Attempts to Reconcile Differences in Eritrean Communities in UK
London,
18 July 2003
In an effort to reconcile
differences that exist between various Eritrean communities in United
Kingdom, EHDR-UK has taken the initiative to contend with issues that can
facilitate better communication. In order to raise community awareness,
promote healthy debate and build bridges amongst diverse communities,
EHDR-UK is making efforts to establish a dialogue with the religious
communities in London.
The letter stated the fact
that Eritrean communities are divided not only along the lines of
political allegiance but also along religious, ethnic and linguistic
lines. It also stated that such divides are reflections of a contrived
setup that is ruling our lives – one that has, unfortunately, ruled out
our civic duties and rationale.
EHDR-UK believes that civil
societies, including religious institutions, play key roles in struggling
against the inroads of human rights abuses throughout the world. Based on that conception, it
called upon the religious communities to deal with the human rights
abuses that are taking place in Eritrea with determined sincerity.
