STATEMENT DELIVERED BY H.E. MS. SOPHIA TESFAMARIAM, AMBASSADOR, PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE STATE OF ERITREA TO THE UNITED NATIONS, DURING THE INTRODUCTION OF DRAFT RESOLUTION A/79/L.93, ENTITLED “INTERNATIONAL DAY AGAINST UNILATERAL COERCIVE MEASURES” New York, 16 June 2025

https://shabait.com/2025/06/17/statemen ... -entitled/

Jun 17, 2025



Mr. President,

1. The State of Eritrea has the honor to take the floor on behalf of the Group of Friends in Defense of the Charter of the United Nations, whose Member States serve as the main sponsors of draft resolution A/79/L.93, entitled

International Day against Unilateral Coercive Measures

.
Mr. President,

2. The initiative on which this General Assembly will short take action emerges from a shared conviction that the Charter of the United Nations, which should be implemented in its entirety and interconnectedness, and the principles contained in it; namely, sovereign equality, self-determination, non-intervention, peaceful coexistence, and international cooperation, must not be mere aspirations, but living commitments.

3. Unilateral coercive measures, commonly cloaked in the misleading language of “sanctions”, are deployed, not as instruments of justice – much less of legality – but as tools of political and economic compulsion. These measures are imposed unilaterally, outside of international law, and in direct violation of the founding Charter of our Organization, soon to turn 80 years. These unlawful measures, increasingly promulgated and applied, including against Member States of our grouping, punish millions of people worldwide, blocking access to food, medicines, technology, and development; undermining entire societies; and violating fundamental human rights.

Mr. President,

4. As is well-known and confirmed by various reports, including from the United Nations, over one-third of the world’s population, in more than 30 countries, suffers under the direct weight of these cruel and illegal measures. Their extraterritorial effects extend even further, destabilizing global supply chains, hampering development, and threatening international cooperation, while also impeding third parties from engaging in lawful trade or cooperation.

5. Moreover, these measures undermine the very multilateral system we are gathered here to defend. They disregard resolutions of this very General Assembly and of the Human Rights Council, while also deliberately ignoring the urgent appeals of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), the Group of 77 and China, and other voices of the Global South, many of which will be participating in the debate on this agenda item later today, and who have consistently and unequivocally rejected these policies and demanded their complete, immediate and unconditional repeal.

Mr. President,

6. It is within this context that we present the draft resolution before you today. Its purpose is symbolic, yet very powerful: to declare 4 December – the day of the anniversary of the

Declaration on the Right to Development

– as the International Day against Unilateral Coercive Measures.

7. The draft resolution in question, which has no budgetary implications, reaffirms the illegality of unilateral measures and calls for the annual observance of the International Day, as part of global efforts to raise awareness about the negative impact of unilateral coercive measures and to promote greater international cooperation and solidarity among nations in addressing their consequences.



Mr. President,

8. This is a non-confrontational and forward-looking initiative, that has been deliberately framed on a procedural manner. It does not seek to polarize or divide. On the contrary, it seeks to foster reflection, solidarity, and global dialogue. It seeks to raise awareness of the far-reaching consequences of unilateral coercive measures and to affirm our collective commitment to the rule of law, international cooperation, and sustainable development. It seeks to foster dialogue on this issue that has global implications and that, therefore, deserves discussion at the global level, in an inclusive setting, as provided by this very multilateral forum.

9. In this context, we would also like to express our sincere appreciation to all delegations who engaged constructively and in good faith during the negotiation of this draft resolution, which we initiated in an informal manner over a month ago, when we started to reach out to various groupings. The process was conducted in an open, inclusive and transparent manner.

10. In spite of the almost unanimous condemnation of unilateral coercive measures, as we are confident that will be demonstrated once again in today’s debate on this subject, genuine attempts were made along the process to accommodate the views of everyone, to bridge the gaps, and to foster the broadest possible consensus. We believe the result before us today is a balanced and measured text, non-confrontational in tone and universal in aspiration.

Mr. President,

11. We are mindful that some may seek to force a vote today to block consensus and to dismiss this resolution as symbolic. But let us be clear: symbols matter. They are the expressions of collective conscience, sympathy and understanding. They inspire action, sustain hope, and move history forward.

