Eritrean 20th Independence Day with Defiance and Contemplation
Monday, April 25th, 2011
Eritrean Independence Day has to be a day where the voices of justice and democracy will gather in unison, wherever in the world they maybe, and send a clear and unambiguous message that the days of the authoritarian regime in Asmara.
The 20th. Eritrean Independence Day has to be a day where the voices of justice and democracy will gather in unison, wherever in the world they maybe, and send a clear and unambiguous message that the days of the authoritarian regime in Asmara have to come to an end.
The message simply put has to be: 20 Years is Enough! It is time for change.
After a national tragedy of immense proportion where almost 400 Eritreans were drowned in the Mediterranean we cannot celebrate this Independence Day in the usual way. We recommend that this day be focused on contemplation of what price Eritreans are paying under this tyranny and a day of commitment for each of us to make a solemn commitment to stand firm in solidarity with our people and struggle to bring a closure to the darkness thus has descended on Eritrea and the Eritrean people.
