Excellent Read - Moments of Inspiration: the 20th YPFDJ Conference; by Dawit Gebremichael *"...I have attended many conferences over the years in different parts of the world and across different industries. Many are informative. Some are inspiring. Few are transformative. This was one of those rare moments when you could see the connection between the past, present, and future with clarity. I saw a generation that understands its history but is not confined by it. A generation that is open to learning but grounded in identity. A generation that recognizes that the future is not something to wait for, but something to build". *"...Throughout the conference, I had the opportunity to listen and learn from elder leadership, including Ambassadors and seasoned national representatives who have dedicated their lives to the service of Eritrea. Their presence was not symbolic. It was instructive. They spoke with the weight of experience and forward-looking vision that recognized the central role of youth in shaping the nation’s future. Equally inspiring were the young Heads of Mission and youth leaders who stood at the intersection of responsibility and action. They represented a generation that is not waiting for direction but is actively shaping outcomes. Their command of issues, their discipline in execution, and their clarity of purpose reflected something deeper than individual ambition. It reflected a collective consciousness". shabait.com/2026/04/11/mom…

President Isaias Afwerki met, at the Denden Guest House in the late afternoon hours today, Ambassador Hu Changchun, China's Special Envoy to the Horn of Africa. President Isaias Afwerki re-iterated Eritrea's readiness to consolidate its constructive engagement with the People's Republic of China, stressing the imperative for a more prominent role of China in various global and regional matters in these tumultuous times of heightened turmoil and instability. President Isaias further alluded to Africa's immense natural and human endowments and underlined the invaluable role that China is expected to play in the development and enhancement of these resources. Ambassador Hu Changchun, for his part, expressed China's readiness to work with Eritrea to deepen the existing bilateral strategic partnership for mutual benefit as well as leverage synergetic development strategies for the joint promotion of peace and stability across the Horn of Africa.

Ethiopia’s Foreign Ministry is hosting a dialogue on governance in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden❗️ keep in mind this is a landlocked country discussing seas it doesn’t even border. This is the kind of madness we’re dealing with in the Horn of Africa 😬

Unbelievable! Ethiopian Airlines is transporting UAE-backed RSF militias that have killed hundreds of thousands in Sudan, raped women, and looted the country.

Ethiopia under Abiy Ahmed’s leadership has turned into a state used to carry out the UAE’s dirty work. Dozens of cargo planes are using Ethiopia as a base, undermining the stability of countries in the region. thecanary.co/global/world-a…

#Eritrea - Statement by Foreign Minister Osman Saleh at the Geneva Conference on Unilateral Sanctions "The international order is increasingly characterized by the normalization, expansion, and quiet institutionalization of unilateral coercive measures. Their scope has widened, their application intensified, and their reach extended far beyond national jurisdictions. This evolution has unfolded largely outside the framework of multilateral legitimacy and in tension with the foundational principles of international law, sovereign equality, non-interference, and the importance of the Charter of the United Nations". shabait.com/2026/04/09/sta…

#Ethiopia is actively involved in transporting Rapid Support Forces (#RSF) militia members to the Blue Nile region using civilian aircraft. In a confirmed case various media outlets circulated a video showing RSF members inside an Ethiopian @flyethiopian @AlArabiya

Ethiopia’s military is harboring and assisting the Rapid Support Forces, a paramilitary group accused of mass killings in Sudan, a Yale University research unit has found bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

"The EU is beginning to treat Eritrea not merely as a political outlier, but as a relevant actor in one of the world’s most sensitive maritime theaters." I predict that the Trump Administration will soon follow the EU lead in Eritrea... mesobjournal.com/post/why-eritr…

Potemkin Party's antics and theatrics seem to increasingly transcend the bounds of rationality. This is the only explanation for the bizarre conference that the Institute of Foreign Affairs convened this week under the theme: "Inclusive Maritime Governance". Speakers included some obscure and hired "pundits" as well as the senior officials of a Ghost Navy. The Horn of Africa countries have roundly and firmly rejected, without equivocation or ambivalence, the Potemkin Party's quest for "sovereign access to the Sea" as toxic and avoidable threat to regional peace and security. The response from the international community has, likewise, been the same. And yet, Potemkin Party officials and minions seem to double down and indulge on this perilous path. The multi-layered ramifications of this delusional policy are otherwise very evident as the attached link elucidates: "ካብ ጉይይ ምውዓል፥ ክሳድ ምሓዝ"! === The “Sovereign Sea Gate” Delusion: Ethiopia’s Expansionist Narrative Disguised as Strategy shabait.com/2026/04/08/the…

@tesfanews A landlocked country hosting a maritime conference without the sea powers feels a bit like a vegetarian hosting a BBQ and banning the grill masters. #Ethiopians are trying to prove they are relevant😜

#NEWS — «Landlocked» Ethiopia really hosted a full-on Red Sea conference like it has beachfront property on the Red Sea. “Inclusive maritime governance,” was the theme … then proceeded to exclude every country that actually has a navy, a port, or, you know, access to a sea. No #Eritrea, no #Djibouti, no Saudi Arabia, no #Egypt, no #Yemen, no #Sudan, no #Somalia. Just a landlocked TED Talk about waves. At this point it’s like hosting a ski summit in the desert and not inviting a single country with snow. Or running an aviation conference without pilots, planes, or airports, just strong opinions and Google Maps screenshots. They didn’t just miss the point, they scheduled a whole conference around it. 😆

The funniest political joke in Ethiopia this week. Parents say the ever-increasing school fees are becoming a serious concern. They added that if things keep going this way, “we’ll have no choice but to let our kids study only up to Grade 7 - and then make them earn a PhD.”

#Ethiopians have joke..😂😂