12. By supporting this draft resolution and, if need be, voting in favor of it, we are not only defending the sovereignty of States, the rights of peoples, and the integrity of the international legal order, underpinned by the Charter of the United Nations, but we are also standing in solidarity with and sending a message to those millions affected around the world: that they are not forgotten; that they will not be left behind.

13. In this spirit, we call upon all Member States to support this initiative. Let this General Assembly send a united message, unequivocally reaffirming its opposition to unilateralism and its enduring commitment to the values enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations. Let this body proclaim that that illegality must not be normalized and that the voices of those affected by the application of unilateral coercive measures will not go unheard.



Mr. President,

14. At last, we conclude by calling on all responsible members of the international community to support us in this effort for making 4 December a day to stand together, in favor of cooperation, the rule of law, and justice. Let us support and, if need be, vote in favor of draft resolution A/79/L.93; an initiative that seeks to affirm respect for international law, to defend sovereignty and to uphold human dignity and the inalienable right of all peoples to development and of all nations to thrive, free from external coercion.

I thank you.

Statement delivered by Mr. Habtom Zerai, Chargé d’affaires at the Permanent Mission of Eritrea to the United Nations Interactive Dialogue on the Human Rights Situation in Eritrea 16 June 2025

https://shabait.com/2025/06/16/statemen ... -june-202/

Jun 16, 2025



Mr. President,

Excellencies,

Distinguished delegates,

As the report just presented shares the same motive, content, and methodology as previous reports from the Special Rapporteur, I will not waste your time refuting it. This report, like the ones before it, relies on unverifiable claims and biased assessments from anonymous sources outside Eritrea. These sources, whose identities, affiliations, and motivations remain undisclosed, avoid any form of scrutiny. The report, therefore, lacks objectivity, transparency, accountability, and balance.

It’s worth noting that this report directly contradicts the verifiable and comprehensive reports regularly submitted by various UN agencies operating within Eritrea.

As we commemorate the 80th anniversary of the United Nations, I would like to take this opportunity to provide the Council with a cursory background on how Eritrea was subjected to this mandate.

Mr. President,

We must confront an uncomfortable truth: our international system often falters when faced with power dynamics and political expediency. Eritrea is one good example where the UN’s founding ideals have been inconsistently applied or outright denied.

This pattern of injustice began in 1952 when Eritrea’s right to decolonization was subverted under the auspices of the UN. Instead of granting independence, Eritrea was forcibly federated with another country, violating the UN Charter. When this federation was unilaterally dissolved and Eritrea forcibly annexed in 1962, the UN’s silence amounted to complicity. This inaction set the stage for decades of conflict and suffering.

In 2002, despite the Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission’s final and binding decision, the UN Security Council failed to enforce it. This failure of responsibility, not capacity, left Eritrea enduring years of military tension, economic hardship, and regional instability.

In 2009, the Security Council imposed sanctions on Eritrea based on unsubstantiated politically motivated allegations. Ignoring due process and denying Eritrea the right to reply, these unjust sanctions, and political isolation persisted for nearly two decades.

Since 2012, the human rights machinery followed suit with country-specific resolutions, commission of inquiry, and the appointment of Special Rapporteurs, which have subjected Eritrea to deliberate and consistent campaigns of vilification for the last thirteen years.

Throughout this period, Eritrea’s calls for engagement, dialogue, and technical cooperation were consistently dismissed. Our sovereignty was disregarded, and our dignity trampled.

Mr. President,

Despite facing immense challenges, Eritrea remains unwavering in its dedication to enhancing the lives of its citizens. We continue to prioritize investments in critical sectors such as education, healthcare, gender equity, and sustainable development.

Eritrea is also fostering opportunities for meaningful dialogue with all states and partners who approach us in good faith, mutual respect, and shared interests. We have actively participated in the Universal Periodic Review, African Union Human rights mechanisms, and technical cooperation with UN agencies. Just last week, we hosted in Asmara a retreat of Regional Directors of various UN agencies, including the regional director of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.



In closing, Mr. President,

Eritrea supports constructive international engagement through legitimate multilateral channels based on mutual respect and equality. However, we reject politically motivated mechanisms driven by hostility and double standards. Eritrea does not reject human rights; we reject their instrumentalization as weapons to undermine national sovereignty.

