Africa's Role Model: Eritrea's 30 Years of Independence

By: Thomas Mountain

Friday, 21 May 2021

Africa’s role model, Eritrea, located on the Red Sea will mark 30 years of independence this coming Monday, May 24. When a rag tag band of afro coiffed Eritrean rebels drove captured Ethiopian tanks into the streets of our capital Asmara thirty years ago it marked the first
successful armed struggle for national liberation on the continent. Others had fought but only Eritrea took it all the way, defeating the occupying colonial army of Ethiopia and winning power
by the barrel of a gun.
This Independence Day has seen Eritrea overcome too many obstacles to name and not only preserved our national sovereignty but build a Pan Africanist unity here in the Horn of Africa, that is threatening the very basis of neo-colonialism’s continued exploitation of Africa’s
people and resources.

Eritrea, under the leadership of President Isaias Afewerki has brought about a remarkable transformation in our erstwhile enemy, Ethiopia, next door. Where once the gangster government of Ethiopia, the Tigray Peoples Liberation Front, were our sworn enemy all the while brutally repressing the Ethiopian people, today Ethiopia has destroyed the TPLF and begun to move away from its history of famine and war towards a self sufficient, independent and peaceful country.

And this was all brought about by almost two decades of behind the scenes diplomacy and trust building with the new government, lead by Prime Minister Abyi Ahmed. When in 2018, Isaias Aferwerki announced at
our Martyrs Day program that it was “game over” for the TPLF in Ethiopia, we were all shocked. It had all been done secretly and when PM Abiy flew into our capital Asmara a short time later, he had a lot of very positive things to say about Eritrea. How he wanted to emulate
Eritrea’s self sufficiency and independence, to the point where he said he would be our
unofficial foreign minister…so he could help fight the lies being told about Eritrea.
This wasn't the end, of the TPLF. It wasn't until November of 2020, that following a desperate attempt to regain national power via a coup d’etat and the subsequent final destruction of the TPLF on the field of battle that the next chapter of Ethiopian freedom and prosperity begun.

Of course there are still major problems in Ethiopia, daunting challenges to those without a firm grasp of what is really going on. But as PM Abiy said when President Issias first visited Ethiopia on July 8, 2018, (to paraphrase the Amharic spoken by Abiy Ahmed):
We have a lot of problems in Ethiopia to overcome, but don't worry Isaias [Aferwerki] is leading us.
Straight from the horses mouth, so to speak. This statement couldn't be denied only ignored, which of course it was. But there was no ignoring the new, close friendship and solidarity that has been growing between Ethiopia and Eritrea. PM Abiy credited Eritrea with
playing “a crucial role” in defeating the TPLF coupsters and thanked us publicly for our support in this speech to the Ethiopian Parliament, days after the final battle that finished off the TPLF army.

Ethiopia is about to hold an election and all signs indicate a landslide victory, by Abiy Ahmed and his supporters. PM Abiy has promised to write a new constitution for Ethiopia that will include the nationalization of all the land and thus lay the basis to end the centuries old ethnic based violence, over land ownership. If the government owns all the land, how can they fight over what land belongs to what ethnic group? The land will be assigned by the government to those that will use it and to hell with all the foreign bloodsuckers, that have been ripping off Ethiopias wealth under the TPLF.

Nationalizing the land, which is what Eritrea did upon winning independence on the battle field thirty years ago, is a major change in Africa and when adopted by the rest of the continent after they see just how important it was to do this by Ethiopia (how it lead the way in transforming Ethiopia from a backward, war and famine blighted country to the beginnings of a modern, self sufficient independent country similar to Eritrea) a major step will have been taken in the critical move away from western, mainly EU theft of African wealth and the beginning of a new truly Pan Africanist continent.

Land nationalization is the first step in ending the bloodthirsty grip of neo-colonialism on our continent and this is what has got the western imperialist so upset, to the point where they have launched a vicious slander & disinformation campaign about what is really going on in Ethiopia today, especially in the former stronghold
of the TPLF- Tigray.

Expect a lot of lies and slander about the upcoming election in Ethiopia, to try and denigrate PM Abiy’s upcoming landslide. The TPLF regime were overwhelmingly hated by all Ethiopians and its destruction has been cheered by Ethiopians, at home and in the diaspora. The popularity of PM Abiy and his program for change in Ethiopia will be demonstrated conclusively in this upcoming election, so all the western banksters and their lackeys in the UN and the human rights mob will be able to do is try and spread disinformation and slander in an attempt to taint the legitimacy of the election.

The role model Eritrea has been for the last 30 years, has begun to be noticed in Africa and the new government in Sudan is just one example of how Eritrea is leading the way in bringing peace; to what used to be known as the Horn of Hunger.

The end of the TPLF was publicly welcomed by all of the nations comprising the Horn of Africa, Kenya, Sudan, Somalia, Djibouti and others as well. While the future is still fraught with challenges and difficulties, there is a role model for our neighbors and eventually the rest of Africa to follow. Eritrea is Africa’s role model, and has 30 years of independence to prove it.

I am proud of being Eritrean. The history of our country, our struggle and the underdog story, the resilience of the people and our integrity is something that I feel pride in being attached to.

