Eritreans in North America Urge the UN to Take Action on PFDJ, Africa’s Most Abusive Regime
Written by EPDP information office
At a time when the excessive human rights abuses of the dictatorial regime in Eritrea are being further exposed through UN and other reports, Eritreans in North America did not only hold a massive demonstration in Washington DC but also sent a petition to the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon urging him to use his good offices “to help set in motion a thorough investigation on the cause that is driving refugees” from their homeland.
It is to be recalled that the UN Commission of Inquiry submitted its written report on Eritrea and that the Human Rights Council is already considering approval of the document as it is. The report notes that the Eritrean regime has been engaged in abuses that can be considered as “crimes against humanity”. The petition by Eritreans in North America, therefore, asks the UN Secretary General the the UN Security Council to take approporiate measures on the extremely abusive regime in Africa.
Below is the full text of the petition. Good reading.
…….
June 19, 2015
His Excellency Mr. Ban Ki-moon
United Nations Secretary-General
United Nations Headquarters
New York, N.Y.
Dear Mr. Secretary-General:
We preface our letter with our-heart-felt good wishes to you in all the very important duties you are performing as a world leader. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and all those who collaborate with you in all the noble efforts.
We are writing you as a matter of great urgency, on behalf of hundreds of thousands of our unfortunate Eritrean compatriots. We note with great appreciation the expression of sympathy and grave concern that you voiced following the tragic drowning of hundreds of Eritreans near the Island of Lampedusa some twenty months ago. Indeed, we believe that your voice and that of His Holiness Pope Francis helped put such tragedy and its causes on national and international agendas, especially in Europe, leading to a great deal of debate and soul-searching.
While we welcome these promising developments, unfortunately, we believe that they stopped short of what needs to be done in order to find a lasting solution to such tragedies and the causes that trigger them. The flow of refugees continues unabated and more people have drowned in the Mediterranean Sea, despite the efforts at naval intervention to save lives. We strongly believe that the international community and Europe in particular, needs to translate the expressions of good will voiced in the wake of the Lampedusa tragedy to more concrete actions. Such actions should begin by addressing the causes of the massive migration of refugees from Africa and the Middle East.
In that spirit, and focusing on the Eritrean refugees, we urge you to bring the considerable moral weight carried by your office to bear on the specific tragedy that has befallen on our unfortunate nation—Eritrea. The cause of the massive exodus of Eritreans is the wrong policy and dangerous politics pursued by the government of Mr. Isaias Afwerki. Of all the wrong policies of the government that have devastated a once promising nation, the most egregious is the so called National Service, which has pinned down hundreds of thousands of Eritrean youth in what can only be described as forced servitude. Eritrean youth, the cream of the nation, have wasted, and are wasting, their lives in a pointless and unending service. Thousands have chosen to escape from this servitude at huge risk to their lives, including those who perished in the Mediterranean Sea. Though this servitude is the worst policy pursued by the government, we need to understand the overall context of the nature of the state under which it is practiced.
People who expressed any criticism against the government have been severely punished; many have died in detention. It is generally known that a once promising country has been turned into a police state and the fervent hopes and aspirations of a whole generation of Eritreans have been dashed on the rock of wrong polices and dangerous politics of a government led by an unelected President. The recent U N Commission of Inquiry on Human Rights in Eritrea found “that systematic, widespread and gross human rights violations have been and are being committed under the authority of the Government. Some of these violations may constitute crimes against humanity.”
In the prevailing conditions of lawlessness families of thousands of prisoners do not know where their loved ones are incarcerated, do not know if they are dead or alive, do not have the right to visit them or for doctors and lawyers to see them. The young are particularly vulnerable and many prefer risking death remaining in conditions of endless servitude wasting their precious lives. This is the condition that is forcing thousands to flee their country in search of refuge abroad. Unless and until this condition is properly and quickly addressed, the “refugee problem” will continue with more Lampedusa-like incidents. We are, therefore, appealing to you, Mr. Secretary-General, to use your good offices to help set in motion a thorough investigation on the cause that is driving refugees from their beloved homeland. Your leadership, along with that of H.H. Pope Francis, and with the support of leaders of the European Union, African Union, and individual governments, is needed to bring this tragedy to an end. We implore you to take speedy steps toward the accomplishment of this objective.