As the UN turns 80, this Council must not condone mandates that bypass consent, ignore context, and discard objectivity to accommodate the prerogatives of certain powerful member States.

To this end, Mr. President, Eritrea has tabled a draft resolution calling for the termination of this mandate. We therefore call on all members of this Council to terminate the Special Rapporteur mandate on Eritrea, a mandate that has strayed far from its legal foundations, failed to produce credible findings, and does a disservice to the cause of human rights.

Thank you.

[Zmeselo]

Honored to receive in my office, this morning, Mr. Johnathan Christ, the incoming Eritrea Desk Officer at the Bureau of African Affairs of the U.S. Department of State. Our discussions covered Eritrea’s consistent stance on peace and stability in the Horn of Africa and the Red Sea region, its self-reliant development trajectory, and commitment to partnerships based on mutual respect and equal partnership. We also explored the potential for more U.S. role in addressing challenges and fostering forward looking prospects for improved bilateral relations. I conveyed my best wishes for a successful and productive tenure in his new assignment. @EmbassyEritrea

Great news!

[Zmeselo]

Last week, the @UNinEritrea came together for our annual retreat—3 days of reflection, dialogue, and planning for the year ahead. We’re focused on deepening impact & partnering on what matters most for communities across Eritrea.


We had powerful exchanges with government leaders—on the vision for economic development, climate resilience and clean energy access, and sharing a more contextual story of Eritrea’s development journey. Co-creation was at the heart of it.






We ended with community and site visits to see progress firsthand—from solar power to healthcare to agriculture. It was a reminder: real change is possible. ☀‍⚕


As we move forward, we’re staying focused on what matters: Results. Partnerships. People.

Thank you to everyone who helped shape this retreat—from national partners to regional leaders.

Now, let’s deliver!




Our work is anchored in 5 key focus areas reflecting Eritrea's priorities:

Food systems
Climate action & community resilience
Social protection
Data & statistics
Strategic communication

These are where we’re partnering for long-term, meaningful change.

This year’s retreat theme: Delivering on Commitments: Deepening Impact, Strengthening Systems, Shaping the Future.

We’re making bold moves to support Eritrea’s priorities.

One powerful moment: hearing directly from communities and local leaders. Their stories are what drive us. We’re committed to leaving no one behind.

Open Letter to the "Oromo Scholars and Professionals" — the eighty-five individuals who recently addressed the President of Eritrea

I came across your letter through an Eritrean YouTuber and initially chose to dismiss it. Why? Because the content of your letter simply does not reflect what the President of Eritrea actually said. His message was crystal clear to any attentive listener—whether a scholar or an ordinary citizen.

I write this letter not as a politician or official representative, but as an ordinary Eritrean citizen. I speak only for myself, though I believe many fellow Eritreans would share my perspective.

In your letter, you criticized the President of Eritrea for what you described as an

unprovoked attack on Oromo identity…

Really?

The President of Eritrea attacked the Oromo identity?

Is that what you truly believe?

Let’s be honest: President Isaias’s message was very clear and unambiguous. He was not attacking the Oromo people, their identity, or their heritage. He was criticizing how the Prosperity Party (PP) has hijacked Oromummaa, distorting its essence and using it as a political tool for divisive ends.

Yet, instead of engaging with the substance of his critique, you have chosen to misrepresent the President’s words into something they were not, falsely portraying them as an attack on the Oromo people themselves. That is neither honest nor fair, and it does a disservice to the truth. Instead, one would expect the scholars to challenge the divisive and dangerous Cush-Semitic narrative promoted by the Prosperity Party (PP) government—an ideology that endangers not only Ethiopia’s unity but also the broader stability of the region and beyond.

Let us not forget that the EPLF organization, led by President Isaias Afworki and supported by countless Eritrean fighters, made profound sacrifices in solidarity with the Oromo struggle. Eritrean lives were lost on Oromo soil in the fight for justice, equality, and human dignity. Perhaps you’ve forgotten, while we Eritreans still carry the heavy sorrow of our fallen martyrs. To now witness such blatant and unfair attacks on the President, especially from those who call themselves scholars and professionals, is both saddening and disheartening.

