Ambassador Sofia Tesfamariam dismantles with facts Ambassador Dina Mufti's article
Description
Ambassador Sophia Tesfamariam dismantles with facts Ambassador Dina Mufti's article "Transcending the Ethio-Eritrean Conundrum," arguing that it misrepresents history and undermines Eritrea's sovereignty under the guise of regional integration. The author, Ambassador Sophia Tesfamariam, challenges Mufti's historical revisionism regarding Eritrea's independence and the 1998-2000 Eritrea-Ethiopia war, emphasizing Ethiopia's defiance of the Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission (EEBC) ruling. The text asserts that true regional peace requires honesty, justice, and adherence to international law, including the inviolability of borders, rather than Eritrea's capitulation to Ethiopian hegemonic ambitions. Ultimately, it portrays Eritrea's stance as principled and rooted in sovereignty, countering narratives of intransigence.
