Whether or not the candidate we voted for won, for us Eritreans who never had the chance to vote, just participating in an election is something positive and surprising after 35 years of brutal leadership. We now get to vote and even run for office at different levels, because we live in countries where elections are a basic right. #Eritrea #HumanRights #BlueRevolution #TransnationalRepression #NoMorePFDJPropaganda @MayorOliviaChow

Congratulations, John, on your release from prison where you were detained. Though it is hard to face such imprisonment after fleeing the brutal dictatorship in Eritrea, as you have experienced and endured a lot in your life, the journey toward justice and democracy demands many sacrifices — including imprisonment and death, as happened in Israel. Congratulations once again. #Eritrea #HumanRights #BlueRevolution #TransnationalRepression #NoMorePFDJPropaganda

On Friday evening Oct 17, Saba Abraham, 24, a youth worker for Hägersten-Älvsjö municipality, was shot dead on the upper floor of Kämpetorpshallen sports hall in Älvsjö, Stockholm. At the exact same time, hundreds of children were inside the same complex playing football and floorball matches and attending a school disco next door. She was described by the prosecutor as "a completely ordinary woman" with no known threat against her, and died of her injuries on Saturday. As of today Oct 20, two men in their late teens have been arrested in Flemingsberg, suspected of committing the murder together, and a third teenager was arrested today for accessory to murder. All are not from Stockholm, all deny the crime, and according to the prosecutor they did not appear to know the victim. The prosecutor has until Tuesday noon to request remand, and says the motive is still unclear, with investigators looking into whether it was revenge linked to a relative being on a so-called "death list." Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmer called it "very, very disturbing" because this happened in a public place where children were playing. When a place built for kids to play football becomes a place where the youth worker who protects them is executed, it's no longer just gang crime, it's an attack on society itself. Saba went to work where children feel safe. She never came home. Justice for Saba, and safety for every sports hall in Sweden. May God rest her soul in Heaven. swedenherald.com/article/pro… dailynorthern.com/article/st… swedenherald.com/article/thi… dailynorthern.com/article/st… #Eritrea #HumanRights #BlueRevolution #TransnationalRepression #NoMorePFDJPropaganda

The UK Government has finally taken action against the Eritrean regime. According to the Home Office, Eritrean VIPs and officials have been stripped of fast-track UK visa access, and Eritrean diplomats are now barred from travelling more than 60km beyond London without Foreign Office permission, mirroring restrictions placed on British officials in Asmara. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood warned that if Eritrea continues to refuse to take back its nationals with no right to remain in the UK, Eritrea will face a complete visa ban. She stated: "Eritrea has had every chance to accept the return of criminals and those with no right to be in the UK. Unlike other countries, it has refused. My message to the Eritrean government is simple: take back your nationals or face a complete ban on your citizens entering the UK." For regime officials, a 60km restriction is not enough — they should be banned permanently. Beyond collecting the 2% diaspora tax, regime representatives do nothing to support Eritrean refugees in the UK and elsewhere. Crucially, Eritrean refugees must not be conflated with the regime. These refugees are victims of the brutal PFDJ regime. Forcibly returning them to Eritrea is tantamount to burning them alive.

This was during the two-year genocide in Tigray. Getachew Reda, then spokesman of the TPLF, explained what the Amhara intellectuals and the Amhara administration under Agegnehu Teshager did, and said they must be held accountable and pay the price. He detailed what actually happened — committed jointly by the Federal government, the Amhara elites and administration, together with the PFDJ. But today, we no longer hear him repeat that bitter truth. Instead, he is working with Abiy Ahmed and appears happy that Tigray is fully under the regime. #Eritrea #HumanRights #BlueRevolution #TransnationalRepression #NoMorePFDJPropaganda youtu.be/4W_JaZi_C6g?si=UTst…

Is this a disease, madness, or something else entirely? Many PFDJ supporters are doing the same thing. Listen to this woman, the sister of a disappeared General Habtetsion Hadgu and the guy a brother of disappeared one by PFDJ. The brothers, sisters, wives, husbands, sons and daughters of kidnapped and disappeared people — military commanders, government officials and ordinary citizens — still support the brutal regime in Eritrea. Can you imagine missing a loved one for 25 years because of this regime, and still supporting it from the diaspora? #Eritrea #HumanRights #BlueRevolution #TransnationalRepression #NoMorePFDJPropaganda facebook.com/share/r/1FKGywQ… facebook.com/share/v/1QXuH5V…

In Oct 2026, the Tigray regional government rejected Abiy Ahmed's attempt to create a federal-appointed caretaker administration for Tigray, saying it has no legal validity and Abiy cannot govern Tigray. It also warned that Alula Aba Nega (Mekelle) Airport and Ethiopian Airlines were being used to transport military equipment and soldiers for the war on Tigray, a fact that was widely seen on social media and confirmed by different parties. #Eritrea #HumanRights #BlueRevolution #TransnationalRepression #NoMorePFDJPropaganda
