What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Eritrea’s President Isaias Afwerki attended the third Russia-Africa summit in Moscow on October 28 and 29, 2026. This occurred weeks after the United States removed Eritrea’s ruling party and army from its sanctions list. The summit, held at the Grand Kremlin Palace, adopted a summit declaration, a declaration on civilian artificial intelligence cooperation, and a partnership action plan for 2027 to 2029. While Eritrea’s Ministry of Information stated a meeting was planned, the Kremlin’s published schedule did not list a meeting between Vladimir Putin and Isaias Afwerki.
