Toronto – About two weeks ago, former Ethiopian President Mulatu Teshome published an op-ed piece on Al Jazeera, claiming that the Eritrean government is working to stir conflict in the region by using one faction of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF). The former president argued that the conflict he predicted could extend far beyond the Horn of Africa and that the Eritrean government must be stopped “before it is too late.” He further asserted that war is a business for the Eritrean government.
At the time, it was widely believed, including by the Eritrean government, that Mulatu’s views represented those of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s administration. One possible confirmation of this was Eritrea’s response, in which the Minister of Information, Yemane Gebremeskel, released a statement accusing Ethiopia of “warmongering.” Notably, Eritrea typically does not respond to accusations unless they are of a serious nature.
However, the Ethiopian government has now distanced itself from the views expressed by former President Mulatu Teshome. On Friday, Ethiopia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the former president shared his personal opinions based on his experience in the region. Nebiyu Getachew, the ministry’s spokesperson, made these remarks during a press conference. “Ethiopia is a country with, fortunately, more than one former president,” the spokesperson was quoted as saying, subtly implying that Eritrea has been under the leadership of President Isaias Afwerki and that Eritreans are unfamiliar with the concept of a former president.
Eritrea has not yet responded to Ethiopia’s latest statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In the days following Mulatu’s Al Jazeera article, reports surfaced that Eritrea had recalibrated its military mobilization to include former soldiers aged 60. Additionally, a travel ban was reportedly introduced, preventing men and women under the age of 50 from leaving the country. Dawit, a Calgary-based pro-Eritrean government activist, dismissed the BBC Amharic report as fake. In an interview with Anchor Media this week, he stated, “I would rather believe Fana [Ethiopian state media] than BBC Amharic.”
The relation between the two countries further deteriorated and there are growing concerns that a war could erupt between Eritrea and Ethiopia.

Eritrea reportedly mobilized reserved troops, engaged in active recruitments of conscripts, and imposed foreign travel bans on its citizens amidst rising tension with Ethiopia. Ethiopia, on its part, allowed the Birged Nhamedu, a diaspora-based anti-Eritrean regime movement, to open its office in Addis Abeba after the group held a conference in the capital city on 25 January, 2025, taking the rising tension to the next height. The possibility of an armed conflict between Ethiopia and Eritrea is unlikely, at least for now, but we can’t rule out a minor skirmish around the border.

A bill that would deport Eritrean migrants who support their nation’s regime passes a preliminary reading in the Knesset plenum 51-0.
The bill aims to grant the interior minister the authority to expel Eritrean migrants who express support for their home country’s ruling government, since they ostensibly have no reason to be seeking asylum in Israel.

1. What is Dialogue and What are its benefits? Why is national dialogue important in transition from dictatorship to democracy?
2. How can we perform dialogue?
3. The 4 Rs
Dialogue is the platform that encourages diversity of thoughts and opinions but not suppressing them. It leads to mutual understanding of problems and opportunities and search for common understanding. In practicing dialogue, there is an agreement that one person's concepts or beliefs should not take precedence over those of others, and common agreement should not be sought at the cost of the others.

Eritrea Is the North Korea of Africa: America Must Act
By Michael Rubin
The United States Should Openly Support Regime Change in Eritrea: Africa may be the world’s second most-populous continent and a growing economic powerhouse but, for too long, the White House and State Department have treated it as an afterthought.
Often, this manifests itself in missed opportunities: Africa is the world’s second most populous continent and potentially a wealthy one. The Democratic Republic of Congo alone has $214 trillion in untapped mineral wealth. At other times, U.S. officials do not hold Africans to the same standards as they would Europeans or Asians.
