There is a good reason - a very justifiable reason - for people to be unapologetically & very vocally anti-USFP in the Horn of Africa. The United States of Sanctions & Chaos will do everything in its power to keep our countries divided & in a constant state of subservience.
Read this 👇🏿 arrogant briefing. Pay attention to the deliberate sequencing of questions. Read between the lines. Notice how Nairobi is given more value than Pretoria. Zoom in on every statement, said & unsaid. If this doesn't convince you, nothing will.

The "observer" isn't interested in promoting peace, stability, cooperation, development, etc. It doesn't intend to support the people. It certainly won't stop its destructive meddling. It wants a spineless 🇪🇹. It wants a suffocated 🇪🇷. It wants spoilers to reign. Plain & simple.
Obviously, not surprising - anyone who knows how US bullying/hypocrisy works knows that it never intended to be a force for good. Come on, if it did, it would've amplified the peace of 2018, & Nov. 2020 would've never happened. Point is this: keep saying #NoMore louder than ever.
It seems relevant to pin this 👇🏿 here because for some odd reason we still have people who don't get that this is about the whole region. It's about creating wide enough cracks between our countries that allows them, the "gardners", room to manipulate.

The Independent 🇪🇷 story turns 32yrs this May 24.

It's a story that has countless chapters that have yet to be adequately documented.

It's a story of a principled leadership driven by the pursuit of equity & social justice - not just for its own people but humanity at large.
It's a story of a people denied, again and again, the opportunity to live in peace.

It's a story of a struggle to exist outside the constricting diktat reserved for Africans and Afro-descendants.

It's a fascinating tale of determination, resilience, & a commitment to truth.
It's a story that Africa would & should be proud of…

…if only it believed in the untapped & endless capacity & ingenuity of its children.

…if only it feared dependency as much as it feared those who deliberately keep it dependent while depending on it for their own survival.

TPLF went on a narrative-control offensive one day before it slaughtered Ethiopians in their sleep in Nov 2020. It's now, again, on a narrative-control offensive as it tries to project its own heinous crimes on others.

...and all of this with the help of its US/West godfathers.
The coordination isn't lost on you, is it? Proof that TPLF has always been a neocolonial tool with no agency of its own. Its role is to facilitate US/West control of this region. It used Tigray as cannon fodder. It slaughtered Amhara & Afar. It worked to suffocate Eritrea.
How do people respond is the question?

Salivate for int'l intervention knowing full well a judge stained in blood will never deliver a fair ruling OR reaffirm our commitment to African power/solutions & reclaim the call for transitional justice, which includes accountability?

...a new PR strategy just dropped courtesy of TPLF'ites: the politicization of transitional justice.
As Ethiopia says, "yes, of course", they're saying "no, can't happen within a national framework" 🤦🏿‍♀️

Begs the question...why?

I guess they're banking on their US godfather to squeeze in ample space for goalpost shifting & loopholes...
...and the biggest guarantee of all: shape-shifting of victim/aggressor...

So predictable.

If there was a way to measure resilience in the face of colossal amounts of provocation/hostility - lasting decades - Eritreans would break the scales. Young, old, women, men - Eritreans have paid dearly - patiently waiting for a time when insecurity/war is a thing of the past...
...but this skewed world only sees what empire wants it to see, never the complete picture, never context, never sequence of events. This is exactly why the narrative is hurriedly being reframed now. Those who committed unforgivable atrocities over decades are painted as victims.
While Eritreans dance/ululate in relief, celebrating their children who've paid the ultimate price, dreaming of a time of peaceful coexistence, TPLF'ites & their cheerleaders continue to flood the airwaves with falsehoods & omissions that would shame the devil...

Hammer represents the "gardners" who've tried everything under the sun to control, silence, & had it been possible, erase Eritrea. This country has defied all odds & challenged every imperialist maneuvering. Added bonus? Ethiopians saying #NoMore & refusing to UNsee the truth!
In his first interview after the signing of the Joint Declaration of Peace & Friendship between 🇪🇷 & 🇪🇹 Pres Isaias placed this new period (post 2018) in a broad/historical context, which includes the now *failed* hegemonic plans (via TPLF) for the Horn of Africa...
He broke down the past 8 decades into 4 stretches of time. Understanding each stretch is crucial to appreciating the sacrifices paid, opportunities lost, resilience needed to endure, & strength/lessons gained. As long as we, 🇪🇷🇪🇹, keep saying #NoMore, there's no way back ✊🏿

There's an elephant in the room that they're ignoring (perhaps deliberately sidelining?). So many questions. For one, if biased powers ("guarantors") from faraway continents are invited to the table, why isn't 🇪🇷 who has been the victim of these "guarantors" & their HoA lackey?
I don't think anyone can truly understand just how hungry Eritreans are for peace. For proof, look back at images from 2018 - openly embracing Ethiopians; looking/planning forward; actively shifting their energy from doubt & imposed wars to peaceful coexistence & shared growth...
At the same time, however, Eritreans have grown extremely weary of & understandably distrustful of "global" powers that prioritize their own geopolitical interests over regional peace/stability, as well as over development frameworks that anchor the longterm wellbeing of people!!
