Selam Dehai,
During our armed struggle, what the EPLF had successfully
managed to create, use and cultivate as a means of megosagosi was Bahli W’db. Bahli
in different scales was instrumental in depicting the truthfulness of our
struggle, how bitter the circumstances were and that through Guayla [music]
fighters could envision and be ready for the next engagements while Hafash was
made to be aware and in-tune [YiQane] with the armed struggle.
Bahli as soft power was
equally strong [if not stronger] when compared to other kfltat. Credit goes
to all Martyred and alive, who selflessly participated in bahlawi mnQkaH and
advanced the cause for our Freedom struggle. In the same vein, Robel Hailes’ song titled
as Guayla has represented the role of Bahli during the armed struggle and that
Eritrea’s Bahlawi celebrations are not meant for the sake of dancing, but as a
means of a pedestal for future tasks.
i
Bahli had its educational warning to the public [aslamay
kstanai wedi kola dega – atewebrhan segid], its role in unearthing the dirty
laundry of some weyTotat and seb-ekey gbri [Wedi TuKul].
Berhane Wedi Ghe, a member of the legendary Zeray Deres
Band, has produced one such song to show how some self serving entities are
hiding behind a computer screen and try to miss inform/dissuade some innocent hearts.
Berhane’s’ theme stressed on the fact that everything that we do should be secondary
to the country – Eritrea. Check it out on YouTube by entering “Kulu Dhri Hager”.
