Hilarious but perfect reflection of #Eritrea's handling of warmonger #AbiyRegimeIsCriminal For the past 3 years, #Ethiopia's #PP officials have been singing "Tuta Tuta", asking #Eritrea to be intimidated into submission. Indeed, we have no time to be scared off ፈራሕ ሰነፍ ነዳይ! from @ERiTV_Official ሳውን series!

“Open the books” Djibouti Minister Confronts Ethiopia To Prove "Billion$" in Port Payments DJIBOUTI ― Finance Minister Ilyas M. Dawaleh didn’t tiptoe around it, he went straight for the jugular and told #Ethiopia to cut the propaganda and bring receipts. If you’re really out here spending “billions” every year on port fees, then go ahead, prove it. He is right, because the math is embarrassing. Ethiopia claims around $2 billion a year goes to Djibouti, a country whose whole economy is about $4 billion. At that rate, Djibouti should be shining like a Gulf economy by now, not still being labeled a small developing one. So let’s be real, either Ethiopia is seriously inflating the numbers, or that money is doing some disappearing act along the way. There’s no neat third explanation here. Which is exactly why the minister lost patience with the talking points and basically said, enough, open the books. Now here’s the funny part. Let’s rewind to the 90s. When Ethiopia was using #Eritrea’s ports in Assab and Massawa, the total bill over five years (from 1992 to 1997) was about 200 million birr. That’s roughly 40 million birr a year, which comes out to around $250K annually. That’s roughly pocket change compared to today’s claims. And the cherry on top, Meles Zenawi thought he was playing 4D chess by ditching Eritrean ports to economically squeeze Eritrea over that tiny $250K revenue. 😂 Instead, he pivoted to Djibouti and started paying in dollars, in "billions". That move didn’t just age badly, it aged like milk left out in the sun.

To Mr. Zemedeneh Negatu @Zemedeneh, Your interview on Gazette Plus is deeply misleading and compelled me to respond. I normally don’t respond to armchair theorists, but I thought you were better informed than that. Indeed, You are free to please a narrative. I am equally free to challenge misinformation. With all due respect, claiming that 🇩🇯’s #ports are « expensive and inefficient » is not serious economics, it is simply a convenient talking point detached from facts. After Ethiopia lost direct access to the sea, Djibouti did not merely provide an alternative. Djibouti built the entire logistics backbone that enabled #Ethiopia’s #economic #transformation. More importantly, how can anyone credibly argue that Djibouti’s port investments are « insufficient »or « inappropriate »when over $10 billion has been invested in world-class infrastructure, including: • Deep-sea ports • Specialized terminals • An electrified railway • Integrated logistics corridors This is not inefficiency. This is strategic infrastructures built at scale and serving not only Ethiopia, but global trade and regional integration. Let me be absolutely clear: Without Djibouti, Ethiopia’s transformation at this scale would not have been possible. Djibouti has been an indispensable pillar of Ethiopia’s industrialization journey. As for the recurring narrative about the « billions paid to Djibouti». I welcome a transparent, fact-based debate with open books and verifiable data. Be my guest. I speak not from theory, but from direct involvement as one of the contributors and witnesses to this exceptional 🇩🇯🇪🇹 partnership journey. And also a great friend and lover of Ethiopia. You may well find that an apology to Djibouti is in order. Djibouti is not a burden. Djibouti is and has been a #strategic #multiplier for Ethiopia. It is time to move beyond misleading narratives and return to facts.

ECONOMIC HITMAN WITH A RETURN TICKET @Zemedeneh Negatu's only consistent calculus is survival and self-enrichment: latch onto whichever regime is in power, play the savior consultant with his polished refurbished diaspora English, American passport as escape hatch, and luxury mansion as trophy. If things go south, he dusts off the furniture in his probably paid-off U.S. home, retires happily ever after, maybe with a second wife half his age. Or he already has the next script ready: if Fano and the Amhara (his own people he betrayed long ago) ever take the reins, he'll pivot faster than you can say 'economic advisor' and offer himself as their chief consultant. Same playbook, different paymaster. Classic opportunist, no loyalty, just ledgers. @GeneralBurhan @AlsisiOfficial @IsmailOmarG @WilliamsRuto @AbiyAhmedAli @BilleneSeyoum @GHessebon @MFAEthiopia @TayeAtske @EyobTolina @binalf7 @DanielKibret @NeaminZeleke @TeshomeAbebe18 @GTWTW_Now @SemahagnAbebe @HOAAffairs @MesfinMtegenu @dawit_giorgis @berhanenega @ShebaPushStart @Berhanu2006 @mamamesay @AndargachewTse2 @ZehabeshaNews @zborkena

