A Painful loss for the opposition and the Eritrean people; the death of the great fighter, Omar Jabir

On Friday evening, December 19, 2014, the veteran fighter Omar Jabir passed away in Melbourne, Australia, at the age of 69. He had spent his life in the long journey for the liberation of Eritrea, first in the ranks of the Eritrean Liberation Front, and later with United Front, followed by his struggle in the opposition CAMP for justice and democratic change in Eritrea.

We ask God to have mercy on him and forgive his soul; we pray that his immediate family, and his extended Eritrean opposition family, and the Eritrean people, to be patient, and to have fortitude and strength to bear the loss.

The loss of Omar Jabir is painful and a great loss for the Eritrean opposition and the Eritrean people at this juncture of its HISTORY. It is a time that can be described as tough and at the same time delicate. Truly, the opposition CAMP will miss a great fighter in the person of Omar Jabir, at a time when the opposition ship is in need a captain in the likes of the highly skilled journalist, the seasoned politician, the balanced writer, the fighter for justice and freedom, and the convincing debater– there are few like him in the Eritrean arena.

Biography of the deceased:

 

The biography of the late Omar Jabir is so deep and expansive as a sea; only a skilled diver can dig all out. This is an attempt at summarizing his biography:

The late Omar Jabir was born in 1945 in Ali Ghidir where he studied elementary and middle schools before moving to Port Sudan to COMPLETE high school. In 1962, he enrolled at University of Khartoum after which he left for Baghdad, Iraq. He was a member of the Eritrean Liberation Movement. Throughout his student life he was in the leadership of the student movement of the Eritrean Liberation Front. He was also a member of the Revolutionary Leadership of the Eritrean Liberation Front stationed in Kassala, Sudan.

Since his days as a student, Omar Jabir was a rare Eritrean character who left a clear imprint in various fields and levels, both during the revolutionary era, in the current opposition camp, and in the Eritrea society in general. He was respected for his intellect and wide experience of struggle. Omar Jabir enjoyed a unique moral courage, he was fearless in spelling out the truth. And that gained him acceptance by every segment of the Eritrean population, Muslims and Christians alike. He was a man of principles and values for which he dedicated all his life. The late Omar Jabir adamantly withheld the principles of the Eritrean nation and called for the unity and territorial integrity of Eritrea. He was a model of a revolutionary person who never swayed from his principles.

Upon the independence of Eritrea from the Ethiopian occupation, the late Omar Jabir returned to Eritrea along with other compatriots to contribute in the process of reconstruction and development of his country. But he collided with the reality that he found there, realities that were not in his ACCOUNT were revealed to him about the Eritrean dictatorship. He chose to stand alongside his people and face the regime that betrayed the Eritrean people, and the trust of Eritrean martyrs, and Omar became among the well known personalities in the ranks of the opposition forces.

The late Omar Jabir was a prolific writer, and his series of articles are available in Eritrean websites. He has unmasked the regime’s policies and ADDRESSED the issues, concerns, and aspirations of the Eritrean people.

After the late Omar Jabir finally settled in Melbourne, Australia, in 1995, he helped establish a strong branch for the Eritrean opposition. He was also the director of the Eritrean FORUM for change until he passed away on Friday in Melbourne.

    We lost another noble man who dedicated his life
    for the country and his people . His biography shows of a man of moral value with good example of aspiration for integrity of our nation’s territory and for Eritrean unity. His dream will
    live on to fight & bring a civilized society.
    May God rest his soul in peace .

    Rest In Peace my brother. Condolences to family and friends. The best way to remember this great man is though by making sure that his dreams are turned into an Eritrean reality. If you believe that every great man/woman that passes away has done his/her share, the time they go is the time for others to do the same. Long live the memory of those who loved this people of mine and of those who lived and died to see it free and prosperous.

    Dear Assena:The first day I heard the sadden death of Uztaz Omer Jabr may his soul rest in peace I immediately went to the Assena website for information.I really felt sorry for Assena not reporting such a breaking news that touched every citizen who struggles to bring democracy in Eritrea.Ustaz Omer Jabr was not only a freedom fighter, but also a great teacher, writer and advocator of peace, democracy and rule of law to be reigned in Eritrea.Omer Jabr RIP was an icon of the veteran Eritrean fighters for liberation and human rights.Omer Jabir deserves an immediate and detailed news coverage right before his burial memorial ceremony takes place.Though it is late better than never.Let me use this opportunity to express my deep condolence to his family,relatives and close friends.

    Glory to our martyrs.

    It is very sad that he and many other veteran fighters spent the whole of their lives in the struggle to finally leave this world before they see genuinely-free Eritrea and enjoy, even for a single day, the freedom they had struggled for and spent their youth to bring. In one of the articles I had read for him, I remember our late brother, Omar Jabir, quoting one of the founders of the Eritrean armed struggle as saying, “LaGamal Ad Atta, Walla Ballu, EtKaden Terfa.” That literally means that the camel has returned home, whereas the owner of the camel remained in Diaspora. May God bless the late brother with mercy, while expressing my condolences to his loved ones, telling them that no words can help ease the pain and loss they are feeling right now. As hard as it seems, we hope that they will get through this difficult time and emerge stronger. REST IN PEACE.
