Eritrea-Ethiopia: Algiers Agreement 10 years later!

The following video is from 2007 -- 5 years after the Algeries Agreement.  It is astounding that nothing has changed 5 years later (10 years after the agreement was signed).


 --- Youtube description of video follows -- 
The Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi & TPLF refuses to accept the UN sponsored Hague verdict - the FINAL and BINDING Algiers agreement between Eritrea and Ethiopia. And now are in the process to invade Eritrea under a false pretext.


In this video clip: After having announced full acceptance of the verdict, and for a little while danced with joy in the streets of Addis, with their Foreign Minister Seyoum Mesfin holding a press conference to tell the world that "the decision was fair and legal -- that sanity had won over insanity, and that the rule of law had prevailed over the rule of the jungle" they called upon the international community to obligate Eritrea to accept the decision as final and binding and further called upon the commission for a demarcation process to take place on the ground without further delay.



Well, I guess it had sounded too good to be true in the first place. Because, about sixteen months later, perhaps after having taken the time to confer with their American allies on the subject of face saving devices, on September of 2003, the TPLF made a turn about, and the world was startlingly awoken with their rampageous rejection and change of heart over the commission's findings and final verdict, calling it illegal, unjust and irresponsible, to which insolence and disrespect, of course, a red flag was never raised neither by the Americans nor by the security counsel of the United Nations. Nor was there a peep heard from the guarantors and witnesses of the agreement (UN, EU, USA, African Union).

A Response to Former Ethiopian President Mulatu Teshome Wirtu's article on Al Jazeera

A Response to "To Avoid Another Conflict in the Horn of Africa, Now is the Time to Act" by Former Ethiopian President Mulatu Teshome Wirtu on Al Jazeera By: Yemane Abselom (wedi abselom) February 18, 2025 For decades, global news reporting has been dominated by Western media outlets such as the BBC (British), VOA (American), and DW (German). While these outlets claim to uphold principles of free and independent journalism, their coverage often aligns with Western political and economic agendas. When Al Jazeera emerged, there was hope that it would provide an alternative voice—one that would prioritize the interests of the Middle East and the Global South. Its early reporting on Iraq and Afghanistan, which exposed Western propaganda and war crimes, won it widespread respect. However, telling the truth comes at a cost, and it appears that those financing Al Jazeera were unwilling to continue paying that price. Over time, its editorial stance has drifted closer to that of Wester...

Are members of Anonymous an unwitting tool of the Ethiopian government's campaign against Eritrea?

The history of injustice by successive Ethiopian rulers against the people of Eritrea are too numerous to list here.  In the interest of time, allow me to focus on recent attempts by the government of Ethiopia to muzzle the people and government of Eritrea. In 1998, the government of Ethiopia lied to its people and the international community when it claimed Eritrea invaded Badme, a territory it falsely claimed as Ethiopian.  Soon after, Ethiopia declared war on Eritrea. After much blood was shed on both sides, the government of Ethiopia was forced to take the matter to an international arbitration court in The Hague.    The ruling of the court was agreed to be final and binding by both parties and was witnessed and guaranteed by the United States, the United Nations, the African Union and the European Union.   The court ruled that Badme, the flashpoint of the war, was a sovereign Eritrean territory and had been so for over 100 years. However, the gov...

A response to Professor Joel Brinkley: Eritrea has a remarkable story to tell

Professor Joel Brinkley wrote an article on the San Francisco Chronicle under the title "Eritrea, the most repressive nation on Earth", on April 29, 2012.  When Joel Brinkley, a professor of journalism at Stanford University and a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, writes on Eritrea, one hopes it would be an original piece that explores the complex issues in depth.  However, the contents of his column were nothing but a copy and paste of several reports that have misleading information on Eritrea and a complete avoidance of current and recent events that lead us to where we are today.  Professor Brinkley has chosen to ignore the elephant in the room and he expects us to do the same. It is true Eritrea won its independence in 1991, after waging a 30 years long and bitter struggle for independence.  Between 1991 and 1998, before the war with Ethiopia broke out, Eritrea under the current leadership had won many accolades, including the New York Times, ...
