We Eritreans must remain the guardians of our Martyrs’ deeds.
As June 20th, 2015 approaches us we are also being attacked as a
people. It happens every time Eritrea celebrates or mourns its
existence as a nation. This is a message that most Eritreans are fully
aware of, as we have been trained to remain vigilant. Our forefathers
have passed the strong psyche on to our past generation who then has
passed it on to our current generation and it is our duty and
responsibility to pass it on to the next generation. We must
understand that we are a few but strong people whose martyrs gave up
their lives so that we can have a truly independent nation. By all
means we must always be the Guardians of our martyrs deeds. We must
always remain proud souls that refuse to be humiliated. Being an
ERITREAN is and will always be a sacred sanctuary.
It is with this in mind that we must also understand that the attacks
and the lies that keep coming from those who have no idea what we went
through as a nation. It should not bother us, but should make us
stronger and allows us to challenge the fictions with passion and the
truth on our side. It is what our martyrs would have loved to see if
they were alive. They sacrificed their lives for those of us who are
alive to see a free and self-reliant nation known as ERITREA!
Starting from the leader of Eritrea who exemplifies what it means to
be the true guardian of our martyrs deeds, the attack on our people as
a whole and our nation is to weaken what has already been “AGAINST ALL
ODDS” accomplished. It can be very hard to understand why a majority
of ERITREANS support their government and are always deeply connected
to their homeland because it looks un-realistic for the outside world.
The true reason is not motivated by greed or like in most countries
around the world by opportunities but rather by a sense of respect and
belief that emanates from our martyrs deeds. The critics will always
say that most Eritreans that support the government have a motivation
and some kind of advantage but in reality the single most rewarding
prize is a FREE ERITREA that is not subjugated and controls her own
destiny. The Eritrean Martyrs gave up life and the least a true
ERITREAN can do is give up your time and effort to defend and stand by
for the sake of your identity. Anyone who attempts to derail or use
negatives as a way to justify their hate for ERITREA is betraying the
trust and deed of our martyrs.
On June 20th, each year let us remember them when our hopes and our
heartbeats are on the flag that has united our entire country from the
coast of Red Sea to the border of Sudan and from Southern Eritrea to
the Northern Eritrea along with the entire diaspora around the Globe.
We must always keep our spirits defiant and our history must remain
glorious, so that our martyrs' souls will always remain the guardian
of our nation.
Zelalemawi Zikri swatna.
