Today Eritrea's information minister Yemane G. Meskel again accused Ethiopia's Prosperity Party of preparing an invasion to seize Red Sea coastline and raise a flag on the sea. War talk is real, yet Eritrean families already live under indefinite national service, with no national election since independence and a 1997 Constitution that was never put into force. The PFDJ turns every border crisis into a license to rule without consent. The Eritrean Blue Revolution Front organizes for a constitutional elected government that can defend sovereignty through law and diplomacy, keep Assab open under civilian authority, and end the cycle in which fear of war becomes the regime's only claim to power. @BradSherman @AbiyAhmedAli @afric_insde @reda_getachew #EBRF #BlueRevolution #TransnationalRepression #NoMorePFDJTerror

Yemane Gebremeskel, the PFDJ's minister of disinformation, has blamed Ethiopia's ruling party for wars in Tigray and Amhara, for clashes in Moyale, and for tension with Eritrea, Somalia and Sudan. We in EBRF say this speech hides the record of Isaias Afwerki and the PFDJ. They have ruled Eritrea without elections for more than three decades and keep families under indefinite national service. Lasting Horn peace will not come from that dictatorship. We have a plan and we are organizing for a democratic Eritrea that can live at peace with its neighbors. @TiborPNagyJr @afric_insde @WeldetnsaeG @BereketKahsai1 #EBRF #BlueRevolution #RegimeChange #Eritrea #PFDJ
#Eritrea's Information Minister @hawelti has sharply criticised #Ethiopia's ruling Prosperity Party, blaming its policies for escalating domestic conflicts and rising tensions across the Horn of Africa. He linked the wars in #Tigray and #Amhara and the recent Somali–Oromia clashes in Moyale to what he described as the government's failed governance approach. Gebremeskel also accused Addis Ababa of deliberately creating tensions with Eritrea, #Somalia and #Sudan, warning against further militarisation and regional instability.

Eritreans in Sudan fled indefinite national service. Many now live through Sudan's war with little protection. Yet the PFDJ embassy gathers them in Port Sudan and Suakin to ask for one thing: strengthen regime organizations, serve its "public diplomacy", and stay loyal. That is not care for citizens abroad. It is the long reach of a one-party state that has never let Eritreans choose their leaders, and that treats refugees as a source of the 2% tax and of silence. Sovereignty belongs to the Eritrean people, not to Isaias Afwerki or the PFDJ. @BlueFront90547 and the Eritrean Blue Revolution Front stand for a peaceful democratic transition and a very different relationship between Eritreans and their state: - Restore the 1997 Constitution and the rule of law. - An elected National Assembly, so that no party office or embassy speaks for the people without a mandate. - Independent courts, and freedom for political prisoners. - An end to indefinite national service, so young people are no longer forced to flee. - Embassies that serve and protect Eritreans abroad instead of monitoring and taxing them, and a foreign policy built on mutual understanding, as @BeyeneGerezghe1 and EBRF diplomacy put forward. EBRF is organizing Eritreans in Sudan and across the diaspora around this plan. Transnational repression should have no place in the Horn of Africa or in host countries. @StateDept @AsstSecStateAF @SenateForeign @HouseForeign @RepJoeWilson @Refugees @TiborPNagyJr #EBRF #BlueRevolution #RegimeChangeInEritrea #TransnationalRepression