On June 19, 2015, Eritreans and friends of Eritrea are demonstrating in Washington,
D. C., in support of the people in Eritrea and against the dictatorship in Eritrea.

Migrant crisis: from Eritrea across Europe by rail
Written by Paraic O'BrienAs Europe's leaders argue over the migrant crisis in the Mediterranean, Paraic O'Brien travels with a family of Eritreans as it makes its way from Italy to Germany, encountering chaos on the way.
At 11 o'clock every night, two coaches on the Bolzano-bound train out of Rome are full of immigrants. They do not have travel documents, just train tickets.
The increasing numbers of immigrants arriving in Italy by boat was discussed by David Cameron and the Italian prime minister this week. As they were talking, immigrants were making their way to the Italian city of Bolzano.
The tale they told was a familiar one: held by Libyan people traffickers until their families paid up.
When they arrived at Bolzano on the Austrian border, the Italian police initially tried to stop them from travelling on to the southern German city of Munich, but they made it there eventually.
It was the moment one family had been waiting for. After leaving Eritrea as asylum seekers, they crossed the Sahara, encountering people traffickers in Libya before taking a boat across the Mediterranean.
When the immigrants arrived in Munich, the larger group was placed in a holding pen by the German police before being taken to a detention centre. But for the family, with an asylum claim, it was a different story. Another long journey beckoned - to Holland.

EPDP Editorial
The nation dedicates the month of June every year to remember and honor those who gave their lives so that Eritrean people could stand tall and determine their own destiny; to honor those who courageously stood and gave their lives so that the Eritrean independence bell could ring; to pay tribute to those brave souls who refused to surrender in the battlegrounds so that justice and freedom could reign in Eritrea, and to those all who died in the service of their people.
We know every Eritrean community and family suffered during the 30-year war of independence. June is designated to remember and visit the graves of our freedom fighters whose bodies lie almost in every town, creek, mountain, and hamlet across the land of Eritrea. June is a somber and joyless day for Eritrean people. It is also a sacred month that Eritreans honor it with prayers and somber songs and reflections for their fallen heroes.
These are Eritrea’s best sons and daughters; Eritrea’s fathers and mothers; Eritrea’s finest farmers, workers, students, thinkers, poets, writers …etc. They hail from various Eritrea’s ethnic and social groups brought together by the love of their country. They are Eritreans who shared a common vision and became faithful to the cause of their country, and went on a march to give their lives. They died with unparallel courage and bravery - some of them died being dragged in the street of Eritrea’s towns and others strangled to death by electrical wires; others died in colonial prisons, and hundreds and thousands of others perished in the battlegrounds with their faces and heads bleeding and with their bodies mutilated, and more others died while rescuing their fellow wounded freedom fighters. These are the stories of Eritrean heroes who galvanized the independence struggle by their martyrdom.
But as citizens, is it enough to mouth patriotism and nationalism in memory of those hundreds and thousands heroes who left to the Eritrea’s field and never came home alive? A serious contemplation is needed; and that is have we kept the promises that our heroes died for? Is it enough to give a speech and lay a wreath on the graves of our freedom fighters? Is it enough to fly Eritrean flag at a half mast or perform parades in the nation’s capital? Is it enough to pay a heartfelt tribute and gratitude to our martyrs? No, it is not.
The vision and the unparallel devotion of our fallen heroes have been betrayed to the core. What we have is a tyrannical system in our country. Our freedom fighters did not die to establish a dictatorship in Eritrea; they did not die to have warmongering elite in Eritrea; they did not die to have belligerent, corrupt power elite, and an absolute militarized authority in Eritrea that denies the basic freedom and justice. No, they died for freedom and justice of Eritrean people.
We owe our martyrs justice and freedom in Eritrea. We owe them peace and democracy in Eritrea. The flame of liberty and freedom is burning in their graves. We must realize it. As we commemorate our heroes and martyrs in this month of June, let us contemplate how to eradicate and remove tyranny from Eritrea. After all, this is the land of the greatest heroes and heroines.
Dispatches: On World Refugee Day, Truth About Eritrea’s ‘Economic Migrants’

The United Nations refugee agency has just announced that more people are on the move – driven from their homes by conflict and human rights abuses – than at any other time in history: 59.5 million to be precise. Yet governments all over the globe contend that most of these people, who risk their lives on the high seas or trek for weeks or months across deserts with often abusive smugglers or traffickers, are just looking for a job.
