Today 29 April, 26. The embassy of Eritrea in Libya has successfully facilitated the release of additional 16 citizens from Libyan detention center. Great job 🤝 @shabait

Welcomed H.E. Mr. Dag Hartelius, Deputy Foreign Minister of Sweden, to @Eritrea_UN. Our discussions included the #UN80 initiative and its various workstreams, highlighting the need for a more effective, coherent, and responsive @UN in addressing today’s global challenges. The initiative seeks to streamline mandates, improve coordination across the system, and address long-standing structural imbalances, including questions of representation, accountability, and equitable voice for Member States. The upcoming third phase will be critical, as it is expected to advance structural changes at the core of the @UN system. Without genuine political will, however, reform risks remaining aspirational, undermining the Organization’s credibility and effectiveness. We also exchanged views on developments in the #Horn region. Respect for the sovereign rights and territorial integrity of states remains fundamental to peace, stability, and security. The international community must not allow impunity to take root and should act early, before crises escalate and irreversible damage is done. This engagement builds on the recent meeting in #Eritrea with the Foreign Minister and provided a valuable opportunity to sustain dialogue and further strengthen #Eritrea-#Sweden bilateral relations.

Delighted to receive at @Eritrea_UN my colleague, H.E. Mr. Giorgio Marrapodi, Permanent Representative of #Italy to the @UN. In these challenging times, exchanging views across the multilateral system is essential to deepen our understanding of global issues and their impact on different regions. We also discussed #Eritrea-#Italy relations and prospects for enhanced economic engagement. We agreed to work closely @UN in a spirit of cooperation and mutual support and explore avenues to enhance our bilateral ties.

The State of #Eritrea 🇪🇷 and the Republic of #Trinidad and #Tobago 🇹🇹 have formally established diplomatic relations, marking a significant step in strengthening ties between #Africa and the #Caribbean. The agreement was signed today at the Permanent Mission of Trinidad and Tobago to the UN @TTUNMission by H.E. Sophia Tesfamariam @AmbStesfamariam on behalf of #Eritrea, and H.E. Neil Parson on behalf of #Trinidad and #Tobago. The establishment of diplomatic relations reflects the shared commitment of both countries to deepen cooperation within the #UnitedNations, and other multilateral platforms. The signing paves the way for enhanced collaboration in areas of mutual interest, including political dialogue, economic cooperation, and cultural exchange. #Eritrea and #Trinidad& #Tobago underscored the importance of South-South cooperation and solidarity among developing countries, noting that this milestone opens new avenues for bilateral engagement. The signing ceremony concluded with both representatives reaffirming their commitment to fostering friendly relations and exploring opportunities for collaboration in international forums. 🇪🇷🇹🇹

Press Statement Mischaracterizations Surrounding Prospects for Eritrea-United States #Rapprochement The #Embassy of the State of #Eritrea in Washington, D.C. takes note of the recent article published by The Wall Street Journal on prospects for resetting relations between Eritrea and the United States. While the article acknowledges Eritrea's strategic importance in the #Horn of #Africa and the #RedSea corridor, it advances selective narratives with the evident intention of undermining the timely opportunity for constructive engagement. Indeed, and in the same vein, certain, self-styled, pundits have subsequently reverted to alarmist interpretations across media and social platforms, recycling discredited claims and attempting to cast unwarranted doubt on any positive trajectory in Eritrea-U.S. relations. Such commentaries are neither objective nor constructive; essentially, they represent hired lobbyist advocacies disguised as "independent" analysis. A fundamental reality must be recognized. Decades of pressure, sanctions, and isolation have not produced positive outcomes, neither for #US policy objectives nor for regional stability. There is now increasing acknowledgment, even within U.S. policy circles, that a shift towards engagement, rather than misplaced and unwarranted coercion, is both necessary and overdue. Attempts by some commentators to portray this shift as dangerous reveal more about entrenched biases than about actual conditions on the ground. The persistence of such narratives, often repeated loudly on social media without evidence, reflects a deliberate effort to obstruct progress rather than inform public understanding. Eritrea's position has been consistent and principled. Since independence, it has pursued a policy anchored in #sovereignty, non-interference, and an independent development policy that eschews structural and perpetual dependency. Eritrea does not subscribe to dependency-based models. Instead, it promotes mutually beneficial partnerships rooted in trade, investment, and respect for national ownership of development priorities; an approach aligned with evolving global trends. Attempts by certain analysts to caricature this policy orientation only expose a lack of seriousness and analytical rigor. Assertions that improved relations would embolden instability lack credibility. Eritrea has consistently upheld territorial integrity, international law, and peaceful coexistence. Its regional policy has been guided by, and is anchored on, legitimate security considerations and a clear commitment to stability in the Horn of Africa and the Red Sea basin. The repeated efforts by some voices to suggest otherwise, often in inflammatory tones, amount to little more than noise intended to distract from substantive policy discussions. Equally flawed is the narrative that lifting unilateral U.S. sanctions would have negative consequences. These measures were unwarranted, selectively applied, and counterproductive. They neither advanced peace nor served strategic interests. Their continued defense by a narrow circle of commentators, despite clear evidence of their legality and utility, raises questions about the motivation behind such positions. As pronounced on several occasions, Eritrea has always been keen to cultivate a respectful, forward-looking, and constructive engagement based on mutual respect, non-coercion, and sovereign equality. The path forward requires moving beyond ineffective policies and dismissing unproductive narratives, particularly those amplified by the whimsical intent of certain individuals bent on derailing progress. A balanced, fact-based, approach will better serve both nations and contribute to lasting peace and stability in the region.

