Peoples Front: A Movement dedicated to the righteous cause of resisting forceful annexation: & it delivered #Eritrea’s statehood, inspiring other freedom fighters.
Peoples Front: first to endorse #Russia’s forceful annexation of #Crimea #Ukraine (2014) because it’s 🇺🇸 fault.

Green. Red. Yellow. 143-5-3. Even #China, #Russias alleged BFF, abstains, not cross all the way to crazy town to endorse forceful annexation: an anathema to #Eritrea|s recent birth pangs. The excuse is worse than the act: the devil (America) made #Russia do it. 
Look at the company we keep.

In another tweet which I will append below, I write about the dizzying diplomacy that #Eritrea #Sudan #Somalia #SouthSudan are going thru. Here, I am going to include momentous changes all happening at once. A New World Order?

“Last week, #SaudiArabia and #Iran announced that they would reëstablish diplomatic relations after seven years of severed ties. The two nations pledged to reopen their embassies and also agreed to begin coöperating in areas such as security and trade.”
(3) Then #SouthKorea and #Japan decided that focus on the future is more paramount than letting your interpretation of history keep u estranged for 12 yrs. #NorthKorea shot an ICBM to remind them yeah, we should meet.

1. Disclosure: I am on record as having said Statecraft is very hard. So critique of #Eritrea prez is within context of “statecraft is hard, but he makes it harder.” Let’s discuss today’s show (not interview) whose topics covered role of investment, including FDI, in economy.
2. Of the many levers used for economic development and which ones to prioritize, choosing is hard because everything is a priority in subsistence economies. Economics not being a hard science (and even its social science status being questionable) it’s a lot of trial and error.
3. In #Eritrea, it’s all trial and all error because this not-really-a-science field (economics) is at the mercy of another not-really-a-science field (politics) which, being authoritarian cronyism, is less capable of auto-correcting. For example:
At Qatar, in response to #Eritrean opposition leader Isaias Afwerki who keeps trashing all the achievement of his government, Ambassador Sophia outlines all of them. Speaking of Qatar…. shabait.com/2023/03/08/sta…
2010: After two years of denying it had any disputes with #Djibouti and getting sanctioned for its refusal to mediate the dispute, #Eritrea accepts Qatar mediation for its dispute with #Djibouti

Day 365 of #Russia's illegal war. A momentous day.
#Putin chose to invade #Ukraine after promising the world he would do no such thing.

1/12: Analysing politics in #Ethiopia is to try to capture a moving target. Our scholarly approach and understanding have over decades been "blunted" by the incessant fundamental political events happening every so often: large scale conflicts, mass atrocities, revolutions, etc.
2/12: This constant stream of political shocks has become a “normal”, leading to a heedless state of mind and blunting our methodological and analytical approaches and frames in understanding long durée political evolvement in #Ethiopia.
3/12: The developments over the past few years, should however be a wake-up call for us all. Throughout a turbulent history, some core metaphors and narratives have underpinned and projected a notion of this enduring historically imposed or imagined community called #Ethiopia.
"Ilhan Omar Is Not Mama Africa" . . . If you responded to @IlhanMN 's claim to be the voice of the continent on the House Africa committee, I might have quoted you here. Sorry I couldn't include everyone. #Somalia #Ethiopia #Eritrea #Rwanda #DRC blackagendareport.com/ilhan-omar-not…
There've been some problems with the Black Agenda Report @blkagendareport website in the past few days, but I hope they've been corrected or will be soon. Last I heard it was possible to get to the site from a phone or a Mac, but not from a PC.
Talking about trolling....🤡
What was the message??
It looked like more of the same pattern in regarding to lecturing about democracy, elections, freedom, religion and so on, all subjects you Americans are so proudly filling your mouth with.
Let's talk about it then..shall we?

Elections: You accuse #Eritrea of being a dictatorship because there hasn't been elections since independence.
Like in Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, UAE ...Vatican City!
All good friends of yours.
In all above, political parties r banned!

Religious freedom: in #Eritrea people are free to follow any religion they like, up and until those religion do not interfere with the Govt n State activities and they are legally registered as religious organisations.
Religion cannot be used as an excuse not to fulfil Ur duties

Why would #Eritrea launch a premeditated attack on territories and locations such as Badme, which are Eritrean territories??
Western version of history that never happened!!
Badme is #Eritrea !!
In May 1998 Eritrea took the step to clear it from #TPLFTerroristGroup occupation

Nice try to deflect the topic.
Nevertheless, as you brought it up:
Ethiopia was the aggressor as the war in 1998 happened because of #TPLFTerroristGroup border incursions during '97.
Obviously U take the flaring point on 12 May 1998 so to conveniently pont the finger at #Eritrea

The other 2, namely Djibouti n Yemen:
1st: in 1996 the Djibouti dictator lied in regards to an inexistent incursion by Eritrea while Petros Solomon, at the time foreign minister, was on official visit to the country.
The reality was the opposite, which dragged into 2018 events

All was about Djibouti trying to overcome the agreement made by France n Italy in 1935, and establish a status quo in regards to Ras Doumeira, an area that was given to Italy following the treaty signed & rectified in Rome.

