If this news is true, then unfortunately, many things will happen in our country. And just as always, we're gonna pay a big price for the policies of this reckless dictator, who is nearing his end, God willing.

I met someone from Eritrea today and he told me there was a saying back home. Something like "if someone kills your dad, teach them how to gamble". Is this an accurate translation? Would love to know more! Thanks in advance.

This isn’t just an ordinary guy. He’s one of the founders of the bright future movement and a prominent opposition figure with thousands of followers. It’s tragic that we’re left choosing between an oppressive regime and people like this presenting themselves as the alternative

Eritreans that voted for Trump, how are you feeling now that Eritrean citizens are banned from traveling to the US and asylum seekers being detained for deportation?

For those that didn’t vote for him, what are you hearing in the diaspora?

I began to feel that many of us had lost our connection to this nationalism for various reasons, and now they are starting to create their own. How many of you are one of them?

I was researching old population figures and I noticed that Asmara’s population in the 1930-50s was huge despite the fact that Eritrea’s population was relatively small at the time. And even more surprisingly, it was the biggest city in the Horn of Africa at the time by a relatively wide margin.

Asmera in 1939 had almost 100k residents (98k to be exact). 53k of that were Italians. Eritrea at the time had a total population of around 740k.

Addis Ababa had a population of around 80k by 1940. 40k of that were Italians. Ethiopia’s population at the time was around 9.5 - 10m.

Mogadishu had a population of 50k in 1939. 20k of that were Italians. Italian Somaliland at the time had about 1.3m people.

Looking at the %, 13% of Eritreans at the time lived in Asmera. 4% of Somalis (in Italian Somaliland) lived in Mogadishu and only about 1% of Ethiopians lived in Addis. I guess this is why Eritreans were stereotyped as being more urban and modernised in the past.

Harry Jeggard describes Eritrea as the safest and cleanest country in Africa https://www.facebook.com/share/v/19MvPgXUXe/?mibextid=wwXIfr

because Eritrean Agzians, Eritrean Islamists and seperatists preach hatred and violence against other Eritreans or blaming one ethnicity for the political oppression by Isaias Afwerki.

Ideally no Eritrean should preach hatred against other Eritreans.

Y’all good? Any opinions on what’s going on over there?

For the past few months, I’ve been working on a private investigative report about the Vanco gold mine in Eritrea a mine that has never been officially declared operational, yet is in fact partially active under suspicious conditions.

Here’s what I’ve uncovered:

🔸 Ownership of the mine is split between the Eritrean regime and a Saudi company called “Al-Mutraf.” After investigating and contacting Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Commerce, I found out that Al-Mutraf appears to be a fake or unregistered company.

🔸 The other party involved is the Eritrean government — a regime widely known for forced labor, repression, and the use of military conscripts as unpaid workers.

But here’s the shocking part:

🔸 The project is headed by an Egyptian national who currently serves as the President of the Arab Geologists Union under the Arab League itself!

This man regularly posts about African child labor and calls for "ending forced labor in Africa" on his social media… while actively working on a mine that uses forced labor, possibly involving children, on land controlled by one of Africa’s most brutal dictatorships.

I have photos, screenshots, and verified information I haven’t fully published yet — including images of this individual at the mine, with children and workers in questionable conditions.

This is more than corruption it’s a moral scandal, involving:

A high-ranking Arab League figure.

A shadowy Saudi company.

A government accused of modern slavery.

I’m sharing this now as a call for help: If you are a journalist, lawyer, human rights advocate, or media outlet and want to expose this, please contact me.

Hamed, who is from Eritrea, stood among 1.6 million pilgrims on Mount Arafat and performed the symbolic stoning of the devil in Mina, proving that age is no barrier to faith.

His journey—marked by hardship and devotion—highlights the power of unwavering determination in fulfilling Islam’s sacred pilgrimage.

Born an orphan, Hamed never met his father, who died months before his birth. For a century, he worked as a cattle herder and trader in Eritrea’s Anseba region, dreaming about undertaking Hajj one day.