Every day, Abiy seems determined to humiliate #Ethiopia on the world stage. Ethiopians are smuggling Petrol, filling it into small water bottles, and selling it on Ethiopia’s black market — a market on which much of the country now operates.

ETHIOPIA ― 😬You may have seen kilometers-long queues of vehicles in #Ethiopia, with people waiting days for fuel. But nothing quite captures the situation like an ambulance, siren on and a patient inside, being forced to line up at a gas station in the middle of an emergency because it has run out of fuel. That is the scale of the fuel crisis in Ethiopia.

Ethiopia’s election next month will be a sham. Many of Abiy Ahmed’s rivals are either in exile or in jail. Opposition parties have been co-opted, cowed or banned economist.com/middle-east-an…

💢Breaking | A shooter reportedly opened fire in the lobby of the Washington Hilton during the White House Correspondents' Dinner tonight, April 25. The gunman fired several shots in the hotel lobby and was subsequently shot dead by security forces, according to TMZ. President Donald Trump, the First Lady, and other top administration officials were immediately rushed out of the ballroom by the Secret Service. There are currently no reported injuries among the dinner guests or officials. Guests, including hundreds of journalists and celebrities, were ordered to take cover under tables as heavily armed guards swarmed the stage.  Despite skipping the dinner during his entire first term and the first year of his second, Trump returned as both guest of honor and keynote speaker. Instead of a traditional roasting by a comedian, the event was set to feature Oz Pearlman, an Israeli mentalist, who performs mind-reading demonstrations.

Scores of Ethiopian journalists have been arrested, beaten or forced into exile. Many foreign reporters have been expelled. The government promises more persecution economist.com/middle-east-an…

.@SecRubio: “Macron just said Europe must break away from the US, and not intervene in its wars… When Macron tried to play superpower and fight terrorism in Africa, he couldn't even fly his troops there, we had to fly them for him.” 🤣

The commotion of the usual, faint-hearted, Conflict Entrepreneurs (እፍሊ ሓንጨመንጪ) is appalling indeed. This attitude is glaringly evident/manifested, especially this week, both in its condescending variant as well as in their pretentious posturing when they act as "Viceroys" who have the "prerogative and authority" to determine the political affairs, destiny, and international relations of Eritrea in particular and the Horn of Africa region broadly. Eritrea will not, of course, be derailed by the perennial ill-will of these inconsequential detractors and it will, as ever, pursue its positive and constructive policies of cultivating and consolidating its regional and global ties of cooperation and partnership on the basis of mutual interests and shared objectives.

Ethiopia’s prime minister says the next election will be the most open and democratic in the country’s history. In reality it will be a sham. Discover the full story: register to read for free economist.com/middle-east-an…

#Eritrea's 35th Independence Anniversary will be celebrated under the fitting theme: "Our Resilience: Our Guarantee". The mantra is indeed a perfect epitome for the odyssey/historical trajectory of two Eritrean generations - the Yikaalo and Warsai generations - who had to summon and display unparalleled heroism and resilience and who were compelled to pay, in the process, precious sacrifices to ascertain and later protect their inviolable rights of decolonization and nationhood. Indeed, the small nation had to endure and suffer under stifling and over-arching geopolitical calculus of major powers in the 1940s to be entangled in a bogus "Federal Arrangement" that soon degenerated into blatant annexation; conduct Africa's longest armed struggle for liberation after all its legal and peaceful pleas for redress were utterly ignored; face, in the aftermath of independence, imposed wars of destabilization against its sovereignty and territorial integrity; and, grapple with associated hostilities including unwarranted sanctions as well as subtle subterfuges of "strategic depopulation", unremitting defamation, etc. ርዝነት ናጽነትና እምበኣር ብዝሓለፎ ከቢድን መዘና-ኣልቦን ጉዕዞ'ዩ ዝትመን!
