Central and North Africa and Arabia By Adolf Stieler, Heinrich Karl Wilhelm Berghaus Published by Justus Perthes Gotha, 1836 Inset: Ethiopia
Central and North Africa and Arabia By Adolf Stieler, Heinrich Karl Wilhelm Berghaus Published by Justus Perthes Gotha, 1836 The map is a finely detailed, hand-colored engraving, composed of two main sheets joined to depict a broad swath of Central and North Africa alongside the Arabian Peninsula. The mapping is rigorous, with carefully delineated borders, rivers, mountain ranges, and major settlements. Major regions such as the Sahara Desert, Nile River Valley, Ethiopian Highlands, and the Arabian Peninsula are prominently featured. In the lower right, there is an inset labeled "Habesch," which focuses on Ethiopia and Eritrea. This inset map details the complex topography and political divisions within the region, highlighting its significance and the European interest in the area during the 19th century.

Let us not mince our words and call a Spade a Spade! 1. The Potemkin Party has been obsessed/immersed in unparalleled military expenditure spree in the last three years. 2. In the last three quarters of 2026 alone, the regime has received 365 UAE Cargo/military deliveries for use in its multiple domestic conflicts and concomitant acts/designs of regional destablization. 3. At the same time, the regime has received - and these are conservative estimates - over 30 billion US Dollars in cumulative external financial assistance in the last eight years from several multilateral and bilateral donors. 4. And yet, almost 21.4 million people all over the country remain in dire conditions whose survival depends on humanitarian assistance. In a nutshell, the priorities of this callous regime are crystal clear; reckless wars of delusional "grandeur" in lieu of the welfare of the majority of its people and enduring regional peace and stability.

#Eritrea did not "officially" invade #Ethiopia. Only an Eritrean official could officially declare war. They would issue an official declaration and most likely speak publicly as an official. This headline is fraudulent and sensational. hornreview.org/2026/10/07/er…
