Eritrea: Monumental Success Of Anti-Tyranny Forces In Addis

12 May 2008 (EritreaDaily)---Reports coming from Addis Ababa heralded monumental success of the meeting of forces opposed to Afewerki’s tyrannical regime in Eritrea.

13 Eritrean political organizations including members of diaspora civic organizations from Africa, Europe, the USA and religious elders have been deliberating on how to forge a common front against the brutal tyrannical rule of Isaias Afewerki that has befallen our country Eritrea ever since it re-claimed national independence in 1991.

Finally, to the delight and relief of all anti-tyrannical Eritreans, the hitherto disputatious political organizations met the expectations: They came out with a front united under one common chapter and consensus leadership forging an umbrella organization called Eritrean Democratic Alliance (EDA).

Reportedly, the meeting established a 26-member Central Council that is headed by veteran fighters Mr. Abdella Mahmoud as the chairperson and Mr. Tewelde Gebresselase as its Secretary General.

Further, the meeting adopted pertinent resolutions:

• The border issue: The gathering called upon Eritrea and Ethiopia to abide by the decision of the Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission (EEBC) and urged both countries to bring this matter to its conclusion via peaceful means.

  
  

• Eritrea: The gathered invited Eritrea tyrant Afewerki to enter into dialogue with the EDA aimed at ending tyranny and bringing about constitutional governance of our country by peaceful means.

  
  

• Somalia: The gathered called upon the brotherly people of Somalia to end the infighting and to resolve whatever differences they might have peacefully and expressed their support for the recent Djiboutian initiative in this matter.

Finally, the gathering called for a comprehensive national conference, date to be determined yet, to redeem the nation from the damaging consequences of the long tyrannical rule and to restore national unity.
