Tarikachew,

"He was welcomed at Riyadh airport by the deputy emir of Riyadh city"

This is a scandal, it negates even the international diplomatic protocol.

As head of state he should have been welcomed by king salman, his counterpart. If the king is unable to welcome him at the airport, his son, the crown prince mohamed bin salman should have represented his father but that did not happen.

To add insult to injury, he is not even welcomed by the emir of Riyadh rather by his deputy. This is scandalous to say the least.

If I were issayas, out of protest I would have taken the same plane which brought me and return back to Eritra immediately.

"He was welcomed at Riyadh airport by the deputy emir of Riyadh city"

Poor DIA.

Could this be why Pia is in saudi-arabia to give advise to prince MBS, because the saudi fm is visiting ukraine from yesterday?

Saudi arabia is just under the protection of uncle sam. Recall what trump said, he said we saved the saudis several times. Had it not been for our support, the saudi by now would have spoken PERSIAN.

Having said that,

The saudis are ordered by uncle Sam to assist Ukraine, as such, the saudi foreign minister was in Ukraine 2 days ago, he pledged that saudi arabia will contribute $410 ti ukrain Asap.

Regarding issu's visit to saudi arabia:

Issu was welcomed at the airport by a minor official. Ironically this minor official welcomes less important visitors.

I tell you what, when the palestinian PLO chief mahmoud Abbas aka abu mazen and who is considered as Palestinian president visited saudi arabia few months ago, he was welcomed by this same deputy of the emir of Riyadh city. Unlike in our country, the Palestinians at Ramellah have freedom of press. They condemned the act of the saudis for their utter contempt for their president.

Finally,

As per uncle sam's instruction, the saudis will tell issu to behave and distance himself from russia on the Ukraine issue. Of course issu will heed their advice.

Issu needs now the support of saudi arabia, he knows the war is over for eritrea in ethiopia, so he has to accommodate hundreds of thousands of eris, find jobs and houses for them. As such, billions of dollars are required and Saudi arabia is in his radar.

When MBS took responsibility the first foreign guest that he met in Riyadh was President Issaias Afeworki Abraham.

This may be true, but then again, Eritrea is not a player in world affairs, It's a tiny irrelevant country & the third poorest country in Africa.

If that is the case, why are you spending most of your time badmouthing Eritrea and why are the Saudi 's sending their own plane to bring their guest. It doesn't add up isn't it.

Actually this is not the first time they are doing such a thing. When Eritrea got independence, the first they did was, king Fahd sent a plan to invite President Isaias to Saudi-Arabia and they have been doing that ever since.

As to who recieves you to open the door of the house, why should it matter as long as there is someone who opens that door. It shouldn't matter unless one is not suffering from inferiority complex. Doing the job should be the first priority before everything else.

kerenite was right, Russian soldiers living on Sudanese island close to Eritrea border are patrolling Eritrean waters and the United States wants answers from Eritrea.

Russia would provide weapons to Sudan in return for Red Sea navy base

February 11, 2023 (KHARTOUM) – Military leaders who control power in Khartoum approved a deal to establish a logistic base for the Russian navy in Port Sudan, in return; Moscow would provide weapons and equipment to the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF).

On February 9, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov held talks with the Head of the Sovereign Council Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his deputy Mohamed Hamdan Daglo.

Before leaving the Sudanese capital, Lavrov told reporters that the deal, which was agreed upon during the rule of former President Omer al-Bashir, is readily awaiting the approval of the Sudanese parliament, without further details.

In June 2021, Lt Gen Mohamed Osman al-Hussein, Chief of General Staff, stated they need to review the agreement.

Citing Sudanese military sources, the Associated Press on Saturday reported that the Sudanese army has given the green light for the military base after getting the Russian commitment to meet Sudan’s demand including weapons and equipment.

“They cleared all our concerns. The deal has become OK from the military side,” a Sudanese military official to The AP.

The military base on the Red Sea will host 300 troops and four military ships including nuclear-powered ones. The base is crucial for Moscow’s plans to expand its influence in Africa and link landlocked countries where they are present with the Red Sea.

Moscow is accused of seeking to destabilize the Paris-supported government in Africa and offering troops hired by a Russian private security contractor Wagner to protect military regimes that flared in the continent.

Until recently, the focus was shed on the head of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the deputy head of the Sovereign Council after several reports about his close cooperation with Wagner in Sudan cold mining and in the neighbouring Central African Republic.

However, it appeared that the deal benefits the SAF more than the RSF.

Several countries in the region including Saudi Arabia and Egypt showed some concerns over the deal and sought to dissuade the SAF commander-in-chief from implementing the deal.

Who said Saudi Arabia is angry? Saudis are only a messenger of the US.

This is hilarious, you scribbled "whoever opens the door". There are international protocol which should not be undermined, for instance the Egyptian dictator alsissy was on visit to saudi arabia about 6 weeks ago, he was welcomed at Riyadh airport by the crown prince Mohamed bin Salman, his father king Salman can be forgiven because he is suffering from Alzheimer and he cannot even remember his own name. So alsissy was welcomed with red carpet laid for him and the national anthems of the 2 countries were played.

What about issu? No red carpet, no national anthem... Eritra... Eritra... Was not played. He was welcomed by a low ranking official and which is an insult not only to issu but to us all eris as well because unfortunately he is representing our country against our will.

Let me put it in African way:

For instance, let say, the Ugandan president Musevini plans to visit ethiopia and he tells the government that he will arrive at Bole airport in addis in about 5 hours.

So His counterpart abyi is supposed to welcome him at the airport but abyi says he does not feel like going out and he summons his deputy (what was his name? Indargachew?) to represent him. Indargachew tells his boss he will take care of it but he himself was not in good mood to go to the airport.

So he calls the emir or kentiba of addis weyzero adanech abebe to welcome the president of uganda. She said to him, I will take care of it don't worry.

Emir or Emira kentiba of addis adanech orders her deputy abadulla to go to the airport and welcome Musevini. Abadulla welcomes the president. Case settled! But this will annoy uganda and it will cut its diplomatic relation with ethiopia.

Finally,

This was what happened to issu in saudi arabia. He was welcomed by a saudi abadulla.

I guess you are having problems to differentiate between state visit and an unscheduled visit. Beside, for Gods sake, why should the carpet must be red, I my self love the blue color.

No, Agamite is suffering from the devastating defeat his Chigray was served. We already told him that President Biden was received in Jeddah by the Governor of Mecca, Prince Khalid bin Faisal Al Saud and Ambassador Reema Bandar Al-Saud. But Agames are low IQ people who never learn!
