Potemkin Party's signature trademark has been aptly described by the formula: PP Propaganda = Lies + Deception + Delusion + Disinformation + "Dazzling" Optics. Indeed, the article (Al Jazeera, 11 June 2026) by mercurial Getachew Reda (PP's Advisor for East African Affairs); and Redwan Hussein, (PP's Director General for National Intelligence and Security Services) accentuates, in more graphic terms, this poignant reality. Let us revert to the facts: 1. The tragic war that ravaged Ethiopia for two years from 4 November 2020 until 2 November 2022 with devastating consequences stemmed from, and has its roots in, Ethiopia's internal and perennial ethnic cleavages. Eritrea was dragged into the imposed conflict at the behest of the Federal Government, and more importantly, due to the broad objectives of the war agenda that explicitly included and targeted Eritrea itself. This is on the public record. As one of the principal architects and fervent advocates of the war, Getachew Redda is intimately aware of all these facts; a matter that is easily validated by his numerous posts under his X handle in those tragic times. 2. At the end of the war, PP political and military leaders from the Prime Minister downwards, profusely expressed their profound gratitude to Eritrea. Again, this is on the public record. 2. Getachew Reda and Redwan Hussein weave a theatrical and fictitious story about the consternation of their South African Hosts in Pretoria as the "negotiating team from the two warring parties would get into a fist fight in the middle of the Conference Hall if not shepherded to steer clear of one another". 3. Problem with this fictitious and romanticized story is the Parties had, in fact, held secret meetings in Djibouti and Seychelles months back under the sponsorship of US and EU "Peace Facilitators". And as it was later divulged by Getachew Redda himself, the two Teams had contemplated prompt reconciliation, reportedly under the prodding of the PP Party, to join forces and wage a war of aggression against Eritrea that they both agreed was, in their contorted views, "the ultimate threat to them". These meetings took place in August 2022; when the war was still raging ferociously. A Confidential EU Report issued in September 2022 further corroborated this "imminent trend". 4. The Pretoria Agreement is essentially a peace-pact between warring sides in Ethiopia. It is, and remains, an Ethiopian affair; purely and exclusively. Eritrea's stance and support to the Pretoria Agreement stems from its principled desire and commitment to promote regional peace and stability. In this sense, Eritrea has neither the political appetite nor the interest to scuttle an agreement between Ethiopian political forces if all the parties indeed implement the provisions of the agreement in good faith. 5. In this perspective, PP's current propaganda and transparent disinformation campaigns, as epitomized by the article in question, are designed to re-package the unprovoked agenda of conflict and hostility that it has unleashed against Eritrea since December 2023 in the quest of what it calls "sovereign access to the sea", in "self-defense" terms. 6. The unfortunate fact is: it is PP's delusional agendas (illicit MOU with Somali-land; logistical and other military support to RSF under the bidding of other external forces; and provocative pronouncement, accompanied by unremitting saber-rattling, for acquiring Assab and other Eritrean coastal lands "through negotiations if possible and force if necessary" ) that are stoking unnecessary and avoidable tensions in the Horn.

Press Release: Tibor Nagy: political maverick with an axe to grind against Eritrea In his opinion column on the Horn of Africa published in the Avalanche Journal last week, Tibor Nagy resorts to his usual recipe of disparaging #Eritrea to dish out biased and presumptuous conjectures that are at variance with the principal causes and trajectories of the simmering tension in the region. This is not surprising in many respects. The former US Assistant Secretary of State for #Africa indeed lacks academic and analytical credentials, and more importantly, personal integrity and honesty as his lop-sided positions and views on the Horn of Africa are often influenced by his lobbying contracts and unorthodox political networks. His ardent lobbying these days for recognition of #Somaliland; his negative positions on the situation in the #Sudan are additional and illustrative cases in point. 1. In matters regarding Eritrea, Naggy was a pliable supporter of the Ethiopian regime’s violation of international law and continued occupation of Eritrean sovereign lands in breach of the Algiers Peace Agreement and the #EEBC “final and binding” Award when he was the US Ambassador in Addis Abeba. 2. Indeed, while the US was one of the guarantor’s of the #Algiers #Agreement, which contained explicit provisions for punitive measures against the recalcitrant party, Tibor Nagy continued to defend and apologize for the Ethiopian regime’s continued illicit occupation of sovereign Eritrean territories, including #Badme, for almost two decades in flagrant contravention of the Arbitral Award as well as its subsequent, pronounced, policy of “regime change” until 2018. In this perspective, the accolades he showers on the Ethiopian Prime Minister is neither accurate nor deserved as the new regime had only belatedly accepted, important as that was, to respect and adhere to its treaty obligations virtually 16 years after the Arbitral Award. 3. Tibor Nagy’s insinuation that Eritrea was an integral part of the 2000 years old Ethiopian #Empire prior to its independence is also pathetically wrong and panders to deliberately crafted mythology that has nothing to do with the actual history of the region. Prior to the advent of Italian colonialism in the late 19th century, modern-day Eritrea passed through long historical trajectories in which the western and eastern lowlands were under various external occupiers (#Ottoman Empire etc.) while independent indigenous fiefdoms presided over the rest of the country. Historical revisionism and invocation of mythologies are essentially peddled by those who wish to imbue some semblance of justification for the current regime’s expansionist ambitions. #Ethiopia and Eritrea “were one” in Tibor Nagy’s terms only from 1951 until 1991 when Eritrea was forcible annexed by Ethiopia by abrogating the “Federal Act”; the latter imposed on Eritrea against its inalienable rights of decolonization. Tibor Nagy’s reference to small Eritrea – the size of #Pennsylvania – etc. also falls in the same deceitful mold as sovereignty and territorial integrity of nations has no positive correlation whatsoever with geographic landmass. 4. Tibor Nagy’s eulogization of the Ethiopian Prime Minister as “a devout #Evangelical Christian who sees himself as a #Messianic leader doing God’s work on earth” is utterly false and risible, evidently concocted to appeal to certain constituencies in the US. Tibor Nagy has in fact exposed himself as the unscrupulous lobbyist that he is. His assertion that Ethiopia was the second nation in the world to adopt Christianity is cut from the same cloth and historically inaccurate as his other conjectures. This false assertion in fact obfuscates the reality that the #Red #Sea of Eritrea was the gateway for the introduction of Christianity and Islamic traditions into Africa. Incontrovertible historical and archeological findings illustrate that Christianity was introduced by the 4thCentury A.D. into this part of the Horn with the enterprise of Frumentius, a #Christian Monk from Tyre in Syria. The highlands of Eritrea were the locations for the earliest Christian communities in the Horn of Africa although the new faith also spread southwards to Ethiopia in concurrent times. 5. Tibor Nagy also seems to suffer from an apparently compulsive malaise of frenzied defamation of the Eritrean President. It is not clear whether this irrational hatred stems from an occupational hazard as a long-time hired lobbyist for Ethiopia; his personal/ideological loathing of independent policies espoused by Africa’s Statesmen; or the pretension of inconsequential little men who seek attention by throwing dirt on persons far beyond their pedigree and caliber. 6. In a nutshell, Tibory Nagy digresses to dwell on tangential and distorted narratives primarily and principally because his central objective is to divert attention from the root cause of the current problem: the Ethiopian regime’s willful and deplorable agenda of war and conflict in pursuit of what it calls “sovereign access to the sea” by invading the sovereign territory of its neighbor. This dangerous act cannot be justified and rationalized by other fallacious pretexts and narratives. Tibor Nagy is not, evidently, in a position to deliver on this account because he is under the beck and call of his financial sponsors; veritable cases, as it were, of “who pays the piper calls the tune”! #EritrePrevails

