‘OUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU’

June 20, 2003

 

Today, a great number of Eritrean families, after waiting for more than two years in anticipation of the long awaited news, are in deep sorrow because they have been notified the deaths of their beloved family members in the battlefield.  Members and supporters of Eritreans for Human and Democratic Rights - UK (EHDR-UK) are profoundly touched and on this occasion, would like to convey their deepest condolences to the families of those who heroically fell in defence of the country. 

 

In order that their deaths do not go in vain, EHDR-UK calls upon the government of Eritrea to reflect on their heroism sincerely and abstain from exploiting their deaths to its advantage. Again we call upon the government to refrain from all unconstructive and divisive activities that go against the wishes and sacrifices of our young heroes.  The Eritrean government needs to mend its ways, reconcile with its people and start respecting its wishes by starting to be its servant and not its master.

 

No more war and eternal glory to our martyrs!