A new report on Canadian mining and forced labour in Eritrea is another reminder of what Isaias Afwerki and the PFDJ have sold for decades: indefinite national service treated as cheap labour, and no independent courts to protect workers or communities. @BlueFront90547 and the Eritrean Blue Revolution Front (#EBRF) reject that model. Our path is a peaceful democratic transition under the 1997 Constitution: an elected National Assembly that makes labour and investment law, independent courts that end forced labour and free political prisoners, and an end to indefinite national service so Eritreans work by choice, not by decree. Diplomacy under @BeyeneGerezghe1 starts from mutual understanding with neighbours and partners who respect a people, not a one-man economy built on coercion. Rule of law is not a slogan. It is how Assab, Massawa, and the highland mines can finally serve Eritreans. @StateDept @AsstSecStateAF @SenateForeign @HouseForeign @RepJoeWilson @TiborPNagyJr @_hudsonc @martinplaut #EBRF #BlueRevolution #RegimeChangeInEritrea
A new report finds Canadian mining firms dodge blame for deaths in Africa and for labour in Eritrea that investigators called slavery, including forced labour used at Nevsun's Bisha mine. We in EBRF say this is what Isaias Afwerki and the PFDJ sell to investors: indefinite national service as cheap labour, with no elections and a 1997 Constitution that was never put into force. Foreign capital that partners with that system props up the dictatorship. We are organizing a democratic transition so Eritrea's resources serve its people under law, not under permanent emergency. @RepJoeWilson @BBCWorld @DaeronaC @mrubin1971 #EBRF #BlueRevolution #RegimeChange #Eritrea #PFDJ

Ethiopia's Foreign Ministry has shown foreign diplomats a large cache of weapons it says was captured from the TPLF and supplied by Egypt, Eritrea and Sudan. We in EBRF are not surprised. For three decades Isaias Afwerki and the PFDJ have armed fighters across the Horn, and in 2009 the UN Security Council sanctioned Eritrea for arming groups in Somalia. A regime that exports guns instead of building a nation will keep the whole region at war. We in EBRF have a plan for a democratic transition, and we are organizing so that a free Eritrea becomes a good neighbour and not a source of instability. @martinplaut @_hudsonc @dw_politics @washingtonpost #EBRF #BlueRevolution #RegimeChange #Eritrea #PFDJ
🇪🇹 Ethiopian government displays a large quantity of weaponry captured from the Tigray People’s Liberation Front The weapons were obtained from Egypt, Eritrea & Sudan, Ambassador Meles Alem, Director General for European and American Affairs at Ethiopia’s MFA, said, as reported by a Sputnik Africa correspondent.

Public seminar for nationals in Sudan’s Red Sea Region Public seminar for nationals in Sudan’s Red Sea Region has been conducted on 6 November in Port Sudan. At the seminar, participants expressed their readiness to counter all hostilities aimed at undermining Eritrea’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Mr. Isa Ahmed Isa, Eritrea’s Ambassador to Sudan, provided briefing to participants on the objective situation in the homeland and on regional and global developments. Ambassador Isa said that resilience is part of culture of the Eritrean people that has been passed to generations. He called on nationals to take an active part in national affairs through public diplomacy and economic, political and other activities. Mr. Ismail Musa, head of Public and Community Affairs, called on nationals to strengthen their organizations, awareness, unity and contribute to the national resilience program. Participants stressed that Eritrea’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, secured through sacrifice and affirmed by law, constitute a red line. They expressed their readiness to live up to the expectations of their country and people. Heads of communities and national organizations, religious leaders and village elders from various parts of Port Sudan and Suakin attended the seminar. #Eritrea

#Eritrean dictator Isaias Afwerki has been waging war against his people since he joined the 30 year revolutionary war against Ethiopia to form Shabiya aka HEGDEF now known as PFDJ. This dictator never had interest in our people or country EVER! He only wants its absolute demise!
And here’s a grab of our 1st interview with the Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki 3 years ago. When he literally agreed to sit down with me at a hotel lobby. Sharing his views on the reasons behind the war in Ukraine & why Eritrea voted against the UN resolution to blame Russia

China's special envoy for the Horn of Africa, Hu Changchun, sat with Isaias Afwerki at the Denden Guest House in Asmara on Thursday as Beijing restated respect for Eritrea's sovereignty. Sovereignty that never reaches the Eritrean people is not sovereignty. It is the language of a one man state that has held no national election since independence, keeps the 1997 Constitution on the shelf, and traps a generation in indefinite national service. Foreign capitals that talk only to Isaias and the PFDJ are talking to the source of the crisis they want to calm. The Eritrean Blue Revolution Front is organizing a constitutional, elected government that answers to Eritreans and deals with neighbors through law, not fear. Real sovereignty begins when the people rule. @Jerusalem_Post @TiborPNagyJr @CmaDawit @BeyeneGerezghe1 #EBRF #BlueRevolution #TransnationalRepression #NoMorePFDJTerror

