Today on
#Eritrea
’s independence day, I want to share a speech I recently gave at the United Nations.
The only way we can meaningfully honour our freedom fighters is by continuing their fight. I hope this speech can shine light on why that is.

I don’t understand how people can minimise the pain many of us feel when we see how different Ukrainian refugees are being treated from other refugees. It’s painful to constantly be reminded that this treatment could’ve been possible for our loved ones if only they were white.

Tigray has never had this little humanitarian supplies. People are unnecessarily starving, dying, suffering. I have never felt as helpless as I do following & working on the conflict in Ethiopia. But the only thing we can do is to keep doing what we can until this nightmare ends.

Sudanese people are watching two men and their international sponsors destroy their country, all whilst getting no support from the outside world. The heartache must be unbearable.
Drowning in the sadness today. Couldn’t shake it off at all, couldn’t repress it, couldn’t just live with it.
It swallowed me whole.

To All Eritreans: For 17 years, our government has used the war with Ethiopia as an excuse for their oppressive rule. Now that war is over, we need to hold them to account. Put pressure, be loud, don't give up - the future of Eritrea is determined by how we act now.

My statement at the United Nations, delivered with the Eritrean regime representative sitting on the same panel, was directed to all individuals and governments who claim to still have hope for the regime. I argued that what they have isn't hope, it is self interest. (1/3)

Just to be clear: it doesn’t matter if a government has declared a state of emergency, arbitrary detention is still illegal under international law REGARDLESS of circumstances. Tigrayans in Addis are currently terrified for themselves and their loved ones. This needs to end.
Security forces in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, have targeted Tigrayans, including children and the elderly, with arbitrary arrests and mass detentions as part of an escalating crackdown.

I have never supported any government in Ethiopia or Eritrea. My only concern is the well-being of their people and throughout history, they have all been let down by all leaders. I condemn TPLFs attack in Asmara with the same amount of force I condemned Abiy’s attack in Tigray.
Praying for my people who never seem to get a break from man-made destruction and oppression.
If you are Eritrean, I (as always) urge you to speak up for those who have deliberately been made voiceless and robbed from any influence in the politics affecting them.

How can you be Eritrean and not be constantly angry? How can you think about the disparities between what our martyrs fought for and what currently exists, and not be furious? The Eritrean regime has destroyed Eritrea, and no one can deny that. How are so many people this calm?

It breaks my heart that Eritreans literally have to leave the country to have any shot at a decent life. It’s such a simple thing but I can’t stop thinking about it. I will never understand how that is considered okay or normal for regime supporters living in the diaspora.

This is has been going on in different degrees since the day the war started in November 2020. Can’t decide what’s worse - denying there is a blockade or making up excuses for it when they know there is no lawful excuse to blocking humanitarian aid.

This interview made me furious and I could say a lot, but for now I’m going to keep it short:
There was never any peace, there was just a ‘friendship’ forged between Abiy and Isaias against a common enemy. And anyone with genuine interest for the people in the region knew that.
"It's an unprecedented situation that a
#NobelPeacePrize
laureate is involved in warfare."
I ask the Chair of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, if giving

Join us tomorrow as we call for an end to the war in Sudan! Eritreans should join in solidarity with the Sudanese & to speak up for Eritrean refugees there who currently are in desperate need of help. I’ll be giving a speech at the protest.

I demand the immediate release of Ciham Ali, a US-Eritrean national who was detained in
#Eritrea
in 2012 - when she was only 15 years old. She has not been seen since. I call on
@SecBlinken
to urgently intervene in Ciham's case.

The youth have a lot to look forward to?? Minister of INSPIRATION?????
This could be a good time to reshare this article I wrote last year about how Tiffany has supported the Eritrean dictator responsible for the country’s 30 year long human rights crisis
I talked with the President today about the Future of the people. The youth have a lot to look forward to. They will know what true wealth is.

I don’t usually respond to harassment but I will say one thing: Anyone whose mind isn’t clouded by love for Isaias Afewerki knows that I’m on the right side of history. My love for the Eritrean people is too strong for anything you say or do to stop me.
My heart is so full from all the love I have received about this so far. I do this work because it is my duty as a privileged diaspora born. I speak up bcs so many Eritreans are silenced in our country and in neighbouring countries, or exhausted from the trauma after they flee.

A Pulitzer Prize winning journalist described Seyoum Tsehaye as “...the worst kind of enemy of an authoritarian state. He’s rebellious, ungovernable, freethinking, & has a magnetic personality. And he had the skills to tell stories."
22 years today since they imprisoned my uncle

Still can’t believe a representative of a government led by a Nobel Peace Laureate actually said:
“We want to send a message to the public in Mekelle to save themselves from any artillery attacks and free yourselves from the junta ... After that, there will be no mercy.”
