Community Hosts Dinner for the Outgoing Eritrean Ambassador to the USlt;/span>

On Sunday 13 March 2011, the Eritrean Community in the Washington, DC metropolitan area hosted a farewell dinner for H. E. Ghirmai Ghebremariam, the outgoing Eritrean Ambassador to the US. The evening brought together Ambassdor Ghirmai’s friends and colleagues in Eritrea’s long struggle for independence, members of the National Union of Eritrean Women (NUEW), National Union of Eritrean Youth and Students (NUEYS), Peoples Front for Justice and Democracy (PFDJ), Young PFDJ, Hidri, Eritrean Musicians and Artists, and many other groups and individuals who make up the tight knit Eritrean Community.

The evening began with a moment of silence in memory of Eritrea’s fallen heroes. The well-attended emotional event at the Eritrean Civic and Community Center brought young and old, men, women and children as well as long time friends and colleagues from other US cities who wanted bid him farewell and thank him personally for his lifelong dedication and service to Eritrea. Officials and staff from the Embassy of Eritrea in Washington, DC also attended the farewell reception thrown in his honor.

A Pillar Of Eritrean PatriotismA Pillar Of Eritrean Patriotism

Dr. Tesfay Aradom

People from Eritrea, relatively speaking, a new nation in the Horn of Africa have been immigrating to the USA and other parts of the world since the late 50s and early 60s. For a very small number of privileged Eritreans the decision to immigrate was motivated by their desire to further their education or enhance their professional careers. As the war for independence intensified, the security conditions deteriorated rapidly. Inevitably, this resulted in increased human rights violations, including indiscriminate killings of innocent civilians, assassination attempts, mass incarcerations and torture by successive Ethiopian governments. This pervasive dire situation forced a significant number of the population to seek refuge in virtually every corner of the world.

The Organization of Eritrean Americans (OEA) is dismayed by a recent call made by Republican Congressman Ed Royce, urging US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in a letter to designate Eritrea a state sponsor of terrorism. A little over a year ago, on June 10, 2009, the United States House of Representatives overwhelmingly rejected an amendment introduced by Congressman Royce that had unjustly sought to designate Eritrea a state sponsor of terrorism, on a patently false allegation that claimed Eritrea supports insurgents in Somalia.

On June 12th 2010, Dr. Nathaniel Dominy of UC Santa Cruz and his colleague, first year Ph.D student, Gillian Mortiz of UC Santa Cruz, presented the findings of their research to the Eritrean community in Oakland. It must be recalled that they first announced their findings to the world at the 61st ARCE (The American Research Center in Egypt) annual meeting which was held in Oakland from April 23-25, 2010.
