Nepal and Madagascar are oceans apart. The frustration of their youth over deeply entrenched govt corruption that failed to provide even basic services, however, is, similar. The new generation is least tolerant to corrupt govt sys, because they see it as direct threat to their

The Economist tries to make sense of the pattern of the aging autocrats in #Africa. #Eritrea's Isaias stands out, not fitting in any pattern. If you take that he has been a leader of one of the Eritrean Liberation Fronts from 1970 - 1991 (30 years), he would have served for 62

At height of Medemer, #PFDJ-backed #Eritrea|n Patriarch declared, “We shall be with Ethiopia.” Today, his entourage roams across Europe, desperate to breathe life into a dead PFDJ. Soon, we can expect a sermon that wraps a holy robe around Tsidmo. #Ethiopia

Eritrea is Burning – The Regime Has Launched a Nationwide Campaign Against Its Own People Dear Representatives, We write to you with deep sorrow and desperation, because what began as isolated atrocities in Mereta Sebene and Xenadegle has now spread across the entire country of

Alarming reports from Mareba, near Segeneyti (#Eritrea): military forces are placing families under house arrest, detaining women and children, and sealing homes to pressure relatives accused of evading indefinite national service. #RegimeChangeInEritrea @UNHumanRights

A picture of a thousand words! a silent cry from #Eritrea.our parents crying for their children forced endless conscription for a war no one benefits except the warmongering #PFDJ. The world must stop looking away! #RegimeChangelnEritrea @phelemawi @Mercy4ALL82 @martinplaut

This is Eritrea — a land that could have been paradise, a land full of sunlight, mountains, and beauty, but stolen by a cruel regime that has turned its own people into prisoners; a place where children sleep in the rain, mothers weep for sons who vanished, and fathers fade away

https://t.co/aqrkoOL0lX In their fear, self-serving, self-preservation, social pressure and ignorance driven conformity to totalitarian rule, pfdj loyalits internalize pfdj's ideologies and exhibit open lies and outright denials that reflects the vast cold & dark vacuum world

This “housing project” near Halibet Hospital is for loyal diaspora #Eritrea|ns, each house costs €113K. 11 years later, it’s still “in progress.” Isaias’s regime took the money, in 2014, then took a nap. Some say the delays are deliberate , to keep them hooked & loyal. #Ethiopia

#Eritrea, Africa’s only @FIFAcom member skipping the 2023–2025 World Cup qualifiers. If Alexander Isak were truly Eritrean, the same folks sharing his photo would call it a “career upgrade”: “Eritrea don’t need ball throwers, we train bomb throwers.” #Ethiopia

This was Isaias in 1999 at the 35th OAU Summit, visibly out of place. He’s never comfortable in real diplomatic settings, only in backroom deals with rebel leaders. He doesn’t know where to go or what to do. Yawning, looking around… and yawning again. #Eritrea #Ethiopia

Isaias is raiding homes, churches, monasteries, and mosques to round up every able-bodied person for forced conscription. As the drums of war grow louder on both sides, #Eritrea is driving its few remaining human resources into the fire. #Ethiopia

By deeds, not rhetoric, Isaias Afwerki has his own “success story”: he turned #Ethiopia’s talk from “ports are commodities” to “Assab is ours.” Congrats, #PFDJ, 34 years of failure turned into Ethiopia’s talking point. #Eritrea

Eritrea is home to people who have lived there for generations. Yet, under Isaias’s narrative, anyone who does not serve his agenda is stripped of their identity, defined as “non-Eritrean.” In Isaias’s #Eritrea, even the bodies of the dead are denied dignity. #Ethiopia

Today is the 12th anniversary of 369 Eritrean refugees who drowned in Lampedusa (Italy) exactly 12 years ago. As @meronina wrote, one of them was 22 years old and was giving birth as she was drowning. Her body was later found with an umbilical cord attached to her baby.

We were on the boat. We were the hope that drowned. We were the children. We were the youth. We were the mothers and fathers. We were those fleeing prisons, torture, and slavery. We carried hope, dreams, and life. But we were met by death. We were driven out by Isaias Afwerki

The 111 coffins were numbered — a teddy bear wearing a smile and a blue shirt with a heart was placed above casket No. 92. Never Forget. Lampedusa. Eritrea 💔
