September 18, 2001:

One of the most destructive days in Eritrean history. Where the abnormal was normalized. Where the trajectory of decades of sacrifice was officially annulled. One that derailed everything that came before it. A day of utter infamy.

Why we should never stop talking about 18 September 2001 - the day #Eritrea became a dictatorship.

Happy to see Congressman Sherman express his opposition to the Eritrean dictatorship, as well as urging the State Department to support and fund the opposition. I further commend Congressman Sherman for specifically referencing my client, Ghebre Bahdurai, the transitional President of Eritrea, as opposition leader. My colleague, former Congressman Jim Moran, and I, represent the Eritrean government-in-exile led by President Bahdurai in Washington, DC. Furthermore, I encourage all of the Eritrean opposition to unite under the leadership of President Bahdurai and his government-in-exile.

I couldn’t even bring myself to write anything on this yesterday, it pains me that much. Sudan’s national museum was one of the greatest museums on this planet and probably the only one in the world where you could stroll and examine items dating back thousand years without having to share the experience with crowds of tourists.
So many of these looted artefacts are now undoubtedly going to end up in the private collections of rich Emiratis. Priceless items telling some of the earliest stories of Nubian and Human civilisation sold to them by their genocidal proxy militia for close to nothing.
Europeans first looted our artefacts to display in Italian, British, German museums now what remains will likely end up in private collections in the UAE and after all the looting is completed by these imperialists they will tell us we are just Africans with no history to share. What makes this even more painful is the lack of global solidarity or outrage. There are items in that Museum that pre-date Notre Dame by 6,000 years but while that incident was centred in the global news agenda our loss will largely be ignored.

Minister Berhane Abrehe made his stand at home, not by circumstance, but by choice. Not once, but many times. Today we hear the sad news of his passing while in illegal detention. He lived and died with dignity, embodying the spirit of a true tegadalai. A man who knew what it means to be honest with himself and the world, he set a new standard for standing by one's word. His journey from a young activist to independence fighter to high-ranking government official, and ultimately to a vocal critic of the regime, demonstrates his unwavering commitment to the welfare of his people.

Born in 1945 in Quandeba, Eritrea, his dedication to his country began in the early 1960s when he was a student. While studying for his master's degree in engineering at the University of Illinois, he played a crucial role in setting up Eritreans for Liberation in North America, a student association which helped to connect young students with the armed struggle for independence. In 1975, he joined the EPLF, quickly becoming a key member of its leadership. After Eritrea regained its independence, he worked as the Minister of Land and Water in the 1990s and as the Minister of Finance from 2001 until 2012. In 2011, he proposed wide ranging government reforms within the Ministry of Finance and other government ministries leading to his removal from his position in 2012.

While abroad for medical treatment, he wrote a critical two-volume book, "Hagerey Eritrea" (My Country Eritrea), challenging the status quo and calling for peaceful reform. Instead of remaining in exile and publishing the book, he chose to return home. As an advocate for peaceful reform, he sent a recorded message to Eritrean media in exile inviting the president to an open debate. Following the publication of the book, he was arrested in September 2018. This was the price he was willing to pay for his principles. Even when they arrested him, he was in control of the decision to be in a position to be jailed. He protested while making a stand in words and in action.

Tegadalai Berhane Abrehe's life exemplifies the courage to stand for one's principles no matter the circumstances, even in the face of dire consequences, including prison, torture, and death. With his bold stance, he reminds us what it means to fight for a people you love. His legacy is an inspiration to those who believe in the importance of integrity and the relentless pursuit of justice for one's people. May his unwavering fighting spirit continue to inspire us all. Rest in peace, tegadalai.

I can’t let this go to waste. I’ll use this article to teach Eritrean children the importance of grammar, punctuation, and proofreading their work. Thank you for your service!

Is Tour de France Winner Biniam Girmay a Tigrayan? His success has engendered identity controversy. Are the claims that he has roots in Tigray true? This article explains, and puts the controversy into political context. https://t.co/IxO1UY8PmN
