Mussie Eritrea

@BehiwotTilahun Ethiopia has nothing to do with this infrastructures, it was built with Eritrean blood and sweat during the Italian colony. We will do miracle once sanctions lifted.

Asmara, Eritrea – before the so‑called independence, it was the second most modern city in Ethiopia. Built together. Prospered together. Then came Shabiya. And division destroyed what unity had built. A fake struggle. A real collapse. 🇪🇷⬇️🇪🇹 #Eritrea #Asmara #Ethiopia

@TiborPNagyJr This old trick no longer works. Eritrea was betrayed since it inception by the world and after winning its independence through sweat and blood, your kind worked tirelessly to sabotage it. Please stop this nonsense.

The great Eritrean people can be proud of gaining independence 35 years ago. But shame on the regime which has kept the nation as a prison camp and its citizens without rights. I hope Isaias does open to better US relations; that will speed his downfall. state.gov/releases/offic…

@yebeyene @BashirHashiysf What is wrong with you, you need to control your emotion. Have you heard no permanent friends or enemies in politics.

@BashirHashiysf They let you dirty, TPLF loving motherfucker in?

I'm at Eritrea festival in St Paul Minnesota of 35 anniversary of 🇪🇷 ERITREA'S independence day.

@Habtishgreat PP galas are losing their minds in Eritrea special day, maybe you need to numb your selves with sedative or alcohol.

The results are in. Errortrea has been chosen a nickname for Eritrea. I believe the voters chose a perfect nickname implying constant: mistakes, dysfunction, country that’s one big glitch. Congratulations Errortrea 🇪🇷‼️‼️‼️

@BehiwotTilahun Now that sanctions are lifted and Egypt is willing to work with Eritrea on development programs, Eritrea is not going to look back toward pp Ethiopia. Ethiopia wants weak Eritrea but that will not happen.

There's no shame in defending what's rightfully yours; 🇪🇹 and no shame in speaking out about Ethiopia's sovereignty through the Red Sea. History, law, and geography all point to one truth: the Assab region is part of Ethiopia. #Ethiopia #RedSea #Sovereignty #Assab

@YemaneGirum You talking about this Ethiopia 🤦

Ethiopia's population and economy are too big to depend solely on other countries'ports. The sooner Ethiopia's neighbors realize that the better. They have a lot more to lose than Ethiopia, they really don't want to become another Eritrea.

@ajosephstyl3 @_hudsonc ቆማጣ ለማኝ

@_hudsonc 1/2 Cameron, this is what Ben-Gurion warned Washington in the Nasser era: Egypt used the Red Sea and Horn as a theater for strategic messaging and influence. Eritrean rebel politics were being shaped in Cairo. Nasser founded & funded ELF against 🇺🇸🤝🇮🇱🤝🇪🇹 .JTA][KagnewStation]

Very telling interview with Egypt's Foreign Minister to Eritrean press, noting "Red Se security must be the sole responsibility of the littoral states and no other parties. This is a clear and non-negotiable point." I guess they dont want the US navy there shabait.com/2026/05/18/exc…

@DanielsonKassa1 @_hudsonc ዝምብ

@_hudsonc He’s worried Ethiopia is rising. Trying to stop the inevitable is an uphill battle for Cairo.

@HaqEnq You can’t even defeat FANO and OLA and here you are tweeting about the impossible bitch.

Time to bring the subjugated Afars home

Thank you for keeping the region safe from the troublemaker next door. While Somalia is offline, Afwerki is taking the lead in securing the #NotAnInch initiative. Keep up the fight #Eritrea continues to stand strong against all odds. Awet n'Hafash 🫡✊🏼

من قلب أسمرة.. كامل الوزير يكشف للديهي تفاصيل اتفاق النقل البحري بين مصر وإريتريا #بالورقة_والقلم

@Big_Ethio_Guy @Habtishgreat Fano and OLA is heading to Addis and you want march to Asmara ደንቆሮ

@Habtishgreat He is asking for it. Time to march to Asmara

“The relationship with Egypt is a strategic historical one.” Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki. During a high-level meeting in Asmara on May 16, 2026, with Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty and Transport Minister, Afwerki underscored the deep-rooted partnership that dates back to Egypt’s support for Eritrea’s independence struggle, now evolving into robust cooperation on maritime transport, trade, investment in mining and fisheries, and joint efforts to secure the Red Sea as a domain primarily managed by its coastal states. The discussions advanced a new maritime agreement to establish direct shipping lines between Eritrean and Egyptian ports, enhancing connectivity with the Suez Canal and fostering economic integration while addressing shared regional concerns, including stability in Sudan, Somalia, and the broader Horn of Africa. This alignment also reflects mutual interests in countering external pressures by Ethiopia, particularly regarding Nile water rights and Red Sea access, positioning the Eritrea-Egypt axis as a pragmatic pillar of stability and development in a volatile region.

