Press Release
Eritrean Global Solidarity (EGS) for Human Right, Justice and Democracy will be conducting a one day Symposium followed by a panel discussion on March 8, 2014 in metro Washington DC on the general theme of: Exploring Possible Scenarios for Eritrean Transition to Democracy.
The Symposium deliberations will be on the following critical issues:

b) Framing the political and judicial structure of the transition period;
c) The Role of Eritrean Societies and all stakeholders throughout the stages of the transition periods,
d) The Mechanics of the government and good neighborliness post transition period,

If the symposium is by invitation only, why the hell are posting it in here then.

Dear brother/sister dd,
The reason can be to let the people know discussion is going on on matters which concern them, it is matter of transparency, I guess. You can’t accommodate everyone at every discussion due to number of reasons. We shouldn’t see it negatively.

Name three reasons, why any authentic group for democracy would want to limit access to genuine Erittreans? FYI, the lack of space is not a good reason. They are not telling people, they can send their questions via email. So, where is the transparency? You know, PFDJ also hold meeting and conferences just like that and they tell the world they are holding meeting and sympsiums. Are we going to call that transparency too?

dd, I think you are right.
The reason you get -4 Rating may be (and I am just assuming)because of the words you use: “the hell” !!! Smile and keep on going.

Nice name but who is EGS? Who is invited and how did they choose the participants?
I think this announcement is not very transparent.
If it is an issue which is important for the public, it should be more informative.

I am with you selamawit2. It is not only “not very transparent” as you said, it is very misleading.
What is the criteria to participate? I think, I am hearing for the first time from an Eritrean group, who can’t make a meeting open for everyone due to not having enough space. Really? Where do they live? I am tired of nonstop empty press-releases and conferences without any measurable outcomes. What a shame, for those people who are saying, it is about transparency for telling us the sympsium is by inivitation only. What is the transparency here? the sympsium being conducted by invitation only or the fact that they are telling everyone it is not open for anyone?

The immediate problem now is how to get rid of PFDJ, not wasting on mundane meetings. Action speaks more than wards. Unless you talk how to get rid of the dictatorship first, it is fruitless to conduct meeting after meeting on what to do after the fall of the dictator. Almost every body knows what type of government is needed in Eritrea. Very simple A REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT. What does it mean? People choose their own LEADERS, Legislators, and intern those who were chosen appoint the JUDGES to interpret the laws.
