Happy Birth Day Eritrea – remember the heroism of
our martyrs After 30 years of armed struggle
for independence, the modern state of Eritrea was born and more importantly
for the first time in modern African history a country in Africa was able to
liberate itself. After a long and committed political and armed struggle, the
Eritrean people were able to defeat the enemy and claim our nationhood in
1991. It is a day of our self-importance
and a day of paying tribute to our fallen heroes. It indeed should be
a day of cheerfulness, and will
remains to be a day of our pride. On May 24, 1991, Africa saw the first liberation of an
African country in the 20th Century. Eritrean
people have much reason to celebrate MAY 24, for the heroism of fallen
heroes, and unity of our people, and the incredible development achievements
made. We should continue to build our unity and our nation. Our nation
building process does not only guarantee Eritrea's potential for full
economic expansion and higher standard of living, but it also assurance our
sovereignty. September 1, 1961 signifies
the day when the first Eritrean hero fired the first bullet to oppose the occupation,
and May 24, 1991 re-claims the nation
independence, which has been denied for decade. Looking to the many trials we have faced as a country, these
times are as challenging as ever and we must take time to celebrate May 24, and
more importantly is how much we guard our achievements. As a people, this independence day held so
deep in our hearts and we must be preparing for any eventuality. Victory is
ours as we stick to our principles and values and the glory of our martyrs
will never diminish. We would not have the freedom that we hold so very dear
to us, without the courage and bravery of those who gave their life. Congratulations
to all of us, this day have a special meaning for the fallen heroes, and
happy birthday Eritrea! Dr. Ghirmai T Kefela, Ph.D. (Int. Business)