@RealSpitfire @MarioNawfal Wow you don’t even know Kentucky is landlocked 🤦. It is just google away.

@MarioNawfal Your account has just become one lie after another. Hegseth went to Kentucky to welcome home the USS Gerald Ford. He did not go there for Massie.

🇺🇸🇮🇱 AIPAC just dumped another $3 million into Thomas Massie's primary… Sec. Hegseth was sent to campaign for his opponent. The full might of the Israeli lobbying machine is working to unseat him. Massie's response: "They're panicked and haven't been able to gain a lead in this race." Think about what's actually happening here: a sitting congressman is being bombarded relentlessly with foreign lobby money and White House pressure. If Massie survives this, it sends a message every member of Congress will hear loud and clear. @RepThomasMassie

@RobelYeshitla 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 eating donkey meat is destroying what is left in your little brain. It would be much easier for your mama to disown you than for Shitopia to de recognize Eritrea. We bit the shit out of your country to reclaim our independence and you had to accept it forcefully.

Somaliland (May 17) and Eritrea (May 24) are set to commemorate Independence Day. It’s time for Ethiopian government to recognize Somaliland and de-recognize Eritrea. End Ethiopia’s Cold War strategic containment.

@RenaissanceDam Your logic is so stupid as all the pp cadres. You expect Eritrea to just wait for Ethiopia to come around. Eritrea has every right to work with Egypt or any other country. Time to stop your stupid entitlement that if 🇪🇹 does not use Red Sea no country should mentality.

