About Us:
The Agazian Media Foundation is a dedicated satellite television and radio media organisation that was set up to break the Eritrean dictator media and narrative monopoly in order to bring peaceful change in Eritrea through 24/7 satellite tv/radio that broadcasts national and civilisational dignity, prosperity, democracy and justice.
According to the Press Freedom index of 2025, Eritrea is the state with the least media freedom in the world behind North Korea. Eritrea is the only country in the world with no internet and independent medias. According to Freedom House, Eritrea and North Korea are the number one countries with no freedom in the world. The Eritrean dictator is a non-Muslim, anti-American and Anti-Israel in the Red Sea.
We also advocate for peaceful change and rapid economic development through urbanization, industrialization, digitalization, and environmental initiatives such as combating desertification and promoting reforestation.
The Tigrigna people are the only black nation with deep historical roots in the Judeo-Christian civilization, practicing a unique blend of Judaism and Christianity. Predominantly residing in Eritrea and the Tigray region of Ethiopia, they were historically strategic allies of the Roman and Portuguese Empires.
Eritrea is located in the southern Red Sea, near Yemen, approximately 800 miles from Israel. It is one of the only non-Muslim, non-Arab majority states in the region. Despite lacking internal or external threats, Eritrea remains one of the poorest and most isolated countries, often referred to as the "North Korea of Africa." Many human rights organizations cite its government as one of the most oppressive regimes globally, particularly in terms of press freedom and human rights violations.
To support our mission, we are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Public Relations Specialist to join our startup team to promote our effort to raise funds through media outreach,community outreach help us to deliver strategic messaging.
