Official Press Release:
The Eritrean Blue Revolutionary Front (EBRF) has established a historic lobbying presence in Washington, DC. On July 1st, 2025, the EBRF retained Moran Global Strategies (MGS), the government relations’ firm of former Congressman Jim Moran, who served as a member of Congress from 1991 to 2015, with Elias Gerasoulis, Partner at Moran Global Strategies, as EBRF’s key lobbyist in Washington, DC. The EBRF’s lobbying relationship with MGS is officially registered with the U.S. Department of Justice. Mr. Gerasoulis is an expert foreign policy strategist and one of the leading lobbyists for African clients in Washington, DC, representing several high-profile clients throughout the African continent.
Mr. Gerasoulis had previously been the primary lobbyist for an Eritrean Movement and has already had enormous success and a well-established track record in obtaining support for the Eritrean democracy movement at the highest levels in Washington, DC. We believe that this new partnership between the EBRF and Mr. Gerasoulis and MGS, can elevate the Eritrean democracy movement to significantly greater heights.
According to Mr. Gerasoulis “It is an honor to represent the EBRF in Washington, DC. The EBRF has clearly established itself as the world’s leading Eritrean democracy movement. I have been highly impressed by the EBRF leadership and am confident that these are the right representatives for the U.S. government to be working with. I look forward to establishing a close relationship between the EBRF and the U.S. government, which will significantly assist the liberation of Eritrea from the Isaias Afwerki dictatorship.”
EBRF posted on social medial to say “EBRF can’t wait to make use of Moran Global Strategies (MGS) for effective lobbying to raise support in the United States for regime change in Eritrea. The most obviously thing we want to happen is with MGS’s specialized expertise in navigating the legislative to arrange meetings and attend events with the lawmakers and discuss strategies for working together to achieve shared goals. Whatever government or party is in power; whatever administration rules we would like to ensure they fight in EBRF’s, pro-democracy Eritreans best interest. The people of Eritrea are determined to end this dictatorial regime, and we are willing to pay the price for democratic change.”

The recent announcement of the Eritrean Blue Revolutionary Front’s (EBRF) engagement with Moran Global Strategies (MGS) marks a significant milestone in the international efforts to promote democratic change in Eritrea. By establishing a formal lobbying presence in Washington, DC, the EBRF aims to leverage seasoned political advocacy and strategic relationships to influence U.S. policy and garner support for regime change in Eritrea.
A Strategic Move in Diplomatic Advocacy
The decision to partner with MGS, led by former Congressman Jim Moran and Elias Gerasoulis—one of Washington’s most experienced African lobbyists—reflects a calculated approach to diplomatic advocacy. This move recognizes that effective change in Eritrea’s political landscape requires access to policymakers, strategic messaging, and the ability to influence legislative and executive actions. MGS’s established track record, particularly in navigating complex foreign policy issues within the U.S. government, provides the EBRF with a crucial advantage in advancing its democratic agenda.
Historical and Political Context
Eritrea’s longstanding dictatorship under Isaias Afwerki has been characterized by severe human rights abuses, suppression of dissent, and economic stagnation. International efforts, including sanctions and diplomatic isolation, have had limited success in fundamentally altering the regime’s oppressive grip. The EBRF’s emphasis on regime change aligns with a broader geopolitical strategy that seeks to foster democratic governance, stability, and respect for human rights in the Horn of Africa.
The partnership’s focus on engaging U.S. lawmakers and policymakers underscores the recognition that U.S. foreign policy can be a decisive factor in shaping Eritrea’s future. Historically, U.S. engagement, when aligned with domestic advocacy and international pressure, has played a pivotal role in supporting democratic movements in various regions.
Implications for U.S.-Eritrea Relations
The social media statement by the EBRF highlights a proactive approach, emphasizing the importance of bipartisan support and strategic engagement regardless of political party or administration. This approach aims to insulate the movement from political fluctuations, ensuring continuity of support for democratic change.
However, it also raises questions about the broader geopolitical implications. U.S. foreign policy is influenced by regional stability, counter-terrorism interests, and diplomatic relationships with neighboring countries such as Ethiopia and Djibouti. The EBRF’s efforts, therefore, must align with these broader strategic considerations to maximize their impact.
Opportunities and Strategic Gains
The EBRF’s partnership with Moran Global Strategies (MGS) opens up several promising avenues for advancing democratic reform in Eritrea. Chief among these is the ability to bring Eritrea’s human rights crisis and political stagnation into sharper focus within U.S. policy circles. With access to seasoned policymakers, bipartisan networks, and strategic media connections, the EBRF is now equipped to shape narratives, build coalitions, and ensure that Eritrea’s struggle for freedom is no longer relegated to the margins of international diplomacy.
Furthermore, the collaboration with MGS creates space for aligning Eritrea’s democratic aspirations with broader U.S. foreign policy priorities—such as regional stability, counter-terrorism, and the promotion of human rights. The partnership offers opportunities to frame the Eritrean cause in terms that resonate across the political spectrum, increasing the likelihood of sustainable engagement and legislative traction.
Another key opportunity lies in coalition-building. Through MGS, the EBRF can strengthen ties with advocacy groups, think tanks, diaspora communities, and policymakers who share a commitment to democratic values and peacebuilding. These alliances will not only amplify Eritrean voices but also embed the cause within global movements for justice and governance reform.
While diplomatic sensitivities exist, these can be navigated through careful messaging and strategic dialogue that focuses on the future of Eritrea rather than past grievances. Emphasizing inclusive governance, economic development, and regional cooperation will allow the EBRF to present a vision that is both aspirational and pragmatic.
In sum, the EBRF’s bold step to engage in formal lobbying marks a transformative moment for Eritrea’s pro-democracy movement. By leveraging U.S. influence, engaging with bipartisan stakeholders, and articulating a coherent policy alternative, the movement gains not just visibility, but momentum.
Conclusion
The formalization of the EBRF’s lobbying efforts in Washington, DC, signifies a noteworthy development in the quest for democratic change in Eritrea. By partnering with experienced advocates like MGS, the movement positions itself to better navigate the complex U.S. political landscape and mobilize international support. As U.S. policymakers continue to shape foreign policy toward Eritrea, the strategic engagement of pro-democracy forces remains an essential component of fostering long-term stability and human rights in the region.
