YES LONG LIVE JUNE 20.
The day which remind us our homework on our shoulders: Democratic, Constitutional and Transparent country.
GOD BLESS ERITREA and ITS PEOPLE!!
On this day of 20th June, we are honored to remember our fallen martyrs who gave their most prized possession of life, life itself, so we can have a land to call our own. These young brave souls fought tooth and nail against tyranny never to cherish their hard struggle but left a thundering responsibility for the generations to come. They assured us with their blood that when its comes to your land and people, everything else is a distant second.They did not settle for anything but freedom! Freedom was achieved because of all their sacrifices. The candle I lit today is in their honor until June 20 comes around next year, it will stay Lit in my heart.

ZELEALEMAWI ZIKRI NISIWUATNA
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!
Zelalemawi Zikri Nis’watna.
you will 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!
