Training for Pre‑School Teachers Strengthens Early Learning

A coordinated training program for pre‑school educators is underway across several regions, focused on improving classroom practice and early literacy. Facilitators emphasized a child‑centered approach, practical lesson planning, and community involvement.

Participants reported gaining confidence in using locally available materials for play‑based learning, and in creating inclusive classrooms where all learners can participate. Schools will also receive a simple starter kit to support reading corners and activity stations.

The next phase will focus on classroom observation and peer mentoring so teachers can continue to improve after the workshop. Families and local groups were invited to closing sessions to reinforce foundational skills at home through reading circles and weekend activities.

“Early learning is a community investment—when families and educators work together, every child benefits.”

1,700+ educators completed practical training

Emphasis on play‑based, inclusive classrooms

Ethiopia’s Claims to the Red Sea

During a recent interview in September, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed stated that the Red Sea belonged to Ethiopia 30 years and ago, and that it would be theirs again.

Eritrea and the Architecture of Post-War Order

Recently, The Economist published an article called “Africa’s most secretive dictatorship faces an existential crisis.” In this article, the author, Economist correspondent Tom Gardner, pins any and all issues Eritrea faces on its leader, Isaias Afewerki, and his personal vendettas with Ethiopian leadership. The problem with this argument, however, is that it is selectively historical – it picks and chooses which historical events to include to frame Eritrea’s current predicament; Gardner fails to situate Eritrea’s position in the geopolitical milieu that have produced its diplomatic issues. Below, I outline the necessary historical information to truly understand the problems that plague the Horn of Africa and threaten national Eritrean sovereignty, specifically.