Djibouti’s Minister of Economy & Finance really labeled @Zemedeneh an "armchair theorist." Honestly, the shoe fits. 😂On the topic of #Eritrea and Assab Port, it’s back with its rightful owners 😊 Negatu, rewriting history requires a lot more than a soft cushion and a vivid imagination. Stick to the furniture; the facts are already settled. 😂

#Djibouti’s Finance Minister, Mr. Ilyas M. Dawaleh, is challenging #Ethiopia, in this tweet, to open its financial records to the world and substantiate its repeated claim that it pays billions of dollars annually for access to Djibouti’s ports. This is the kind of challenge I have long expected from Djibouti, and it is notable that it has come from the Finance Minister himself. Ethiopia maintains that it pays Djibouti around $2 billion each year for port services. Now, consider this, Djibouti’s GDP is approximately $4 billion. If Ethiopia had indeed been paying $2 billion annually over the past three decades, Djibouti’s economy would, by now, be on a scale comparable to far wealthier nations like #USA or even #UAE. So one of these three conclusions must follow: 1) Ethiopian officials are misrepresenting the figures—or worse, 2) There is financial fraud and Ethiopian officials are stealing money on a scale unprecedented in any #African state. 3) Djibouti is hiding a lot of money some where in the #RedSea Port! Which is it? P.S. During 1992 -1997, when Ethiopia was using #Eritrean ports, it only paid 200 Million Birr in total for the 5 years it used #Massawa and #Assab. Which is 40 million Birr per year. Which is equivalent to 250 thousand dollars a year. It is basically Eritrea was providing Free Port Service. What kind of idiots lead Ethiopia is clear to see.

SUDAN — What began as a grassroots effort to build trust, peace, and cooperation among border communities in Eritrea, Tigray, and Afar through the local people-to-people initiative known as #Ximdo, which successfully fostered peace along the Eritrea–Tigray border, has now expanded to include the people of Amhara and Sudan. Community representatives from #Tigray, #Eritrea, and #Amhara recently held their first people-to-people meeting in the Sudanese town of Kassala. The gathering highlighted their shared commitment to peaceful coexistence as neighbors, while rejecting any attempts by the Abiy Ahmed government to maintain power by fueling divisions and conflict among these neighboring communities.

AL SAHABA MOSQUE AND THE HISTORY OF ISLAM AND RELIGIOUS HARMONY IN ERITREA The history of Islam in Africa and specifically in Eritrea is a profound testament to the interweaving of faith, culture, and society across centuries. … Among the most remarkable symbols of this early presence of Islam in Africa is the Al Sahaba Mosque, or Mosque of the Companions, located on the island of Ras Medr adjacent to the port of Massawa in Eritrea.

THE MONUMENT TO SELECTIVE MEMORY Cowardice, Coercion, and the Myth of a “Heroic” Death ​ There is something almost surreal in the way the remnants of the Derg attempt to rehabilitate their past, polishing the wreckage of a brutal regime as if it were a cherished inheritance rather than a historical calamity. … If there are monuments to be built, they should not be to the functionaries of a system that devoured both its enemies and its own. They should be to the victims, the civilians of Massawa who endured bombardment, the villagers who disappeared, the families who were erased by policies that treated human life as expendable.

🚨 (UPDATE) - Ethiopia Faces a High-Stakes Military Dilemma
ⓉⓃ tweet media
Jawar Mohammed@Jawar_Mohammed

