"#Eritrea is run by an authoritarian regime under Isaias Afwerki... the country hasn't held a national election since independence... in 2001, government shut down all independent newspapers. It is estimated that up to 1/3 of the population lives abroad." theguardian.com/world/2026/o…

If Isaias' Eritrea is such a "paradise" on earth, why are Eritreans fleeing their small nation (population 4 million) one of the major nationalities seeking asylum in the UK-with about 7,000 asylum applications in the last year or roughly 8% of the total? bbc.com/news/articles/c30rl1…

Relieved to see SecState Rubio personally involved in trying to calm Ethiopia/Eritrea tensions. While phone call helps, this type of situation needs continuous monitoring and follow-up high level involvement. Also need call to Asmara. state.gov/releases/office-of…

For almost 25 years, Hanna Petros Solomon has lived without her parents. Her father was arrested in Eritrea in 2001 after calling for democratic reform. Two years later, her mother was detained. Hanna reflects on what it means to grow up without your parents.

Exposing the double standards! Isaias Afwerki’s dictatorship must be held accountable for its repression and destructive regional policies. But let’s be clear: criticizing Asmara does not mean giving Addis Ababa a free pass. #Eritrea’s sovereignty is not negotiable. #Ethiopia’s sovereignty is not negotiable. No government has the right to impose its ambitions through force. Oppose dictatorship. Reject aggression. Defend the people. Demand accountability from every side. #NoToWar #YesToPeace #RespectEritreaSovereignty @UN @_AfricanUnion @EUparliament @UN_SPExperts @CaptnEritrea pulseofafrica.info/opinion/2…

Das betrifft auch Deutschland. Laut bpb suchten Regierungsunterstützer Flüchtlingsunterkünfte auf, um Geflüchtete zur Zahlung der Diasporasteuer aufzufordern. Das zeigt, warum der Konflikt innerhalb der Diaspora einen grenzüberschreitenden Hintergrund hat. #BlaueRevolution #Eritrea #TransnationalRepression #NoMorePFDJTerror @AwetTesfaiesus @PatrickHeinisc1 @Bundeskanzler @BMG_Bund

Ein besonders schwerwiegender Punkt der bpb-Analyse: Regierungsfreundliche Dolmetscher hätten versucht, Interviews von Geflüchteten beim Bundesamt für Migration und Flüchtlinge zu beeinflussen. Auch dieser Hintergrund gehört zur Diskussion über Eritreas Diaspora in Deutschland.

Two Eritrean men are facing serious accusations in Germany. That does not make them guilty. Merhawi A. and Shimangus T. deserve the presumption of innocence, due process and a fair judicial process. Political opposition to Eritrea's dictatorship must not automatically be equated with terrorism. Investigate the evidence. Let the courts decide. #Eritrea #HumanRights #Justice #RuleOfLaw @zeitonline @hannesleitlein @lars_graue @SZ @BILD @BILD_Stuttgart @dwnews @StZ_NEWS @ProAsyl @amnesty_de @sfr_ev @BFR_089 @FR_Hessen @Bundeskanzler @Alice_Weidel @GrueneBundestag @gruenestuttgart @TabeaRoessner @Tino_Chrupalla @Beatrix_vStorch

Kanada untersucht ausländische Einflussnahme – und Eritrea taucht ausdrücklich auf. Der staatlichen Untersuchung wurden Informationen über Einschüchterung, Belästigung, Drohungen und weitere Formen transnationaler Repression gegen Diaspora-Mitglieder vorgelegt. #BlaueRevolution

Stop turning accusations into verdicts. Merhawi A. and Shimangus T. have been accused of serious crimes, but neither has been convicted. Germany's own authorities describe them as suspects. If the evidence is strong, put it before an independent court. Don't criminalize political opposition. Don't prejudge defendants. Let justice work. #Eritrea #HumanRights #Justice @zeitonline @hannesleitlein @lars_graue @SZ @BILD @BILD_Stuttgart @dwnews @StZ_NEWS @ProAsyl @amnesty_de @sfr_ev @BFR_089 @FR_Hessen @Bundeskanzler @GrueneBundestag @gruenestuttgart @TabeaRoessner @Alice_Weidel @Tino_Chrupalla @Beatrix_vStorch

Calling someone a “terrorist” before a court has established the facts is a serious matter. Merhawi A. and Shimangus T. face allegations of membership in a terrorist organization, according to German federal prosecutors. They remain accused, not convicted. Let the evidence speak. Let the courts decide. #BlueRevolution #NoMorePFDJTerror #TransnationalRepression @zeitonline @hannesleitlein @lars_graue @SZ @BILD @BILD_Stuttgart @dwnews @StZ_NEWS @ProAsyl @amnesty_de @sfr_ev @BFR_089 @FR_Hessen @Bundeskanzler @GrueneBundestag @gruenestuttgart @TabeaRoessner @Alice_Weidel @Tino_Chrupalla @Beatrix_vStorch

Merhawi A. and Shimangus T. are not convicted terrorists. They are defendants facing serious allegations. That distinction matters. We should demand that German authorities present the evidence, that every allegation be examined individually, and that both men receive a fair judicial process. No political persecution. No political immunity. No predetermined verdicts. JUSTICE MUST FOLLOW EVIDENCE. #Eritrea #HumanRights #RuleOfLaw #Justice @zeitonline @hannesleitlein @lars_graue @SZ @BILD @BILD_Stuttgart @dwnews @StZ_NEWS @ProAsyl @amnesty_de @sfr_ev @BFR_089 @FR_Hessen @Bundeskanzler @GrueneBundestag @gruenestuttgart @TabeaRoessner @Alice_Weidel @Tino_Chrupalla @Beatrix_vStorch
