ERITREA:- ዓበይቲ ኣጀንዳታት ናይዚ ሰሙን

Salam and Welcome to Setit Media. In this live broadcast, we break down two major stories shaping Eritrea's regional standing this week.

First, Saudi Arabia has named Eritrea as a founding member of its new Multinational Maritime Defence Coalition protecting the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb Strait, with a commander now appointed and a planning meeting set for August 12–13. We analyze what this means for Eritrea's sovereignty, its Port of Assab, and whether this is genuine strategic recognition or a risk of being pulled into Gulf rivalries.

Second, US Senior Adviser Massad Boulos publicly denied reports of a "secret" US-Eritrea deal, following his earlier meetings with Eritrea's Foreign Minister in Cairo. We unpack the timing of this denial against the backdrop of unverified claims about Eritrean involvement in the Tigray-Ethiopia escalation.

We take an Eritrea-first look at both stories — asking hard, balanced questions and closing with the latest regional headlines connected to Eritrea.
