Potemkin Party's propaganda machine is on overdrive mode particularly these days to churn out a deluge of disinformation against Eritrea on a daily basis. The menu/themes broached revolve around the same stale topics: revision of Eritrea's ancient, medieval & modern history to hoodwink public opinion and thereby "legitimize" the regime's illicit agenda of "sovereign access to the sea"; re-packaging of its reckless and adventurist agenda in the mantle of "self-defense"; distortion of Eritrea's normative diplomatic and economic cooperation ties in the wider neighborhood as "conspiracies" against Ethiopia; and disparaging of Eritrea's governance architecture and unparalleled social/national cohesion in its wholesale campaign of demonization... etc. But while the themes remain the same, the new element in its latest disinformation spree is using official platforms - Foreign Policy Institute; Ethiopian Broadcast Corporation etc. - in lieu of unofficial mouthpieces (Horn Review; notorious lobbyists' and trolls ) that were the principal vehicles in the past. 1. First off, it will be pointless to waste time on mythology and manufactured narratives in as far as Eritrea's ancient, medieval and modern history are concerned. For serious students of history, there is indeed expansive literature based on rigorous archeological findings and interpretations on the Kingdom of Punt (from 1500 - 500 B.C.) that encompassed parts of modern Eritrea, Sudan, Djibouti, and extending toward Egypt); and the Adulis Civilization (300 B.C. - 700 A.D.) which predates and was latter concurrent, with sporadic linkages, to the Axumite Kingdom (300 - 700 A.D.). Historical reading of medieval and modern periods likewise illustrate that Ethiopia's meaningful presence in the Red Sea were confined to the unlawful Federation and Annexation periods that came about through the denial of Eritrea's right to decolonization. As such, there is no historical, legal, security or commercial rationale for its reckless and illicit of agenda of "sovereign access to the sea". 2. In this perspective, the Potemkin Party's new-found ploy to accuse Eritrea of "perennial subversion" stems from its transparent desire to change tack so as to rationalize its war agenda as "an act of self-defense". Indeed, official statements issued on the 25th Anniversary of the Algiers Agreement by the UN, the European Union, and several other countries have unequivocally reiterated the foundational principle of full respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of nations as the normative parameter of international relations. PP's nominal change of tone and tactics is evidently designed to circumvent this explicit and unambivalent position. 3. The Potemkin Party is further feigning annoyance on speculative cooperation and port development agreements that Eritrea "has reportedly" reached with Egypt, Saudi Arabia etc. In the first place, Eritrea's cooperation policies with prospective partners from the region and the wider world are based on cardinal principles of symmetry and mutual interest. And as it is the case with other countries, they stem from, and are predicated on, its own prerogatives and national interest considerations. Eritrea's positive and constructive stance on the cooperation of the littoral States of the Red Sea in order to enhance the safety and security of this important global maritime route is also well-known and in the public domain. As such, it cannot be misconstrued for nefarious political ends. 4. Eritrea has been and remains an oasis of national cohesion, peace and harmony that leverages ethnic and religious diversity as an asset rather than a liability for stoking perpetual tension and conflict among its constituent parts. The Potemkin Party, which is presiding over spiraling internal conflicts due to governance deficit, is not, and cannot be, in a position to disparage Eritrea on these and other accounts. 5. In a nutshell, it is the Potemkin Party's misguided policies that are at the root cause of the manufactured "crisis". As it is, the panacea does not lie in finger pointing at, or scapegoating, Eritrea; but in rectifying its reckless agenda of "sovereign access to the sea". x.com/hawelti/status…

Prosperity Party (aka Potemkin Party) signature media trademark is better encapsulated in the following algebraic equation: PP propaganda = Optics + Posturing + Deception + Disinformation; (the four variables have different weights depending on the event/intended objective).

@steedpap @MariaStenergard Regimtrogna tar hand din familj som du har slängt i äldreboendet. Regimtrogna är de som kör din familj med buss och taxi. Regimtrogna är de som städar i offentliga byggnader sjukhus, skolor mm. Du frågar vad gör de här? Min fråga är vilken IQ nivå har du?

@TheCryptoDude5 @MariaStenergard Vilken stöd? Har du någon belägg på det? Eller är det hon sa han sa

@Eskinder88 You could not said better just IMAGINE and btw keep it their

@EDGMTranquility Doesn’t Tigray use our port? Tigray is in Ethiopia, correct? Cash is king you pay you have access. And next time verify your information!

@gurmuchalla I wonder what’s going on in your brain, how long have you been holding on to the hope that this might actually come true? It seems like you’re in constant pain, every single moment you’re alive. The thing you’re wishing for isn’t going to happen, in your entire life

@Mikias82 Let me get this straight – you haven’t had access to the sea for over 34 years and you didn’t die, so why the panic now? By the way, if you pay, you get access to the sea. 😎

@YemaneGirum Did you know it was close before?

#AbiyAhmed’s $10 B “Chacka” Prestige Grand Palace Project Amidst Widespread Poverty in #Ethiopia A must-read, comprehensive analysis contrasting #AbiyAhmed’s $10 billion vanity “Chacka” Project with the urgent humanitarian and development needs of 80 million impoverished Ethiopians—69 percent of whom live in multidimensional poverty (UNDP, 2024). Project Cost & Scope • Chacka is billed at roughly $10 billion—a lavish mixed-use development (palaces, luxury lodges, infrastructure) meant to showcase Ethiopia’s economic rise. • By contrast, the UNDP (2024) Multidimensional Poverty Index reports that 69 percent of the population—approximately 80 million people—remain trapped in multidimensional poverty. Humanitarian Needs • Healthcare shortfalls: Per-capita government health expenditure is under $30/year, leaving millions without basic care. • Education gaps: Secondary-school enrollment in rural areas hovers below 50 percent; many schools lack textbooks, classrooms, and qualified teachers. • Water & sanitation: Over 35 percent of rural households lack access to safe drinking water; open-defecation rates exceed 25 percent in certain regions. • Food insecurity: Nearly 25 percent of Ethiopian children under 5 suffer chronic malnutrition, and recent droughts have pushed an additional 12 million people into acute food crisis conditions. Opportunity Cost Diverting $10 billion toward luxury infrastructure—while these service gaps persist—represents a profound misalignment of national priorities. According to the article, that same $10 billion could have: 1. Fully funded a five-year universal primary healthcare expansion (hiring 50,000 community health workers). 2. Supplied safe drinking water systems to 10 million rural Ethiopians. 3. Invested in teacher training and school construction to eliminate primary-school overcrowding nationwide. 4. Subsidized emergency food relief for at least 5–7 million people in drought-affected areas. Key Data Points: • Multidimensional Poverty (MPI): 69 percent of Ethiopians in 2024 live under the MPI threshold (80 million people). • Budget Allocations: Ethiopia’s 2024/25 national budget allocates roughly $1.5 billion to social sectors (health + education). By comparison, Chacka alone consumes over $10 billion—more than six times that combined social allocation. • Infrastructure vs. Service Indicators:   – Roads & Airports: Ethiopia has built/upgraded over 2,500 km of “prestige” highways and constructed two international airports (Chacka, Gondar) since 2020—yet 40 percent of rural communities still lack all-season roads.   – Water Access: Only about 64 percent of Ethiopian households have year-round access to clean water (UNICEF, 2024), despite “showcase” fountains and irrigation schemes in the Chacka corridor.   – Healthcare Workforce: Ethiopia has just 0.76 physicians per 1,000 people—one of the lowest ratios in Sub-Saharan Africa—while Burkina Faso maintains 0.91 physicians per 1,000 people (World Bank, 2023).
