#Eritrea will NOT compromise on its sovereignty. Its ports will NOT be open—even for commercial access—to an aggressor with expansionist ambitions. #Ethiopian regime is prisoner of its war agenda &is unable to extricate itself from the quagmire of its own making. The die is cast.

The Core Contradiction of Ethiopia’s Maritime Agenda The central destabilizing element in Ethiopia’s regional strategy is the irreconcilable gap between its strategic rhetoric of peaceful partnership, ad nauseamto mislead the international community, and its systematic deployment of revisionist claims, historical irredentism, and implicit military coercion designed to sway its own population toward a war of aggression against Eritrea. Peaceful intent cannot be established through periodic disclaimers while official state rhetoric continuously frames maritime access as an unyielding national mandate. To safeguard regional order, four legal and diplomatic principles must remain non-negotiable: 1. Access vs. Ownership: Commercial port access and long-term logistical leases do not require, and must never involve, the transfer of territorial sovereignty. 2. Inviolability of Historical Borders:Nostalgic historical claims and past arrangements confer zero legal entitlement to revise contemporary, internationally recognized sovereign borders, especially when, as in this case, those professed historical claims are themselves factually baseless. 3. The Fallacy of Demographic Entitlement: Economic scale and demographic size do not grant a larger state superior sovereignty over its neighbors or a right to coerce territorial concessions. 4. Collective Security vs. Unilateral Hegemony: Maritime security in the Red Sea is a collective responsibility of littoral states governed by international law, not a pretext for landlocked power projection or unilateral military overreach. shabait.com/2026/10/20/contr… @Chinamission2un @franceonu @RussiaUN @UKUN_NewYork @USUN @BahrainMsnNY @ColombiaONU @RDCongoONU @Denmark_UN @GRUN_NY @LatviaUN_NY @LibMissionUN @PakistanUN_NY @panamaonuny @SomaliaatUN #ERITREA #Ethiopia #HOA #RedSeaTensions

ERITREA: THE RED SEA'S UNSILENCED NATION Empires Came. History Remained. A People Refused to Disappear. By Abraham Gebremichael Before we speak of Eritrea's present, we must remember the depth of its past. To our followers across the world, this is more than a story of borders and battles. It is the story of a people whose history was written long before foreign powers arrived with their maps, flags, and ambitions. Eritrea is not merely a country you read about. It is a country you feel. Like the heartbeat of ancient mountains. Like the whisper of a sea that refuses to forget. Long before modern borders, the ancient port of Adulis connected Africa to Arabia and distant civilizations. Kingdoms rose, merchants crossed the waters, and generations built their lives along the Red Sea. Then came the empires. The Portuguese intervened in regional conflicts. The Ottomans captured Massawa in 1557. Egyptian rulers sought to extend their power. And then came Assab. In 1869, an Italian shipping company acquired land at Assab, establishing a foothold that would become a gateway to colonial expansion. In 1885, Italy occupied Massawa. By 1890, it had formally established the colony of Eritrea. But Assab was never merely a piece of coastline to be bought, occupied, or traded. It was part of a land whose history had begun centuries before foreign ships appeared on its horizon. And the highlands of Medri Bahri, in the land of today's Eritrea, answered not with surrender, but with wind, with stone, with warriors born of the mountain's silence. Empires came seeking dominion. Yet none could erase the people or their history. For the Red Sea is not merely water. It is memory. It remembers the ships of conquerors, the footsteps of traders, the prayers of pilgrims, and the generations who remained when empires faded. The Red Sea is the witness. Eritrea is the testimony. In 1952, Eritrea was federated with Ethiopia. In 1962, Ethiopia annexed it. A thirty-year liberation struggle, begun in 1961, ended in victory in 1991. Then came April 1993. From 23 to 25 April, Eritreans went to the ballot box. An overwhelming 99.83% voted YES to independence, in a referendum observed and verified by the United Nations. Even Ethiopia's transitional government had formally recognized the Eritrean people's right to self-determination and committed to respecting the outcome. The battlefield had secured liberation. The ballot box confirmed the people's will. And the world witnessed it. Eritrea's independence was not a gift. It was earned through sacrifice, courage, and an unbreakable determination for self-determination. Yet Eritrea is more than its battlefields. It is Asmara's architectural beauty, Massawa's coral-stone heritage, the turquoise waters of Dahlak, the majestic highlands, the volcanic landscapes of Dankalia, and the vast plains of Barka. And it is Assab, where the desert meets the Red Sea, a historic port whose shores have witnessed centuries of trade, ambition, and struggle. From Massawa to Assab, from the highlands to the lowlands, Eritrea's geography carries the memory of its people. Nine peoples. One homeland. Different languages, faiths, and traditions, united by a shared responsibility to protect their homeland and respect one another. Today, as powerful interests turn their attention once again toward the Red Sea, one truth must remain clear: Eritrea is not a pawn on anyone's chessboard. Its coastline is not a prize. Its sovereignty is not negotiable through threats. But defending independence is only part of our responsibility. We must also build a future worthy of those who sacrificed everything: a future of dignity, opportunity, peace, and hope for our children. Because a nation cannot live forever in its yesterday, no matter how glorious or painful that yesterday may be. Our history must be our foundation, not our prison. And when future generations ask what we did with the freedom entrusted to us, may our answer be greater than remembrance. May it be what we built together. The Red Sea remembers. The mountains remember. Assab remembers. The people remember. And Eritrea's story is still being written. Memory gave us roots. Sacrifice gave us freedom. Unity gives us strength. And the future must give our children wings. Glory to our martyrs. Strength to our people. #Eritrea

