APPEAL AGAINST SUPPRESSION OF FREEDOM OF EXPESSION IN ERITREA ON THE OCCASION OF WORLD PRESS FREEDOM DAY

Fanuel — Thu, 04 May 2006 17:46:36 +0200
As proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in 1993, this day is designated as World Press Freedom Day and its aim is to remind us all - governments, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations as well as civil society – of the crucial role a free press plays in strengthening democracies and fostering development around the world. On this occasion, we, in the EMDHR, would like to bring forward the consistent suppression of freedom of expression and press in Eritrea.

Lessons Learned?

Webmaster01 — Wed, 19 Apr 2006 16:48:27 +0200
The VoEP controversy over the past few days has left sour taste in everybody’s mouth. If anyone is gloating over this unfortunate experience then they either don’t belong in the opposition camp or have little understanding of the overall challenge that we, Eritreans, face.

Their messages are the same, that the Ethiopian regime has neglected the Eritrean opposition camp and that the Ethiopian government should seriously reconsider assisting the opposition camp in vigorous manner.

The recent State Department human rights report on Eritrea doesn’t begin to express the extent of human rights violations in Eritrea. Many Eritreans and various international organizations have been writing more disturbing reports of human rights abuse in Eritrea than the State Department report.

Good Cop – Bad Cop

Webmaster01 — Tue, 04 Apr 2006 17:12:16 +0200
First, these same critics correctly point out that the vast majority of Eritreans won’t accept unfair treatment of fellow Eritreans, i.e. religious/ethnic based government. If these critics truly place their faith on the Eritrean people, there is no reason to sound the alarm at this point in time when our efforts should be focused on removing the PFDJ regime, and equally discussing the organizational challenges we face within the opposition camp.

As long as we are the future of Eritrea, we are saddled with the responsibility.

Today’s young generation of Eritrea face a more precarious future than any preceding generation. They experience widening social gaps and faces manifold challenges. It is the young who- perhaps more so than any other groups encounter the uncertainties and risks (politically, economically and socially) generated by the irresponsible leaders.
