This is Pauline Lumumba, the woman who watched them kill her husband and then walked half-naked in protest. You may not have seen the photo, but it shows a Congolese woman, bare-chested, with her hair shaved, walking in the street crying, with a child tied on her back. That woman is Pauline Opangu Lumumba, the wife of Patrice Lumumba, in 1961. Patrice was only 35 years old and had been Prime Minister of Congo for just 67 days. His crime was that he declared, "Congo is not Belgium's property. Our gold, our copper, and our diamonds will feed our children." Because of those words, Belgium, America, and his own army chief, Mobutu, decided that he must die. On January 17, 1961, they took Patrice, together with Maurice Mpolo and Joseph Okito, to Katanga. Pauline recounts what happened to him in harrowing detail. She said they beat him for hours, pulled out his teeth, and forced him to eat his own speech papers. Then a Belgian officer, Gerard Soete, shot him. After that, they cut his body into pieces with a saw and poured acid over it to dissolve him, so that no grave would ever exist. There was no body, no grave, only acid. When they told Pauline, she did not scream. In Congolese tradition, she shaved her hair to mourn her husband. She removed her top to show the world, "You have stripped me of my husband. I have nothing left." Then she walked barefoot from Leopoldville to the place where they killed him, a journey of 1,000 km, with her baby on her back, singing his name all the way. Mobutu, who took part in killing her husband, went on to become President for 32 years with US support. Belgium kept Lumumba's gold tooth as a souvenir in a police station until 2020. Patrice Lumumba died because he wanted a united Africa, like Gaddafi. Pauline died in 2014, still waiting for his body to be buried, and she never remarried. That is the price of saying, "Africa for Africans." And you still think Africa's poverty is because we are lazy?

War is barbaric and evil. We can't let generation after generation in Eritrea and Ethiopia become scarred by the horrors of war. Both nations need a military that pledge an oath to a constitution not to an individual.

It's not just the foreign financed mercenaries. Abiy has turned Ethiopia itself to an instrument facilitating Emirati/Israeli looting & devastation of the entire Horn. Another puppet in a long line muppets. Every accusation is mere projection.
Confirmed: the Ethiopian government has brought mercenaries into Tigray to fight. 🇪🇹 The CEO of Thailand-based PMC Mstar Defense exposed their presence posting photos and footage of his fighters in the region. 🇹🇭 He also filmed graphic footage showing the bodies of TDF fighters.

Gaddafi had mercenaries fighting his own people in his last days. PP likes to talk about Ethiopia’s population reaching 130 million, but it can’t find enough people to fight for its cause.
Mstar Defense reportedly operates under Mstar Asia, registered in Thailand 🇹🇭 as 0745563003250 on 10 April 2020. Thai directories classify its current business as military equipment wholesaling but its latest financial filing lists real estate agency & brokerage. 1/

Rule of law + democracy = power to remove leaders who serve themselves, not the people. That's what the US election just proved & what Eritrea's authoritarian regime denies its people, trapped in darkness. Well done America, for voting change. Canada hopes for a friend again.

Mesfin Hagos, a veteran of Eritrea’s liberation struggle and former Minister of Defence, understands the price of freedom better than most. His warning is chilling: Isaias Afwerki does not want genuine peace because perpetual crisis allows him to perpetuate his rule, keeping an entire nation hostage to the excuse that “the time is not right.” Mesfin joined the liberation struggle in 1967, demonstrated exceptional leadership in major battles and later served as Minister of Defence. In 2001, he was among the G-15 who courageously demanded constitutional government, accountability and political reform. Thank you, Hon. Mesfin Hagos, for your sacrifices, courage and lifelong service to Eritrea and its people. History will remember and honour your contribution. Eritrea did not fight for independence to live under permanent fear and uncertainty. Our people deserve peace, constitutional government, justice, freedom and a future beyond Isaias Afwerki. No nation belongs to one man. Eritrea belongs to its people and Eritrea will be for Eritreans.

