ANFET- EDITORIAL ON 34TH ERITREAN INDEPENDENCE DAYMay 24, 2025
As Eritrea marks its 34th Independence Day, we honor the resilience of a people who have fought tirelessly for sovereignty, dignity, and self-determination. The sacrifices made in the pursuit of independence were not merely for territorial freedom but for the promise of a nation governed by justice, inclusivity, and constitutional democracy.
Eritrea’s sovereignty is an undeniable triumph, yet true independence is measured not only by borders but by the liberties afforded to its citizens. The struggle for civil rights and democratic governance remains an ongoing journey—one that demands a constitutional framework rooted in participatory democracy, ethical leadership, and institutional accountability. A nation’s strength is not solely in its ability to defend its sovereignty but in its commitment to protecting the freedoms of its people.
With internal and external threats constantly challenging Eritrea’s stability, today must also be a day of commitment—a call for unity, a pledge to focus on the people, and a resolve to harness their collective potential. The future must be shaped by one united political platform, a parliament in exile under a capable leadership—not fragmented voices, but a consolidated force that elevates the spirit of the nation. Through this structure, Eritreans can move beyond discord and into a meaningful political discourse, one that eliminates sectarian divisions, shallow narratives, and unproductive social media conflicts.
The path forward requires a governance model that balances national unity with individual liberties, ensuring that Eritrea’s rich cultural heritage and historical resilience translate into a future of economic modernization, political inclusivity, and structured development. The aspirations of Eritreans—both within the homeland and across the diaspora—must be reflected in a system that guarantees representation, transparency, and the rule of law.
On this Independence Day, let us reaffirm our dedication to transforming Eritrea into a democratic and modern state, where sovereignty is not just a shield against external influence but a foundation for freedom, peace, and national harmony. The struggle for independence was won; the struggle for civil liberties must now define Eritrea’s future.
Let Eritrea live sovereign to eternity—free, just, and democratic.
