Horn of Africa Diplomacy: Eritrea and U.S. Forge New Ties

https://hintsa9.wordpress.com/2025/08/2 ... -new-ties/


Eritrean diplomatic corps engaged in ongoing high-level discussions with US high-level officials

Diplomatic relations between Eritrea and the United States are undergoing a profound transformation, moving from a tense past to a promising strategic partnership. This evolution was initiated by a letter from President Donald Trump to Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki, demonstrating a renewed interest in bilateral cooperation.

Following this initiative, the Eritrean diplomatic corps engaged in ongoing high-level discussions with members of the U.S. National Security Council, including President Trump’s White House Advisor, Brandon McNamara. These discussions focused on redefining Eritrea-U.S. relations and preparing for future collaboration.

The two countries are reportedly preparing to sign agreements on economic development, regional security, and political cooperation. In a similar vein, a French oil exploration company has arrived in Eritrea to conduct preliminary research, reflecting growing international interest in the country’s natural resources.

We call it begging or feet k!ssing - resulted from fear of Ethiopia. Nothing is far from the truth, no body stops Assab from joining her mother land Ethiopia. Just a reminder to help accept the truth so as stop than working hard on something not yours. Learn from Crimea.

Axumezana looks forward for peaceful Coexistance of Ethiopia & Eritrea with economic integration & liberalization. The dividend from peace could be shared by all Ethiopians & Eritreans.

You have to articulate " economic integration & liberalization". Ownership has to be first defined for a meaningful integration. Who should be the rightful owner of Assab? This is a bonus gift to Shabia presented by Ascari-Meles zenawi, just not only once but twice after Shabia defeated in the Badme crisis.

It is not right to go into business with someone who stole your property. If you do so you will be stolen more. Historical injustice done by Woyane has to be undone first. That is a MUST prerequisite. All the hiccup and feet k!ssing of Shabia does not make sense to me - they have to return Assab if they want enduring peace and its benefit.

Stupid animal, Assab has already owner, they are called Afars, Get Assab out of your smelly mouth.

I believe Meles made a strategic error for allowing Isaias to take Assab with out any meaningful negotiation & I still regret it! . He should have used it as a condition to recognize Eritrea . For me it is better to peacefully integrate the whole Eritrea through confederation arrangement than taking Assab by force & continue to fight( Egypt & the . Actually most Eritreans want to be integrated with Ethiopia in some forum. Same formula also may work for Tigray. Axumezana was promoting taking over Assab by force but that was a tactical move to bring division between the two genociders that have been destroying Tigray.

I'm telling you, you won't keep what's already "yours" for long.

Why I would I sooth the temper tantrum of a veteran prostitute from Aba-shawel and merkato (who was a se.x toy of Gurage boys to learn how to scr.ew). It would be stupid to talk to an old f@rt veteran prostitute who does not know a damn thing about geography and politics, only you say Afar is a country. You do not know a damn thing about Afar.

Axumezana,

First, please don’t engage in cross-selling by bringing Tigray into the equation unnecessarily. I have no objection to the idea of Eritrea being part of Ethiopia, especially considering the reality on the ground—there are many Eritreans living in Ethiopia, just as there are in Eritrea. In fact, the intermarriage rate between Eritreans in Addis Ababa and Ethiopians from various regions remains quite high even today.

However, this should not be conditional on the status of Assab. The return of Assab to Ethiopia should come first, as a separate and non-negotiable matter.

Second, the root cause of much of Ethiopia’s current dysfunction lies in the ethnic-based federal system. This structure must change for the sake of national unity and long-term stability. We must put citizenship above tribal divisions.

We will have contact with Eritrea: General Tefera Mamo

General Tefera Mamo in Amhara Special Forces Uniform (Photo : SM/archive)

Toronto – Former member of the Ethiopian Defense Force and commander of Special forces in the Amhara region, General Tefera Mamo denies that Fano forces had any contact with Eritrea or Tigray forces.

Although we do not have a relationship at this point, we will in the future,

Ethio News cited him as saying.

General Tefera alleges that the regime in Ethiopia is working against Northerners targeting Amhara, Tigray and Eritrea.

That is what we have seen,

he added.

General Tefera said so, in response to the question if he can confirm whether Fano forces are working with Eritrea and Tigray forces. The Ethiopian government has been accusing Fano forces of working with Eritrea.

About two weeks ago, the Ethiopian Defense Force made another claim this time linking fano’s “operation unity” to General Megbe Haile – a pro-Debretsion TPLF faction – who was also allegedly involved in criminal acts in the region. The Ethiopian government accuses him of undertaking an illegal gold trade via Eritrea.

Defense forces alleged, that it was General Megebe who planned “Operation Unity” – fano’s military offensive that targeted over 35 camps of the defense force across the Amhara region.

General Tefera calls the Defense force’s claims of the link between Fano forces operation and General Megbe, https://borkena.com/2025/03/21/ethiopia ... gbe-haile/

a provocation.

He added

the operation was a success.

Fano, is making remarkable progress. He also said, that more and more youth are joining Fano forces.

The Ethiopian Defense force, was on a move to deploy more forces to the Amhara region from Afar region and other directions. “Operation Unity” appears to be partly a response to that, based on General Tefera’s remark.

He tends to think that Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s government would have unleashed massive attacks, had it not been for lack of military capability.

General Tefera Mamo has been under travel restriction outside of Ethiopia and under intelligence watch in Addis Ababa, before he finally disappeared from Addis Ababa to join the Fano movement. It has been a year now, since he took a military advisory role within the Fano forces.

Abere I am in agreement with you the ethnic base constitution has to be revised but any revised or new constitution should balance unity with diversity!

[Abdisa]

The individuals who accumulated wealth by trafficking over 2 million Ethiopian migrants to the Middle East would love to have access to the sea to traffic more Ethiopians on board slave ships. This being the fact, I always get nauseated when I hear the human traffickers trying to articulate their criminal behavior using national interest as a cover.

Wedi Medhin Berad is too old to learn a new trick, he doesnt even have time to read diplomacy for dummies....





As Einstein used to say, insanity is to make the same thing and expect different results....


While Eritreans are becoming the laughing stock of the entire world, the dictator is using the country meager resources to create be regarded as the king maker of the Horn of Africa.
