It is very unfortunate and distressful moment Eritreans passing through. May the Lord give us his mercy! Dear reader, I dedicate my message for the salvation of Eritrean victims.
Children, teen-age, men and women and the elderly are languishing under the merciless hands of Bedewins, the Rashida and Eritrean collaborators. Various reports have estimated over 4000 Eritreans have been killed in Sinai, many of whom their organs taken-out while alive. The suffering and daily killings of Eritreans continues unabated. The desserts of Sinai and the Mediterranean Sea continue eating Eritrean lives.
The source of all human trafficking and hostage-taking of Eritreans lies inside Eritrea and under the very eyes and proximity of the Eritrean government (for example, they are all located in Kassala and its surroundings). Very disturbing especially when we listen to victims say they have been taken hostage from inside Eritrea, such as Sawa, Guluj and Tessenei environs before destined into the Rashida and Sini Bedewins.
For a country (Eritrea) who has very close relations with The Sudan, the hunting of the criminals that are under it’s very noses, should not only be easy, but should be among the government’s responsibilities to protect its citizens. Can any Eritrean believe this is too far for Eritrean government, to reach out and hunt these criminal human-traffickers? No! It is not! But why then they are allowed to carry-on with their crimes? Yes of course this raises many questions: “Is it because they have any blessing from the government at home? Or is there any benefit that can be made from these victims? Endless questions could be asked about this.”
In such a disgraceful situation, it should have been the responsibility of the International community in general and their respective governments in particular, to ensure safe haven of all Eritreans in Diaspora. Likewise, every Eritrean and all who sympathise with the suffering of Eritreans, especially those in a position to exert their influence, should do all they could to stop the suffering of Eritrean victims.
I commend those who have already taken bold steps to lessen the suffering of Eritrean victims; their efforts will definitely warn many Eritreans from falling victims. Similar to the commendable efforts made by Meron Estifanos, Elsa Chyrum, and the Fathers and Nuns of Catholic churches in Italy and Israel, the Seminar given to Eritrean Refugees in Ethiopia by Asena.com should receive applaud. The dedication shown by these concerned individuals may encounter a variety of obstacles, be it political or other forms of hatred, but please carry-on with your good deeds as this will save many Eritrean victims and raise the awareness of many. This is the time to stop the source of all Eritrean suffering, time to inform all potential victims from falling into the baits of merciless and inhumane criminals. All Eritrean websites and radio broadcasts in Diaspora should intensify their efforts to disseminate the information on the plight of Eritrean victims; after all, we are losing our loved ones as victims, regardless of their political and social backgrounds.
My call to all Eritrean Diaspora opposition parties is that, they put a coordinated campaign or voice by establishing strong appeal-committee to inform the International community, the UN institutions as UNHCR, the European Union and the African Unity organisations, to stop this misery; Above all, they have to use their diplomatic efforts in ensuring the Sudanese government takes all necessary measures for protecting Eritrean refugees in the camps, like Shegerab and the Kassala area where Eritreans are falling prey to criminal traffickers.
Whatever reason given to those fleeing their beloved country, Eritrea, we must at least accept there is a given problem that triggers them to choose the risky journey. They are all sons and daughters of our martyrs. History is requesting us to do all we can for the betterment of our country, Eritrea, a country which we won after paying hundreds of thousand Martyrs.
Fellow Eritreans! Let’s set aside all our political differences, at least for the sake of sparing precious Eritrean lives.
