🚨🗣 Egypt's Coach Hossam Hassan couldn't control himself after full-time:

"I will say what's on my mind regardless of the consequence, this was clearly a rigged match and the whole world saw it"

"And I want to say one more thing, if they want them [Argentina] to win so bad, why call everyone to come and participate?"

Wedi Comboni on Tewelde Redda’s “Seb Mukhane”

“The song acts as a mirror to our collectve conscience, highlighting the paradox that defines human morality: we often turn a blind eye to our neighbors’ suffering, neglect acts of kindness, and remain indifferent in life—yet when death arrives, we weep, and tear our hair as if we had truly cared .”

@saayEritrea Great piece as always @saayEritrea ! Really liked all the points, debunking their nonsense 👏🏾

Finding out via Questlove that Geto Heaven Part Two was originally meant to be on D'Angelo's Voodoo and featuring Lauryn Hill??

D'Angelo and Common swapped songs because D'Angelo couldn't stand the thought of Common having a funkier song than him (Chicken Grease)

Thank you London 🥹

@PatrickHeinisc1 On the contrary! This is inaccurate info.
Abiy and his govt officials have heightened their aggression towards #Eritrea|n sovereignty.

Unfortunately, Abiy Ahmed is an Imperial Ethiopian expansionist w/ fairytale ambitions to steal Eritrea’s port Asseb against international law

[ዘካርያስ ገሪማ @ZecariasG]

This is true. However, during external aggression, most Eritreans prioritize repelling the intruder before addressing their rights. Each time an Ethiopian entity declares aggression against Eritrea, tyranny is prolonged. No one will oppose it while it commands armies fighting the invader. In many eyes, it may even regain lost legitimacy. For example, your misguided, unprincipled and poorly informed activism in support of PP’s threats to invade my country contributes to everyone focusing on the outside threat.

[Feven Yemane @FevenYemaney]

International coverage of speech emphasised #Abbiy request for mediation. But in his parliament speech he added mediation will not resolve Red Sea issue. Confused? Anyone with English translation about his comments re Eritrea post it. Let's annoy his PR team.

@SamuelTsegai1 Thank you Samuel🙏🏾. The audacity of these fanatics is unreal. How is it that for 30 years they were doing fine- economically growing without a port… now all of a sudden it’s their biggest problem and priority

Our most basic freedoms are being dismantled by a Labour government

On behalf of a genocidal settler colony 2,000 miles away with a population smaller than London

Even Orwell could not have written this plot line

[Zara @zaratewolde]

@addisstandard Absolute madness! It’s a real shame that Abiy Ahmed did not learn from his expansionist Ethiopian predecessors.

Absolute madness! It’s a real shame that Abiy Ahmed did not learn from his expansionist #Ethiopia|n predecessors… #Eritrea

[Addis Standard @addisstandard]

News: #ENDF says denying #Red_Sea and #Assab Port claim amounts to “banditry”

Addis Abeba – The #Ethiopian National Defense Forces (ENDF) said that any attempt to deny Ethiopia’s claim over the Red Sea and the Port of Assab “cannot have a water-tight rationale other than banditry.”

In a statement released on its official Facebook page on Saturday, 27 September 2025, the army described the Red Sea and Assab Port issue as “the pain of our Ethiopia for over three decades,” which, it said, has “diminished the honor of [Ethiopia’s] nationhood and obstructed its geopolitical national interest.”

The ENDF further stated that the official raising of the Red Sea question at the international level “has filled Ethiopian soldiers, who would not hesitate for a second to pay any sacrifice for the realization of our Ethiopia’s national interest, with immense joy.”

The statement comes amid heightened tensions between Ethiopia and #Eritrea regarding Ethiopia’s access to the Red Sea and its claim over the Port of Assab.

Ethiopian officials have repeatedly underscored the country’s need for seaport access. Prime Minister #Abiy Ahmed, during the launch of his fourth book Medemer Mengist (The Government of Synergy), said: “Any Ethiopian who thinks Ethiopia will forever remain a prisoner of geography is a dead person.”

Reports claim planeloads of Colombians are landing in Bosaso on Ethiopian Airlines, only to be swiftly moved onto military aircraft bound for Sudan. Almost every Addis–Bosaso flight now reportedly carries Colombians.

Al Jazeera found the RAF had flown 47% of all surveillance flights over Gaza during the genocide

More than double Israel itself

British ministers—both Tory and Labour—need to be investigated and, I believe, charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity

[Matt Kennard @kennardmatt]

Keir Starmer sent a UK spy plane over Gaza for Israel every day from 3 July to 25 July

But there hasn't been one for 3 days now

Could it be because a BBC journalist finally asked David Lammy about the planes last week?

This was the first time in 20 months that a UK minister has been questioned by media about them

Lammy, caught off-guard, had to lie. Now they've stopped

Once again: establishment journalists are complicit in the genocide. By refusing to cover British participation in the annihilation of Gaza they have ensured it has continued for nearly two years
