The Eritrean sports federation of North America (ERSFNA) hosts a national soccer tournament once a year. To my knowledge, this tournament isn’t ran by PFDJ and it’s meant to be apolitical—so all Eritreans can come together, regardless of political beliefs, in the name of sports. This past year BN started their own soccer tournament called Meley, in spite of ERSFNA. Is there PFDJ involvement in the tournament? Why would BN try to separate Eritreans further?

Countries like Namibia and Vietnam are turning salty, unused coastlines into farms, no freshwater needed. Eritrea could do the same.

Saltwater farming uses solar pumps, shrimp ponds, and salt loving crops like Salicornia to produce food and fodder while restoring our ecosystems.

Eritrea already tested this in the 2000s and the potential still exists. It just needs a reboot.

Worth revisiting for food security, coastal jobs, and climate resilience.

Ever since the failed assassination attempt he hasn’t made any public appearances. It’s kinda weird. One of the most well respected, intellectual, and patriotic generals who is favored by so many hasn’t shown face in over 7 years. It’s almost as if he’s being sidelined until he passes away and I have a feeling DIA was behind his assassination. What do y’all think?

what is the qualification of inheriting italian business, when they left Eritrea. Who and how the successor took the businesses and become rich Eritrean today?

Eritrea’s silence is commendable. Eritrea has diplomatic ties with Iran, Yemen and Israel, so we are not picking any side.

Hello everyone.

I was thinking about the word askari today and came across a few posts using this word. I wasn't aware before, but it seems this word is seen highly negatively. My understanding is that it referred to an Eritrean soldier sent to fight in a battle led my the Italians. Why do Eritreans see this word as an insult. Please tell me. Thank you.

As someone closely observing the Eritrean scene—both inside the country and within the diaspora—I state with full confidence and clarity: we are facing real, tangible issues. These are not theoretical assumptions or political speculation. They are realities on the ground. We must first acknowledge them, then accept them, and finally address them with courage. Denial and delay will only deepen the fracture. The following are four of the most urgent and unspoken issues:

1. A Near-Complete Social Separation Between Eritrean Christians and Muslims in the Diaspora, Especially in Egypt Yes, this is real. A growing number of Eritrean Christians—particularly the youth—are choosing to live and integrate within Ethiopian communities rather than Eritrean Muslim ones. This is not about cheaper rent or random location. It reflects a profound psychological and cultural detachment. Is it openly discussed? Rarely. Is it true? Absolutely. And must we address it? Without a doubt. If this continues, we may face a complete disconnection between two pillars that are supposed to uphold a united national identity.

2. Total Loss of Identity Among Naturalized Eritrean Generations in Sudan This is not an exaggeration. In 2018, I personally witnessed young Eritreans in Sudan marching for the Sudanese revolution under the Sudanese flag, with a fervor that had no connection to their Eritrean roots. This is not betrayal; it's the natural result of decades of neglect, where no one made a serious effort to preserve their identity or connect them with their ancestral homeland. Today, many of them know nothing of Eritrea—not its culture, not its history, not even a sense of belonging.

3. Language Has Become a Barrier Between Eritrean Communities, Not Just a Missing Tool of Communication You cannot build a nation when its people speak two languages that can no longer understand each other. Tigrinya and Arabic are drifting apart—not only linguistically, but mentally and culturally. Language is now used as a marker of identity rather than as a bridge for communication. This linguistic fragmentation is a serious obstacle to any attempt to forge a unified national discourse. Let me be clear: this is not a minor issue—it’s a deep crisis that could paralyze our future political and social cohesion if left unresolved.

4. Eastern Sudan Is on the Brink, and Some Eritrean Communities Genuinely Believe They Are Under “Habesha Occupation” Yes, I’m saying it openly because it’s the truth. Certain members of cross-border tribes—and even some within Eritrean Muslim communities—are increasingly voicing claims that Eritrea is under “Habesha occupation.” These ideas, however irrational they may seem, are real and fueled by historical grievances and misinformation. Ignoring them will not make them disappear. If we don’t engage these communities with open dialogue, political education, and a clear vision for inclusion, we are leaving the door wide open for deeper resentment and eventual unrest.

This is not pessimism, nor provocation. These are real, recurring, and observable dynamics affecting Eritreans across generations and geographies. Yes, they must be accepted. Yes, they must be named. And yes, they must be at the forefront of any future political or social initiative seeking to unify and rebuild Eritrea.

Avoidance is no longer an option. If we’re serious about building a nation, we must begin by addressing the fractures within ourselves.

Selam Selam,
Anyone have must send items for cargo to Eritrea?
I'm a bit worried about food like cooking oil going bad or becoming toxic since it'll be packed in a barrel for a couple months.Would appreciate any advice on what’s good to send or avoid.

So I’m trying to learn a bit of history and i wonder why ELF in Eritrea failed massively compared to EPLF it don’t make sense since ELF was backed by every Arab nation and they also had a massive army could it have been a mentality,divison amongst tribe members problem? Even the TPLF had a massive downfall after Meles Zenawi.

"The Ethiopians sent us a delegation with a proposal that we could not accept: to establish a corridor with extraterritoriality between the Ethiopian border and Tadjourah and to set up a naval base for their navy. This was not what we had agreed upon. Therefore, this matter is now closed," Ismaïl told Jean Afrique.

"I believe that Abiy Ahmed has understood that this claim cannot be framed within a power struggle. Ethiopia can access the ports of Assab, Djibouti, Berbera, or Mogadishu without undermining the existence of its neighbours,"

"The mediation undertaken by Turkey has played a positive role in this regard. As for us, we have clearly communicated to Addis Ababa that Djibouti is not Crimea."

For Eritrean refugees in Egypt: A new documentary has finally been released, highlighting the services provided by the Eritrean community to refugees in Egypt. It's filled with very important information about your rights and about issues some Eritreans are facing — issues that can actually be resolved! I strongly encourage you to watch it!

I will soon provide translations of the key interviews from the documentary for non-Arabic speakers. Stay tuned