Tibor Nagy says his goal is to advocate for peace inside Ethiopia and with its neighbors. We in EBRF welcome that goal, and we say plainly that lasting peace on the Eritrean side of the border cannot come from Isaias Afwerki and the PFDJ. For three decades they have used every border tension to justify indefinite national service and a country where no constitution is in force. Eritreans deserve a government that answers to them and respects its neighbors. We in EBRF are organizing a democratic transition with a plan for that Eritrea. #EBRF #BlueRevolution #RegimeChange #Eritrea #PFDJ @martinplaut @DaeronaC @ifa_ethiopia @BeyeneGerezghe1

No Eritrean should have to risk the desert and the sea just to leave their own country. Under Isaias Afwerki and the PFDJ, leaving Eritrea legally requires an exit visa that most young people never receive. Those held in indefinite national service are denied passports, those who flee are treated as traitors, and their families at home pay the price. The result is one of the highest numbers of refugees per capita in the world, and a generation scattered across Sudan, Ethiopia, Libya, Europe and beyond. The Eritrean Blue Revolution Front (@BlueFront90547), under the leadership of @BeyeneGerezghe1, stands for a different principle: freedom of movement is a right, not a reward for loyalty. A peaceful, time-limited democratic transition under the 1997 Constitution would mean: - Abolishing the exit visa regime and issuing passports to every citizen as a matter of law - Ending indefinite national service, the main reason young people flee - Embassies that serve citizens instead of watching them - A safe, voluntary and dignified path home for refugees and exiles, with their civil and property rights restored - Working with neighbours, host countries and @Refugees to protect Eritreans in transit and dismantle trafficking networks - An elected National Assembly writing these guarantees into law, and independent courts to enforce them A state that must lock its doors to keep its people is not strong. Eritrea will be strong when its citizens are free to leave and choose to come home. @StateDept @AsstSecStateAF @SenateForeign @HouseForeign @RepJoeWilson @TiborPNagyJr #EBRF #BlueRevolution #RegimeChangeInEritrea

Felemawi is right, and so is Cameron Hudson. The lapse of sanctions has not reached a single Eritrean family. It has handed Isaias Afwerki and the PFDJ more room to keep troops inside Ethiopia, hold our youth in indefinite national service and gamble with the security of Assab and Red Sea shipping. Any American outreach to Asmara must be measured by what it delivers for Eritreans, not by what it hands the regime. Real conditions mean troop withdrawal, the release of political prisoners and an end to open ended conscription. Lasting Red Sea security will come from a democratic Eritrea with an elected government accountable to its people, and EBRF has a transition plan to build exactly that. Washington should stand with that change, not with the dictator. @phelemawi @BradSherman @EGerasouli35992 @afric_insde #EBRF #BlueRevolution #TransnationalRepression #NoMorePFDJTerror
Cameron Hudson is right that Washington must attach firm conditions to any new outreach to Asmara. We in EBRF want to be clear about what the lapse of sanctions has meant in practice. Sanctions relief did not reach a single Eritrean family. It gave Isaias Afwerki and the PFDJ more room to keep troops inside Ethiopia, hold our youth in indefinite national service and gamble with the security of Assab and Red Sea shipping. Lasting Red Sea security will come from a democratic Eritrea with an elected government that answers to its people. EBRF has a transition plan and is organizing inside and outside the country to deliver it, and we ask the United States to back that change rather than the dictator. @mrubin1971 @KjetilTronvoll @DaeronaC @dw_politics #EBRF #BlueRevolution #RegimeChange #Eritrea #RedSea

When a reporter in Moscow asked Isaias Afwerki which projects Eritrea wants with Russia in trade, energy, food security and payments, he answered that he had not come to talk about Eritrea. That answer tells the whole story of his rule. For more than three decades Isaias and the PFDJ have run our country without a published national budget, without a sitting parliament and without any accounting to the people. Any agreement he signs abroad is made in secret and serves the regime, not Eritrean families. We in EBRF are organizing for a democratic Eritrea where leaders answer to elected institutions and every foreign deal is public. That is why we are working for regime change. @RepJoeWilson @KjetilTronvoll @dw_politics @WeldetnsaeG #EBRF #BlueRevolution #RegimeChange #Eritrea #PFDJ
Pressed by a reporter to identify concrete projects Eritrea hoped to pursue with Russia in trade, energy, digital technology, payment systems and food security, President Isaias Afwerki sidestepped the question entirely. “We don’t come here to talk about Eritrea,” he replied.