It is true that Eritrea, its people, and its leadership initially supported Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, holding out hope that he would usher in a new era of peace and stability for the Horn of Africa. But President Isaias was quick to recognize what others did not see: Abiy’s immaturity, his lack of experience, and the deeper flaws that no title, applause, or international prize could conceal, flaws we all hoped time and responsibility might eventually mend. And yet, despite Abiy’s deception, misleading the world including the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, and many among you in the intellectual elite, it is President Isaias whom you now choose to scapegoat. How deeply disappointing!

Oromia—like many other regions of Ethiopia is engulfed in crisis. But this turmoil is not the result of the Oromummaa; it stems from how the identity has been weaponized by those who exploit it for power and pursue their own destructive agendas. The Oromos we know as kind, peace-loving, and dignified now find themselves in a dire and heartbreaking situation. I know this, as I lived among them. Oromia needs its sons and daughters now more than ever, whether scholars or not to rise and become instruments of meaningful change. Not by casting blame on those who have long stood in solidarity with the Oromo struggle, but by acting with courage, clarity, and purpose.

Allow me to ask: What are you doing to ease the suffering of the Oromos, Amharas, Tigrayans, and others in Ethiopia? When have you truly spoken up for the voiceless? What actions have you taken in response to the ongoing mass arrests across the country? Where is your outrage over the killings of ordinary citizens and political figures who dare to criticize the government? Did you raise your voices when the thoughtful and soft-spoken Bate Urgessa, among countless others, a true representative of Oromummaa and a respected OLF leader—was assassinated in his own village, Meki? Who is following the case of this true child of Oromia now? Is Bate forgotten? What have you, as scholars, done in response to the unlawful arrest of Taye Dendea? Will you remain silent and allow the government to let him languish in prison? With all your academic credentials, one would expect the beginnings of a movement, a collective force to challenge and change this brutal system that causes so much sufferings in Oromia and other parts of Ethiopia once and for all. But that has yet to be seen. Having PHDs and educated class is a valuable asset to a country when that education is used responsibly and courageously.

The Oromo people and all Ethiopians need urgently and without compromise, the right to live without fear, to exist free from the ever-looming threat of death, to be spared the terror of drone strikes, and to walk safely and freely upon their own land. They are crying out for safety, for justice, and for the most basic human dignity: the right to live in peace.

So let your education shine not merely as a credential, but as a tool for change and a call to action. Be a force for justice, a voice for progress, and a champion for the future your people so urgently deserve.

Peace and Stability for the Horn of Africa!

Open Letter to the "Oromo Scholars and Professionals" — the eighty-five individuals who recently addressed the President of Eritrea

I write this letter not as a politician or official representative, but as an ordinary Eritrean citizen.

Some comments here in good faith from another ordinary citizen of Ethiopia. May be citizens to citizens dialogue across the border might lead to some constructive discourse for all.

unprovoked attack on Oromo identity…

Really?

The President of Eritrea attacked the Oromo identity?

Is that what you truly believe?

I am not sure what was perceived as an attack on an identity and what you are trying to defend.

A long time ago, I asked on this forum if the Borana fathered the Oromo or the Oromo fathered the Borana. I was simply curious to know the correct answer. A participant on this forum gave me an answer, reluctantly.

I wonder if any of the scholars you addressed would give you the correct answer for this simple question.

Without knowing the correct answer for this simple question, neither the claim nor defending it would be valid. It is that simple.

Instead, one would expect the scholars to challenge the divisive and dangerous Cush-Semitic narrative …

Sadly, you would expect the scholars to have been enlightened about this fictitious narrative and inform the Eritrean freedom fighter about it instead of him lecturing the scholars about the same.

I admit that there was a time when this fictitious narrative sounded real to me. Understanding what is written on a single page in the late Professor Donald N. Levine’s book about Ethiopia dispels it quickly and makes you revolt against it.

Let us not forget that the EPLF organization, led by President Isaias Afworki and supported by countless Eritrean fighters, made profound sacrifices in solidarity with the Oromo struggle. Eritrean lives were lost on Oromo soil in the fight for justice, equality, and human dignity. Perhaps you’ve forgotten, while we Eritreans still carry the heavy sorrow of our fallen martyrs.

