The fact of the matter is Ethiopia’s ruling Prosperity Party has been recklessly indulging, for the last two years, in uncalled-for pronouncements as well as provocative saber-rattling, to acquire, in its own words, Eritrean ports “legally if possible and militarily if necessary”
Meeting Professor Takafusa Izuka, PhD reminds me of Mr. Mihtsun Hadgu, 9th grade high school geography teacher in 1962 Scoula Vittorio #Eritrea, because of the still lingering concept he instilled,in my mind:use of contours in maps & land use “ፍግረ መሬ ት”エリトリア #TICAD9

Book Review - “Striving at Home”: A Powerful Memoir of #Eritrean Identity and Resilience; by Yishak Yared
There is visible resurgence, in this particular period, of Memoirs and novels, mostly in local languages, on Eritrea's epic struggle for national liberation that was launched when its inalienable right of decolonization was sacrificed on the altar of geopolitical interests of major powers and their regional surrogate.
Their relevance is gauged not only by the imperative to pass on Eritrea's contemporary history to posterity but also to rectify revisionist trends peddled by those who are nostalgic of & harbour occupationist/irredentist ambitions.

🚨 Eritrea EXPOSES Abiy’s False War Flag! 🇪🇷🆚🇪🇹
🔥 The Real Aggressor Is NOT Eritrea — It's Abiy's Collapsing Regime!
🛑 Let’s Break Down the LIES from Addis Ababa:
🔴 1) Abiy’s regime openly threatens to seize Eritrean sovereign ports by force.
📺 2) State-owned Ethiopian media spews daily war propaganda targeting Eritrea.
🏛️ 3) Abiy himself confirmed in Parliament that the Eritrean Army is within its legal, recognized borders.
🤝 4) Addis is now hosting Eritrean opposition & supporting anti-Eritrea regime change plots.
⚠️ 5) Abiy is using Eritrea as a scapegoat to distract from the civil wars in Amhara, Oromia & Tigray.
🌍 6) He is destabilizing the Horn of Africa—with fingerprints in Sudan (RSF), Somalia, and threats toward Djibouti & Eritrea for sea access.
💥 But Here’s What Abiy & the World Should Know:
🛡️ Eritrea is UNIFIED like steel when it comes to defending its land.
🚀 Eritrea can CRUSH any military misadventure from a regime already cracking at the core.
🧠 Eritrea has LEVERAGE—from diplomatic allies to regional influence.
🌿 But above all: Eritrea prefers PEACE, not WAR.
⚠️ Message to the International Community:
👉 Don’t fall for Abiy’s false flag drama.
👉 He is the destabilizer, not Eritrea.
👉 The time has come to hold him accountable, not reward his warmongering.
🧨 If forced to act, Eritrea will:
💥 Defend its sovereignty.
💥 Break the back of the aggressor.
💥 END the cycle of threats — once and for all.

Excellent Read - #Eritrea Through UN Eyes: Impressions from a Southern Region Tour; by Mussie Efriem
"...This entire experience has been a truly wonderful opportunity to bring the UN team and our partners together, allowing us to witness just how much progress is happening in Eritrea, particularly in the realm of development"; UNRC, Ms Nahla Valji
*"...At the hospital we visited, we saw state-of-the-art facilities, from functional digital X-ray machines to even AI-powered X-ray machines. Of course, Asmara is the center, but strengthening and equipping hospitals around the peripheries with advanced facilities like this aligns with the Eritrean mandate of leaving no one behind. It’s about making sure that what is available in the center also reaches the hard-to-reach, making it very accessible to every Eritrean"; Dr. Nonso Epraim, WHO Acting Director
*"...the deepening of the partnership between the UN and the government, and the strong relationship that currently exists, is one takeaway. The second is something related to the vision of the country. The country really has a vision which has a sense of purpose. In addition to that, I believe the narration of the country must change. The narrative must change to tell the real, positive story of this country. This is why, going back, I’ll be an ambassador of Eritrea to tell what good resides here in terms of the people and in terms of the government’s vision to ensure that development reaches everybody. The third one is personal: that everything is possible when you believe in your purpose. I think this has been the spirit of Eritrea all over these years. They believed and were consistent on what they have believed and their purpose, and this is my personal takeaway"; Mr. Mathias Zana Naab, Director of UNDP Regional Service Center

In accordance with the provisions of Proclamation 137/2003, the GOE has disbursed, through monthly payments, around 6 billion Nakfa in aggregate for the continued welfare of Martyrs families - the fathers, mothers, sons and daughters of Eritrea's best sons and daughters who paid the ultimate price to assert and safeguard Eritrea's national independence and sovereignty.
In addition, various institutions and individuals at home and in the Diaspora have, and continue to make, significant donations and launch several initiatives to extend invaluable assistance to Martyrs families.

https://t.co/bmUSy2LGYH The credibility of the Special Rapporteur’s report is fundamentally compromised by its flawed methodology, which violates basic standards of impartiality and evidence.
The overreliance on anonymous testimonies sourced predominantly from anti-#Eritrea individuals and groups in the diaspora invites manipulation and cannot be independently verified, rendering the findings speculative at best.
Equally troubling is the failure to consider #Eritrea’s detailed national submissions to the Council since 2012, which were ignored in favor of unverified claims. The report relies heavily on secondary sources, particularly politicized #NGO reports with an open agenda against Eritrea, thereby further eroding its objectivity. Such procedural malpractice stands in direct violation of the Code of Conduct for Special Procedures Mandate-Holders (HRC Resolution 5/2), which requires transparency, impartiality, and cooperation with states concerned...

