We are, as every year, approaching the 24th May, a date in the #Eritrean calendar that means the beginning of a new phase in the fight for independence.
That day, in 1993, was set to recognise the official establishment of 🇪🇷 as the new country following 30 years of struggle...
... to free the land from colonialism once and for all.
But that didn't mean the complete end of the struggle.
24 May 1993 was the beginning of the fight to keep #Eritrea free, sovereign, independent n democratic.
Those are not just words: the meanings are much more than that.
In the Western world, those words are misused to set a line between democracy and dictatorship, as if none of them had to go through a struggle before gaining freedom, another misused word.
What is freedom? Is it being able to do whatever I want? Whenever I want?
#Eritrea
Let's begin with all the fuss about the blue shirt 👕 Muppets and their beloved strategic planning session in regards to have all countries around the world banning the Eritrean festivals, close all embassies, make the collection of the 2% rehabilitation tax illegal
It is not the first time, and it will not be the last, that those actions are taken against the #Eritrean Govt but mostly against its own people.
It is a part and parcel of a pattern taken by those who decided to demonise Eritrea day in day out.
This round they are using Russia, trans_whatever_BS, fictional #Eritrean military wings in Europe, and who knows what else's.
It's actually funny to see them all excited about their behaviour, comparable only to kids when they obtain candy from the nun.
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
..and it's only because YOU didn't HV ave the balls to recognise who was the real culprit (#TPLF started infiltrating into #Eritrean territories by moving Tigrayans n their belongings into Badme n it's environs since 1996) that eventually they invaded #Eritrea
And you know well that if it wasn't for YOU n your intelligence support to Meles & Co, #TPLF was getting ready to be completely wiped out inside #Eritrea, as it's military forces where getting near Keren without realising they were going to be surrounded n closed by the back.
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.
Djibouti used a non exchange of documents are the time
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...
..Just accusations, allegations, innuendos, and a continuation of fake news aimed principally at making sure the peace accord doesn't go ahead.
The idea of having to disarm n dissolve as a paramilitary force, to be still part of #Ethiopia, to relinquish the dream of being..