Egypt’s Eritrea Miracle? Look Closer. Behind the multi-billion-dollar rhetoric lies a tiny maritime pact, a collapsing transit route, and single-digit trade numbers. Egypt frequently presents its regional maneuvers around Ethiopia as a masterclass in grand strategy. However, a closer look reveals a predictable, deeply entrenched pattern: a grand ceremony, a massive headline, and a historic promise, followed by a widening implementation gap and predictable implementation failure. Whenever Ethiopia makes a strategic move, Cairo reflexively scrambles to a neighboring state, be it Sudan, Somalia, Uganda, South Sudan, or now Eritrea. The rhetorical framing is always magnificent, spinning politically inflated tales of "strategic partnerships" and sweeping "continental corridors." Yet, the tangible results consistently evaporate the moment the cameras turn off. This is Egypt’s familiar corridor theater: announce a regional future, deliver a symbolic project dressed as regional power, then let the media call it strategy. Cairo is not building durable infrastructure; it is trading in geopolitical vaporware born out of deep regional anxiety. A Track Record of Headline Diplomacy Egypt’s history of regional project development in East Africa is defined by unfunded ambition and repeated delivery failure. Across the region, major diplomatic announcements routinely fail to survive the transition from paper to reality: • Sudan (The Recycled Rail Link): Promises of an Egypt-Sudan railway and land link have been aggressively promoted by Cairo’s PR machine since 2008 and were breathlessly revived around 2021. Decades later, the project remains completely paralyzed by differing rail gauges, financial shortfalls, and systemic instability, remaining an operationally hollow promise rather than functioning logistics. • Uganda (The Symbolic Delivery): Egypt heavily promoted its involvement in Uganda's energy sector through the Busitema Solar Power Station, portraying it as a massive milestone in regional transformation. Yet, after years of MoUs and high-level delegations, the project yielded a mere 4 MW. To put this minimal scale into perspective, Uganda recently commissioned a 600 MW hydropower plant financed heavily by China. Cairo's contribution remains a small, symbolic delivery. • South Sudan (The Stalled Initiative): The highly touted 20 MW Juba Solar Power Station has followed a near-identical trajectory of strategic overreach. Slated for commissioning years ago, public project listings still relegate it to the status of a "paper corridor" initiative, labeled as "proposed" or "under development." • Somalia (The Reactive Front): Following Ethiopia’s Somaliland sea-access MoU in January 2024, Cairo rushed to supply weapons and commit troops to the African Union mission in Mogadishu. This rapid, highly publicized military footprint was a direct regional reaction to turn Somalia into a pressure front, rather than a slow, organic blueprint for long-term regional stability. Now comes the "Eritrea Corridor," the newest headline in Egypt’s aging playbook of unproven promises. Deconstructing the Egypt-Eritrea Project Egyptian state media has built a towering, fictional narrative around a massive logistics axis stretching from Alexandria and Suez, straight through Sudan, down to Eritrea, and deep into East Africa. In reality, the project's logic is flawed from the ground up across six key dimensions. 1. A Shipping Line Pretending to Be a Continent There is a striking mismatch between the media narrative and official records. While pro-Cairo headlines claim a groundbreaking land corridor, the official document signed in Asmara is strictly a maritime transport agreement to establish a simple shipping line. A shipping line can be announced quickly with a political signature. A true land corridor demands billions of dollars in liquid capital, synchronized border customs, extensive highway networks, and robust cargo guarantees. The media has artificially inflated a basic maritime route into an imaginary continental axis. 2. The Project's Own Warning Label Critiques of this project do not just come from outside observers. The pro-Egyptian Al-Araby article itself openly admits that the initiative faces severe structural risks, explicitly listing Sudan’s ongoing crisis, asset-security risks, high implementation costs, and deep doubts regarding economic viability. When a project's own promotional literature reads like a defensive risk assessment, political urgency has clearly outrun commercial design. 3. The War-Exposed Sudan Bottleneck and Logistical Inversion Any viable land route connecting Egypt to Eritrea must physically bisect Sudan, a country currently engulfed in a devastating civil war. Even Sudan’s eastern hub, Port Sudan, has seen critical infrastructure like fuel depots and electricity substations exposed to conflict. Relying on this route introduces a fundamental logistical absurdity. Both Egypt and Eritrea possess direct coastlines on the exact same body of water: the Red Sea. Maritime freight is generally far cheaper per ton-mile than overland desert trucking. Bypassing an open, direct maritime route to offload cargo, truck it thousands of kilometers through a violent conflict zone, and reload it at another port is commercially very difficult to justify. 4. The Isolated Eritrean Anchor Eritrea is uniquely unsuited to anchor an international, open-market trade corridor. According to UNCTAD profiles, Eritrea possesses a tiny maritime footprint: a national-flag fleet of only 9 ships, totaling roughly 14,000 DWT, and exactly 0 container ships. Furthermore, Eritrea remains the only African country that has not joined the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), has completely withdrawn from the regional bloc IGAD, and operates a highly state-controlled economy with heavy sanctions compliance risks. Lenders, insurers, and global logistics firms will not tolerate this level of legal and reputational uncertainty. 5. Fatal Cargo Logic and the Suez Comparison Corridors live and die by freight volume, but the commercial base between these two nations is practically nonexistent. Public trackers show Egypt’s exports to Eritrea sit at a tiny $7.53 million, while imports from Eritrea crawl at a negligible $2.47 thousand. Some Egyptian commentators claim this corridor can compensate for the geopolitical disruptions in the Red Sea. However, Egypt recently lost roughly $7 billion in Suez Canal revenue due to regional instability, with monthly losses hitting $800 million. A trade route with a total commercial baseline measured in the single-digit millions cannot plausibly substitute for multi-billion-dollar Suez losses. 6. Unfunded Ambitions and Established Competition Egypt's economy is currently navigating intense macroeconomic headwinds, marked by heavy debt pressure and foreign-currency vulnerabilities. Funding multi-state infrastructure networks requires billions of dollars that Cairo simply does not possess, and key Gulf allies have little commercial reason to finance a volatile, anti-Ethiopian transit line through a collapsing Sudanese state. Even if Cairo could solve the funding, the corridor faces an impossible competitive landscape. The imagined route aims to eventually reach East African markets, including Ethiopia. However, over 95% of Ethiopia’s import-export trade already moves seamlessly through the deeply entrenched Addis-Djibouti corridor, which is currently backed by a $730 million World Bank upgrade. Egypt’s concept simply cannot compete with an already functioning, financed, and dominant regional artery. Conclusion: Loud Promises, Thin Delivery The timing and scale of the Egypt-Eritrea announcement betray its true nature. It is driven not by commercial breakthrough, but by intense geopolitical anxiety surrounding Ethiopia's Renaissance Dam and Addis Ababa's strategic maritime ambitions. The small, realistic version of this project may happen: a basic shipping line, minor port contact, and limited bilateral trade. The grand version is pure political theater: a propaganda corridor sold to the public before the financing, route, cargo, and security even exist. Egypt’s Eritrea initiative is not a trade revolution. It is a limited maritime pact inflated into a continental mirage by a state that repeatedly confuses announcements with achievement. It repeats the familiar, reactive pattern around Ethiopia: panic, announce, exaggerate, delay. The headline is loud, the delivery is thin, and the implementation failure is already visible before the corridor even exists. #GERD #Abbay #BlueNile #NileRiver #NileBasin #WaterSecurity #EquitableUtilization #Ethiopia #Egypt #Sudan #SouthSudan #Uganda #Kenya #Tanzania #Rwanda #Burundi #DRC #Eritrea #HornOfAfrica #EastAfrica #Africa #Geopolitics

