Eritreans Abroad Unite to Discuss Homeland and Global Affairs
In a remarkable show of solidarity, Eritreans around the world came together recently to participate in a series of public diplomacy activities aimed at fostering unity and awareness about national and global issues. From Melbourne, Australia, to Seattle, USA, nationals showcased their commitment to the future of Eritrea through engaging discussions and presentations.
On March 15, Eritreans in Melbourne held a vibrant seminar where they focused on the current situation back home, as well as regional and international developments affecting their homeland. The event was highlighted by an insightful presentation from Mr. Mehari Tekeste, Eritrea’s Consul General. He emphasized the critical need for strengthening organizational capacity and fostering unity among Eritreans living abroad. Mr. Tekeste’s call to action encouraged attendees to actively participate in national affairs, reinforcing the importance of contributions toward Eritrea’s development.
Meanwhile, in Seattle, a notable gathering took place as Eritreans in the Northern US convened for their annual congress, also on March 15. Here, Chargé d’Affaires at the Eritrean Embassy, Mr. Berhane Gebrehiwet, delivered an inspiring seminar titled “Work for Implementation of National Pledge.” His address focused on the achievements and challenges facing Eritrea today, urging participants to engage in ongoing national development programs. The enthusiasm was palpable, as attendees not only soaked in information but also committed financially to support the construction of a much-needed school in Akordet, demonstrating their dedication to enhancing education back home.
A similar event unfolded in Oregon, where Mr. Gebrehiwet discussed vital developments impacting Eritreans at large. Participants left with a sense of purpose, armed with knowledge about their homeland’s trajectory and how they can play a role in shaping it.
These gatherings serve not just as platforms for discussion but also as catalysts for action, illustrating the unwavering spirit of the Eritrean diaspora. By engaging in such activities, Eritreans demonstrate that distance does not diminish their commitment to their homeland’s progress.
As we reflect on these impressive initiatives, it’s clear that the heart of Eritrea beats strongly within its people, no matter where they are in the world.
