PP cadres amplify reckless rhetoric, Eritrea remains composed, calculated, and forward-looking.
“The lion does not turn when small animals make noise.” 🦁
⚡ What the Provocations Are Actually Doing:
🟢 Strengthening Eritrea’s Strategic Position
🟥 🇪🇬 Egypt
• Quiet but deepening security & economic coordination
• Expansion of Assab Port & multi-sector cooperation underway
🟦 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia
• Growing economic & Red Sea security alignment
• Shared interest in regional stability & trade protection
🟫 🇸🇩 Sudan (SAF)
• Enhanced coordination
• Tangible progress amid Sudan’s existential struggle
➡️ Bottom Line:
The louder the provocations, the more Eritrea’s strategic value and alliances expand.
📉 Why the Noise Has No Bite:
🟥 🇪🇹 Internal Collapse
• Multiple conflicts: Amhara, Oromia, Tigray, Gambela
• Army overstretched & losing ground
🟦 Nile Tensions
• Severe diplomatic strain with 🇪🇬 Egypt & 🇸🇩 Sudan
🟥 Sudan Crisis Fallout
• Allegations of involvement with RSF militias
• Trust deficit with neighbors deepening
🟨 Economic Freefall
• Inflation, currency collapse, public despair
🧭 Strategic Reality:
🔹 Eritrea moves quietly, patiently, effectively
🔹 Geography + discipline = leverage
🔹 Stability attracts partners — chaos repels them
“Strength is measured by restraint, not by volume.”
⏳ A storm is clearly forming —
Time will reveal who built foundations… and who built illusions.

Tumultuous welcome of admiration and profound gratitude as Eritrea's National Cycling Team - which collected ten medals (3 Gold; 5 Silver and 2 Bronze) at the 2025 African Cycling Champions held last week in Kenya - returns home.
Prosperity Party (aka Potemkin Party) signature media trademark is better encapsulated in the following algebraic equation:
PP propaganda = Optics + Posturing + Deception + Disinformation; (the four variables have different weights depending on the event/intended objective).
This is indeed the hallmark of the numerous articles churned out on a daily/weekly basis by PP's extensive media platforms (Horn Review; Foreign Policy Institute; X accounts of hired lobbyists etc.).
Latest spin in this profusely boring and stale saga revolves on misconstruing the ordinary and periodic foreign military visits to Addis Ababa - Italian Navy; AFRICOM, France's Armed Forces etc. - as "explicit and pronounced endorsement of its quest for access to the sea".
The hollow optics of the whole affair apart, the controversy has never been on normative access to the sea. Truth is, Ethiopia enjoys a "buyers' market" with a wide latitude of choices and options for cementing viable commercial agreements with all the transit countries in the HoA neighbourhood for purposes of trade.
"Sovereign access to the sea" is however a toxic agenda that infringes on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ethiopia's neighbours in flagrant violation of international law, and, the foundational principles of the UN Charter and the AU Constitutive Act.
Another intriguing/perplexing dimension of PP's quest for "sovereign access to the sea" is its repeated allusion to the exigency of projecting "Naval power in the Red Sea".
True, the Red Sea is an important maritime route for global commercial trade. But this does not mean that all the countries - from near or far - whose commercial transactions somehow pass through the Red Sea have a "legal right or exigency" to acquire naval bases on the shores of the Red Sea!
As expounded in the link below, the littoral States of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden have a consensual position on their obligations and legal prerogatives in securing and promoting enduring and sustainable stability of the crucial international maritime route.
In the event, Potemkin Party's elusive obsession of projecting "naval power" in the Red Sea has no security rationale or dividends whatsoever. And besides its dangerous legal and security ramifications, the obsession is indeed akin to the adage: "ጽንብላሊዕ'ሲ መቐመጫኣ ዘይከደነት፥ ምድሪ ከደነት" ።

#Eritrea: Statement by Ambassador Salih Omar Abdu at the 7th AU–EU Summit; Luanda, Angola, 24 Nov. 2025
*"...The stability of the current international system depends on each and every State’s commitment to respect the cardinal principles that underpin it. As stated in the draft Joint Declaration of this summit, the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of states cannot be negotiated or compromised; and States must refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force. Unequivocal adherence to these principles, enshrined in the UN Charter, are conditions sine qua non for peaceful inter-state relations".
*...Eritrea is concerned that the imposition of unilateral sanctions on several African countries severely hampers their efforts to access international development and climate finance, achieve industrialization and mobilize private sector capital. This hinders the realization of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the aspiration of Agenda 2063, the Africa We Want".
*"...In conclusion, I wish to reaffirm Eritrea’s continued commitment to contribute its share to the promotion of peace and security in the Horn of Africa and the Red Sea Regions. Eritrea also remains committed to contribute to the collective effort of making this partnership a win-win engagement, that adds value to the two Unions, through co-ownership".

