https://x.com/eritrean_post/status/2100971918350336208?s=46 Breaking news: The United States under Donald Trump today removed the illegal extraterritorial sanctions on Eritrea that were imposed by former U.S. President Joe Biden. The move could boost U.S. ties with the African nation given its strategic location along the Red Sea shipping route. The decision, announced in a notice posted on the Department of the Treasury’s website, comes amid the ongoing and expanding war in the Middle East and renewed focus on the Red Sea, where Eritrea’s coastline lies opposite Saudi Arabia. @User

The illegal us sanctions included sanctions on most Eritrean state owned enterprises, Eritrea’s banking sector and mining sector. Eritrea was fully cut off from the Swift System. According UN charta, only the UNSC is allowed to impose sanctions on other countries. America bypassed the UNSC when US ruler Joe Biden imposed those sanctions on Eritrea in 2021. George H Bush did the same when he impose an blockade on Iraq without UN authorization in the 1990s. Thank god these illegal sanctions on Eritrea have been lifted. Now Eritrea should focus on its domestic Policies and introduce economic and political reforms

1. This is very good, now the administration has no excuse for economic reform to hide behind 2. Trump is most likely using it as leverage to get a base on the Red Sea 3. I wonder if the average people in the nation know?

nice

The anti Eritrean TPLF lobbyist Martin Plaut is now active on the Eritrean reddit well well @User https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1466091653168103568/1550923206913818794/517E59C3-6127-4FE8-A762-D6E6E4632591.jpg?ex=6ab0194b&is=6aaec7cb&hm=c043f49a77a1a8b0d6a84c87b8debfc726f130e7770c63b428f18a1fdbc69362&

Hi

Eritrea Must Seize the Moment: Political and Economic Reform After the Lifting of Sanctions Now that the sanctions on Eritrea have been lifted, the country should look inward and pursue serious political and economic reforms. These reforms are needed to improve living standards, create a more stable future, and help reconcile a population that has grown more polarized in recent years. Political Reforms: The most important political step is to implement the 1997 Constitution. The government originally planned to put it into force that year. A constitution is essential for the rule of law, the protection of citizens, and the guarantee of basic rights and freedoms. Without one, there is no reliable legal order and no consistent standard of justice. The border war interrupted that plan. In 2014 and 2016, President Isaias Afwerki publicly addressed the constitution and indicated a willingness to implement it. A decade later, however, that commitment has not been fulfilled. Eritrea should also release prisoners who have been held without a fair trial.

Military Service Reform: National service also requires reform. Basic training should be limited to eighteen months. Serving personnel should work under clearer and more humane conditions: a forty-hour week, a maximum of eight hours a day with a one-hour break, a higher minimum wage, fifteen to twenty days of annual leave, and a service contract limited to five years, renewable only by choice. Basic service itself should not exceed five years. Economic Reforms: Economic reform is equally urgent. With sanctions removed, Eritrea should concentrate on raising prosperity for ordinary citizens. Long-standing restrictions on the economy need to be eased. Since the early 2000s, the government has banned private construction and limited bank withdrawals to 5,000 nakfa per person per month. Importing goods, including vehicles, has also been extremely difficult. Many Eritrean entrepreneurs have left the country and built successful businesses abroad — hotels, construction firms, supermarkets, and hospitals in Uganda, gold-related enterprises in the UAE — while declining to invest at home. The question is why they cannot do the same in Eritrea. Lifting the ban on private construction would create jobs, ease the housing shortage, and attract foreign investment. A construction boom would also support transport, engineering, hotels, and fuel stations.

Import restrictions have driven up the cost of basic goods. Eritreans were once able to import cars more easily. Later rules required vehicles to be at least six years old, and restrictions tightened further after the 2015 currency change. Older cars now cost thousands of dollars. Easing these rules would lower prices, improve mobility, and create work in taxi, bus, and truck services. Citizens should also be allowed to withdraw more than 5,000 nakfa a month. That amount is too small to start a business. A private banking sector operating alongside state-owned banks would further support growth. Conclusion: The lifting of sanctions is only a beginning. Eritrea now needs to implement its constitution, reform national service, and open the economy to private investment and competition. Only then can the country build a more prosperous and just future for all its people.

Eritrea should not turn to neoliberalism

market socialism or state capitalism like in china would work

Extremely accurate depiction 😭

https://x.com/eritrean_post/status/2105583046896312632?s=46 Remembering Lampedusa: Eritrean Lives, European Silence, and the Road Home 13 years after the Lampedusa shipwreck, the deaths of hundreds of Eritreans and other African migrants remain a warning that has not been heeded. On 3 October 2013, a boat carrying people fleeing across the Mediterranean capsized near the Italian island of Lampedusa. More than 360 people died, many of them Eritreans. The tragedy shocked Europe for a moment, then faded from view, while the conditions that drive people into the sea have not ended. We remember the tragedy of Lampedusa in October 2013, when hundreds of Eritreans and other African migrants died near the coast of Lampedusa. Migrants from Eritrea and other parts of Africa have been suffering since the beginning of the Libyan civil war. With the rise of far-right parties in Europe and Europe’s assistance to the Libyan and Tunisian governments—who are responsible for attacks on African migrants—nothing will change. They are allowing African migrants to suffer in order to scare them away from fleeing to Europe. We must bring them back to Eritrea, and we must stand up for those who are still in Libya. We must improve the situation in Eritrea so that people will not have to flee. End the endless military service. @User

I hate these Libyan nationalists bro
