As many of you know, the ‘Time for Change: Saving Eritrea’s Future’ event organizing committee of N.A. [also known as ‘ኮሚቴ ህዝባዊ ማዕበል ንድሕነት ሃገር ሰሜን አሜሪካ’] was formed in 2013.

This committee, which adopted organizing and coordinating different events for united action against the PFDJ regime as its main goal, was created by all justice seeking Eritreans in the United States of America and Canada.

Hence, last May 24-25, 2013 –  Eritreans in North America have shown their solidarity by convening in Washington, D.C. to celebrate our independence and protest the dictatorship back home which is the most brutal regime in the world – the PFDJ.

This date, which had achieved a milestone in the history of the Eritrean diaspora, was the date that showed the thirst among the diaspora community for unity and a united action against the repressive regime in Asmara.

After the May 24-25, 2013, this committee has been serving as a transitional coordinating team. And now it is set to transition its roles to a new committee. The committee acknowledges there has been a delay in this process and this is due to requests for extra time by some cities and states in order to reorganize themselves and elect their representatives. The committee would like to underline that it is very important that all states send in their representatives because all vital decisions pertaining to the upcoming major event coordination is going to be made by the newly elected organizing committee. And this is why we call upon all people to take this very seriously and devote their valuable time and resources and make sure they are well represented.

Accordingly, the transitional committee is tasked to call upon the representatives of the cities within their respective regions and hold a teleconference before December 12, 2013 that would create a medium for the participants to select volunteers who will be representing them in the next coordinating team.
