The Horn’s Pathocracy: When Leaders Rebrand Atrocity as Strategy selamkidanedotcom.wordpress.com/2026/02/06/the…

UN Secretary‑General closely following developments in #Tigray region of #Ethiopia, where renewed tensions and reported clashes have contributed to a worsening security environment. ethiopia.un.org/en/309274-stat…

It's a great privilege to conduct the first official diplomatic visit to Somaliland, at the invitation of President @Abdirahmanirro. The visit is also a message: We are determined to vigorously advance relations between Israel and Somaliland. Today, we held substantive discussions with the President and senior members of his government on the full range of our relations. The mutual recognition and establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries are not directed against anyone. Our shared objective is to promote the mutual benefit of both nations and countries. In Hargeisa, I made it clear: Only Israel will decide whom it recognizes and with whom it maintains diplomatic relations. The President of Somaliland informed me that he has accepted @IsraeliPM Netanyahu’s invitation and will pay an official visit to Israel.

Beyond Wishing Peace: Why Eritrea Needs Action, Not Silence selamkidanedotcom.wordpress.com/2026/01/01/bey…

So saddened by the tragic events in #Australia. Sending love, strength, and solidarity to the victims, their loved ones, and the wider community. 🌍🕯️

#Eritrea exit from #IGAD reflects long-standing grievances, but withdrawal is not a strategy. Aligning instead with #Egypt & Arab states risks swapping one imbalance for another. This is not a coherent national policy but a personalised decision-making, not institutional vision.

Breaking News‼️ Eritrean orthodox church in #Sweden loses state funding of 800,000 SEK per year after the government concluded that Eritreans in #Sweden are being subjected to #TransnationalRepression the church due it's ties to the dictator in #Eritrea.

The Limits of Political Tightrope-Walking: Reflections on @reda_getachew 's Interview selamkidanedotcom.wordpress.com/2025/11/30/the…

The utter stupidity of two Tigrayan forces exchanging fire disgusts me!

It’s perplexing how Isaias Afwerki keeps changing his ‘strategic allies’ without ever outlining or revising his strategy. Three years ago it was Abiy and #Ethiopia — now it’s Al-Sisi and #Egypt. No one in #Eritrea can say what the strategy is, or who the next ally will be.

The Lampedusa disaster of 3 Oct 2013, where 300+ Eritreans perished, is a stark reminder of two failures: Eritrea’s regime denying its people a life of dignity, and the world’s silence in protecting desperate Eritrean refugees. selamkidanedotcom.wordpress.com/?s=Number+92

This is the story of how the founding director of Eritrea's public television was imprisoned 24 years ago, and has not been seen since. His name is Seyoum Tsehaye, and he is an internationally recognised photographer and journalist. He also happens to be my uncle.

@tewerwari_1 1992/93 Ethiopia secured Assab as a transit/free port (access cut in the 1998 war) 2001Gov’t declared Assab a “free zone” 2015–21 UAE ran a military/logistics base under lease 2018 peace deal raised talk of reopening to Ethiopia Yet Eritreans have never seen figures or terms 🤷🏾‍♀️

Turning point; #Eritrea has positioned itself as a regional player. According to reliable sources, #Italy and #SaudiArabia are tussling to seal a deal of port development in #Massawa & #Assab. If this deal is done, Assab will be a regional hub that will attract logistical outlets throughout the world. #Somalia #Ethiopia

@HaileTesfa23557 @biniamb @UN @CIJ_ICJ The special rapporteur was appointed by the same body that we are calling on to uphold the law when it comes to Assab 🤷🏾‍♀️

Human rights infringements are everywhere. Eritreans in Ethiopia are arrested, killed, and forcibly detained and returned to Eritrea. The UN's special rapporteur is a tool used for political purposes to hold politicians accountable who practice autocracy, including those in Ethiopia.

The @UN must uphold its Charter & international law! @CIJ_ICJ, the principal judicial organ of the UN, unequivocally ruled in 2018, in the Bolivia v. Chile case that coastal states do not have legal obligation to negotiate sovereign access to the sea/ocean for landlocked states.