Eritrea is one such government. Responding to media questions on a June 8 UN report on Eritrea’s atrocious human rights record, and the resulting mass exodus from the country since 2004, Eritrea’s ambassador to France said, “Let me tell you, all those ‘refugees’ are economic migrants.”
But the UN’s damning 500-page report on Eritrea tells a different story, one of extrajudicial killings, widespread torture and arbitrary detention in inhuman conditions, forced disappearances, and forcing men and women into decades of abusive military service for slave-like wages. The UN says some of these abuses may amount to crimes against humanity.
The report echoes dozens of human rights reports on Eritrea over the past decade. It also resonates with stories Human Rights Watch colleagues and I heard from Eritreans arriving in Italy by boat in May from Libya. An 18-year-old man called Tadesse, who tried to escape lifelong military service in Eritrea only to be caught at the border, told us, “I was thrown in a shipping container for five months. They used to tie us up and leave us in the hot sun for days on end as punishment.”
The UN report is based on hundreds of interviews with Eritrean asylum seekers and refugees across the globe but doesn’t include a single interview with Eritreans living in their own country. Why? Because repeated UN requests for its human rights experts to visit Eritrea were met with a deafening silence.
Putting aside the plethora of evidence from Eritrean refugees, the answer to this “debate” is quite simple. If Eritrea is so confident that hundreds of thousands of its citizens abroad are lying about why they left their country, why not fling open the doors and allow the UN and the rest of the world to see for itself?
With World Refugee Day coming up on June 20, as Eritrea continues to hemorrhage thousands of its citizens each month, it seems that’s the easiest way for the authorities to prove their spurious claim that Eritreans should not be part of the latest shocking global refugee statistics.

Causes of the Exodus of Eritrean Refugees and Suggested Solutions
Written by EPDP Information Office
June 20 is Refugee Day. The EPDP Information Office is republishing this article that was posted on Harnnet.org on 25 August 2014 to mark the occasion.
Eritrea is a small country with an estimated population of 6 million and a size of 120,000 square km. Eritrea as a nation was established 124 years ago by Italian colonial occupation. The population is composed of 9 ethnic/linguistic groups and the majority are agriculturalists, nomadic cattle herders and fishermen.
Eritrea has been successively colonized/ruled by Italy, Britain and Ethiopia. The Eritrean people's resistance against its colonizers has taken many forms, peaceful and armed. Eritrea became independent in 1991 after 30 years long (1961-1991) armed struggle against the Ethiopian occupation and has become a sovereign nation through an internationally recognized popular referendum 1n 1993.
As we all know, the main causes of human displacements and refugee flows are natural disasters, wars, poverty, bad governance and corruption.
The first wave of Eritrean refugees:-
Eritreans began to flee their country in large numbers in 1967, when the Ethiopian army started to carry its scorched earth policy by burning and bombarding whole villages in the lowland areas of Eritrea where the Eritrean Liberation Front (ELF) fighters were active. These refugees were mostly Muslims inhabiting the lowland regions of Eritrea as well as some from the highlands. The first group took refuge in the Sudan.
The second wave of refugees:-
In 1974 Emperor Haileselassie was deposed by a military junta, the Derg. The military junta carried successive campaigns of terror against the people of Eritrea and intensified its attacks against the Eritrean liberation movements, ELF and EPLF. As a result, many Eritreans were forced to flee their country to the Sudan, the Middle East and even as far as Europe and North America.
The third wave of refugees:-
The cause for this flow of refugees was the civil war in 1980-81 that was waged between the two biggest Eritrean liberation movements. As a result of this, tens of thousands of ELF fighters and civilians were forced to enter the Sudan. Many of these fighters were in due time able to reach Europe and North America through legal and illegal means. More refugees left the country in 1984-85 because of drought and famine.
The fourth wave of refugees:-
This flow of refugees happened after the border war between Eritrea and Ethiopia of 1998-2000 and it has not shown any sign of coming to an end. The main reason for the flow of these refugees is the open ended national service. Originally the project was meant for 18 months’ service for Eritreans between the ages of 18-40.
