Welcomed H.E. Mr. Odo Tevi, PR of #Vanuatu to @Eritrea_UN and we discussed developments in our respective regions, ongoing processes @UN. #Eritrea and #Vanuatu, though located in different regions of the world, share several common climate-related vulnerabilities as coastal and island-oriented developing countries. Both face the growing threat of sea-level rise, which endangers coastal communities, marine ecosystems, fisheries, and critical infrastructure. Island territories and coastal populations are increasingly exposed to erosion, flooding, and environmental degradation linked to climate change. Both countries also face mounting challenges related to water security, food production, and climate resilience. #Eritrea experiences irregular rainfall, while #Vanuatu is highly vulnerable to cyclones and storm surges. In both cases, climate change places pressure on #agriculture, #fisheries, and rural livelihoods, while increasing the cost of protecting infrastructure and adapting to environmental shocks. At the international level, #Eritrea and #Vanuatu share a common concern regarding climate justice. Despite contributing minimally to global greenhouse gas emissions, both countries face disproportionate climate impacts and therefore advocate for stronger international cooperation, climate finance, technology transfer, and support for adaptation and resilience...building within the multilateral system. Will continue to engage and exchange information as we jointly address these and other issues of importance .

Education: The Bedrock of #Eritrea’s Development and Social Justice; by Habtom Tesfamichael (Paraphrased from Interview with Dr. Halima Mohammed, the Minister of Education) *"...Significant achievements have been recorded over the past 35 years. The student population has grown from approximately 200,000 at independence to around 800,000 today. Schools have been constructed across the country, national curricula have been developed in all Eritrean languages, and ongoing efforts are being made to strengthen the teaching force by creating opportunities to enhance their qualifications". *"...Nevertheless, important challenges persist. To address these challenges, the Ministry is focusing on expanding access, particularly in lowland and remote areas; reforming curricula to strengthen vocational pathways; improving teacher recruitment, training, and working conditions; decentralizing operations; strengthening research and evidence-based planning; modernizing schools with ICT, virtual labs, and digital libraries; and enhancing parental and community involvement. Greater investment in boarding facilities, laboratories, and teaching materials is also underway". *"...As Eritrea marks 35 years of independence, its education system reflects both impressive progress and a clear determination to overcome remaining obstacles. The experience accumulated and the foundation built during these decades provide renewed hope and confidence. With sustained commitment, increased investment, and focused reforms, education will continue to serve as the very soul of the nation’s march toward social justice, harmony, and rapid development". shabait.com/2026/05/13/edu…

Clean hands are shields against disease, especially in the classroom. 🧼 Handwashing with soap can reduce: 📉 Diarrheal diseases by up to 48% 📉 Respiratory infections by 20% By promoting hand hygiene in schools, we’re reducing absenteeism & keeping children healthy. @FredHollows

The U.S. Embassy in Eritrea proudly marked Freedom 250 on May 7 with friends and colleagues.

The celebration, blessed with beautiful rains, was graced by Guest of Honor Foreign Minister Osman Saleh, along with government officials, diplomats, partners, alumni, and friends. #Eritrea #USA

Eritrea’s geographical location makes it highly vulnerable to drought and desertification. Hence, the Government and people of Eritrea made soil and water conservation, and construction of water reservoirs, among their top priorities. shabait.com/2026/05/08/wat…

The Eritrean people gained and maintained their independence through resilience and endurance. They are now entering a new era of getting rewarded for their endurance and sacrifice. Eritreans did not succumb to the countless sufferings but instead sufferings caused them to build endurance and strength, which form the unshakable national character.. 🇪🇷 #EritreaShineAt35 #Our_Resilience_Our_Guarantee #ጽንዓትና_ዋሕስና #ERITREA