🚨 Tigray rebels claim to have killed more than 1,500 Ethiopian soldiers in two days of fighting 🔹 Claim comes after major hostilities resumed in September following reports of Ethiopian military gains and withdrawals in parts of Tigray 🔹 Neither the Ethiopian government nor the military has publicly responded to the rebel group's claims v.aa.com.tr/4094395

@AbiyAhmedAli The Chameleon who Changes colors shifting positions & changes the lies to suit the his political agenda. But history has a long memory & actions speak louder than words. #Eritrea’s sovereignty is not negotiable. No political maneuver can change that. #Ethiopian

@RStatecraft openly declared “sovereignty” is no longer a matter of principle. In that sense, it validates #Russia’s argument. @StateDept @EUSR_Weber @antonioguterres @MFAEgOfficial @MFA_China

Mengistu believed his enormous Soviet-equipped army could preserve his rule. In 1991, that illusion collapsed. Is Abiy Ahmed repeating the same fatal mistake? Imported drones, tanks and foreign military support cannot substitute for political legitimacy or national unity. History offers a warning. Will Abiy heed it? #Ethiopia #AbiyAhmed #Mengistu #HornOfAfrica

I swear I've been asking that very same question for weeks now: Who exactly is the target audience for this cheap, superficial and utterly fake display of concern for people he is either brutalising or threatening to invade? Who exactly is the target audience for all of the PPiopian propaganda, disinformation, historical revisionism, and straight lies? The 'world' is definitely not watching/hearing, and international media channels can't seem to grasp the distortion of facts and history coming out of Ethiopia. So ultimately, the target audience is the people of #Eritrea and #Ethiopia, and the aim is to terrorize them to thinking that #peace is not possible; that using people as cannon fodder is justified. #FightAbiysAggression #RespectEritreasSovereignty #UAEStopWarFinancing #UAEBloodInYourHands #Tsimdo #HornOfAfrica

#Ethiopia can't portray itself as an innocent victim while its leaders frame Red Sea access as a matter of national survival. Being landlocked doesn't grant Ethiopia a right to #Eritrea|n ports or territory. Article 2(4) of the UN Ch protects Eritrea’s.👇👉m.facebook.com/story.php?sto…

One of Ethiopia’s once-respected airlines is rapidly damaging its reputation not only through poor customer service, which we have already discussed and documented, but also over serious allegations of transporting military personnel and weapons into conflict zones. An airline should connect people, not become an instrument of war. If civilian aviation is being used to facilitate military operations, the public deserves transparency and accountability. Ethiopian Airlines must answer a fundamental question: Is it serving civilians, or helping fuel a war? The world deserves answers. Civilian aviation must not lose its purpose or its public trust to war. @StateDept @WhiteHouse @EUSR_Weber @antonioguterres @BBCWorld @CNN @AJEnglish @dwnews @Chinamission2un @franceonu @RussiaUN @UKUN_NewYork @USUN @BahrainMsnNY @ColombiaONU @RDCongoONU @Denmark_UN @GRUN_NY @LatviaUN_NY @LibMissionUN @PakistanUN_NY @panamaonuny @SomaliaatUN @flyethiopian #EthiopianAirlines

#Ethiopia’s main news agencies such as @fanatelevision and @ebczena are being used day in and day out to intoxicate the population with jingoistic, inflammatory messages about the Red Sea, a glorious and prosperous future through the occupation of Assab Port, the building of a navy, and so on. Yet these so-called media outlets remain tongue-tied while young men die or lose their eyes and limbs in the country’s major wars. Meanwhile, mothers and families across #Ethiopia are left in the dark, with no information about the fate of their children. How can the journalists live with themselves! There is no point to come up with a book of regret after the death and destruction of hundreds of thousands of people.

For a leader presiding over a nation sustained by tens of billions in foreign aid, debt write-offs, IMF bailouts, and perpetual humanitarian interventions to lecture Eritrea on development is the height of irony. Eritrea has endured wars, sanctions, and relentless external pressure, yet remains sovereign, stable, and independent. The real story is not Eritrea's resilience under adversity. It is why a country showered with international assistance still struggles with mass poverty while obsessing over access to another nation's coastline. Eritrea's future rests on its strategic Red Sea position, resources, and people. Sovereignty is not negotiable, and no amount of propaganda can change geography, history, or international law. #Eritrea #Sovereignty #RedSea #HornOfAfrica #SelfReliance #NationalUnity #NoToAggression #PeaceAndStability Mocking Eritrea's economy will not conceal Ethiopia's own contradictions. After decades of massive aid inflows, debt forgiveness, and repeated financial bailouts, Ethiopia's leadership still seeks external distractions while millions remain trapped in poverty. Eritrea owes its existence not to donors, but to sacrifice, resilience, and self-reliance. Those threatening "access to the sea" should first secure peace, stability, and prosperity within their own borders. Eritrea's sovereignty was won at immense cost and will not be compromised by threats, pressure, or revisionist ambitions. #Eritrea #RedSeaSecurity #SovereigntyMatters #HornOfAfrica #SelfReliance #PeaceNotAggression #NationalDignity A government sustained by aid, debt relief, and IMF rescues has little credibility lecturing Eritrea about development. Eritrea faced war, sanctions, and isolation, yet preserved what matters most: sovereignty, stability, and national unity. The obsession with Eritrea's coastline reveals more about Ethiopia's leadership failures than Eritrea's economic choices. Nations rise through productivity and good governance, not threats against neighbors. Eritrea's sovereignty is settled. The future belongs to peace, not expansionist fantasies. #Eritrea #Sovereignty #RedSea #HornOfAfrica #PeaceAndStability #NationalUnity #NoToExpansionism
