Eritrea’s 35 Years of Dictatorship: A Threat to the People and Regional Stability. For 35 years, #Eritrea’s authoritarian regime has brought its people repression, suffering, and mass displacement. Unable to live in freedom and dignity in their own country, countless Eritreans have been forced to flee in search of safety and a better future. Among the darkest chapters of this tragedy were the Eritrean refugee camps in #Ethiopia’s Tigray region. These camps provided shelter and a fragile sense of security to Eritreans fleeing oppression. The international community also offered humanitarian assistance to refugees seeking protection. However, when Eritrean forces entered #Tigray, these refugee communities suffered devastating consequences. Camps that had served as places of refuge were destroyed, exposing already vulnerable Eritrean refugees to further suffering, insecurity, and displacement. Those who had fled persecution in their homeland were once again left facing hardship and uncertainty. What is particularly troubling today is the apparent alignment between the TPLF, now politically weakened following its conflict, and the very Eritrean regime whose actions have caused immense suffering among Eritreans. Such political alignments raise serious questions about principles, accountability, and whether political interests are being placed above the interests and well-being of ordinary people. The question today is clear: Can Ethiopia achieve lasting peace and stability in the region while the Eritrean authoritarian regime continues to operate as it does? If genuine peace is to prevail between the peoples of Eritrea and Ethiopia, the root causes of instability must be addressed. A regime that denies its own people fundamental freedoms and contributes to regional insecurity cannot be ignored. Diplomatic engagement alone cannot guarantee lasting peace without accountability, respect for human rights, and meaningful political change. The solution is not hostility between the Eritrean and Ethiopian peoples. It is an end to authoritarian rule, freedom for the Eritrean people, and a future built on justice, democracy, mutual respect, and peaceful coexistence.** A free Eritrea is essential not only for the dignity of its people but also for lasting stability across the Horn of Africa. Freedom and justice for Eritrea. Peace and solidarity between the peoples of Eritrea and Ethiopia.💙✊ #EBRF #TransnationalRepression #BlueRevolution #RegimeChangeInEritrea #NoMorePFDJTerror #HumanRightsForAll #FreeEritrea #HumanRights #Democracy #HornOfAfrica #EritreanJusticeSeekers @BeyeneGerezghe1 @CmaDawit @BereketKahsai1 @EGerasouli35992 @BradSherman @darrell @KjetilTronvoll @TiborPNagyJr @martinplaut @mrubin1971 @SenateForeign @washingtonpost @senatorscarr @SenAdamSchiff @SenatorDurbin @tedcruz @DrJPPham @SenJeffMerkley @DrChTouati @UN_HRC @UN @hrw @amnesty @IntlCrimCourt @washingtonpost @BBC @AJEnglish @_AfricanUnion @afric_insde

So proud of #EBRF‼️
Honoured to meet with the #EBRF local representative and supporters in the United States. We shared memorable moments and had productive discussions about our shared vision and strategic priorities. The #EBRF political and diplomatic network continues to grow stronger across the U.S., expanding our partnerships and advancing our mission for a free, democratic Eritrea founded on the rule of law.

This weekend, from our public meeting in Seattle to chapter discussions in Israel, we in EBRF met openly, debated freely and decided together on the next steps of our struggle. Inside Eritrea, Isaias Afwerki and the PFDJ have made exactly this impossible for more than two decades, with no national election, no National Assembly since 2002 and a constitution locked in a drawer. Our town halls show the Eritrea we are building, and we have a clear plan for a peaceful, democratic transition through regime change. We ask our partners to protect Eritreans abroad who join these meetings from intimidation, threats against their families and the coerced 2% tax. @martinplaut @KjetilTronvoll @EGerasouli35992 @dw_politics #EBRF #BlueRevolution #RegimeChange #Eritrea #TransnationalRepression
Across the diaspora this weekend, Eritreans are doing something the PFDJ has not allowed inside Eritrea for more than two decades: meeting openly, debating freely, and deciding together. From the EBRF public meeting in Seattle to chapter discussions in Israel, members of the Eritrean Blue Revolution Front are gathering to assess the current situation and plan the next steps of a peaceful struggle. Questions are asked, leaders answer, disagreements are voiced, and no one is jailed for speaking. Compare that with Asmara. Eritrea has never held a national election since independence. The National Assembly has not met since 2002. The 1997 constitution was ratified and then shelved. Journalists, ministers and ordinary citizens arrested in 2001 have never seen a courtroom. This is why EBRF's program matters. Under @BlueFront90547 and the leadership of @BeyeneGerezghe1, EBRF calls for: - a peaceful, time-limited transition with clear deadlines - an implemented constitution, not a document locked in a drawer - independent courts and due process for every detainee - an elected parliament that decides on war and peace - an end to indefinite national service - good-neighbourly diplomacy with Ethiopia, Sudan, Djibouti and the Red Sea states The town halls we hold abroad are a preview of the Eritrea we are building: citizens who organise peacefully, hold their leaders accountable and choose their own representatives. We ask our partners to protect this civic space too. Eritreans who attend these meetings too often face intimidation, pressure on their families back home and coerced "2% tax" demands. @StateDept @AsstSecStateAF @SenateForeign @HouseForeign @RepJoeWilson @TiborPNagyJr, standing with the Eritrean people means supporting a peaceful, democratic transition and confronting transnational repression wherever it reaches. #EBRF #BlueRevolution #RegimeChangeInEritrea

It’s deeply troubling to hear @nahlav UN Coordinator in Eritrea speak of progress while gross human rights violations have been extensively documented & Eritreans denied right to live as human beings? Where is the accountability?

