Eritrea initiated the leaders summit that took place in Asmara

Toronto – On Thursday, the Presidents of Egypt, Eritrea and the Federal government of Somalia met in Asmara where they “held extensive consultations on vital regional and international issues at a tripartite summit,” as announced in the joint statement which Eritrea’s Ministry of Information published.
It is not for the first time for the leaders of the three countries to meet following the tension between Ethiopia and Somalia since earlier this year. Their first meeting was in Cairo. This time Eritrea initiated a meeting to formalize the alliance it crafted after the fall out with Abiy Ahmed’s administration.
In 2018, Eritrea officially emerged as a key player in the Horn of Africa with the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) government in domestic politics and its eventual retreat to Mekelle, seat of the Tigray regional State.
With the end of the two decades of “no-peace-no-war” relation between Ethiopia and Eritrea, for which Abiy Ahmed was credited and awarded a Nobel Peace Prize, Eritrea forged a tripartite alliance with Ethiopia and Somalia. It did not last long.
First the relation between Ethiopia and Eritrea soured reportedly over the Pretoria Agreement in 2022. According to sources, Eritrea was outraged that Abiy Ahmed’s government did not have consultation with the Eritrean government while the latter was a party to the war in the Tigray region. Today, Nebiyu Tedla, spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the relation with Eritrea has not changed.
In January this year, tension developed between Ethiopia and Somalia after the former signed a memorandum of understanding with Somaliland to get a rental coastal area for maritime commercial and military purposes.
The developments cited above provided Egypt, with whom Ethiopia has unfriendly relations in connection with the (Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam), an opportunity to position itself as a state with whom Eritrea and Somalia wanted to form an alliance. The alliance is against Ethiopia, as reported by BBC. Somalia and Egypt already signed a military pact in August this year, and the target is Ethiopia.
According to a disclosure from the Ministry of Information of Eritrea, the three countries “Agreed to develop and deepen cooperation and coordination between the three countries in order to enhance the capabilities of the Somali state institutions to confront various internal and external challenges, and to enable the Somali National Federal Army to confront terrorism in all its forms, protect its land and sea borders, and maintain its territorial integrity.” It means that the alliance will have implications for Somalia’s internal political dynamics as regional states are resisting the Mogadishu government as it relates to Egyptian military presence in Somalia.
Despite denial from Ethiopia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the relation between Eritrea and Ethiopia is worsening. Ethiopian Airlines has suspended flights to Asmara citing operational difficulties after the Eritrean government froze Ethiopian Airlines Bank account Eritrea. Reports are also emerging that the telephone lines between Ethiopia and Eritrea are disconnected. Eritreans who live in Addis Ababa were reporting that they were unable to connect with their family in Eritrea by phone.
Somalia accuses Ethiopia of violating its sovereignty when the latter signed a MoU with Somaliland, Somalia’s breakaway region in the North that existed as a de facto state for more than 33 years. The joint statement from the Summit Eritrea initiated seems to have rejected the MoU and by implication Somaliland’s pursuit of international recognition for statehood.
The three countries agreed for the “unequivocal respect for the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of the countries of the region; confronting interference in the internal affairs of the countries of the region under any pretext or justification; coordinating joint efforts to achieve regional stability; and creating a conducive climate for joint and sustainable development,” as highlighted in the joint statement.

This is my take about this ‘tripartite’ pow wow. Both el-Sisi and Hassan Sheikh Mahmoud are Arabs but Brother Isaias is unrepentant nigger. Brother Isaias fully understands why el-Sisi is cajoling with him now or even going back to the 1960’s. If he has an ax to grind now with Ethiopia, he does not need the help of both Egypt and Somalia. He already has thousands of well armed rag tags he had trained at his Sawa wreaking havoc now in Amhara and Oromia regions. Just look at the photo of the three and where Brother Isaias is sitting. The nigger is not in the middles surrounded by two ‘white’ Arabs. Don’t you dare call Hassan Sheikh Mahmoud a black man. Don’t even think about it. He is a descendant of a Saudi or Yemeni ‘Imam'(depending which day of the week you are asking him about that) that came to some joint in Somalia(This one also depends where he stands when you ask him the question where) about a thousand years ago to preach. The Imam somehow found 5 or 6 local women. All those 5 or 6 women bore him several children(about 42 of them) and boom! Fast forward to 2024, those 42 mongrels multiplied into 19 million Hassan Sheikh Mahmoud’s. Now, be careful in telling that to our Issa or Isaaq brothers and sisters and if you do you will get the stare down that will make regret for life! No wonder why he and his followers choose the tribal name of more than 450 million proud and upright Africans ‘Bantu’ as a denigrating term against those they hate or don’t get along with. So, I don’t think el-Sisi’s real motive is not and will never be lost on Brother Isaias’ mind. I did not make this up. Tell el-Sisi again, Brother. Tell him again.

