The Canadian Ambassador to #Eritrea, Mr Joshua Tabah, laid a wreath at the #Asmara War Cemetery today, 11th November, on Rememberance Day. The cemetery is the final resting place of Second World War soldiers who paid the ultimate sacrifice in #Eritrea, particularly during the Battle of Tinkulhas (ጥንቁልሓስ). It is worth remembering that the Battle of Tinkulhas, near the city of #Keren, was one of the major battles that helped determine the course of the Second World War. The war cemetery both in #Asmara and #Keren, where the WWII soldiers are buried, is maintained in immaculate condition as a mark of respect for those who paid the ultimate sacrifice while fighting under the British Army of Winston Churchill. Incidentally, Sir Richard Dimbleby, father of David Dimbleby, was the journalist who covered the fierce fighting at #Keren and the subsequent capture of the Red Sea port of #Massawa in April 1941. His audio reports brought news of the Horn of Africa theater of war to #British radio listeners @BBCRadio4 at the time. Coincidentally, that was also the month in which Haile Selassie was smuggled into Debre Markos, in #Gojjam, through #Sudan by British forces, ahead of his return to power in #AddisAbaba in May 1941. Haileselasie, never set foot to #Massawa, #Assab or any part of #Eritrea some 11 years afterwards in 4th October of 1952. THIS WAS THE FIRST DAY ANY #ETHIOPIAN LEADER SET FOOT INTO #ERITREAN SOVEREIGN STATE EVER . #11Novembre2026 #RemembranceDay2026 @UKinEthiopia @TC_AsmaraBE @UKinEritrea @BBCAfrica @AmbassadorEstif @HISTORY @Erihistory @AfricaProg @ChathamHouse @CanadianPM @SudanTribune_EN @TheVillaSomalia @SecRubio @US_SrAdvisorAF @FranceinEritrea

The paradox of cyber General J-WAR who is gunning to unseat the #Eritrean government using his amazing oratory and AI military authoring skills. Drinking beer when it suits you and being ultra religious when not.