#Eritrea This is Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki, who has led our country for 35 years. As he walks into the entrance of the African summit in Russia, one cannot help but reflect on Eritrea’s position in the international community. After decades in power, our country appears increasingly isolated, with limited meaningful diplomatic engagement. For years, Eritrea has been kept behind closed doors, isolated from the world and disconnected from opportunities for international cooperation. Now, seeing our president at this international gathering raises serious questions about the state of our country’s diplomacy and international relationships. I feel deeply sorry for our people and the country we all love. For decades, Eritrea has been governed under an iron-fisted system, leaving our nation isolated from much of the international community. The absence of democratic institutions, the lack of accountability, and years of diplomatic isolation have taken a tremendous toll on our country and its people.
President Isaias was in Moscow for the Russia-Africa Summit. In an interview with Sputnik, he made it abundantly clear he was “not coming from the vantage point of Eritrea and Eritrean interests because it has nothing to do with the reality on the ground.” One is at a loss what to make of such a statement coming, as it does, from a leader of an impoverished nation that spends most of its meager resources more to bankroll destabilizing campaigns throughout the region than in building badly needed clinics or schools. Far from pursuing bilateral relations that could perhaps help improve the plight of his people, he has made it perfectly clear he is more interested in ‘righting the wrongs’ in the global financial system including addressing the containment policy against Russia than in taking care of bread and butter issues of the people of Eritrea. In light of President Isaias’ proclivities to punching above his weight, such grandstanding is not entirely out of character. What’s so striking about his remarks in Moscow, however, his dismissal of the relevance of individual countries’ cases including that of Eritrea as agenda in the summit in Moscow called exactly to address Russia’s relations with African countries. Many on social media were commenting on President Isaias’ dejected look, with his hands loosely hanging by his waist, and looking confused and out of place. Indeed, for a casual observer, the Eritrean president cut a sad figure throughout the summit and appeared to have difficulty fitting in the hustle bustle in Moscow. But that’s beside the point. The bottomline is President Isaias didn’t hold any bilats, didn’t address the gathering nor proffer his unsolicited views on global order to the Summit. He was just too bored to broach such silly subjects as Russo-Eritrean relations or Russo-African relations. If anything, this is yet another admission by the Eritrean President for life that when it comes to his priorities as a leader it is the unfairness in the global order, not Eritrea’s national interest, that comes front and center. After all, Eritrea has always been too small a project for a president whose imperial overreach knows no boundaries.

Ethiopia is led by a mad man! Abiy is a moisturized, better-groomed, and sleeker version of Mengistu Hailemariam.
News: PM Abiy’s #Medemer gov’t senior leadership taking ‘military training’ at #Hurso center In a statement outlining the rationale for the training, Abiy said the Medemer Government ‘s ambition to “build Ethiopia’s civilization” based on comprehensive prosperity required leaders who were physically developed, morally strong, intellectually prepared, and mature in wisdom. “Military science, experience, and life are unrivaled in shaping human purpose and personality,” Abiy said, arguing that military institutions instill physical and moral discipline, work ethic, teamwork, and readiness to carry out assigned responsibilities. addisstandard.com/?p=60800

This is the same like the Noble Peace Prize awarded to the prime minister of #Ethiopia. These institutions are not what they claim to be. Shameful.
Tomorrow, Eritrea’s regime will Chair the U.N. Human Rights Council’s 2026 Social Forum. Eritrea’s credentials: 🇪🇷 No elections 🇪🇷 Rape and torture 🇪🇷 Forced labor and slavery 🇪🇷 Jails critics and journalists 🇪🇷 Known as “the North Korea of Africa”

As always, DIA lectures the world about what everyone should or shouldn’t do, claiming he has all the answers. But we gave him 35 years to build our country , and look where we are #Eritreans scattered as refugees across the world while our people back home struggle for the most basic necessities. 35 years of lectures, zero accountability. #Eritrea

The real betrayal is denying those who fought for Eritrea’s independence, prosperity & justice their day in court, while remaining in power without implementing the constitution approved by Parliament. N.B.: PIA is working with the same people he accused Drue of working with.😡

While the rest of the world has condemned and turned their backs on Putin's Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, African dictators shamelessly line up like little poodles seeking validation and aid from Moscow.

Ethiopian governments cry ‘Red Sea’ and drag Ethiopia to the grave with them. What good is another country’s sea if Ethiopia itself is lost? Leaders have pursued this daydream for 75 years at the nation’s expense, wrecking the home of tens of millions who speak 80 languages. Forget the past. Forget the Red Sea. Look at today. Your only task is to save the Ethiopian people.
