The Eritrean dictator’s relations with Egypt are reactive, driven by shared hostility to Ethiopia—not by any long-term economic or strategic partnership—and the evidence is striking. habtomghebrezghiabher.substack.com/p/the-eritrean…

That is the tip of the iceberg. That's what many people aspire to do to become wealthy; in the US, it's known as the "American dream." You buy it, but you don't really own it. For many people, a credit card is a way to show off, but behind the scenes, they scratch their heads until they bleed. Well, it is the norm in DC and other state neighborhoods. If it is to their liking, that is acceptable; it is their decision. One of the issues is that these individuals exhibit disparate attitudes upon their return to their homes. You have no choice because the bank owns your car, home, and vacation.🇺🇸🇪🇹☮️🕊️

A day to remember! The Ethiopian Airlines historic 8km run was just as vibrant and successful as our 80-year journey. Starting from the Old Airport and finishing at our Headquarters, the event perfectly mirrored the vibrant legacy of our airline. Thank you to everyone who participated and made this milestone a part of your own history. Congratulations to all the winners! #FlyEthiopian

@DanielsonKassa1 3000 miles from the Horn of Africa, rats are rats. Egypt is experiencing a deep depression.☮️🇺🇸🇪🇹

🚨Egypt heard about Isais Afewerki’s ongoing secret negotiations with Addis Ababa, and their foreign minister came running, to dissuade the Eritrean leader from participating in American led negotiations with Ethiopia. But I doubt El-Sisi can offer Asmara what Marco Rubio can offer, which includes financial incentives, lifting of sanctions, and integration with the global economy. The last 35 years of being Egypt’s errand boy has devastated Eritrea. A course correction and normalization of relations with Ethiopia is the only way out of the cold, and America is willing to facilitate / guarantee this outcome. Will Isias squander this once in a generation opportunity for his people?

No One Should Go Hungry in Addis Ababa‼️ Did you know that there are 30 free feeding centers operating across Addis Ababa? In 2021, Ethiopian Prime Minister Dr. Abiy Ahmed and the Mayor of Addis Ababa launched these free feeding centers to support vulnerable and less fortunate residents. Today, these 30 centers provide hot, nutritious meals three times a day, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, at no cost. No one in the city should have to go to bed hungry or spend the day without eating. Anyone in need can simply visit one of these locations and enjoy a warm meal. In related positive news, all public schools in Addis Ababa now offer free breakfast and lunch. More than 940,000 students across over 70,000 participating schools benefit from this program daily. These initiatives reflect a strong commitment to fighting hunger and ensuring no child or citizen is left behind.

At the Ethiopia-EU Business Forum, European Commissioner for International Partnerships Jozef Síkela emphasized the Ethiopia's growing influence, stating:

The launch of the Arabic version of “Medemer Mengist” in Abu Dhabi was a powerful reminder of how ideas, culture, and diplomacy can come together to strengthen relations between nations. I extend my sincere appreciation to the Government of the United Arab Emirates, the diplomatic team at the Embassy and Consulate, the Ethiopian Community Associations in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, and everyone involved in making this event a success. Please watch the summary video and join us in reflecting on this important milestone in our shared journey.

Ultimately, Egypt can make promises but fails to fulfill them. Deceptive statements are included in their repertoire, which is comparable to Shabiya. Why they waited so long is the question, and now they rush to sign and file fraudulent documents. Why all the fuss about investing when Egypt's economy is a mess? The suffering of Eritreans living impoverished has continued for too long. It is impossible to trust Egypt's promise of development until the elderly Eritrean regime is removed and replaced by younger individuals. Saying no to Egypt Drama is the best solution.🇪🇷🇪🇹🕊️☮️🇪🇷

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

The Houthis & Al-Shabab are not isolated actors—they are sustained by Iran & the Eritrean dictator. The dictator's backing of Al-Shabab dates back to the mid-2000s. This cross-Red Sea Islamist network spanning Yemen, Somalia, Sudan & beyond is a single regional security threat, not separate conflicts. alhurra.com/en/20441 @POTUS45 @PMEthiopia