Eritrea's sovereignty belongs to the Eritrean people, not to one man. This week China's special envoy for the Horn of Africa was received in Asmara while Beijing spoke of respecting sovereignty. For more than three decades, Isaias Afwerki and the PFDJ have signed deals, hosted envoys and spoken for Eritrea without a constitution in force, without an elected Assembly and without any public accounting to the citizens whose land and coastline they claim to represent. That is not sovereignty. That is personal rule. The Eritrean Blue Revolution Front, under @BlueFront90547 and our diplomacy department led by @BeyeneGerezghe1, offers a different foundation for every partnership Eritrea will need: - A peaceful, time-limited transition to constitutional governance under the 1997 Constitution. - An elected National Assembly that ratifies every treaty, loan and security arrangement, with the texts published for the people to read. - Independent courts and the release of all political prisoners, so no citizen can be locked away for speech or conscience. - Soldiers brought home from indefinite national service, and foreign policy built on mutual understanding rather than permanent siege. - Open engagement with China, the United States, the African Union, the Gulf and our neighbours — as a democratic state, not as one man's private domain. Partners who want a stable Horn and a reliable Red Sea coast should invest in Eritrean institutions and the Eritrean people, not in the survival of the PFDJ. @StateDept @AsstSecStateAF @SenateForeign @HouseForeign @RepJoeWilson @TiborPNagyJr @_hudsonc #EBRF #BlueRevolution #RegimeChangeInEritrea

Eritrea's young people should be in classrooms, not in military camps. Since 2003, Isaias Afwerki and the PFDJ have sent final year secondary students to Sawa, and the University of Asmara stopped admitting students in the mid 2000s. A whole generation has learned that a diploma leads only to indefinite national service, and many have fled across the desert and the sea. The PFDJ will never reform a system built to control our youth. We in EBRF have a plan for a peaceful transition under the 1997 Constitution, with civilian schools, a reopened University of Asmara and an end to indefinite national service, and we are organizing for it now. @BBCWorld @BereketKahsai1 @WeldetnsaeG @afric_insde #EBRF #BlueRevolution #RegimeChange #Eritrea
Eritrea's young people should be students, not conscripts. Since 2003, Eritrean secondary students have been sent to complete their final school year at Sawa, a military training camp, where exam results decide who goes on to a college and who is funnelled into indefinite national service. The University of Asmara, once the pride of the country, stopped admitting students in the mid-2000s and was broken up into scattered colleges under tight state control. A whole generation has learned that its education leads to a barracks, and too many have answered by risking the desert and the sea just to study abroad. The Eritrean Blue Revolution Front (EBRF), @BlueFront90547, with @BeyeneGerezghe1 leading its diplomacy, offers a different path: • Schools run by civilians, with the final year completed in students' home communities, not in a military camp. • A reopened, independent University of Asmara with academic freedom, open research and partnerships with universities in Africa, Europe and North America. • An end to indefinite national service, so a diploma opens doors to work, business and public service. • Vocational training and scholarships tied to real jobs in agriculture, fisheries, ports, energy and technology. • An education budget approved by an elected National Assembly under the 1997 Constitution, with transparent spending. • A welcome home for diaspora teachers, doctors and engineers who want to help rebuild. A peaceful, time-limited transition to constitutional government is the way to give Eritrea's youth back their classrooms and their future. Investing in Eritrean students is investing in stability for the whole Horn of Africa. @StateDept @AsstSecStateAF @SenateForeign @HouseForeign @RepJoeWilson @TiborPNagyJr #EBRF #BlueRevolution #RegimeChangeInEritrea