@mrubin1971 @TheNatlInterest @AEIfdp 1. Problem with the likes of Mike Rubin is b/c people ignore their nonsense they think they are right. He writes “At one time, he [Isaias] also considered attacking #Somaliland in order to gain a port on the Red Sea.” He gets an F in geography. Somaliland is not on the Red Sea.
@mrubin1971 @TheNatlInterest @AEIfdp 2. Rubin writes “Isaias cares nothing about the #Eritrean people.” It’s outrageous. Mike Rubin a hired lobbyist is telling us he cares about #Eritrea more than the incorruptible, selfless servant leader, who gave more 3/4 of his life for his people and country!
@mrubin1971 @TheNatlInterest @AEIfdp 3. Rubin “Isaias’ rule depends in part on his ability to cut Eritreans off from the outside world.” WRONG! #Eritreans have more access to information than Rubin and his neocon friends allow Americans to have.
President Hassan Sheekh Mohamud visited the General Goordan base in Muqdisho today, where he met with the recently trained Somali National Armed Forces.
The President has ordered the troops to prepare for the fight against Al-Shabaab militants in an effort to reclaim the country. #Somalia #Khawaarij
In a show of support, the President greeted members of the National Guard and shared the hope of the government and Somali people to defeat the Al-Shabaab militants and reclaim the country.

"We made significant tangible progress across every one of our priorities this week," says @SecBlinken at conclusion of #USAfricaLeadersSummit.
America will not dictate Africa's choices but will work relentlessly to expand their choices of partnerships, says @SecBlinken.
Additional $1.1 billion to be invested by the US for rising leaders and youth in #Africa, notes @SecBlinken.

CPJ’s 2022 prison census has found 363 journalists deprived of their freedom as of December 1, 2022—the highest number CPJ has recorded in the 30-year history of the census, overtaking last year’s record by 20% & marking another grim milestone in a deteriorating media landscape.
In a year marked by conflict and repression, authoritarian leaders doubled down on their criminalization of independent reporting, deploying increasing cruelty to stifle dissenting voices and undermine #pressfreedom

Meet Ciham Ali Abdu…
She was arrested by #Eritrean authorities a decade ago.
⚠️ When she was 15.
Ciham has not been seen or heard from since then. She has never been charged with any offense.

Ciham has not been seen or heard from since then. She has never been charged with any offense.
The Eritrean regime’s outrageous actions seem to be some kind of political revenge against her father. He was information minister in 2012 but fell out with the president and fled the country.
Shortly after, Ciham – a dual US-Eritrean citizen – was arrested trying to escape.

#Eritrea has one of the world’s most appalling human rights records, and Ciham’s case is just one example.
1. On Dec. 4, 1939 In Ibrahim al-Mukhtar was appointed as Mufti for #Eritrea. Although #Italian Adm. suggested to bring an Islamic cleric from #Libya to take charge of Islamic affairs, local leaders rejected the idea & pushed for the appointment of Shiek Ibrahim al-Mukhtar.
2. In 1969 Sheik Ibrahim al-Mukhtar passed away due to illness but then Governor Asrate Kassa refused to appoint any of the Muslim community's nominees for Mufti, and the Derg continued this policy until 1991.
Very disturbing news from Adigrat #Tigray - according to the Eastern Zone Social Affairs Office there has been a continuing influx of IDPs on a daily basis from the nearby weredas namely Gulomekeda, Zalambessa, Erob, and Ganta-Afeshum .
In addition, it says, there are new arrivals from the central and North Western zones of #Tigray. Some of the IDPs are former returnees to their places of origin and forced to displace again due to the newly erupted armed conflict.
As a result, Adigrat now hosts newly displaced people which accounts up to 142,426 according a latest report of the Eastern zone administration office in Adigrat #Tigray
November 20 in the #History of #Eritrea.
1. On Nov. 20 1989, #EPLF & the #Ethiopian gov/Derg began peace talks in #Nairobi, #Kenya under the auspices of @CarterCenter & by the invitation of President Arap Moi of Kenya. The peace talks lasted until November 29.

2. At Nairobi Peace talks, they agreed on 3 issues that weren't agreed upon in #Atlanta, cleared the way for substantive negotiations, agreed to invite ex #Tanzanian Pres. Nyerere to be co-host wz Carter during the main talks & the 2 agreed to choose the sec & support staff.
Since the signature of permanent cessation of hostilities in Pretoria by the #Ethiopian Govt and #TPLF/ #EDF // #GovtofTigray (1 if them, or either 1 of them, or all of them or none of them), there has been a continuous concerted effort by elements against peace, particularly..
..in the Tegarus camp in diaspora (and not only), and within the so-called analysts, journos n anti-🇪🇷 elements, to spread a narrative that #Eritrea is inside Tigray, going deeper, occupying territories n committing all sort of crimes.
All without a single tangible proof...

Well now, if you read about what the western puppets and #TPLFTerroristGroup supporters are writing, you'll notice a shift to Wolkait & focus against #Eritrea and #Amhara. Just like they attempt to break apart the #NoMore movement, now the attempt is to separate #Amhara from 1/3
#Ethiopia. They have already been working to create wages between @AbiyAhmedAli & #Amhara by pretending to be #Amhara & spreading poison. Now, they are accusing #Amhara of atrocities in Axum stating the "Claim on western Tigray is for the purpose of Genocide" The west has not 2/3
changed a bit. #Ethiopians need to understand the plot, be wise, be united, & plan for a long-term fight to change the game against the enemy. It is time to save the poor in Tigray from the vicious enemies working day & night to turn it into a currency in the new conflict. 3/3