I absolutely love Eritrea‼️ I’m so excited to finally visit this stunning country in June 2026 and have been counting down the days with pure anticipation.

President Isaias Afwerki received, at the Denden Guest House in the late morning hours today, senior Egyptian delegation composed of Foreign Minister Dr. Badr Abdelatty; the Minister of Transportation, Lt. General Engineer Kamel Alwazir; and CEO's of several companies involved in the transport, energy and mining sectors. The extensive discussions centered on further enhancement of all-rounded bilateral ties of cooperation as well as regional and international issues of mutual importance. President Isaias underlined the significance of consolidating the all-rounded ties between Eritrea and Egypt to advance the mutual interests of the Eritrean and Egyptian peoples. In this respect, President Isaias expressed Eritrea's readiness to implement common projects in collaboration with Egyptian economic and trade companies. Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty, for his part, stated that the current visit was a manifestation and expression of the brotherly ties of friendship and cooperation that exist between the peoples of Eritrea and Egypt. The principal purpose of the visit was to further consolidate economic and trade ties between the two countries in accordance with the guidelines charted out by President Isaias Afwerki and President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Dr. Badr noted. On the occasion, the two countries signed an Agreement on Marine Transport "for developing cooperation in the sector with a view to contributing to the development of international shipping on the basis of the principles of the freedom of navigation". The Agreement was signed by Eritrea's Minister of Transport and Communications, Mr. Berhane Tesfaselassie, and Egyptian Minister of Transport, Lt. General Kamel Alwazir.

@GHabtom You are our generation “ምልሻ ስርናይ”.

The op-ed contends that the primary destabilizing actor in the region is not Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Abiy, but Eritrean dictator Isaias Afwerki, through the use of proxies and sustained regional interference. open.substack.com/pub/habtomgheb…

@YemaneGirum The ship has sailed, no more negotiations with pp leader, Abiye is not trust worthy.

Breaking News: Ethiopia rejected Isaias's request to fly to Addis with Egypt Air for negotiations. Ethiopia will send the Ethiopian national flag carrier to pick up Issias from Asmara.

SUDAN ― ☀️A second round of people-to-people dialogue under the umbrella of #Ximdo has taken place in Port Sudan, bringing together representatives from the Tigray, Amhara, Oromo, Ogaden, Gambella, Benishangul-Gumuz, and Somali communities, as well as opposition groups. Participants included Abdirahman Mahdi, one of the founders of the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF). Hajj Ibrahim Osman Aliyu of the Afar National Union Revolutionary Front (ANURF) also delivered a message of solidarity online. Organizers argue the grassroots #Ximdo (or #Tsimdo) initiative seeks to promote peaceful coexistence and relations among border communities of #Eritrea, #Ethiopia, and #Sudan. Supporters of the initiative argue that the initiative that started a years ago has already contributed in developing trust among the people and achieved relative peace in parts of the #Tigray, #Amhara, and #Afar regions bordering Eritrea, without any military involvement.
