It's easy to be enthusiastic and engaged when things are exciting, but real loyalty is demonstrated when you're willing to persist the effort even when it becomes tedious, or repetitive, or even when you face apathy or hostility from others.

“The tensions suggest that another war could be in the offing, leading observers to call for calm and suggest solutions for a peaceful ending to the saga. One analyst proposes a territory swap: the border town of Badme [in #Eritrea] for the port of Assab [also in Eritrea]” thereporterethiopia.com/48207/ Another brilliant analyst from #Ethiopia.

Abiy Takes His Case to the Permanent Court of Souped Up History To try to explain how far back Ethiopia’s sense of ownership about the Red Sea goes to, this Eritrean Digest article had said it goes back to the D’MT Kingdom (10th century BCE to the 5th century BCE), a maritime power which controlled the Red Sea. eritreadigest.com/eritrean-histo… “Because everybody knows of Aksumite domination of the Red Sea,” Abiy explained, with an Apple laptop, and a PowerPoint presentation, to his audience at the Prosperity Party, eager to play pupil with pen on pad. “Let’s go back to era of the Land of Punt.” That’s 3rd millennium BCE to 10th century BCE. Land of Punt is Ethiopia, you are asking. It turns out, as Abiy explained, “it has always been Ethiopia. It may be Ethiopia plus the West, plus the Northeast, or the East.”, he explained as the PowerPoint flashed images. All previous civilizations of the Horn are Ethiopia+ Images accompanied by the logic of “if part of Ethiopia was part of the kingdom, then that kingdom is all Ethiopia’s now” were on the big screen as the assembled delegates took notes. That is called መደመር። To expand the present you must expand the past. History buffs among you might say “The capital city of Land of Punt was Adulis, Eritrea; and the capital city of D’mt was Yeha, Tigray. An independent State, and a region being pushed to strive for independence”, but that’s all irrelevant. Because, alas for Abiy and his sovereign sea ambitions, there is no Permanent Court of History. Just of law. Just the UN , which holds a map of Eritrea’s common border with Ethiopia. Actually 45 maps (at 1:25,000 scale) and a detailed annex listing 146 boundary points (BPs) with UTM grid and geographical coordinates. All now part and parcel of international law. The maps were issued on November 27, 2009, four years after EEBC gave up on physical demarcation (due to Ethiopian non compliance.) Ethiopia then protested: there is no such thing as “virtual demarcation”, and the EEBC said “oh yes there is. How do you think UNCLOS demarcates Seas? “ Ethiopia is not a prisoner of geography. But it is a prisoner of some souped up history. And until the fever breaks, I think the lecture will be in session, as Ethiopia talks to itself.

For those who are actually interested in words and their meanings, and we should on matters as grave as war: 1. The word Isaias Afwerki used to describe the change of the #Eritrea-#Ethiopia war mission in #Tigray from defeat of #TPLF to peace agreement with TPLF was ተኾሊፉ (interrupted) 2. In March 2025, Ethiopian General Tsadkan changed “ተኾሊፉ”to “ተኾሊፍና”in an article he wrote predicting that Eritrea and Ethiopia have made their final war preparations. The article was in English so he offered a translation for the word: “we have been frustrated.” theafricareport.com/378644/tigray-… 3. Kibrom repeats it 4. Hermela quotes it.

Go to the 0.53 mark. Take a listen to that Ahaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Thats the signature note in the distinctive voice of Berekhet Mengisteab. ኣብ ትሕቲ ገራጅና ፋኑስ ተወሊዓየ! He passed on today, at age of 89, in beloved Asmara, #Eritrea. And songs like these was why he was known as the best gwayla musician—whether playing his Oud or Krar. I read somewhere that his discography has 300 songs. In the early 1970s there was some artistic burst in Eritrea, with a pushback towards rulers who wanted to impose their language and legend. Came forth Berekhet, Osman, Haile , Alamin, Yemane, Tewelde, Xehaitu, Yonus, Teberh, Engineer, and those are just those on the tip of my tongue. So many more. They were our own Motown: you can’t think of one without thinking of the others. They all had hidden words of protest against Ethiopian occupation or in support of the Eritrean revolution and its insignia. Or so we insisted: Meley (Berekhet), Fatma Zahra (Alamin.) It didn’t matter that Alamin later on told us there really was a woman named Fatna Zahra that he fancied. Yemane Barya was less subtle: Wedebat Adey. Osman told the “renters” to behave. That was also during the brief interlude in the lives of Eritreans when they could hire a lawyer to court and the government could drop charges for lack of evidence. I had just gotten to appreciate this soundtrack to my childhood (like actually be old enough to witness adults dancing to it) beginning my long love affair with music. And rebellion, of course. Mengistu came and all our artists, all of them, joined our Fronts, or were exiled or both. Some returned home, some didn’t. Berekhet’s journey followed that forced migration: ELF, exile, return to Eritrea. Rest in peace youtu.be/tnSgZ8M2Klo?si…

This lady keeps bringing her expired coupon to redeem it for a coastline. Lady, Ethiopia had access to sea for 39 years only (1952-1991) in the last 400 years. Ethiopia having Sea was the exception not the rule, an exception imposed by US, UK and France.
Bikiltu Mosisa@BikiltuMosisa1

Red Sea was part of Ethiopia’s sovereign territory just three decades ago. Geography, economy, and security demand what history once provided. A sea outlet for #Ethiopia is vital; a necessity, not a luxury. #RedSea #HornOfAfrica #Ethiopia #RedSea #HornOfAfrica @_AfricanUnion
