The fire-fighter, is back home!

Post by Zmeselo » 06 May 2021, 05:28




Pre. Isaias & delegation accompanying him returned home at 11:00 a.m. today after a fruitful, 2-day, working visit to Sudan. Highlights of visit include: enhancement of bilateral ties by embarking on tangible cooperation in selected fields; continuation of consultative regional forum.
Yemane G. Meskel: @hawelti


Visit of Eritrea’s President to Sudan underlined:-
- warm relations
- convergence of views on key issues
- determination to consolidate bilateral ties - shared vision on Horn Of Africa cooperation.

Contrary to claims of some, this is good news. Continued dialogue, consultation can only help region. Hope US Envoy, set to arrive shortly, avoids misguided approach of past & seeks to work cooperatively/positively with Eritrea + others in HoA.

The National Council of Eritrean Americans, response to the PBS documentary. (US TV @frontlinepbs aired an old docudrama film, produced 6 years ago, for the smear campaign against Eritrea at Geneva. It coincided with the visit of US Special Envoy to the Horn region, to do Coercive Diplomacy & disruption of peace. PBS: propaganda at its best.)

Ethiopia departs from EPRDF’s sham elections: Activist

https://www.press.et/english/?p=34277&f ... -zHwKPE-8Q#

May 6, 2021



• The TPLF pitted one ethnic group, against the other.

ADDIS ABABA- The current Ethiopian government has taken unprecedented steps to make the forthcoming General Elections participatory, democratic and credible and by all measures the process is greatly departed from EPRDF’s five sham elections, a renown political activist said.

Appeared on France 24’s television debate, the activist and Global Ethiopian Advocacy Nexus member, Neamin Zeleke, stated that the election process has steadily been making progress; and this is a manifestation of the strengthening of a democratic culture in Ethiopia.

Amidist of existing and emerging challenges, the incumbent has demonstrated its commitment to transition towards a democratically elected government and currently there are forty-seven political parties are competing for the 547-seat parliament and state councils, Neamin added. The government has also tried its level best to create a plain field for all political parties in terms of budget and air time allocation, which enabled the electorates to make rational decisions.
The 2015 General Elections which the TPLF-dominated EPRDF claimed 100 percent win was an ideal example of the sham elections, full of irregularities. Consequently, the electorate and international community’s trust in the credibility of the election’s outcome was in a historic low.
Applauding government’s efforts to see overwhelming public participation in the June’s elections, the activist said that over 12 and five million voters are registered to cast votes in Oromia and Amhara States respectively. Voter’s registration is going well in other parts of the country except in Tigray, due to the current situation in the state.

As to Neamin, the highly-repressive and minority-dominated regime of Meles Zenawi and TPLF known internationally in orchestrating pseudo-elections and violated the electorate’s right to use their cards to choose their representatives. TPLF is infamous, for defying the will of the people.
The cruel quasi-Nazi fascistic TPLF, that claims to represent the Tigray people has committed grave human right violations in Ethiopia and instituted ethnic federalist system that fitted each ethnic group against the other.
TPLF’s legacy is persisting today, by some ethnonationalists who have committed killings and tortured people belonging to a certain ethnic group.
Stating Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed (PhD) is always in a position to struggle for democracy and human rights, he claimed that ethnonationalists’ false narrative is the main reason for the sporadic violence in Ethiopia, in particular in Oromia State.

By the same token, TPLF associate ethnonationalists who have taken extreme positions have been engaged to hamper the peaceful balance that exist between ethnicities and religions with a view to destabilizing Ethiopia, Neamin remarked.

Duplicitous approaches & attitudes of certain western countries &"pundits", is really baffling & difficult to fathom. Instances are numerous. Consultative Frameworks & Summits between some HOA countries are described in pejorative terms & misconstrued as weakening/fragmenting IGAD.

Normative disputes & disagreements between HOA countries are inflated beyond proportion & portrayed in apocalyptic terms. Simmering row between UK & France - both members of NATO - due to fishing rights is neither perceived in the same light nor reported with the same alarm tone.

These countries form "coalitions of the willing" & cross oceans & high seas, to "stabilize hot spots". Yet they have no qualms to condemn - & even criminalize - minimal security architectures & frameworks among HOA countries, to stabilize grave security threats in their neighborhood.

High time, for introspection. High time, to discard, disparaging attitudes & approaches. High time, to recognize local wisdom & capabilities - (even with formidable challenges, local actors are not, surely, political toddlers/pigmies). High time, to respect and listen to the region!

ፕረሲደንት ኢሰያስ: ከም እሙን ዓርኪ ንለገሰ ዜናዊ (መለስ): ከም ኣቦ ንሰምሃል መለስ ሓቚፉ ኣብ ቀርኒ ኣፍሪቃ ክሃንጾ ዝደሊ ዝነበረ ንህዝብታት ኢትዮ-ኤርትራ ዘርብሕ ሰላም ብቕንዕና የማኽር። መለስ ክፉእ ከኣ ተንኮል ተሓንጊጡ ይሰምዖ። President Isaias, as a good & loyal friend & as a "dad" hugging Semhal Meles in his arms, honestly advises of his vision and what he wants to build in the Horn for the interest of the peoples' of Eritrea & Ethiopia. The evil Meles nods in agreement, whilst harboring ill thoughts.

And then, you got this:


Another awesome example, of great reporting on our region. So many of the so-called leading experts, analysts, commentariat on our region are more Austin Powers than James Bond. So sad and funny, at the same time.

And "Lords", who claim to know everything.

Anyways, greetings from Massawa & its old architecture:

Some street steps that bridge the undulating terrain of #AsmaraAfricaModernistCity - a UNESCO Heritage Site. A couple of skips up & down these high altitude climbs, will meet a day's fitness plan 😇. "Levers, for Building the Eritrea We Want".