The great majority of the refugees in the fourth wave are the youth, the majority of which are under 25 years of age, and the main reason why they are fleeing their country is their opposition to the open ended national service and the flagrant abuse of their human rights by the one man dictatorial regime in Eritrea.
According to reports of the UN there are 300,000 Eritrean registered refugees in the Sudan. Many more stay with their relatives and countrymen without passing through the refugee camps. There are about 150,000 Eritrean refugees in Ethiopian refugee centers.
According to UNHCR estimates, not less than 3,000 Eritrean refugees cross the border and enter into the Sudan every month. Some are killed by the Eritrean border guards while crossing the border.
There are two refugee routes:-
1. Eritrea...Sudan/Ethiopia...Libya...Italy
2. Eritrea...Sudan/Ethiopia...Egypt/Sinai...Israel
The second route was opened in 2006 when Italy and Libya agreed to curb the flow of refugees to Europe. Israel is holding the refugees in concentration camps because they are considered as illegal infiltrators rather than refugees by the government. It has also entered into bilateral agreements with third countries in Africa to send back refugees.
Smugglers and Human Traffickers:-
The main groups involved in human smuggling in the region are the Rashaida of Eastern Sudan and the Bedouin of Sinai. But the network of human traffickers is much more complex. There are Eritrean, Ethiopian, Sudanese, Egyptian, Libyan security and military officials, extremist Islamic parties in addition to doctors and gangs trafficking with arms, drugs and human organs in the network.
Victims are sold several times to successive human trafficker's groups. Every kidnapped refugee has to pay ransom between 2,000 to 50,000 US dollars in order to be released by his/her captors. The captors use different types of torture to force their prey to pay the ransom money. The torture methods used includes beatings, dropping molten plastic on their backs, hanging on the ceilings and rape.
If the victims have relatives in Europe they are expected to pay a big amount of money. In order to pay the requested money the relatives will be connected to their respective relative through a mobile phone while being tortured and hear his/her sufferings and cries for help to save him/her from his captors.
If the ransom money is not paid, some of the victims’ internal organs will be taken away and sold to organ traffickers or die under torture.
If for some reason the flow of refugees to Sinai or Libya decreases or dries the criminal gangs kidnap the ones that are registered in the refugee camps whose fate will certainly be the same as their predecessors.
Many refugees die in the deserts due to thirst, hunger, sickness and overcrowding or drown in the high seas. On 3 October 2013 more than 360 Eritreans drowned near the coast of Lampadusa, Italy, tragedies that shock the world at large.
Pope Francis, who described 3 October as “a day of tears”, and “shame” to the world because of its failure to contain such tragedies, inspired many actors to give attention to the situation in Eritrea, including Italy and the European Union.
This inspiration by the Pope also seems to have encouraged four Eritrean Catholic Bishops to issue inside Eritrea on 25 May 2014 a strong pastoral message calling on all Eritreans to act and solve the problem before it gets too late. The message expressed the fear of total societal collapse in Eritrea within a short time unless Eritreans react and stop the unchecked exodus of the young.
What should be done?
1. Until a lasting solution is found, Eritrean refugees in the Sudan, Ethiopia, Djibouti and Yemen must have the right to education, training and employment in their respective countries of asylum.
2. There must be a mechanism to establish permanent peace between Eritrea, Ethiopia and the Sudan.
3. Security must be strengthened in and around the refugee camps in the Sudan and Ethiopia.
4. The marginalized or alienated communities in Sudan and Egypt (The Rashaidas and the Bedouin) should be accommodated in their respective governments and be involved in the affairs of their countries.
5. Eritrea, Ethiopia and the Sudan should coordinate their fight against human traffickers.
6. Political changes must be realized in the refugees source countries.
In Eritrea for example the rule of law should be established (constitution), the national service programme should be limited or totally abolished, the political system should be opened for the opposition, political prisoners should be released, the military must be demobilized and job opportunities should be created.

Gründe für die Flucht eritreischer Flüchtlinge sowie Lösungsvorschläge
Written by EPDP Information Office
Eritrea ist ein kleines Land mit schätzungsweise 6 Millionen Einwohnern auf 120000 Quadratkilometern. Als Staat wurde es vor 124 Jahren durch die italienische Besatzungsmacht gegründet. Die Bevölkerung besteht aus neun Ethnien und Sprachgruppen, mehrheitlich Bauern, nomadische Viehhirten und Fischer.