#Eritrea - A Tapestry of Triumph: A Celebration of Independence, Equality, and Inclusion; by Bana Negusse
"Diversity – whether in terms of race, religion, ethnicity, language, or culture – can be a powerful catalyst for the flourishing of new perspectives, the birth of innovative ideas, and the cultivation of creativity and dynamism. It often acts as a driving force behind progress, enriching communities, societies, and nations alike. However, history – at both the global level and even the continental and regional level – offers many sobering examples where diversity, if poorly managed or misunderstood, has instead fuelled societal fragmentation, discord, and at times, violent conflict".

Excellent Read - A Mandate Built on Politics, not Principle: Time for the Human Rights Council to Reassess #Eritrea; by Ambassador Sophia Tesfamariam
Incisive and timely analysis of the geopolitical backdrop; its flawed legal and ethical rationale; as well as the gross factual & fallacious basis that have characterized the UNHRC's manufactured narrative from its inception. Time to discard this outdated and unwarranted tool of witch-hunting and harassment of Eritrea!

Had the pleasure of welcoming H.E. Mr. Lamin B. Dibba, Permanent Representative of #Gambia, to @Eritrea_UN. Our discussion was both timely and substantive, as we reflected on the significance of #UN80 and the pivotal role of #Africa in advancing a more equitable, inclusive, and representative multilateral system.
We also explored concrete ways #Eritrea and #Gambia can work together to deepen engagement and foster meaningful cooperation across various @UN agencies and platforms. Strengthening #Africa|n solidarity and strategic coordination remains essential to ensure our voices are heard and our priorities addressed.

🇪🇷Eritrea’s Path Is Unmatched — A Revolution Before the Revolution! 🌍
🧭 While much of Africa is talking about Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger’s new course, Eritrea walked that path long ago — quietly, independently, and defiantly.
Unlike most post-colonial African states, Eritrea refused to be shaped by the West, NGOs, or Aid Industry. It pioneered a new model — one rooted in self-reliance, sacrifice, and sovereign pride.
🔥 Here’s why Eritrea’s story is DIFFERENT:
🔴 30 years of Liberation War — fought without help from the capitalist or socialist blocs. Both sides backed Ethiopia. Eritrea stood alone and WON.
🟠 Said NO to USAID & NGOs — Eritrea rejected dependency and chose a bold, self-reliant economic path.
🟡 Punished for Independence — Eritrea was hit with unjust sanctions, isolation & demonization simply for refusing to kneel.
🟣 Targeted for Strategic Depopulation — Yes, they wanted Eritrea to wither away. But we didn’t flinch.
🟢 They failed. Miserably. Eritrea stands tall.
🌱 But That’s Not the End — It’s the Beginning:
✅ Built ~700 dams to fight climate change & boost agriculture
✅ Free education & healthcare — across the nation
✅ No IMF or WB shackles — Eritrea defines its own model
✅ Feeding its people, expanding industry, building its future
✅ A proud, engaged Diaspora fueling the nation’s progress
💬 Eritrea didn’t ask for handouts. It asked to be left alone — and now, it’s proving its vision works.

📢🇪🇷Eritrea: The Bermuda Triangle for Ethiopian Imperial Armies! ⚠️Consider These TRUTHS Before It's Too Late!
🛑 Dear Ethiopians,
Your elites are lying to you — again.
They're fabricating a war you won’t return from.
Ask your fathers. Ask your soldiers.
They know what’s coming…
💣 Here’s the Bitter Truth:
🔴 Eritrea's EPLF crushed the mighty Derg land forces, air force and navy backed by Soviet weapons & intelligence
🟠 Mengistu fled into exile, his generals now lead Abiy’s shaky army (Field Marshal Jula & Co)
🟡 Abiy’s troops can’t defeat Shene or Fano — yet he dreams of war with Eritrea?
🟢 TDF nearly reached Addis — Eritrea saved the regime, look it up on YouTube
🟣 Eritrea will crush ANY aggression — no bluff, just history repeating
✌️ But Don’t Be Mistaken — Eritrea Stands for:
✅ Peace & regional stability
✅ Zero expansionist ambitions
✅ Respect for sovereignty
✅ Good neighborly ties — when respected
⚠️ Abiy wants war to stay in power. Not for Ethiopia — for himself.
🎯 Don’t be cannon fodder. Don’t fall for propaganda.
⚠️ DON'T BE A PAWN! ⚠️ This isn't your war. It’s a potential disaster you might not survive. Resist the propaganda. Listen to the voices of experience. Demand peace, not a path to destruction!

Good Read - Eid al-Adha and Religious Celebrations in #Eritrea: A Testament to Unity in Diversity; by Said Suleman
*Eid al-Adha, also known as the “Festival of Sacrifice,” is one of the most important holidays in the Islamic calendar. It commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son in obedience to Allah’s command. In Eritrea, Eid al-Adha is celebrated with great fervor and a profound sense of communal spirit.
* In a more broader context, religious celebrations in Eritrea transcend mere observance; they embody the nation’s commitment to inclusivity and mutual respect. Despite differences in faith, Eritreans celebrate their religious festivals with shared joy and understanding. This inclusive approach is deeply ingrained in the national consciousness and is evident in various aspects of life.
*Indeed, interfaith harmony is a distinguishing characteristic of Eritrean society. During major religious festivals, it is common for people of different faiths to extend heartfelt greetings and participate in each other’s celebrations. This mutual respect fosters a profound sense of solidarity and strengthens communal ties across religious lines.

Starting mid-May, many people profoundly feel the spirit of freedom on "Harnet" Avenue, Asmara, for Eritrean Independence Day. The celebrations are especially sensational for the children! Yesterday, I vividly witnessed their boundless joy, freely enjoying the moment.🇪🇷 #Eritrea
