Organized in Cyber Space,Facebook, there is a growing emergence of Eritrean youth resistance against Eritrea tyrant Isias Afewarki's tyrannical grip on our country.

The facebook group that goes by the acronym EYSC for Eritrean Youth Solidarity for Change has now registered over 6,000 members and counting in a very short span of time. Motivated by this, Eritrean youth resisting tyranny in Eritrea are getting organized locally all over the world.

One such group is that of the musically talented Eritrean youth in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. This youth group is now trying to communicate their resistance against tyranny to their peers all over the world best they know: Via contemporary and very appealing music-hip hop and are succeeding! Towards that effect, the EYSC in Cincinnati released a song entitled 'Nikales Bblhi or 'Let's struggle smart' over the weekend that resonated with the rest of their peers very well and has become a hit already. In response, the group is working on making this song available on CD and in video via Youtube very soon. The release is first of its kind, very timely and there is no doubt in my mind it will motivate, galvanize, and fire up the Eritrean youth to rise up and to resist tyranny in Eritrea.

Way to go EYSC-Cincinnati ! We are very proud of you! Great job, well done, keep it up!

Thanks to Amanuel, member of the EYSC group, for sharing this indeed motivational and inspiring song with us so promptly. Pass the word folks. Yes 'Alewuna, Alewana'! Listen below:
