@Am_Blujay Lions are intelligent creatures, they do risk analysis, if there was no truck behind him, back or not he's coming for you. They can also smell fear. Running or turning your back is a signal that you're a bitch.

@babashikor And how do you explain this your grace? the same pattern of absconding for over a decade! Same "agents" luring Eritrean athletes? Please stop this nonsense, the only thing you're exposing is that your foolishness🙄
Eritrea is a police state with no legal means of leaving for the youth! Let that simmer in your head before your next video. smh

Welcome to the Republic of Guelleh (aka Djibouti)
In a clear indication that the people of Djibouti love their President, Guelleh was just voted in to office by 97.8% of the vote.
This required a just-in-time amending of the constitution to lift the age ban and allow people named Guelleh over the age of 75 to run for office.
The 97.8% results were better than the 2021 election which he won by only 97.3% of the valid votes. The invalid voters voted for the opposition.
The 2021 vote results were an increase over the previous (2016) election where he got a pitiful 87.1% of the vote.
In 2010, Djibouti’s parliament amended the constitution to allow people named Guelleh to run for a third time, allowing the president to run and win the 2011 election by a laughably low 80.6% of the election.
At the end of his term, Guelleh will be only 83 years old, still younger than Cameron’s President Biya who is 93 and transitioning his power to his son who was genetically elected in a landslide
Guelleh has been the president of Djibouti since 1999, ie, 27 years.
The medium age of Djiboutians is 26 years.

@eri_id_ How do you claim to be Eritrean and spend more time tweeting about Ethiopia😏

The Quiet Collapse of Education in Ethiopia
In Ethiopia today, the people meant to build the nation, teachers, doctors, and educated professionals are struggling just to survive. Salaries are so low that many cannot afford basic living, forcing them into dependence while state media portrays staged “support” as success.
The contrast is undeniable. In Kenya, a professor can start at around $1200. In Ethiopia, it’s closer to $200. This is not just inequality it’s a clear devaluation of education and knowledge.
At the same time, frustration grows as others in positions of influence appear to live comfortably, deepening the sense of imbalance and injustice.
When education is weakened, everything else follows. A generation without opportunity, resources, or intellectual growth becomes easier to control.
This is no longer just economic failure it raises a deeper question about direction.

They don’t need nuclear weapons to control their own population! I think the negotiations is less about Iran’s survival, we're past that, and more about Trump’s.
He’s walked into a reckless conflict with no clear exit, and now finds himself boxed in, with Iran holding the high cards - from the Strait of Hormuz to allied forces like the Houthis, who could also disrupt the Red Sea shipping routes if things escalate further.
The longer term consequences of global hunger in developing countries, driven by the energy and fertilizer supply shocks is scary, and that's why I'm rooting for a deal sooner than later.
English

1) US likely asked for control rights that would have made it impossible to move to a nuclear weapon, obviously.
2) The regime knows that without a nuke they remain forever highly vulnerable. That's why they can't give it up. Only a nuke provides protection.
3) They will fear that without a nuke and resulting protection they will struggle to keep the population under control: only through brutality and murder can they stay in power.
4) Without a nuke the risk that the world stops watching and is acting again is too great during the next inevitable uprising. That's why they can't give up a nuke even though it looks incomprehensible to most people outside of Iran.
5) From the regime's perspective it makes sense: without a nuke and thus limited ability to tame their population their lives are on the line anyway.
6) At the same time the regime knows that should Trump return to air strikes it's just a matter of time till US forces take out the remaining unyielding elements of the regime.
So from the regime's perspective it comes down to:
1) Give in to US demands and have a high risk of execution (or worse) in the next few years.
2) Die in the next few weeks in air strikes.
3) Play for time and hope Trump ends it due to oil price getting out of hand.
4) There could be an off-ramp for regime members but we'd never learn about it.
Ultimately, this negotiation is about the survival of the regime in comfy roles. If Trump can offer them something that would allow them to continue in such roles and feel safe this thing could be over tomorrow. Trump/Vance etc will know all of that.

@GirmaTelk he's a full time dictator and part time actor, that everyday man, people's president stunt, which all dictators love to engage in.

When Eritrea defeated Eswatini 2–1 on 31 March 2026, securing a 4–1 aggregate victory and a place in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifying group stages for the first time in 19 years, it should have been a moment of national celebration.
Instead, Seven of the ten locally-based players in the 24-man squad never made it home. They are believed to have slipped away when the national team passed through South Africa, en route back to Eritrea via Egypt. Among those who absconded are goalkeeper Kubrom Solomon and experienced winger Medhanie Redie. Of all the Eritrea-based players in the squad, only three returned to Asmara.
In 2019, seven players from the Eritrean under-20 team went missing after a regional tournament in Uganda. In 2015, ten senior players refused to return following a World Cup qualifier in Botswana. Earlier incidents include fifteen players and a team doctor being granted asylum in Uganda in 2013, and in 2009, nearly the entire senior squad failed to return from a trip to Kenya. Six players also fled during a tour to Angola as far back as 2007.
Eritrea has been ruled by a single man since gaining independence from Ethiopia in 1993. President Isaias Afwerki has governed with an iron fist, with no general election ever having taken place. His rule has been defined by indefinite mandatory national service, suffocating media control, and an economy kept on a tight leash by the state.
State media, which would ordinarily greet a historic qualification with fanfare and triumphalism, fell conspicuously silent. Planned celebrations in Asmara were cancelled once news of the absconding players emerged

Eritrea Crisis: 7 Players Vanish After AFCON Win; Who's To Blame?
Seven Eritrean players vanished after an AFCON win. This has reignited concerns over defections and life back home. Is this about football or a deeper story of fear and control? @rupharamani

Abiy carrying out his mercenary duty for his Emirati sugar daddy by ferrying RSF genociders.
UAE finally got karma at home, courtesy of Iran, for all the chaos they fueled across the Horn & North Africa, but I don't expect any self reflection or foreign policy course correction!
Umut Çağrı Sarı@umutcagrisariii
Unbelievable! Ethiopian Airlines is transporting UAE-backed RSF militias that have killed hundreds of thousands in Sudan, raped women, and looted the country.
