The Push Factor: Why Eritreans are Leaving

London, September 22, 2018 @ 17.30pm – 20.00pm

Venue: Resource for London, 356 Holloway Road, London, N7 6PA

 

The conference will be looking into why so many Eritreans are leaving their country at great risk to their lives. Over the last decade, Eritrea has produced the largest number of refugees per capita in the world, year-on-year even though there is no conflict: and much more than countries that are sadly ravaged, by war such as Syria and Afghanistan. The recent developments between Eritrea and Ethiopia have raised hopes of change but the number of refugees fleeing into the neighbouring countries continues unabated. The conference will focus on what is driving so many Eritreans to flee their homeland that they love, and if the recent rapprochement with Ethiopia will have any impact on the “Push Factor”. 

Chairperson to be confirmed

 

17.30 – Welcome address

 

17.40 – 17.55pm Amal Bider – Eritrean Prisoners

 

17.55pm – 18.10pm Daniel Habte – Personal Odyssey

 

18.10pm – 18.25pm Alex Jackson – Amnesty International

 

18.25pm – 18.35pm Sham Gabriel – Europe’s Contribution to the Push Factor

 

18.35pm – 18.50pm Martin Plaut – Issues to be resolved: suggestions for a way forward

    The real factor is hopelessness, schiavitù, prison, lawlessness, unable to worship God unless dictatorship .besides. as long as Ethiopia doctor Abi and dictator isayas’s peace argument is not clear AN TRUST worthy is the main factor

    • Danilo September 20, 2018

      I am not to hide another factors too. In Eritrea even in Asmara no potable water, electric service, sanitary uses. From day one starting 1991 -now, every thing is below 00000…..

            You clearly showing you are more stupid and ignorant. Get real.

      I would say that Push and Pull factors are coordinating their activities to drain Eritrean of its inhabitants. In fact they are the same forces that had liquidated ELF nearly forty years ago.

      The ELF push factors were: 1. The allied force of EPLFS and TPLFS

      The ELF pull factors were: the same conglamarate of international forces that had hooked Eritrean into a sham federation with Ethiopia in the fifties

    Let me contribute to the upcoming conference by asking a question,why does an innocent underage child regardless of a national origin or political situation leave the comfort of of his/her home behind and venture to the unknown? I know there will be journalists, childhood psychologists even pediatricians there,if you dig in,the Eritrean society today will reveal some Pulitzer winning discovery for the world to learn from.

  • rezen September 21, 2018

    I am always in favour of being inquisitive and asking questions on any subject under the sun. To do it in a formal meeting is even much more productive and a good catalyst for others to follow suit. So, what is the question?
    The question is: Quote “…. WHY DO ERITREANS ARE LEAVING THEIR COUNTRY AT GREAT RISK TO THEIR LIVES?” Unquote. The question is very clear, unambiguous and to the point. And so, accordingly, the answer must be clear, unambiguous and to the point.
    Answer: BECAUSE, ERITREA, UNDER ISSAYAS AFEWERKI ABRAHA, HAS TURNED INTO ERTHLY HELL.
    That should be the successful END of the Meeting, as the strict agenda and clear preamble, as well as duration of the meeting [ “17:30 to 18:50 pm”] indicate it may not be possible for the Meeting to come-up with a SOLUTION to the ERITREAN PROBLEM. THE END

    • Simon G. September 21, 2018

      To the 2 among very few great people at Assenna (KT & Rezen, since the greatest poem MA is no where to find btw):
      How about if the simple answer is they have been told to evacuate?
      My dear brothers & sisters: Ahmed, Danilo, & Sol, Geneta, Kiki (& others):
      You have anything to add?

      • Danilo September 21, 2018

        Indeed forced to evaluate by all means. The real factor is clear but no one addressed it properly. However, the solution is to be discussed mainly those flee their home. Fleeing is not a solution at all.

      • Genet Original September 22, 2018

        why Eritrean people, especially the youth flee Eritrea? because DIA destroyed Eritrean culture and value. Even now, the youth is fleeing Eritrea, while outsider are going in. When you have kids grow up without a father, the value of pride and responsibility is successfully killed. The push factor is not material things, but the absence of self-worth. When a society becomes a shadow of former itself, systemic push factor have met its goal.
        Just to add something to the discussion.

    Government is the Merchant.
    Government is the retailer.
    One can not built house to live in.
    One can not work; all work is by Government.
    To get jobs with NGOS you have to be from EdagaArbi; Maihabar; Nafasit; Arberebue or ShegrinI.
    Or to shorten you must be the relative of Hagos Kisha.
    All factories are closed.

      At the rate things are going, I would be surprised if Isaias does not tell the Eritrean people who should sleep with whom. The tragedy keeps unfolding!

      Eritrea forever, death to dictatorship.

    A systematically implemented policy of Ethiopia and the Ethiopian Isaias Afewerki’s applying his grand policy of eradication of the native Eritreans. This was repeatedly said by all Ethiopian leaders including Meles Zenawi of “If the colour of the Japanese or Eritrean is not favoured by Ethiopian government, they should be deported.”end quote. Isaias has technically done that and is still doing it. The next move is to fill in the gap by Ethiopian Business men & women and labourers from the Northern Ethiopia.
    The only solution is to declare Isaias Persona Non Grata or get rid of him as soon as possible by any means preferably Legally..I can declare war on anybody, because I believe in peaceful changes.
