In this timely episode of Setit Media, we explore a delicate but growing phenomenon: the subtle engagement between actors in Eritrea and the Tigray region of Ethiopia. While not officially sanctioned, these people-to-people connections and online campaigns have triggered an outsized reaction from the Ethiopian federal government.
Why is informal border interaction being labeled a threat? What explains the fear that old alliances may be resurfacing under new names? And why is the federal center in Addis Ababa rattled by what many view as a local or cultural exchange?
This episode unpacks the geopolitical ripples, national security implications, and the historical memory surrounding Tigray–Tigrinya dynamics — all from a principled, Eritrea-centered lens.
We ask:
• Is this a genuine path to healing or a political illusion?
• What are the risks of aligning with a region historically hostile to Eritrean sovereignty?
• And how can Eritrea engage wisely, without compromising unity or strategic clarity?
A must-watch conversation for anyone interested in the fragile balance of power in the Horn of Africa.