On the invitation of General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, the Chairman of Sudan's Sovereign Council, President Isaias Afwerki arrived in Port Sudan in the early afternoon hours today for a working visit.
President Isaias Afwerki and his entourage were accorded warm welcome by General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan and senior Government Ministers on their arrival, by road travel, at the entrance of Port Sudan.
President Isaias Afwerki's visit is both symbolic and vivid gesture of the warm and robust solidarity that Eritrea harbours towards the people of Sudan and their Government in these times of adversity.
The residents of the Port city came out in their thousands to welcome President Isaias Afwerki, chanting in celebration of the historic relations between Eritrea and Sudan.
President Isaias Afwerki met, at the Government Guest House in the late evening hours yesterday, Prime Minister Dr. Kamal Idris for extensive discussions on latest developments in the Sudan as well as status and progress of bilateral ties between the two countries.
President Isaias reiterated Eritrea's commitment in supporting Sudan in its efforts to overcome the prevailing heavy challenges. Prime Minister Dr. Kamal, for his part, expressed the Sudanese people's profound appreciation for Eritrea's historic and principled stance.
President Isaias Afwerki also met with the Governor of the Darfur Region, Mr. Minni Arko Minnawi and Dr. Al-Tijani Al-Sissi. The discussions focused on the overall situation in Sudan and possible pathways for resolving the current crisis.
Good Read: #Eritrea’s Sovereignty and the Myth of Ethiopia’s “Lost Coast”; by Abdu Osman
"...Overall, Eritrea’s coastline is not a matter of debate, it is the sovereign territory of a recognized state. Discussions about Ethiopia’s trade limitations, economic ambitions, or regional security must be grounded in diplomacy, respect for international law, and recognition of Eritrea’s independence. Eritrea’s liberation, referendum, and international recognition are enduring facts; its sovereignty over the Red Sea coast remains legally and morally unassailable (UNMEE, 1993; UNSC Resolution 795, 1992; UNGA Resolution 1514, 1960). Hence, it is time for the Ethiopian leadership to stop wasting time on gimmicks and futile efforts to locate a fictional document, as decolonization never requires any document to end colonial rule and occupation".

International Day of Persons with disabilities commemorated today at Asmara Palace under the mantra: " Promoting equitable and all-rounded participation of persons with disabilities in all sectors of development".
Key Note address by Mr. Mihreteab Fissehaie, Director General at the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare. Mr. Mihreteab underlined that Eritrean Customary & Contemporary Laws have for centuries guaranteed the equity and dignity of persons with disabilities with punitive measures against any stigmatization and discrimination. These laws, which stem from and are embedded in society's cultural values and practices, pre-date their recognition and popularization through international platforms.
UNICEF Resident Representative, Mr. Abdullahi Mohamed, re-affirmed the UN's continued global commitment for enhancing equal opportunities in education and health for persons with disabilities to bolster their dignity as well as positive contributions to national development.
President Isaias Afwerki received, at the Denden Guest House today, the credentials of five Resident and seven non-Resident Ambassadors to Eritrea.
These include:
1. Resident Ambassadors of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia; the Republic of Italy; the Russian Federation; the Republic of Sudan; and, the Delegation of the European Union respectively; and,
2. Non-Resident Ambassadors of the Commonwealth of Australia; the Republic of Poland; the Islamic Republic of Mauritania; the Republic of Zambia; the Republic of Cote D'Ivoire; the Republic of Rwanda; and, the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri-Lanka.
The Ambassadors conveyed messages of goodwill from their respective Heads of State and Government to President Isaias Afwerki and their commitments to further consolidate bilateral ties of friendship and cooperation between their homeland and Eritrea.
The symptoms of desperation and war psychosis, bordering on insanity, within the tight circle of Potemkin Party mouthpieces (Horn Review et al), zealots and trolls seems to have dipped to a new low these days.
Revisionist history recycled ad nauseum; banal postulates on the robust legal basis and dynamics of Eritrea's independence; and wholesale defamatory assault on its developmental principles and trajectory have not produced any PR dividends for the Potemkin Party in its toxic agenda of regional destabilization cloaked under the mantle of "sovereign access to the sea".
In this vein, the despicable campaign they are peddling these days is to scoff at, and desecrate, some of Eritrea's heroes who passed away at respectable ages after accomplishing the highest missions in their lives.
In the feeble and perverted minds of PP zealots, these natural events are misconstrued as "some opportunity"; oblivious as they are to the patriotic fervor of the Warsai Generation who has long inherited the legacy/torch of liberation and proven its mettle in protecting and safeguarding Eritrea's inviolable sovereignty and territorial integrity. ኣብ ነዊሕ መደረ ከይኣቶና፥ "ነዳይ ናይ ልቡ ይሓልም" እዩ እቲ ነገሩ!