Professor Asmerom Legesse was the pioneering anthropologist,researcher &historian has passed away at the age of 95! My deepest condolences to his family, friends,loved ones, &Eritrean Ppl in general! May his soul rest in peace!🙏🏾 #Eritrea #ProfessorAsmerom #Oromo #GadaSystem

This message speaks about the power of privacy..

Seven years ago, this footage aired on Ethiopian state media (@fanatelevision). It proves that Ethiopian officials were aware that Eritrean soldiers didn't kill civilians. Killing against civilians were carried out by the Ethiopian troops. While @AbiyAhmedAli continues to mislead, his only audience remains his most devoted supporters. Furthermore, his hired lobbyist, @TiborPNagyJr, is actively disseminating misinformation on his behalf.

One of the shining stars in the Horn of Africa has fallen from our sky leaving behind legendary legacies of human, social & anthropological academic works for generations to come. May he rest in peace now and wish of condolence to the people of #Eritrea & #Ethiopia & his family

Rest in peace, Professor Asmerom Leggese; a profound and powerful political figure in #Eritrea & #Ethiopia. His passing will bring the light of an unshakable contribution of Eritreans for Ethiopia. Even though, the current #Oromo leadership in Ethiopia slander Eritrea and its contribution to the cause of the people of Oromo, Professor Asmerom Leggese glorified ‘‘ገዳ‘‘ system to the world. RIP

The prime minister’s latest speech address to parliament “ከኤርትራ ጋር ግጭት የጀመርነው የትግራይ ሕዝብን ሲነኩብኝ ነው” @AbiyAhmedAli But he also said this 👇 a few years back during his parliament speech This is much worse than I expected. He don't even pretend anymore to his shameless lies! #ERITREA #Ethiopia

ETHIOPIA — ⚠️ PM Abiy Ahmed once casually admitted Ethiopian troops initially fighting in Tigray wore Eritrean military uniforms. What he didn't tell is how that gave the Ethiopian military the perfect cover to carry out looting and other crimes and blamed it on Eritrea.

The right wants to talk about fraud? Somali fraud? Okay, give me 60 seconds.

Amid Tensions with Ethiopia: Eritrea Permanently Withdraws from IGAD In a surprising development, the Eritrean Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced Eritrea's official withdrawal from membership in the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), after formally notifying the organization's Secretary-General of the decision. The ministry attributed the decision to IGAD's failure to meet the aspirations of the region's peoples, particularly since 2005, when it transformed into a "harmful tool" against targeted member states, especially Eritrea. It noted that the organization has neglected its statutory obligations, thereby losing its legitimacy and becoming incapable of contributing to regional stability or economic integration. Eritrea had previously suspended its membership in April 2007, then reactivated it in June 2023 in hopes of reforms, but those hopes were not realized. No immediate official response has been issued by IGAD or other member states, such as Ethiopia, which is considered the most influential in the organization. The withdrawal comes amid escalating regional tensions in the Horn of Africa, including disputes over sea access and security. Source: shabait.com/2025/12/12/pre…

Press Release: #Eritrea has withdrawn its Membership from IGAD; Ministry of Foreign Affairs; Asmara, 12 December 2025 "Eritrea finds itself compelled to withdraw its membership from an organization that has forfeited its legal mandate and authority; offering no discernible strategic benefit to all its constituencies and failing to contribute substantively to the stability of the region". shabait.com/2025/12/12/pre…
