Есть такой крупный англоязычный видеоигровой форум ResetEra — около 10 миллионов ежемесячных посетителей. И на нём запретили любые упоминания и обсуждения игры Hogwarts Legacy — недавно вышедшего высокобюджетного проекта по вселенной Гарри Поттера. Хотя проект громкий, рекламируют его много, играть в него тоже будут наверняка очень многие, и на видеоигровом форуме это должно быть одно из топовых и самых интересных для аудитории обсуждений.
А запретили потому что, как вы помните, пару лет назад Роулинг высказала в Твиттере фразу, которую посчитали оскорбительной некоторые трансгендеры. И понёсся каток кансел-культуры — стало модно и репутационно-правильно в западном обществе высказываться против Роулинг, а Роулинг, в свою очередь, систематически продолжала высказывать свою позицию открыто против транс-людей. Что характерно: молодые актёры из фильмов о Гарри Поттере, которые, по сути, с этих фильмов стартовали свою карьеру и вне этих фильмов особых заслуг не имеют, высказывались резко и однозначно в сторону канселинга. А вот актёры постарше вели себя более сдержано, хотя они как раз Роулинг обязаны куда меньшим.
В общем, этим форумом рулят настолько отбитые леваки, что они под угрозой бана полностью запретили любые упоминания игры, потому что игра по вселенной Гарри Поттера, а его написала "трансфобка". А все посты, где пользователи попытаются обсудить это решение администрации, будут удаляться. Свобода слова!
Я не собирался покупать Hogwarts Legacy, но вот сейчас даже задумался, а не поддержать ли этот проект чисто из принципа.

#Eritrea rejects #Ethiopia’s accusations as “false and fabricated” amid rising diplomatic tensions
Eritrea has dismissed recent accusations by Ethiopia as “patently false and fabricated,” rejecting claims made by Ethiopia’s Foreign Minister and describing them as part of what it called a prolonged pattern of hostility toward Asmara.
In a statement issued Monday, 09 February 2026 Eritrea’s Ministry of Information said the accusations were “astounding in tone and substance” and questioned what it described as the underlying motivations behind the claims.
The statement characterized the allegations as “yet another deplorable act in a pattern and spiral of hostile campaigns against Eritrea for more than two years now.”

#Ethiopia faces renewed strain with #Tigray and #Eritrea
Across the northern Tigray region, citizens are bearing the burden of political fractures and rising tensions. Diplomats are urging restraint amid a troop buildup along the borders with Tigray and neighboring Eritrea.
A sense of anxiety is hard to miss in Tigray. Though the 2022 Pretoria peace agreement brought an end to fighting between the Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF) and the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), many in Tigray say life today is like walking on eggshells.
The TPLF, once the dominant party in Ethiopia's ruling coalition (EPRDF) and the region's political anchor, has split into rival factions competing for influence, leaving residents unsure who truly speaks for them.
The political division has created a vacuum. Meanwhile, Ethiopia's federal government accuses Eritrea of supporting the TPLF, an accusation the TPLF and Asmara deny.

Rising tensions among #Ethiopia, #Eritrea, #Tigray Region raise fears of renewed conflict, International Crisis Group warns
Tensions between Ethiopia’s federal government, Eritrea, and the Tigray region are rising sharply, raising concerns about a possible return to large-scale conflict three years after the end of the Tigray war, the International Crisis Group warned in a new analysis. The group said the fragile peace that followed the November 2022 Pretoria agreement faces multiple stress points and warned that miscalculation could trigger renewed violence with regional consequences.
The report recalls that the war pitted the Tigray People’s Liberation Front against Ethiopian federal forces, Eritrean troops, and regional militias, leaving tens of thousands dead, hundreds of thousands displaced, and infrastructure heavily damaged. While the peace deal halted major fighting, the group said it left unresolved political and security tensions both within Tigray and across the Horn of Africa.
According to the analysis, relations among the key actors have since deteriorated. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s pursuit of sovereign sea access is viewed by Eritrea as a potential threat, while Addis Abeba has accused Tigrayan actors of coordination with Eritrean elements and local militias. Internal divisions in Tigray have also intensified, including rivalry between factions linked to Debretsion Gebremichael and those associated with former interim leader Getachew Reda, with sporadic clashes reported in disputed areas.
The group added that broader regional dynamics heighten the risks. The ongoing conflict in Sudan, competing alliances involving Egypt, and allegations of links with the Rapid Support Forces could further complicate the security landscape.
Despite rising tensions, Crisis Group noted signs of restraint, citing economic costs, military fatigue, and internal divisions as factors limiting immediate escalation. However, it warned that continued military posturing, proxy alignments, and unresolved territorial and political disputes could quickly destabilize the situation, urging urgent diplomatic engagement by African and international partners to prevent renewed conflict.

#EU urges leaders to exercise responsibility amid #Ethiopia–#Eritrea tensions
The European Union has called on Ethiopia and Eritrea to ease rising tensions through diplomacy and cooperation, warning against a return to conflict in the Horn of Africa. Speaking to journalists in Addis Ababa, Olaf Skoog, Deputy Secretary-General of the European External Action Service, said disputes should be resolved “through diplomacy in good faith,” as concerns grow over Red Sea security.
Addressing escalating rhetoric between Addis Ababa and Asmara, particularly over access to the Red Sea, Skoog urged both sides to step back from confrontational language and pursue cooperative approaches. He said the EU is ready to support de-escalation efforts and act as an “honest broker.”
On Somaliland, Skoog reaffirmed the EU’s support for Somalia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, rejecting recognition and warning against actions that could further destabilize the region.