Here is an instance where citizens to citizens dialogue ought to be balanced and fair in order to avoid another divisive narrative of very recent history.

You don’t have to be an Eritrean to feel the pain of Eritrean mothers in the tragic war.

ኢትዮጵያዊ ሆኜ ነዉ የኤርትራ እናቶች ፍዳ ጠንቶባቸዉ መዉለድ እርም ያላሉ ያልኩኝ።

ኤርትራዊያንም በጦርነቱ ምክንያት ላዘኑት የኢትዮጵያ እናቶች ማዘን ኣይችሉም?

ኤርትራ የጦርነቱ ሜዳ ነበረች። ሰፊዉ ኢትዮጵያ ለጦርነቱ ሜዳ ኣበርካች ማሳ ነበረች።

ኣንዱ ወገን ከኢትዮጵያ ነፃነት ለሚል ዐላማ ታገለ። ሌላዉ ወገን የሃገርን ነፃነት ለመጠበቅ ዐላማ ታገለ።

በዚህ የእርስ በእርስ ግብግብ ዉስጥ ስንቶች ኣዘኑ?

መርዶ የተረዱ፣ ወልደዉ ያሳደጉት ልጆቻቸዉ የት እንደወደቁ፣ የአሞራ እራት ሆኑ አፈር ለብሰዉ ይሆን ሳያዉቁ ኖረዉ ህይወታቸዉ ያለፉ የኢትዮጵያ እናቶች በጣም ብዙ ናቸዉ።

ኣንዱን የኦሮሞ ወገን ደግፈን ነበር ስትሉ በሌላዉ ወገን በኩል የቆሙትም በብዛት ኦሮሞዎች የሚባሉ ነበሩ ማለት ይቻላል።

ይህን ሁሉ ማስተዋል ኣሁን ኩሽ እና ሴም የተባልን እንጂ ያልን ኣይደለም እንደምንባባለዉ ምን ዳያብሎስ ነዉ በመሃላችን ገብቶ ያበጣበጠን ማለት መቻል ኣለብን።

ይህን የምጽፈዉ ሁለቴ የደርግ ወታደር መሆን ያለፈኝ ነዉ። ኣንዴ ከአፈሳ፣ ሌላ ግዜ ከዘመቻ።

ሁለተኛ ደረጃ ተማሪ ሆኜ ኣንድ ክረምት ቀን የሆነ ነገር ኣነሳስቶኝ ከባላገር የዘመድ ጓደኛ ቤት ከተማ ሄድኩኝ። እስከ ዛሬ ድረስ ልጅነት ካልሆነ ምን እንዳነሳሳኝ ኣላዉቅም።

ከተማ መሃል ስደርስ ጭር ብሎ ነበር። ለምን ይሆን ብዬ እየተራመድኩኝ ኣንድ ሰላማዊ መሳይ ሰዉ ወደ እኔ መጣ እና ወደ የት ነዉ የምትሄደዉ ኣለኝ። የማነዉ ብዬ ፈርጠም ብዬ ጓደኛዬ ቤት ብዬ መለስኩለት። ቀጥሎም በከተማዉ ዉስጥ የምታዉቀዉ ሰዉ ኣለ ብሎ ጠየቀኝ። የበለጠ ፈርጠም ብዬ ኣዎ ኣልኩት፣ እያየሁት። ከዛ በኋላ ዝም ብሎ ወደ ኋላዉ ዞሮ ከአጠገቤ ሄደ።

የዘመድ ጓደኛዬ ቤት ስደርስ እንዴት ኣልፈህ እዚህ ደረስክ? ዛሬ አፈሳ ነበረ ኣሉኝ።

ከዛ በኋላ ነበር ጥያቄዎቹ ለዛ ይሆን ብዬ የገመትኩኝ። ለአፈሳ መሆኑ ገብቶኝ የነበረ ቢሆን ምናልባትም ዘመድ ኣለህ ለተባለዉ ጥያቄ ዋስ ኣለኝ ኣልልም ነበር ብዬ ኣስባለሁ።

ሁለተኛዉ ኮሌጅ እያለሁ ዘመቻ የተባለ ግዜ ነበር። ኣሁንም ላለመዝመት ሳይሆን ሌላ ሜዳ ኣስቤ አንፍት የምያብል ዕባጭ ኣሳይቼ ኣለፈኝ።

