Dictatorships both of internal and external origin have proved that they cannot withstand the concerted defiance of the people. The problems in Eritrea are today deep. The dictator in Eritrea deliberately destroying the social, political, economic and even religious institutions of the society,  as a result the people are weak and lacks self-confidence and are incapable to resist inside Eritrea. The Eritrean people at home are often frightened to share their hatred of the dictatorship and explain their hunger for freedom even with their families. Our people at home are terrified and cannot express their opinion on their lives under oppression. Thanks to the protests and demonstrations conducted by the Eritrean civic and political organizations in the countries of their residences that the Eritrean dictator was exposed all over the world, however the past acts of resistance were not sufficient to overcome the people’s fears and involve many to civil disobedience which is the prerequisite to destroy the dictatorship.

 

The Brussels Rally is the best method facing the Eritrean dictator exposing the brutality nature of the Eritrean dictator to the European Community. The European Union supports the regime in Eritrea who continues oppressing its people by using brutal methods of killing, torture and disappearance. The Brussel Rally will remind the leaders of the union that negligence will be responsible for the elongation of the Eritrean people’s suffering under the brutal regime.

 

We know that the power of dictatorships exist primarily because of internal power. The dictator in Eritrea owns all the national wealth and the military is in its hand while the population is kept weak that it couldn’t resist.


 Although dictatorships may benefit from or be somewhat weakened by International actions, for example the support of the  European Union with the Eritrean dictator helps the dictator to continue its oppression. The goal of the Brussel Rally is to urge the leaders of the union to stop this support and instead support the Eritrean people. The Rally will demand that EU should put economic boycotts, embargoes, break of diplomatic relations and ban entry visas to the envoys of the Eritrean dictator.

 

The Eritrean –European Network for democratic change in cooperation with the Eritrean Democratic Alliance is the hope and inspiration of the Eritrean people at home and the rally that will be conducted on 18 September 2008 is a symbol of unity, defending the fundamental rights of the Eritrean people.

 

The Rally reminds us that it is time to rely upon our own determination, help ourselves by standing together and defeat the tyranny in Eritrea. I welcome and wish success to the Brussels Rally.
