A New Year, A New Opportunity for Eritrea.
This year should mark a turning point. Eritreans at home and in the diaspora are ready to work, invest, and rebuild their country. What is needed now is trust and decisive reform.
First, declare Eritrea fully open for investment without preconditions. Remove the 2% diaspora tax and end the requirement of signing regret documents (NayTaesa). Eritreans abroad are willing and able to return to jump-start the economy.
Second, restore the private sector. Reissue licenses to private construction companies, engineers, and contractors. Development cannot happen without housing, infrastructure, and jobs.
Third, reform national service into a time-limited, skills-based system that frees youth to work, innovate, and create businesses.
Fourth, protect property rights, enforce contracts, and ensure transparency. Trust is the foundation of investment.
Finally, invest in education, vocational training, ports, logistics, agriculture, and small businesses. Eritrea’s location and human capital are powerful assets.
Eritreans are not asking for handouts, only the freedom to build.
If the government opens the door, the people will carry the nation forward.
Happy New Year Eritrea!!!

I couldn't agree more with this honest and timely call now that the Ethiopian opportunistic leaders have kept on their dishonest and miserable empty threats filled with nothing but big lies and silly bravado against a nation that had saved them. Yes, it is time to move and march on, rebuilding Eritrea physically and economically.