ሰሞኑን በአጋጣሚ የኤርትራ እናቶች ዶማ እና አካፋ አይነት ይዘዉ ግድብ እና መስኖ ሲሰሩ ኣይቼ ባባሁኝ። ጥረታቸዉን ኣድንቄ ልፋታቸዉ ኣሳዘነኝ።

ቴክኖሎጂ ሰዉ ከሶፋ ላይ ተነስቶ ቲቪ ለለመክፈት ሪሞት ኮንትሮል መጠቀምን በደረሰበት ዘመን በዕድሜ የገፉ እናቶች ዶማ እና አካፋ ዐይነት ይዘዉ ሞቃት ዉስጥ ሲለፉ ማየት ብዙ ያስጠይቃል።

ኣንድ የመጣልኝ አጭር ጥያቄ ህግሓኤ ዐይነት ድርጅት እንደዚህ ዐይነት ልማት ላይ ቢሰማራ ኖሮ የኢትዮጵያ ሕዝብ ሆነ የትኛዉም የኢትዮጵያ መንግስት ብያደንቅ እንጂ ያደናቅፍ ነበር ወይ ኣስባለኝ።

… many among you in the intellectual elite,

የሃገሬ የገበሬ ልጆችን እንተሌክቹዋል ኤሊት ማለት ርህራሄ ኣለዉ?

[Naga Tuma]

Instead, one would expect the scholars to challenge the divisive and dangerous Cush-Semitic narrative …

ይህን ዐረፍተነገር ካነበብኩ ወዲህ ልረሳዉ ኣልቻልኩም።

ሀሳቡ ኣዲስ ሆኖብኝ ሳይሆን በሌሎችም መስተዋሉ በጎ መሆኑን ነዉ።

ከስደት በፊት እንደዚህ ዐይነት ክፍፍል ነበረ?

ከስደት በፊት የተባረከ እና የተረገመ ጎሳ ማለት ነበረ?

ሁለቱም ክፍፍሎች ካልነበሩ የታሪክ መሠረታችን ከስደት በፊት የነበረ ነዉ ማለት ነዉ። በሌላ አነጋገር የኢትዮጵያ ህዳሴ መሠረቱም ይህ ነዉ ማለት ነዉ።

ፕሮፌሰር ዶናልድ ኤን ለቪን ስለዚህ ታሪክ ቁልጭ ኣድርጎ ኣስቀምጧል።

ቀድሞ የነበረ ታሪካቸዉን መርሳት ያልፈለጉ፣ የተረገመ ጎሳ መባልም ስላልፈለጉ ለሁለት ሺህ ዐመታት ገደማ ያዘገመ የማንነት ትግል ዉስጥ ገቡ ብሏል።

በኣጭሩ ይህ ማለት የሁለት ሺህ ዓመታት ገደማ ኣዙሪት ማለት ነዉ።

ከዚህ ኣዙሪት እንላቀቅ ስንል ሌሎች ዉስጡ ጥብቅ ማለት ይመቻቸዋል።

የተመከረዉ ሆረስ “ሀበሻ ሀበሻ ነዉ። በቃ!” የሚል ዘፈን ስያደምጥ ሰምቼ በቃ! ኣለ ፕሮፌሰሩ ብዬ ኣስቆኝ ኣለፍኩኝ። ካልዘነጋሁ ምስራቅ እዛ ርዕስ ዉስጥ ነዉ “ኢድየት” ያለዉ።

እላይ የጠቀስኩኝ ዐረፈተነገር ሀበሻ ሀበሻ ነዉ። በቃ! ያለዉን ዘፈን ይጻረራል።

በመሠረቱ ይህም ክፍፍል በሃይማኖት በኩል ያልሰሙ የትኛዉም የኢትዮጵያ ጎሳ ሴም ነኝ ወይም ኩሽ ነኝ የሚል የነበረ ኣይመስለኝም።

ካለ እስቲ ይህ ጎሳ ነዉ ብላችሁ ስለ ጎሳዉ የምያዉቅ ኣዛዉንት ለምስክርነት ይገኛል።
