In his article, “The Evolution of Peace Continues in East Africa,” featured in the last issue of Eritrea Profile(19 January), Simon Weldemichael discusses the process of how peace has unfolded in the Horn of Africa.
Eritreans all over the world commemorated the 20th June, National Martyrs’ Day with a renewed pledge to continue safeguarding the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the motherland against all threats and live up to the martyrs’ dreams of a developed and prosperous nation.
Martyrs’ Day is the time when all Eritreans come together to commemorate their fallen heroes -- those who gave their lives in the 30-year war to liberate their motherland and later to preserve the hard-gained independence. The determination, resilience, love and selflessness of our freedom fighters led the independence struggle against all odds to victory. Indeed, Eritrea has proven to the world that unity and love can make miracles.
Early this week, a motley network of African writers and journalists wrote an open letter to President Isaias Afwerki expressing concern on what they termed as “continued detention of Eritrean journalists and activists, migration of youth and …the isolation of Eritrea from the larger African family”.
Veteran singer and fighter Tesfalidet Kburezghi (aka Birgade), in his famous revolutionary song Amawta Bzuh Eyu Aiynetu (loosely translated as ‘death comes in various forms’), pays tribute to those who die for a noble cause.
