In his extensive and detailed youth-related replies, the President said that
clearly defining one's vision and objective, as well as striving to this end
constitute some of the major values. In this regard, he stressed the need
for every citizen to make due contribution in endeavors to nurture a
hard-working, educated and skilled youths. President Isaias further
underscored that it is imperative to create ample opportunities for the
youth who are the backbone of the nation through the coordination of the
people and the Government.
As regards the role of the National Service Program and the contribution of
the development force in the nation-building process, he indicated that the
country is presently standing on reliable ground through resolutely meeting
all challenges. Noting that the major programs are the sum total of the
accomplishment of small-scale activities, the President lauded the youth for
their utmost contribution and dynamic endeavors.
"Those who were shedding crocodile tears claiming that Sawa is irrelevant
should now ask themselves how the nation would have fared short of that.
Challenges do not unfold on our choice, but are rather externally imposed.
However, it is worth mentioning that such challenges have prompted us to put
up hard work and become creative," President Isaias declared. In this
connection, he explained that irrespective of any nature of hostility, one
can never flinch from the cherished path as long as there prevails a clear
and lofty popular objective. Citing the experience of the armed struggle and
the resistance of the Eritrean people, he elaborated that on the contrary,
such dynamic forum would enable one to acquire valuable lesson, on top of
becoming ever more creative.
Replying to a question why Sawa always becomes the target of enemy quarters,
the President pointed out that this is simply because it is the center in
which those who build a nation are nurtured there. Hence, it is also not
surprising to witness that those quarters which do not wish to see a
developed Eritrea resorting to such wicked ploys, for it is natural for the
bankrupt to entertain wicked dreams, he added.
Moreover, in a profound analysis he gave regarding cultural invasion and the
campaign of the special interest groups, President Isaias underlined that
such a group constitute only a very few section of society and employ
various ploys to promote their vested interests through exploiting the sweat
and resources of the majority. Stating that such a group engage in
substantial investment to deliberately expose the youth to the wild dream of
hollow expectations, President Isaias expressed strong conviction that
Eritrean youths would rebuff these acts as they are well aware of the wicked
intention.