Eritrea wurde nacheinander durch Italien, Großbritannien und Äthiopien kolonialisiert und beherrscht. Der Widerstand des eritreischen Volkes gegen die Kolonialherren nahm viele Formen an, friedlich und bewaffnet. 1991 wurde Eritrea unabhängig nach einem 30-jährigen bewaffneten Kampf (1961 -1991) gegen die äthiopische Besatzung. Es wurde ein souveräner Staat auf Grund einer international anerkannten Volksabstimmung.
Wie wir alle wissen, sind Naturkatastrophen, Kriege, Armut, schlechtes Regieren und Korruption die wesentlichen Gründe für der Entstehung von Flüchtlingsströmen.
Die erste Flüchtlingswelle aus Eritrea
1967 begannen Eritreer in großer Zahl aus ihrem Land zu fliehen. Damals begann die äthiopische Arme im Rahmen ihrer Politik der verbrannten Erde damit, ganze Dörfer im eritreischen Tiefland zu bombardieren und niederzubrennen, wo die Eritreische Befreiungsfront (ELF) kämpfte. Die Flüchtlinge waren zumeist Moslems aus dem Tiefland, aber auch einige aus dem Hochland. Diese erste Flüchtlingsgruppe nahm Zuflucht im Sudan.
Die 2. Flüchtlingswelle
1974 wurde Kaiser Haile Selassie durch eine Militärjunta, die Derg, abgesetzt. Dies Junta führte mehrere Terror-Feldzüge gegen das Volk von Eritrea durch und verstärkte ihre Angriffe auf die eritreischen Befreiungsbewegungen ELF und EPLF. In Folge dessen waren viele Eritreer gezwungen, aus ihrem Land zu fliehen – in den Sudan, den mittleren Osten und sogar nach Europa oder Nordamerika.
Die 4. Flüchtlingswelle
Die Welle entstand nach dem Grenzkrieg zwischen Eritrea und Äthiopien 1998 -2000. Und bis jetzt ist kein Ende abzusehen. Die Hauptursache für diese Fluchtwelle ist der Umstand, dass die Dauer des nationalen Arbeitsdienstes nicht begrenzt ist. Ursprünglich sollte dieser Dienst für alle 18 – 40 Jahre alten Eritreer 18 Monate dauern.
Der Großteil dieser 4. Welle besteht aus Jugendlichen, von denen die Mehrheit unter 25 Jahre alt ist. Der Hauptgrund für ihre Flucht besteht darin, dass sie gegen diesen unbegrenzten Arbeitsdienst opponieren und auch gegen die flagrante Verletzung ihrer Menschenrechte durch die Einmann-Diktatur in Eritrea.
Nach UN-Angaben sind im Sudan 300.000 eritreische Flüchtlinge registriert. Zusätzlich halten sich viele bei ihren Verwandten oder Landsleuten auf, ohne zuvor in einem Flüchtlingslager gewesen zu sein. In Äthiopischen Flüchtlingszentren halten sich etwa 150.000 eritreische Flüchtlinge auf.
Laut UNHCR-Schätzungen überschreiten monatlich nicht weniger als 3.000 eritreische Flüchtlinge die Grenze zum Sudan. Einige werden dabei von eritreischen Grenzwachen getötet.
Es gibt zwei Flucht-Routen:
- Eritrea > Sudan oder Äthiopien > Libyen > Italien
- Eritrea > Sudan oder Äthiopien > Ägypten/Sinai > Israel
Die zweite Route wird seit 2006 genutzt, als Italien und Libyen übereinkamen, die Fluchtwelle nach Europa einzudämmen.
Israel hält die Flüchtlinge in „Konzentrationslagern“ fest, weil die Regierung die Flüchtlinge eher als illegale Eindringlinge ansieht denn als Flüchtlinge. Außerdem hat Israel mit Drittländern in Afrika bilaterale Abkommen über die Rücksendung von Flüchtlingen vereinbart.
