Los Angeles, CA. Eritrean Solidarity, a global network of Eritrean civil society groups, is calling on all Eritreans and friends of Eritrea to come join us for a festive demonstration of Eritrean pride and culture against oppression in Washington, DC on Monday, October 30th, 2006. The history of Eritrea is of a continual struggle by people demanding their civil liberties, political rights and self-determination against colonialist and oppressors who ruled by force, terror and fear. Albeit homegrown, the regime of Isaias Afwerki is only the latest in a long list of tyrants who have attempted to expand their power monopoly by stamping out the very essence of Eritreanism: pride in a culture that celebrates fairness and justice. Announcement ( Sept. 19, 06 # 1) Come join us to reaffirm Eritrean culture: Come join us in your Eritrean attire that celebrates your religious, ethnic and national pride; Come join us with your drums, your embelta, your walta, your dignified traditional attires, Come join us with Eritrean reconciliation in your heart, and Eritrean resolve against injustice in your veins; Come join us and refuse to watch silently when basic freedoms of our people are denied and indefinitely postponed; Come join us and be a voice for the voiceless. A voice for - the prisoners of conscience, - the disappeared - those languishing in refugee camps - the elderly - the youth - those serving in endless campaigns of wars This is not an occasion for sadness but defiance and a great opportunity to show our Solidarity, in full force, with the voices of justice and democracy. We will provide regular updates on the campaign. Organizers Eritrean Anti Tyranny Global Solidarity – P. O.
