#Ethiopia -#Eritrea: Community leaders, elders, women and the youth from #Ethiopia's #Zalambessa city & its environs have crossed to #Senafe, a market city in the southern #Eritrea, as part of people-to-people diplomacy following recent rapprochement between the two countries.
Update: Watch a joyous reunion as the communities from #Zalamessa and #Senafe met. The 1998 - 2000 border war between #Eritrea & #Ethiopia resulted in border closure and heavy militarization on both sides. Both countries are now normalizing their relations. Vid. Senait Mebrahtu

Thread: Updates and discussion on you know what region. #Ethiopia ...
With the downfall of former President Abdi Illey, numerous exiled members of the #Somali activism community are returning home to participate in the transition period debates and discussion. Crucial times these are.
Most have heard of Jawar's homecoming, but this man, Mustafa Omer, a renowned outspoken Somali democracy activist has returned to #Ethiopia after 11 years. He paid a steep price, the Abdi regime murdered his brother amd badly tortured his father in 2016 to silence him.

This is my son and our first guest. J was 2 when he moved in- now, at nearly 5, he feels he has a big, Syrian brother. The love between the two of them is wonderful.
And this is my boy with one of our current guests, Y. Y and his wife and baby girl are from #Eritrea, so we have learned about East African politics, food, music and dancing.
Guests at @RefugeesAtHome come from 55 different countries- well, 54 and stateless. People often think of young, Muslim males from the Middle East; but people can seek safety from anywhere. They just need a reasonable fear of persecution, for a defined reason (race, sex etc)
