Economist Michael Hudson explains how US debt and African debt are fundamentally different, and how the US, IMF and World Bank deliberately keep Africa poor.

This is not Somaliland secessionists, this is #Yemen celebration like Independence after United Arab Emirates UAE expelled from Yemen #Somalia 🇸🇴 deserves the same. Somalia will not be a battlefield for foreigners. Somalia first. Unity always

Eritrea remains proudly #Poliofree! Thanks to strong leadership and high immunization coverage, no child in Eritrea has suffered from polio for years. UNICEF and its government partners continue to support efforts to sustain this hard-won success. #EndPolio #WorldPolioDay @gavi

The more the white man attacks Eritrea the more Eritreans show up for their country with Stockholm Festival straining at the seams with Eritreans like never before? Damn, and we missed it, again!

Things I Want to Hear from President Isaias Afwerki: * A clear announcement on the full commencement of private investments. * Plans for widespread housing construction. * Confirmation of the national service duration returning to 18 months. * Details on the safe return of Eritrean immigrants, especially those suffering in Ethiopia. * When President Isaias first recognized Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's dishonesty. Things I Do Not Want to Hear from President Isaias Afwerki: * Discussions about how the TPLF governed Ethiopia. * Arguments on why federalism is detrimental to Ethiopia. * Statements implying Eritrea should not remain silent while Ethiopia collapses. * Proposals for Eritrea to assist Somalia, Sudan, or other nations.

Happy birthday Eritrea 🇪🇷

Making peace with the people of Tigray is a no-brainer - geography alone demands it. But staging political theatrics with those truly responsible for the devastation not only in Eritrea and the region but also against the people of Tigray is nothing short of a clown show. What’s missing is accountability. Again and again, we repeat the same mistake. When Abiy Ahmed came to power, peace was declared without a foundation - no one was held accountable. Not even "Sorry". How can we expect respect if they know they can always get away with murder? We are simply repeating the same failures and expecting different results - which, by definition, is nothing but madness. Let me remind you of what the President said in his most recent interview: "After declaring an aimless war; plunging innocent people into a quagmire; causing huge loss of life and property; squandering much opportunity; should not there be due accountability? What does this mean?  (Instead of admitting their guilt), they are looking for cover and shifting the blame to others. This is not admissible. There has to be a day when this question has to be raised. Those that are responsible have to be held accountable. It is not just about the three rounds of TPLF’s military adventures. The destruction and loss of opportunity meted out to the Eritrean people for 30 long years without accountability cannot be downplayed or shrugged off." This is the right approach for lasting peace - anything else is just self-deception. That said, there’s a glaring double standard at play here. What about the Eritreans who are behind bars for collaborating with the TPLF? Shouldn’t they be granted amnesty first - before people like Stalin sip cappuccinos in Asmara? Many of Awel’s megaphones need to do some soul-searching. Forgiveness and peace must begin at home. Ohh, call it ጽምዶ or simply a peace initiative - it must be rooted in respect for Ethiopia’s sovereignty, without falling into the trap of Ethiopia’s political games that have brought nothing but chaos to themselves. We are better than that. We don't have to play snaky backward politic games. Yes, a peace initiative with the people of Ethiopia is essential - but it must be built on diplomacy, not propaganda, on mutual respect, not provocation. And above all, it must not fuel division or hatred among the people of Eritrea. So I'll pass on this one, but I sincerely hope it doesn’t go wrong.

@TravelToEritrea @StalinTeklu Awel claims that the border closed because TPLF started smuggling drugs etc around Asmara, is he so confident that it won't be a reason to close it again? No one else destroyed the peace but Stalin and his owner TPLF

I have never seen @StalinTeklu relax like this in Asmara since I started watching him on YouTube. Awel deserves praise for creating bridges between the Eritrean and Tigrayan people.

On #WorldHealthDay, UNICEF congratulates the Government of the State of Eritrea on its commendable achievements in child health! A perfect example is that 95% of children under five are fully vaccinated. Together, we're paving the way for a healthier future! #ChildHealth

#Eritrea in Numbers: Area- 124,759 sq. km Occupies 50% of the #RedSea Coast Mainland coastline - 3300km Island coastline - 1950km, 354 Island Territorial water area - 55000 sq. km EEZ- 120,000 sq. km Continental Shelf- 56000 sq. km Maximum Sustainable Yield- 86,000 tones.