Schmuggler und Menschenhändler
Die Hauptgruppen, die in der Region mit Menschenschmuggel zu tun haben, sind die Rashaida im Ostsudan und die Beduinen im Sinai. Doch das Netz der Menschenhändler ist weiter verzweigt. Beteiligt sind eritreische, äthiopische, sudanesische, ägyptische Sicherheitskräfte, extremistische islamische Parteien zusammen mit Ärzten und Banden und handeln in diesem Netz mit Waffen, Drogen und menschlichen Organen.
Die Opfer werden mehrfach nacheinander an unterschiedliche Gruppen von Menschenhändlern verkauft. Jeder entführte Flüchtling muss zwischen 2.000 und 50.000 $ zahlen, damit er von seinen Entführern freigelassen wird. Um ihre Lösegeldforderungen zu verstärken, nutzen sie unterschiedliche Foltermethoden, Die Opfer werden geschlagen, man träufelt geschmolzenes Plastik auf ihre Rücken, hängt sie an der Decke auf oder vergewaltigt sie.
Wenn die Opfer Verwandte in Europa haben, dann wird erwartet, dass sie sehr viel bezahlen. Damit die Verwandten den geforderten Betrag begleichen, werden sie per Handy mit ihren gefangenen Verwandten verbunden, die gerade gefoltert werden, und können hören, wie sie leiden, und ihr Schreien, mit dem sie um Rettung vor ihren Peinigern flehen.
Wenn das Lösegeld nicht gezahlt wird, werden einigen der Entführten innere Organe entnommen und an Organhändler verkauft, oder man lässt sie unter Folter sterben.
Wenn aus irgendwelchen Gründen der Flüchtlingsstrom auf den Sinai oder nach Libyen nachlässt oder vertrocknet, entführen die Banden registrierte Leute aus den Flüchtlingslagern. Deren Schicksal wird das gleiche sein wie das ihrer Vorgänger.
Viele Flüchtlinge sterben in der Wüste und auf See an Durst, Hunger und Krankheit oder ertrinken wegen Bootsüberfüllung. Am 3. Oktober 2013 ertranken mehr als 360 Eritreer vor der italienischen Küste bei Lampedusa, eine der Tragödien, die die Welt erschüttern.
Papst Franziskus hat den 3.Oktober als Tag der Tränen und als eine Schande für die Welt bezeichnet, weil die eine solche Tragödie nicht verhindert hat. Das hat das Augenmerk vieler, auch in Italien und der EU, auf die Situation in Eritrea gelenkt.
Diese Anregung des Papstes scheint auch vier eritreische katholische Bischöfe dazu ermutigt zu haben, am 25. Mai 2014 innerhalb Eritreas eine starke pastorale Botschaft zu verkünden. Darin rufen sie alle Eritreer dazu auf, zu handeln und die Probleme zu lösen, bevor es zu spät ist. Die Botschaft zeigte die Furcht vor einem völligen Zusammenbruch der Gesellschaft binnen kurzer Zeit, wenn die Eritreer nicht reagieren und den ungeplanten Exodus der Jugend aufhalten.
Was sollte getan werden?
- Bis eine dauerhafte Lösung gefunden wird, müssen die eritreischen Flüchtlinge im Sudan, in Äthiopien, in Dschibuti und im Jemen in den entsprechenden Asylländern das Recht auf Bildung, Ausbildung und Beschäftigung erhalte.
- Es muss ein Mechanismus eingeführt werden, der dauerhaften Frieden zwischen Eritrea, Äthiopien und dem Sudan herstellt.
- Die Sicherheit in den Flüchtlingslagern und ihrer Umgebung muss verstärkt werden.
- Die an den Rand gedrängten und der Gesellschaft entfremdeten Gemeinschaften im Sudan und in Ägypten ( Rashaidas und Beduinen) sollten an ihren jeweiligen Regierungen beteiligt werden und in und die Angelegenheiten ihres Landes behandeln.
- Eritrea, Ägypten und der Sudan sollten ihren Kampf gegen Menschenhandel koordinieren.
- In den Ursprungsländern der Flüchtlingsströme müssen politische Veränderungen verwirklicht werden.
In Eritrea z.B. sollte der Rechtsstaat (eine Verfassung) etabliert werden, der nationale Arbeitsdienst sollte begrenzt oder beseitigt werden. Das politische System sollte für die Opposition geöffnet, politische Gefangene sollten freigelassen werden. Das Militär muss demobilisiert, und Arbeitsmöglichkeiten sollten geschaffen werden.
