Yes REST IN Peace!!!!! In our memory you will all live forever!
our Martyrs were faithful to Eritrea until death.
It was because of their determination, their fierce & strong spirit that God gave them to fight off the unrighteous and evil, and their dedication to stay true and bring peace and freedom to their people that we are an independent country today!
May God bless Eritrea! Peace, harmony and prosperity be unto Eritrea!
and May our martyrs Rest in peace!

This day is a day that stands out more for Eritreans than any other day of the year. It is a powerful commemoration where we honor our fallen heroes and heroines who laid the lives in sacrifice for an Independent Eritrea. My words here are nothing but an attempt to give my thanks with all that i can give when what they have given is much more than i can envelope with a few lines. The pride I feel is trapped by a vocabulary, if defined well, dwarfs the volumes of all the literature in the world. Thankyou Deki Eritrea!
