PRESS RELEASE
The Washington D.C. Conference
A Conference under the theme “Time for Change: Saving Eritrea’s Future” was held in WashingtonD.C. during the period May 24-25, 2013.
This conference, organized by Eritreans who came from all over the United States and Canada, was attended by about 2000 Eritrean-Americans, Eritrean-Canadians, and friends of Eritrea. This conference was held on the sidelines of the WashingtonD.C. demonstration, which has been sufficiently covered but on which we would like to dwell briefly.
The event started with a march to the Eritrean Embassy, then to the White House, and finally to the State Department.
On Friday evening, after the demonstration, the conference was officially kicked off with a fruitful debate by the youth, which took a lead to the all-day seminar for Saturday.
Present at the conference was Dr. Alganesh Fessehaye (Ghandi), one of the relentless Eritreans who have been helping Eritrean victims of human trafficking in the Sinai.
The Conference was concluded by a presentation made by the guest of honor, Mr. Tesfay Temnewo, an ailing and selfless veteran fighter who travelled from Germany to uplift the spirit of struggle of the youth and empower them and pleaded with the opposition to be careful of externalizing our solutions to the desired change we struggle to see in our homeland.
At the end of this educational and informative conference, that was closed with a party and Eritrean cultural show, the participants unfailingly and in a single voice expressed the urgency to stand united, underlining the need to work together in the current crucial stage of the struggle against the PFDJ brutal dictatorship Some of the concluding remarks recommended that:
- The youth have to strive for more unity in leading a successful movement, rejecting differences of opinion on trivialities.
- The opposition camp should have tolerance towards one another and focus on common denominators that sustain the national struggle and crown it with the long-awaited success.
- The involvement of women should be taken as one of the basic guiding principles of the struggle, encouraged and implemented more than ever before.
- Time management should be considered key in our struggle.
Glory to our Martyrs!

I appreciate the endeavor of all participants who contributed a lot to the progress of the revolutionary movement with ultimate goal to build a new democratic Eritrea. Due respect and gratitude is also to their suggestions which I feel are moderate and few, but vital to the movement. The youth might have a problem of understanding how to lead a revolutionary movement because they lack the necessary theoretical background and experience. However, some of the old generation could share their time to advise them and to get them develop the culture of tolerance which is markedly absent in the former revolutionaries.

Poor Jack:
It seems like your are beyond distress because the days are numbered on your colt leader. The meeting was very productive. The mission is simple, we want the rule of law in Eritrea. DIA has to go. He has rutted in his position. Never mine leading a nation, he isn’t capable of leading a community.
Jack where is Ali Abdu?

are thses youth same as the youth (EYSNS)wing or different? It seems these two groups have different way of strategy to remove the dictator, and it seems there is little room for cooperation among the many youth groups.

Honestly, WHY do you have to revert to insults? Would it not be productive and progressive to just stick to the subject sand hare your ideas with others? It has been proven from time immemorial that “insults” will never bear healthy fruits.
Just a simple comment.
rezen June 10, 2013
Spelling mistakes
Please correct the words
“sand” to read >>>”and”
“hare” to read “have”
Sorry about that!

It is all good we need change as long as there is no Agame involvement in our affairs. First and foremost Hager Thalu then eritrean issues can be sorted within us no Agames no Debrezeyti.
Let’s not forget what brought all this in the first place, let’s not forget eritrean number 1 enemy what happened in Barnet.
Eritrea for eritreans by Eritreans.