While global attention is fixated on the war in the Middle East, and some of us are focused on Ramadan, here are some less-reported yet significant developments in Ethiopia. • You might recall that the federal government moved much of its military to the northern theater with the aim of “neutralizing” the Tigray/Eritrea threat. Yet, the war has not broken out, primarily due to the outbreak of fighting in the Middle East. However, claims by some diplomats that the army has been withdrawn from the Tigray border and redeployed to Amhara are not accurate. The army remains positioned along the Tigray and Eritrea borders (Afar and Humera). Field commanders have been instructed to maintain battle readiness to launch offensive as soon as the Middle East situation clears. In the mean time, the prolonged reduction of ENDF deployment in Oromia and Amhara is being effectively exploited by rebel movements in both regions. • Fano has delivered severe blows to regime forces in Amhara, overrunning several towns in Gonder, capturing hundreds of regional paramilitary personnel, militia members, and civilian government administrators. Several senior commanders of the former regional special police force are among those killed. Much of Gondar has fallen under Fano control. Fano’s latest campaign is significant for two reasons: a) Despite the regional security office training and deploying over 100,000 paratroopers and militia to fill the vacuum left by the ENDF’s departure, Fano has managed to overrun these forces, killing a number of reputed senior commanders. This suggests either a serious lack of motivation or significant infiltration of government forces by Fano. In short, it appears much of the regional security forces’ loyalty may not lie with the government but rather with the rebels. b) The campaign clearly signals continued expansion of the battlefield further south, rather than toward Tigray/Eritrea as envisioned by Abiy Ahmed. In related news, senior leaders of the Amhara Prosperity Party, including the Deputy Prime Minister, are reportedly planning to stand for election in the regional capital, Bahir Dar, rather than in their traditional rural constituencies where they previously contested elections. - In Oromia, the OLA has also continued attacks against regional security militia forces deployed to fill the vacuum left by the ENDF, forcing the government to resort to intensified air bombardments using drones and helicopter gunships. Notably, these airstrikes are being carried out within a 100 km radius of the capital, particularly in East Shewa and North Shewa zones. For instance, as many as 30 air attacks have been conducted in Adami Tulu woreda of East Shewa in the past week alone. What prompted Abiy barrage of air attack? Over the last year, the OLA has been moving much of its fighters and battle tested commanders from Western and Southern provinces to Shewa and Arsi zones, silently strengthening its position in the strategic central Oromia. Thus, they are not only taking full advantage of vacuum left by ENDF to rout regional security forces, but also fortifying their positions in central Oromia not to be dislodged even when ENDF return in full force to Central region. The government wants to prevent such fortification but air bombardment without being reinforced with ground operation might not be sufficient deterrence. The two rebel movements’ continued success in overpowering regional security forces in Amhara and Oromia will force the federal government to make a choice regarding the planned war against Tigray/Eritrea: either redeploy the ENDF back to the two regions to contain the rebels, or proceed with launching the offensive against Tigray/Eritrea in the hope of a quick victory. As the Middle East war prolongs, waiting further for its outcome may no longer be an option.

“When a fuel truck returns from Djibouti, before it even reaches the fuel station, it is stopped on the road by government security forces and forced to go to their camps or offices to unload the fuel.”
ነብዩ@neby_G

🚨 It has been confirmed that most of the fuel currently entering central Ethiopia is being drawn from reserves located in Awash Arba. @MeseretMedia March 20, 2026 It is known that Ethiopia has recently been experiencing disruptions in fuel distribution due to both domestic factors and international developments. Our media outlet has been providing continuous updates on this issue and brings additional information today. Based on confirmations from fuel truck drivers and security sources, it has been verified that, as of today, the fuel being transported into central Ethiopia is being supplied from reserves stored in Awash Arba. A fuel transport driver stated: “The number of trucks going to Djibouti is very limited. Right now, fuel is being taken from reserves. Across the country, fuel hasn’t even arrived yet, but people are already lining up because they’re being told fuel is on the way.” Another driver explained: “When a fuel truck returns from Djibouti, before it even reaches the fuel station, it is stopped on the road by government security forces and forced to go to their camps or offices to unload the fuel.” He added: “They say it’s for a national purpose, but the payment is still sent to the fuel station owner. The driver is given a receipt and a letter. Because fuel is being diverted this way by government personnel, fuel stations are unable to sell fuel.” According to our sources, many Ethiopian fuel trucks are currently stranded in Djibouti waiting to load fuel. Due to shortages, drivers have been stuck for more than 15 days, living in difficult conditions. Sources further stated: “Right now, fuel is being taken from reserves. Very few trucks are going to Djibouti, and those already there haven’t been able to load fuel yet.” Data indicates that Ethiopia imports over 4.2 million metric tons of fuel annually. Currently, due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, global oil prices have risen from around $60 per barrel to approximately $110–$120. Additionally, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran—one of the world’s main oil transit routes—has driven global fuel prices even higher. Until now, fuel imports into Ethiopia have been handled solely by the state-owned Ethiopian Petroleum Supply Enterprise. However, the government has announced that starting next year, private suppliers may also be allowed to import fuel. As of now, the government has not disclosed how much fuel reserve Ethiopia currently holds. — Meseret Media —

These stories are common in Eritrea. I heard a story of my counsin 5 years old at the time witness his own father being murdered by Ethiopian soldiers. In 1975 during #Ethiopian occupation of #Eritrea the Derg Ethiopian soldiers killed 11,000 people in the capital asmara from Jan 31 to Feb 6. that's over 1500 people per a day. 10% of the population at that time was murdered and it didn't stop there it continued to other towns and villages.

Not true. Each of these #African countries you mentioned—#Egypt #Ethiopia #Morocco #SouthAfrica—succumbed long ago to follow the neoliberal diktats of the World-Bank/IMF (aka the Washington Consensus). There's a country that charted its own independent path. I doubt you know it.