@hawelti @StateDept unfairly placed #Eritrea on its list of "Countries of Particular Concern" since 2005. #Eritrea|s exemplary culture of #ethnic & #religious tolerance & respect has been misrepresented to advance ulterior agendas. @POTUS must stop this 20 yr long witch-hunt/harassment

USAID-FREE ERITREA DOING BETTER THAN RECIPIENT AFRICAN COUNTRIES Here’s some useful information if you’re weighing in on the debate over whether the recent USAID cuts are a blessing or a curse. One African country that kicked out USAID in 2005 seems to be in better shape - at least by certain key measures - than some of those that still entertain the agency. Eritrea has built without begging, forcing its people to innovate, adapt and rely on African solutions. Could the rest of Africa learn from Eritrea’s model?

"ኤርትራ፡ ምስ ኢትዮጵያ ይኹን ሃገራት ናይ'ዚ ዞባ እትገብሮ ዝምድናታት ይኹን ስምምዓት፡ ንልኡላውነታን መሬታዊ ሓድነታን፡ ከምኡ'ውን ባሕራውን ኣየራውን ግዝኣታ፡ ዘኽብርን ኣብ ንጹር ኣህጉራዊ ሕጋጋትን ኣገባባትን እተመርኮሰ እዩ"

The Pancea does not Lie in Externalizing the Conflict or Scapegoating Eritrea In classical fashion, Ethiopia’s former figure-head President, Mr. Mulatu Teshome, raises a false-flag alarm to accuse Eritrea for stoking a “new conflict in the Horn of Africa”. Audacious claim is precisely intended to conceal and rationalize a war-mongering agenda. The facts are otherwise crystal-clear: 1. Contrary to distorted historical accounts that Mr. Mulatua attempts to project, Eritrea and Ethiopia went to war in 1998 precisely because the TPLF-led Ethiopian regime occupied sovereign Eritrean territories - including Badme, Adi Murug and other places - in flagrant violation of international law and the OAU cardinal principle on the sanctity of colonial boundaries. 2. Even after the costly war, Ethiopia continued to defy international law and occupy sovereign Eritrean territories in breach of the Arbitral EEBC Award for twenty long years. Mulatua endorsed – even if his authority was arguably nominal - the violation of international law as well as the “regime change” agendas of regional destabilization of the Melles regime during his Presidency in those times (2013-2018). 3. Eritrea normalized ties with Ethiopia in 2018 when the Abiy Government publicly announced its readiness for the full and unequivocal acceptance and implementation of the EEBC Award of 2002. Eritrea reciprocated in good-faith and worked in earnest to foster and nurture good-neighbourly ties with Ethiopia on the basis of full respect of each other’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. 4. But soon, Ethiopia was embroiled in a deadly conflict with its Tigray region when the latter unleashed what was widely termed as a War of Insurrection on the night of 3 November 2020. Eritrea gave sanctuary to the contingent of the Ethiopian Northern Command who escaped from coordinated and massive assaults in the TPLF “blitzkrieg”. The TPLF’s war plans also included massive and phased attacks on Eritrea. 5. Eritrea’s involvement in the imposed war was dictated by these circumstances as well as the request of the Ethiopian Government. Shameful and unconscionable acts of backstabbing aside, the Ethiopian Government and its Defense establishments officially and publicly paid tribute to Eritrea’s indispensable role during Ethiopia’s dark days. 6. As underlined in previous occasions, the Pretoria Agreement is an exclusive matter for the Ethiopian Government and its internal protagonists. Eritrea has neither the interest nor the appetite to obstruct or tamper with a purely internal Ethiopian affair. 7. Indeed, Eritrea duly re-deployed its troops within its internationally recognized sovereign borders. Still, those who never accepted the EEBC Arbitral Award in good-faith, or harbour some intent in fomenting conflict, have and continue to peddle false allegations of Eritrean troop presence in “the border areas”— apparent euphemisms/references to Badme and other similar territories. 8. The ill-intent and provocations have not been confined to these acts only. For reasons that are difficult to fathom, the Ethiopian Federal Government has unleashed, in the past months, an intensive and unwarranted campaign of provocation against Eritrea through its “thinly-veiled” agenda of acquiring ports and maritime land “legally if possible and militarily if necessary”. 9. The commotion and disquiet precipitated by Ethiopia’s opaque MOU with “Somaliland” remains another element of regional tension. Ethiopia is also embroiled in another vicious internal war in the Amhara Region. 10. In a nutshell, the myriad problems besetting the region stem and find their fulcrum in Ethiopia; not elsewhere. And the panacea does not lie in externalizing the conflict or scapegoating Eritrea.

Fatinga? BLASH!
