Dear Compatriots,
This is to let you know that as friends and compatriots of the late
Professor Tekie Fessehatzion, we are planning to hold a memorial
service in the Washington, DC area to celebrate Dr. Tekie, the
public intellectual who used his mighty pen to defend Eritrea's right
to self-determination and sovereign existence, and Dr. Tekie the down-
to-earth and humble schoolmate, colleague, and friend.
The memorial is scheduled for June 12th, 2010. The place, time and
program will be announced later. Meanwhile, if you have any
suggestions, comments, or questions, feel free to write us at
tekie.memorial@gmail.com.
Thank you.

"The world and especially the US might as well accept the
reality of Eritrea. It has to be said for the umpteenth time that
Eritrea is not just a place; it's one big heart that embodies the
indestructible spirit of a brave people. Surely Eritreans are
accustomed to being betrayed but, as is often the case, they always
come through, stronger and more determined than ever to make sure
that Eritrea lives. For an Eritrean the country is more than a piece
of land: it's a sacred trust that must be passed from one generation
to the next, whole and indivisible." -- Tekie Fessehatzion, "In
Defiance, Eritrea was Born; In Defiance, it Will Live Forever," May
29, 2000.
