What’s Behind Sentry’s Sudden Attack on Eritrea Just as Peace With Tigray Gains Ground?
Why has the George Clooney and John Prendergast-backed organization «The Sentry,» which has documented ties to the U.S. intelligence community, chosen this moment to single out the Eritrean Defense Forces?
The timing is hard to ignore. As grassroots movements for peace and reconciliation between Eritrea and Tigray gather momentum, border crossings reopen, and communities on both sides begin reconnecting, «The Sentry» releases a report that casts Eritrea in a harsh light.
Is this just a coincidence, or a calculated attempt to sabotage a fragile path toward peace?
The report raises serious questions. Why now, and why in this tone? At a time when trust is beginning to rebuild, such interventions risk rekindling suspicion and derailing the progress that ordinary people on both sides have worked so hard to achieve.
George Clooney likes to present himself as Hollywood’s conscience, a man of justice, peace, and human rights. But anyone looking closely can see through the performance. It is a role he plays, not a truth he lives.
His so-called humanitarian involvement in Darfur was little more than a publicity stunt, reportedly taken up to impress his wife. He tried, but failed. What he left behind was not real change or justice, but confusion and chaos. His efforts disappeared as quickly as the cameras turned away.
At the same time, George Clooney was closely connected to Jeffrey Epstein and his criminal circle, men accused of horrific crimes against women and children. He said nothing. He looked away. He stayed silent. That silence was not just shameful, it revealed the deep hypocrisy of his current actions.
Now, suddenly... George Clooney reappears as a moral crusader, accusing the Eritrean Defence Forces (EDF) based on unverified and already disproven claims. A key part of his report, a letter allegedly written by an EDF soldier, has been proven to be completely fake. Yet he continues to promote the lie.
Where was George Clooney’s voice when in Tigray, long before and far beyond the war, women and girls faced daily rape and abuse? These were not isolated acts, but a horrifying reality of life. Where was his outrage when HIV rates surged, and the Yikono campaign emerged to help survivors speak out? He said nothing. He gave no support. He stayed silent.

Now, when it suits him politically and when headlines are easy to grab, he suddenly speaks up — to attack Eritrea. Why now? Because it fits his script. Because media attention and controversy, put him back in the spotlight. He performs as the "Saint of Venice", only when the cameras are rolling.
Let us be clear. Moral authority is not something you pretend. It is something you earn through honesty, courage, and consistency. George Clooney, has failed in all of these.
Eritrea deserves truth. It deserves fairness. It deserves respect. It does not deserve lies, false accusations, or the self-serving theater of a celebrity activist.
George Clooney, is not a voice of justice!!!!!!
He is simply an actor, even in the world of human rights.
The Sentry, headed by CIA's Gayle Smiths underling, slanders Eritrean hero generals claiming they looted and plundered Tigray during the Eritrean intervention against the TPLF in 2020-21? Lies and slanders! What do you expect from the "Enough Project" exposed as CIA front in "Enough of the Enough Project in Africa".
The Sentry's libellous and defamatory accusation against Eritrea warrants robust rebuttal; if not legal action.
Deplorable and unconscionable as their act remains, it is not surprising in many ways.
Indeed, some of the prominent members of the Board were the principal culprits who exacerbated the 1998/2000 border conflict between Ethiopia and Eritrea by jettisoning the "facilitation/honest broker" role that they were entrusted with to take a partisan position in support of the EPRDF regime.
Later, they leveraged their status and influence in the US State Department to ram through the illicit UNSC sanctions against Eritrea in 2009 and 2011 respectively. This historical baggage is well documented to be denied or shrugged of.
Today, and instead of atoning for their past crimes, they seem bent on reviving their "unfinished agenda" by resuscitating and intensifying their malicious campaign of defamation and hostility against Eritrea.
