ETHIOPIAโ€™S OVERTLY DECLARED WAR AGENDA AGAINST ERITREA (Verbatim Statements by Ethiopian Government Senior Officials denigrating Eritreaโ€™s Sovereignty) The Potemkin Party is engaged, these days, in a frenzied and deceitful diplomatic campaign to re-package the unprovoked war that it has declared against Eritrea for over three years now in โ€œself-defense garbโ€. As illustrated in the link below, the regime has leveraged, throughout this period without let-up, all its political, media and military institutions to indoctrinate its population, and especially the youth, with incendiary propaganda to normalize and rationalize a war of aggression against Eritrea. To this end: 1. Eritreaโ€™s Statehood and hard-won independence were, and continue to be, denigrated as โ€œa conspiratorial Project conceived by external forcesโ€. These inflammatory and provocative positions constitute brazen violations of international law and the sovereignty and integrity of a UN member State. 2. The Eritrean sovereign port of Assab is often depicted as โ€œstolen Ethiopian landโ€ that must be retrieved to โ€œcorrect a historical mistakeโ€. This falsehood and revisionist narrative of history is peddled to justify its agenda of โ€œsovereign access to the seaโ€. 3. Eritreaโ€™s southern coastal land must also be annexed to provide โ€œstrategic depthโ€ to Ethiopiaโ€™s phantom navy. 4. Even prior to its declaration of war against Eritrea through the announcement of its Leader to the House of Peoples Representatives on 13 October 2023, and as early as July-August 2022 while the war in the Tigray Administrative Region was still raging, the Potemkin Party had sought to create an alliance with the TPLF to wage war against Eritrea which it had dubbed as the โ€œultimate enemyโ€ of both entities. 5. The Potemkin Party also ramped up, inconsequential as it may be, its hostile activities of sponsoring subversive groups (โ€œRASDOโ€, โ€œGreen Islamic Movementโ€, and another obscure outfit classified as a foreign-based terrorist Group by Germanyโ€™s Prosecutor Office) for the purposes of โ€œregime changeโ€. 6. The intensive war campaign and relentless saber-rattling have been accompanied by massive weapons purchasing spree; mostly underwritten by external forces. shabait.com/2026/11/02/ethioโ€ฆ

๐Ÿšจ THE TRUTH EXPOSED: #Ethiopian Government Mediaโ€™s Misrepresentation of President ErdoฤŸanโ€™s Position on Red Sea Access. ๐Ÿ”น๐Ÿ”น๐Ÿ”น On 29 October 2026, during the celebration of the 103rd Anniversary of the Republic of #Tรผrkiye in #Asmara, Mr. Mehmet Kรผรงรผksakallฤฑ, Ambassador of the Republic of #Tรผrkiye to #Eritrea, set the record straight on President Recep Tayyip ErdoฤŸanโ€™s actual position regarding Ethiopiaโ€™s pursuit of sea access during his visit to Addis Ababa in February 2026. ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ท President ErdoฤŸan reaffirmed Tรผrkiyeโ€™s commitment to respecting the #sovereignty and territorial integrity of states in the Horn of Africa, underscoring the importance of addressing regional issues through dialogue, cooperation, and mutual understanding. Importantly, President ErdoฤŸan did not explicitly promise #Ethiopia sovereign access to the Red Sea, nor did he commit Tรผrkiye to supporting any territorial claims. As President ErdoฤŸan clearly stated: ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ โ€œI would like to particularly emphasize Tรผrkiyeโ€™s position of respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of states in the region where Ethiopia is located.โ€ ๐Ÿ“ข However, #Ethiopian government-owned media presented his remarks as though he had explicitly pledged support for Ethiopiaโ€™s sea-access ambitions, creating a misleading impression of Tรผrkiyeโ€™s position. **************||************* ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ท THE MESSAGE IS CLEAR: Respect for sovereignty, internationally recognized borders, and territorial integrity is non-negotiable. No countryโ€™s ambitions can override another nationโ€™s sovereignty. Sovereignty must be respected. Territorial integrity must be upheld. International law must prevail. @DahlaKib @Yehdavid @habte_ab16868 @hadnetkeleta @Assab_Eritrea @Nora_isle @tewerwari_1 @RedSeaBeacon @SebleEphrem @DanielTeklai_ER @Ghidewon x.com/shabait/stat @SirakBahlbi @GhideonMusaAron @itsEritrea @eri_id_ @teamehaile4

Oh, wow. Abiy's regime in #Ethiopia is relying heavily on foreign mercenaries--not just for drones. This video proves foreign military personnel are active in #Tigray (and probably #Amhara, too), confirmed by the Tigrinya dialect spoken in the recording.
๐Ÿšจ URGENT: Mercenary personnel have been spotted in Tigray, near the Eritrean border. There have been reports that several Israeli and Emirati military operatives are assisting the Abiy Ahmed regime with technical and intelligence operations, reportedly involving drone warfare and air defence systems. #Ethiopia

Eritreans worldwide are actively engaging with and supporting the Government of Eritrea! Beyond Geography: Eritreaโ€™s Irreplaceable Role in the Red Sea and the Horn of Africa! Eritrea's strategic significance arises from the interplay of geography, history, and political agency. Its Red Sea coastline places it along a crucial maritime corridor, while historical ties connect Africa and Arabia. Furthermore, Eritrea's struggles and resistance have shaped its commitment to sovereignty and national independence. These factors matter more as instability spreads across the Horn of Africa and the Red Sea region. The crises in Sudan, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia, and Yemen may differ in origin, but together they highlight the dangers of prolonged conflict, fragmented authority, and competition for regional influence. The future of this strategically vital region will depend, in part, on whether its states and their international partners can move beyond zero-sum thinking and work towards arrangements based on mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and shared interests. Eritrea's strategic location and resilience in overcoming orchestrated conflicts and external pressures, along with its success in fostering a self-reliant nation, ensure it will remain an irreplaceable stakeholder in the future of the Red Sea and the Horn of Africa. #EmbassyMedia

Ethiopia has one of Africaโ€™s largest armies on paper, but numbers donโ€™t equal readiness. Multi-front wars, low pay, poor equipment, and high casualties still leave ENDF overstretchedโ€”hence reliance on foreign mercenaries and UAE support despite the size claims.

Several seminars have provided a platform to share perspectives and foster solidarity among participants. Many expressed a strong commitment to their responsibilities as Eritreans living abroad, pledging to contribute positively to their homeland's development and stability. Their collective efforts highlight a deep connection to Eritrea and a readiness to stand together in support of its progress. #EmbassyMedia
