#Eritrea's 35th Independence Anniversary will be celebrated under the fitting theme: "Our Resilience: Our Guarantee".

As we celebrate the 34th Anniversary of our hard-won Independence, let us ponder on these cogent facts: *Eritrea's legitimate and normative right to decolonization was suppressed in the 1940s on the altar of the geopolitical interests of major powers against the backdrop of the Cold War. *This ignominious decision that flouted international law and the fundamental and inalienable rights of a small nation incubated Africa's longest war of national liberation that raged for three decades to exact unparalleled and inordinate sacrifices from the Eritrean people. *Even after its hard-won independence, Eritrea was subjected to several and unrelenting subterfuges at various junctures in its post-independence trajectory simply because it did not kowtow to the diktats of various powers who could not "tolerate" its independent policies and development agendas. *Eritrea has surmounted and triumphed over all these adverse, and often, bellicose external agendas due to its signature/unparalleled resilience and cohesion. *These are Eritrea's innate attributes. *Eritrea's natural and human endowments are, otherwise, huge by any standards; its potential and prospects for rapid and sustainable economic growth and development in accordance with its independent policies and vision crystal clear. *Reason why its hard-won Independence is cherished so much and the Independence Anniversaries celebrated with such vigour and vibrancy.

President Erdoğan: Türkiye reaffirmed its commitment to the territorial integrity, sovereignty, and independence of Ukraine, our strategic partner. In this regard, I would also like to state that our support for the Crimean Tatars, who represent an exceptional historical and cultural bridge between Ukraine and Türkiye, will continue. Despite all the challenges of the war, we aim to increase our bilateral trade volume to $10 billion. With the support of Turkish entrepreneurs who have courageously continued their work without leaving the country under these difficult conditions, we aspire to contribute to Ukraine's reconstruction.

BYC Shall recently held a solemn vigil to honor our fallen comrades, who were brutally killed by State forces on their way to the Baloch Raaji Muchi. These brave individuals were part of Baloch Raji Muchi, standing against the ongoing genocide of the Baloch Nation with the dream that one day, this horror would end, and our people would live in peace in their homeland. Tragically, these beautiful souls became victims of the very genocide they sought to resist. Today, we pay homage to these courageous Baloch sons, whose sacrifices in the peaceful struggle for our nation will never be forgotten. Their blood will be our guiding light in the fight for justice for future generations. The Baloch Nation is deeply indebted to these heroes and will continue this struggle until the genocide ends and peace is restored in our homeland. Their legacy will forever inspire us to strive for a future of peace and freedom. #GwadarIsUnderSiege #WeSupportBalochRaajiMuchi #BalochNationalGathering

January yielded many positive results in our work with partners. Despite numerous challenges and obstacles, Ukraine was able to maintain international attention on our fight for independence and strengthen our country's resilience. The main argument in international communication is what one is worthy of and capable of enduring and overcoming. The world pays attention to those who are resilient and brave. I am grateful to everyone who stands with Ukraine, as well as those who fight and work for our country, our independence, and our people.

HAITIAN INDEPENDENCE DAY On this day in 1804, Haiti became the first modern-day Black republic in the world and the first nation to successfully abolish slavery through a revolution led predominantly by formerly enslaved Africans. This unprecedented victory over French slavery served as a beacon of hope and resilience for oppressed people, particularly those of African descent, signaling that liberation from the chains of slavery and colonial domination was not only possible but achievable. Haiti's revolution directly challenged the global systems of racial and economic oppression, inspiring movements for independence across the Caribbean and beyond. Despite this groundbreaking achievement, Haiti's path forward has been fraught with enduring challenges rooted in the legacies of Western imperialism. The newly independent nation was ostracized by global powers, with countries like the United States and France refusing to recognize its sovereignty for decades. In a deeply unjust and unprecedented act, Haiti was forced to pay a crippling indemnity to France to compensate for its “loss” of enslaved labor and land - a staggering financial burden that plunged the country into economic hardship, the consequences of which persist to this day. This sabotage was further compounded by subsequent interventions, exploitative trade policies, and political interference by foreign powers, all of which systematically undermined Haiti's ability to build a stable and prosperous future. Today, instead of addressing the roots of Haiti's crisis, foreign interventions - such as the involvement of nations like Kenya in serving U.S. interests through occupation - exacerbate existing challenges while failing to tackle the systemic inequalities and historical injustices that have shaped the country's reality. Yet, despite these obstacles, the spirit of resistance and resilience that defined Haiti's fight for independence remains a cornerstone of its identity. Haiti’s Independence Day stands as a powerful reminder of the courage and determination of African people in the face of oppression. It calls upon the world to honor this legacy by addressing the long-standing injustices that continue to weigh on the nation and by working toward a future where true sovereignty and self-determination can be realized.

I was at the National Mosque, Abuja, earlier today, where I joined the congregation in prayers for our fallen heroes as the nation prepares to mark the 2026 Armed Forces Remembrance Day. Our prayers shall continue to be with the families of members of our Armed Forces who paid the supreme price to make our nation safer. In these solemn moments, we remember that sacrifice with deep appreciation. Indeed, the role our Armed Forces played and continue to play in keeping our nation safe and safeguarding the territorial integrity of our dear country cannot be overemphasised. We remain eternally grateful. May their service to the nation and the sacrifices they made never be in vain. I also had the pleasure of attending the wedding fatiha of the daughter of my late friend, the Ex CG of Customs, Alhaji Ahmed Hamma Kojoli, at the same venue. I congratulate the couple and wish them a happy home. -AA

“I have been around long enough to remember as many countries in this Hall finally acceded to their independence and became member of the United Nations. The Palestinian people have stood at the doorstep for far too long — awaiting our turn, pursuing a legitimate struggle for liberation against an anachronistic ill. This injustice must end. The Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples states, and I quote, that the process of liberation is “irresistible and irreversible.” The time for Palestine’s freedom is long overdue.” State of Palestine statement at the High-level Plenary Meeting to Commemorate the 65th Anniversary of the Declaration of the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples.

🟢 Chief negotiator for Palestinian resistance, Khalil Al-Hayya: “To those who took to the streets by the hundreds and millions, to those who sailed in the liberation fleet, to all who spoke words of truth in the face of occupation—we do not forget you. And in conclusion: after two years of fighting and war, Gaza continued to make miracles. For two years it stood alone, inspiring the free people of the world. For two years Gaza defended Jerusalem and fought the enemy with unprecedented heroism and courage. Gaza has confirmed it will never belong to its enemies, and its fighters will never be broken.”

During the 600 days of full-scale Russian aggression, I presented state awards to over 60 thousand Ukrainians for fighting for Ukraine. This is truly the full-scale bravery of our nation. The one rooted in its unbeatable trait. We are making every effort to provide our warriors with more air defense systems, to better protect our cities - to preserve life, including economic activity, and to develop industry, including the defense industry. All of this contributes to Ukraine's resilience and strength. I am grateful to all of our partners who help us. All those who will be with us for the long haul. All those who understand that this is a marathon and that running a marathon requires maintaining a constant tempo and calculating forces, as well as clearly seeing victory at the end of the distance.