Now, these bigots and connivers in Minnesota, LA, Michigan, Tennessee, Toronto, Oslo and Down Under will hang the copy of this photo in their living rooms, cars and shelters. They may even be tempted to tattoo it all over their uncomely bodies.
The intervention by the Eritrean dictator in the war on Tigray was a game changer. The TDF routed the Ethiopian army and took control following its lightning attacks but the well trained and equipped Eritrean army intervened and took command of the remaining and retreating government army. The Eritrean military officers commanded the Government army and allied Amhara militia until the ceasefire and signing of the Pretoria agreement in 2022. TDF sources say that the Amhara forces are beating the Oromo dominated government army which does not have well trained and experienced officers at all levels.

“There were a lot of bombings. It was too much. My employers locked me in the house and left to save their own lives,” she tells BBC News Arabic.
The sound of explosions has left Andaku traumatised. She has lost track of how many days she was left alone in the house before her employers returned.
“When they came back, they threw me out. They never paid me and I had nowhere to go,” she says, adding that she was lucky enough to have enough money to catch a bus to the capital, Beirut.
Andaku’s story is not the only one.
Last Friday, UN officials said most of Lebanon’s nearly 900 government-organised shelters were full following the escalation of the Israel-Hezbollah conflict, and expressed concern for the tens of thousands of mostly female domestic workers in the country.
According to the International Organization for Migration, there are around 170,000 migrant workers in Lebanon. Many of them are women from Kenya, Ethiopia, Sudan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and the Philippines.
“We are receiving increasing reports of migrant domestic workers being abandoned by their Lebanese employers, either left on the streets or in their homes as their employers flee,” Mathieu Luciano, the IOM’s head of office in Lebanon, told a press briefing in Geneva.” BBC
Eritrean mafia leaders are supporters of Fanno. If Eritrea formalizes anti-Ethiopian alliance it crafts , fanno is identifying itself as anti-ethiopia.
Listen up y’all! Extra! Extra! Read all about it!!!
I just returned from Al-Qahirah after meeting with Al-Rees el-Sisi. Our meeting took 2 weeks and the main topic on our agenda was the country we both hate with passion: Ethiopia and the GERD dam it is building on the property of Egypt. We looked through a report prepared by the world famous Egyptian legalists. Their study had focused on the ground where those niggers(abids) from Ethiopia have been building the largest dam in Africa. The experts from Egypt have discovered that the dam is built on location surrounded by very active fault line. An earthquake stringer that 7.0 on the Richter scale is over due and can strike at anytime now. If that happens, the dam will unleash the more than 90 trillion cubic of water it is now holding in the reservoir behind the dam. That lightening fast and more than 35ft wall of flood will kill more than 35 millions Sudanese and 45 million Egyptians. It will also stop the White Nile in its tracks and that back up will flood half of South Sudan million more than 15 million people there. More than 5 million Ugandans will lose their lives due to flooding from backup of the White Nile. So my dear brother el-Sisi and I come up with a plan that will grab away the entire area where the dam is located and transfer it to a management experts team entirely manned by Egyptians. I will be leading the raid force created by el-Sisi and I just for this purpose. So if you don’t hear from me during the coming one week, that is because I am busy kicking some ass of the Tutsi Jula’s and the Filipino Abiy’s army. Also, el-Sisi and I agreed not to share our plan with Brother Isaias because he has always been suspicious of Egypt’s motives, Right after I liberated the GERD dam area, I will then liberate Ogaden and hand it over to Af-Mishaar and Sheikh Mohamud. See how el-Sisi and I make it too easy? Am I genius or what?!
Make that: We looked through a report prepared by the world famous Egyptian geologists.
It is for sure that Ethiopia will get North Korean type of leaders once we handle everything that is dragging us right now locally, then we don’t even have to talk about them, we just send them a nice-looking gift over the sky every time they meet against Ethiopia, every time they make a small move against Ethiopia. We run out of options! To survive that is something we haven’t done so far. Trust me that will work, The world also appreciates a strong country. I hate to use Israel as an example since they are Invaders, but I don’t hate their preemptive strikes style when they detect dangers.
