“How Old is Our Youngest Leading Official?” (Abdalla Al-Maqlush, the Saudi Al-Watan Newspaper, January 2011)

The quotation above was the title of an Arabic article I had the opportunity to read from the Saudi newspaper, Al-Watan, in January 2011.

Fellow Eritreans we have a big task ahead of us and it is mostly the duty of us who live in the Diaspora to carry this burden.
