Eritrean Global Solidarity expresses its deepest sympathy and extends its sincerest condolence to the immediate families of the over 335 Eritrean that perished in the Mediterranean Sea. This is a dark day for all Eritreans. We all are under the shadow of this suffocating darkness.
It is known to the whole world that hundreds of Eritreans flee their country every day to escape the tortures, repression and suffering perpetrated by the Eritrean regime.
It is rare that a country's entire condition can be summarised in a single word. That is true of Eritrea today, however; and the word is tragic. There are many indices of this tragedy, among them Eritrea's appalling record in hunger, poverty, human rights and freedom of the press. But the most painful is that of stolen promise. Eritrea's people fought so hard and succeeded in so much that was deemed impossible, only for their achievement to be snatched away from them. Today, Eritreans both inside and outside their Horn of Africa homeland are living with the consequences, and trying to understand why their nation's history took such a cruel twist. The answer, for very many of us, lies in the political character of one man: Eritrea's president, Isaias Afewerki.
