I shake my head at Eritrean diaspora which sings the praises of dictator Isaias. If he's so great, why don't they go home to his "paradise" instead of staying in corrupt West? Of course, in Eritrea, they couldn't insult people on X due to no internet. Isn't hypocrisy wonderful?!

Eritrean national football team's squad for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers relies heavily on diaspora players who live outside Eritrea and hold second or dual citizenship. Home-based players often defect and seek political asylum abroad during away matches—a pattern linked to the country's indefinite national/military service policies, with over 60 defections since 2009. Diaspora players are now being actively called up as a “fix” for the team. Nearly the entire home-based national team had previously fled, forcing the federation to turn to foreign-based players. Only a small number of local (home-based) players are selected. Eritrea is playing today Eswatini in Morocco today. G00D LUCK. The full roster below not confirmed

Diaspora Eritreans in Norway with dual citizenship constitute the largest group of players - 3 - on the Eritrea National football team in the 2027 African Cup of Nations AFCON)! A result of the repressive regime, and an exodus of refugees over two decades.

US facilities like Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti, Emirati/Israeli-linked sites in Somaliland (recently recognized by Israel), and Eritrean ports used arms flows could become targets for Iranian or Houthi retaliation. #AccountabilityNow #EndRepression #JusticeForEritreans #Eritrea




The most visible consequence o our country f Eritrea’s political system is not found in official statements it is found in the lives of its people. Every year, thousands of our youth leave their country, not out of choice, but out of necessity. They cross deserts, face traffickers, and risk the Mediterranean Sea. This is not simply migration It is a symptom of systemic failure. A nation that cannot provide: •Educational freedom •Economic opportunity •Political participation will inevitably lose its most valuable resource its people. The rise of trafficking networks and smuggling routes is not the root cause it is the result of desperation created by closed political and social systems. Meanwhile, those who once fought for independence, and those who seek reform today, often face imprisonment, silence, or exclusion. This creates a painful contradiction. A country born from sacrifice, yet unable to deliver freedom to its next generation. No nation can develop when its youth are forced to choose between indefinite control and dangerous escape. The future of our country Eritrea depends not on maintaining contro but on restoring dignity, accountability, and opportunity. #BlueRevolution #TransnationalRepression #NoMorePFDJTerror #JusticeForEritrea #RefugeeRights #StopNationalServiceSlavery @UNHCR @Refugees @UNHumanRights @amnesty @hrw @UNOCHA @AlJazeera @BBCWorld @BBCAfrica @TiborPNagyJr @martinplaut @ElsaChyrum @AbrahamTesfai10 @asmarino80





Repression in Eritrea does not stop at its borders. It extends outward into diaspora communities across Europe, North America, and beyond. This phenomenon, increasingly recognised globally as transnational repression, involves intimidation, surveillance, coercion, and pressure against individuals who express dissent abroad. Reports and country assessments, including those referenced by the U.S. Department of State, have highlighted patterns where individuals face threats, harassment, and coercive tactics beyond Eritrea’s territory. This is not accidental. It is a strategy. By extending control into diaspora communities, the system attempts to: •Silence critics •Discourage activism •Maintain political influence beyond borders But this raises a critical issue for democratic countries: Can foreign-linked intimidation be allowed to operate within societies built on freedom of speech and rule of law? For Eritreans in exile, the struggle does not end at escape. Many continue to face pressure simply for speaking about justice. This transforms exile into a different form of confinement not physical, but psychological and political. Democracies must recognise this pattern for what it is:Not diplomacy. Not community engagement. But a direct challenge to civil liberties. #BlueRevolution #TransnationalRepression #NoMorePFDJTerror #RegimeChangeInEritrea #FreedomOfExpression #HumanRights #DiasporaRights @StateDept @FBI @UNHumanRights @amnesty @hrw @RSF_inter @AlJazeera @AJEnglish @ALJADEEDNEWS @BBCWorld @CNN @FoxNews @PolitlcsUK
