    Eritrea has now fully committed its armed forces to the war in Tigray. The UN, AU, and IGAD must stop pretending that this is an internal Ethiopian affair. It is an international conflict with grave implications for regional peace and security. #Ethiopia #Eritrea #Tigray #Sudan
    Heavy shelling in Adigrat city in #Tigray Region of Ethiopia, says @reda_getachew, adding as #Eritrean forces supporting ENDF taking up offensive positions in #Rama, #Tserona, #Zalambessa, and #Dallol fronts.

    So why does #Eritrea still produce more refugees per capita - especially youth โ€“ than any other country on the continent?
    I talked with the President today about the Future of the people. The youth have a lot to look forward to. They will know what true wealth is. #Eritrea #ministerofinspiration @ Asmara, Eritrea instagram.com/p/CYERHIgMOBa/โ€ฆ

    The arrest of former LCol Yusuf Abdi Ali 'Tukeh' is a hugely symbolic step in the pursuit of justice for victims of atrocity crimes perpetrated by the Siyaad Barre regime against the people of #Somaliland #warcrimes #crimesagainsthumanity #justice

    I want to thank everyone who contributed to this masterpiece: the Kenyan rent boy who published it, the squatters in Villa Somalia who paid for it and the PFDJ trolls who tweeted it. I wear it as a badge of honour. #Kenya #Somalia #Eritrea

    Ethiopian PM Abiy Ahmed expresses his shock, regret and solidarity with President Musa Bihi and the people of #Somaliland following the devastating fire last night in central Hargeysa. #Ethiopia

    Replying to @LaurenBinDC @SahanResearch and @CrisisGroup
    It's not enough for the #Ethiopian government to arrest and harass domestic media, expel foreign journalists and mobilise troll armies against its critics. Now it wants to impose its will on foreign governments as well. Fortunately #Kenya is still a vigorous democracy.

    Eye-opening visit to Berbera port with @BrenthurstF which is on track to become East Africa's largest container port after Mombasa. Thanks to for John Steenhuisen for the excellent op-ed.

    Sahan could have no better ambassador to such important African peace and security initiatives than @RAbdiAnalyst. I am proud and privileged to serve as his colleague.
    Great honour to brief our African elder, my friend and mentor, President Thabo Mbeki on the Horn on behalf of @SahanResearch at a meeting in Johannesburg today. Thank you Excellency, for the privilege.

    Voters queue to vote at Qoyta, near Burco #SomalilandElections2021. In 1992, our MSF team set up a 1st Aid post here for victims of factional fighting in Burco. Today its people vote for peace and democracy. This is genuine progress!

    Compelling and courageous reporting, defying the media blackout on Tigray to expose the horrors of this conflict. #Ethiopia #Eritrea #Tigray
    In January 2021, Ethiopian troops rounded up dozens of Tigrayan villagers, shot them dead, threw bodies over cliff. Mahbere Dego massacre one of worst atrocities of Tigray War. ARTE airs a special on event, talks to relatives, Ethiopian soldiers. arte.tv/fr/videos/1099โ€ฆ