Proud to see the #EBRF network growing stronger across the United States. Meetings like this show that Eritreans are organizing with purpose for a free and democratic #Eritrea built on the rule of law. The regime’s #TransnationalRepression has failed to silence the diaspora our people continue to meet, plan, and build real partnerships. The #BlueRevolution is rising, and the days of #PFDJ terror are numbered. #EBRF #TransnationalRepression #BlueRevolution #RegimeChangeInEritrea #NoMorePFDJTerror @CmaDawit @EGerasouli35992

The reality of life in Eritrea cannot be hidden by #PFDJ apologists. The Eritrean people continue to live in suffering under the regime’s oppression. This video is from 45 years ago, dating back to the era of # #HaileSelassie .
A NATION THAT FOUGHT FOR 30 YEARS, YET CHOSE PEACE. 🇪🇷 The late Prof. Asmerom Legesse — lawyer, sociologist, and anthropologist — captured something profound about Eritrea: a nation forged through decades of war that emerged from liberation with a remarkable commitment to peace and the rule of law. “We are a nation of laws, and the laws are ours, 100 percent.” Think about the depth of those words. Thirty years of armed struggle. Forty years scarred by war. Yet, in the aftermath of liberation, Eritrea stood as a people determined to shape their own destiny, guided by laws they could call their own. There is something deeply rooted in the Eritrean experience an indigenous spirit of self-reliance, collective identity, and the conviction that sovereignty means more than a flag or a border. It means the right of a people to govern themselves. Eritrea did not fight for thirty years simply to inherit a nation. It fought to reclaim the right to define one. And in Prof. Asmerom Legesse’s words, we hear the enduring echo of that struggle: a people who fought for their freedom, and who, in the moment of liberation, demonstrated that the strength of a nation is not measured by the wars it wages, but by the peace it strives to build. May his words and his legacy continue to inspire reflection on Eritrea’s remarkable journey. #Eritrea 🇪🇷 #AsmeromLegesse #EritreanHistory #Sovereignty #RuleOfLaw

Nothing new for #Eritrean dictator & regime. This is why they’ve ruled with iron-fist with☝🏽man &☝🏽party for 35 yrs failing to ratify a democratic constitution & laws. & this is why we should fully support & stand in solidarity with @BlueFront90547 & #RegimeChangeInEritrea! @UN
Bakri Humed exposed the corruption scandal surrounding Yemane Gebreab (Monkey) Isaias’s right hand/political adviser and his wife, Weini Gebrezgabihr, who happens to be the Chargé d’Affaires at the Eritrean Embassy in Saudi Arabia. Their corruption network and abuse of power must be exposed.

A new analysis argues that Eritrea's Red Sea coastline and ports could make it Israel's next indispensable ally in the Horn of Africa. We in EBRF agree that Eritrea and Israel share real strategic interests, but no lasting partnership can be built with Isaias Afwerki. For over thirty years he and the PFDJ have traded Eritrea's coast to whichever foreign power helps keep them in power, while Eritreans live without elections, a parliament or the rule of law. EBRF has a strong movement in Israel and a plan for a democratic transition through regime change in Asmara. A free Eritrea with an elected, accountable government will be the stable Red Sea partner Israel and the West need. @mrubin1971 @EGerasouli35992 @BeyeneGerezghe1 @RepJoeWilson #EBRF #BlueRevolution #RegimeChange #Eritrea #RedSea

Eritrea's Red Sea coast is once again being discussed as a strategic asset, this time as a possible anchor for partnership with Israel and the West. EBRF welcomes that conversation, but it has to start from one honest point: a coastline is not a partner. A government is. For more than three decades, Isaias Afwerki and the PFDJ have rented out Eritrea's ports and goodwill to whichever outside power helps keep them in place, while Eritreans themselves have had no national election, no sitting National Assembly since 2002, and the 1997 constitution still shelved. Agreements signed with one man end with that man. They cannot give Israel, the United States or Europe the predictability that real security cooperation needs. EBRF's program offers something different: a peaceful, Eritrean-led democratic transition, constitutional governance, elected and accountable institutions, an independent judiciary, and an end to indefinite national service. Under the leadership of @BlueFront90547 and @BeyeneGerezghe1, and with an active EBRF community in Israel and across the diaspora, we are already building the civic structures a free Eritrea will need on day one. A democratic Eritrea, governed by the rule of law and answerable to its own citizens, will be the stable, trustworthy Red Sea partner the region and its friends are looking for. Partners in Washington and Jerusalem should invest in that future, not in prolonging the past. @StateDept @AsstSecStateAF @SenateForeign @HouseForeign @RepJoeWilson @TiborPNagyJr @mrubin1971 #EBRF #BlueRevolution #RegimeChangeInEritrea #RedSea

@nahlav Ms. Valji, we know you're @UN coordinator to #Eritrea but we're completly lost to what you actually do? #Eritrea has shown 0️⃣ improvements, still! We don't see any outcome of @UN Agenda 2030 initiatives working & right now the #Eritrean people are without drinking water!

Looking back at this memory from some 2 years ago. Check out the pristine and peaceful Red Sea waters off Massawa, #Eritrea. It really is a sight for sore eyes, especially in the early morning before the sun gets too hot😍