Strengthening Reforestation Activities for a Sustainable Future

By: Mikal Tesfay

https://shabait.com/2021/05/22/strength ... le-future/

GENERAL

May 22, 2021



Cultivated trees are planted and tended to by humans usually because they provide food, ornamental beauty, or some type of wood product that is beneficial. Trees are mainly used as a source of fuel. Wood has traditionally been used for fuel, especially in rural areas. In many less developed countries, firewood may be the only source of fuel available, while in more developed countries firewood is a choice rather than a necessity. However, many people (including me), seem to forget that those trees being cut down and used for firewood are important in other ways. Specifically, they help improve the quality of human life by soaking up pollution and dust from the air. As well, they are habitats for various animals. And, of course, they also mitigate global warming since plants facilitate bio-security from atmospheric carbon dioxide. Taking all of this into account, the Eritrean government took measures in restoring forestry for the past 30 years.

In Eritrea, one of the main tasks of the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) is regulating, preserving, and restoring the natural resources of the country. The natural resources that are mainly related to the Ministry of Agriculture, are forestry and wildlife. Eritrea’s approximately 1000 kilometer coastline has been praised, as one of the least polluted and most beautiful in the world. The decades under colonial rule, not only affected the people but also its natural environment. Although its environment at sea has been well preserved and is still flourishing, Eritrea’s land has suffered the environmental consequences of development and conflicts. In Eritrea, it is widely believed by both rural and urban people that forests have decreased from 30% of the land which was once the beauty of the country to less than 1%. Some of this land was converted to farmland due to the dramatic increase in population, while some were degraded by enemy forces to reduce cover during the armed struggle for independence. These are some of the main reasons for the cause of deforestation, throughout Eritrea.

Deforestation, is one of the main factors contributing to the expansion of desertification. The factors that lead to deforestation and thus to desertification may include; the need for land for grazing and arable land due to the increase in population, unwise expansion of agricultural activities and house construction. These mentioned above, the reduced ground cover, led to the washing away of fertile soil in Eritrea. As a result, the reforestation program has been underway parallel to combating desertification.



This program can be divided, into two parts. The first part is conducting restoration of natural vegetation, through developing both temporary and permanent enclosures throughout the country. They simply enclose the area to avoid people trespassing, to avoid grazing animals, cultivation, cutting trees, and so on. The MoA is working to let nature take its role, in leading the program of restoration of vegetation. The vegetation area possibly is regenerated quickly, largely due to the existence of previous trees or seed banks in the soil or life roots. According to the director of the natural resources regulatory division, Mr. Estifanos Beyin, so far 200,000 hectares of land have been regenerated naturally. The second part is the MoA has been carrying out reforestation programs of degraded lands, with the participation of local communities and students of a summer work program. This is done, by planting both exotic and indigenous trees.

Since 1994 and the initiation of the Summer Work Program, high school students throughout the nation have spent their summers terracing, foresting, and working in the conservation of water and soil to reduce the washing away of valuable topsoil. These students are also responsible for planting hundreds of thousands of trees every year, inorder to rebuild the damaged ecosystem and strengthen the soil systems of the land. Both practices substantially improve the long-term effectiveness of the scores of water detention ponds and dams, built to store water for Eritrean farmers.

Aside from that, numerous efforts have been made for the purpose of reversing deforestation and of developing sustainable highland forest management. These include: addressing the causes of deforestation and highland forest degradation; involving the whole community in afforestation and forest conservation efforts; supporting efforts for the re-greening of the degraded landscape and of combating desertification; and developing sound rules and regulations that provide a balanced approach between the environmental and developmental functions of highland forests and the needs of the local community living in and around the highland forest or woodland.

Eritrea’s measures to reforest the country, are part of the larger effort to combat desertification. Recently, Eritrea agreed to work with a number of other states across the continent to develop a “green wall” to combat the creeping desertification from the Sahara. The Great Green Wall initiative is a project to plant a wall of trees across Africa at the southern edge of the Sahara Desert, to prevent desertification. The initiative is a partnership that supports the effort of local communities in the sustainable management and use of forests, rangelands, and other natural resources in drylands. It also seeks to contribute to climate change mitigation and adaptation. The buffering wall should stabilize soils and keep them moist, slow the drying and scouring effects of the wind, and help restore the micro-climate; thus allowing food crops to grow around the trees. According to the UN Convention to Combat Desertification, the goal is to restore 100 million hectares of degraded land by 2030, while removing 250 million tons of carbon from the atmosphere. Notably, at the same time, at least 350,000 rural jobs could be created. The countries currently participating in the initiative, in addition to Eritrea, include Algeria, Burkina Faso, Chad, Djibouti, Egypt, Ethiopia, Gambia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, and Senegal.

In Eritrea, the local green campaign, which aims to promote awareness of people to the harms of deforestation and reduce its effects is held annually on May 15. The annual green campaign initiative was first established in 2006, as a way to expand and consolidate existing greening programs and activities in the country. During the early years of the initiative, there was one green club. However, today, there are more than 580 green clubs across the country. Throughout this year’s activities, over 25 million trees were planted and large stretches of the coastline were protected. According to Mr. Estifanos, a variety of species such as wild aśs, kudu, ostrich, and monkeys depend on vegetation, thus it is important to conserve and reforest green areas and rangelands. This is to provide a viable atmosphere, for the wildlife to thrive. He also added that public awareness of the negative consequences of cutting down trees and hunting has increased, while various communities’ commitment to conservation and protecting wildlife is commendable.

Brother Kuasmeda, don't forget that Awash, coming from the cursed land, will die heartbroken for he couldn't stand the reality of Eritrea, especially when witnessed by the foreign media whom he apparently considers as his tribe's creators! LOL!

Dr Zmesello, thank you and please continue to bring those good sights of our beloved Eritrea. Happy Eritrean Independence month for all. Eritrea Prevails, Ethiopia Prevails, Somalia Prevails, New & Improved, strong and resilient united HornofAfrica emerges thanks to its visionary leaders!
