Briefing and Informal Interactive Dialogue on the Smuggling of Migrants in the Mediterranean
Written by whatisintheblue.org
posted onFRI 8 MAY 2015 4:30 PM
On Monday (11 May) the Council will receive a briefing by Federica Mogherini, the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, on the EU response to the smuggling of migrants in the Mediterranean Sea. After the briefing, Council members are expected to hold an informal interactive dialogue with her. At the request of Chad, the permanent observer of the AU to the UN, Ambassador Tete António, will also participate in these meetings.
This briefing comes after the 19 April incident in which more than 700 migrants drowned when the overcrowded boat on which they were traveling sank near Libya. According to the Integrational Organization for Migration, more than 1,700 migrants have drowned since the beginning of January in the Mediterranean Sea. In a 21 April press statement, Council members expressed grave concern at the smuggling of migrants off the coast of Libya, highlighting the implications for regional stability. On 22 April, at the request of the UK, Council members exchanged views on this issue under “any other business”.
Mogherini is expected to brief Council members on the integrated strategy by the EU to address the smuggling of migrants in the Mediterranean Sea. The strategy includes the provision of bilateral development assistance to countries on the southern and eastern Mediterranean basin—as well as to countries of origin and transit—while tripling the financial resources available to operations Triton and Poseidon, currently existing in the territorial waters of EU member states. In a 20 April joint meeting of EU foreign and interior Ministers, chaired by Mogherini, the Home Affairs and Citizenship Commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos of Greece presented a plan to respond to migrant smuggling in the Mediterranean, which would entail a systematic effort to capture and destroy vessels used by the smugglers, inspired by the EU Atalanta Operation deployed to fight against piracy off the coast of Somalia. The plan was endorsed in a 23 April meeting of the EU Council, and negotiations are ongoing at the EU to agree on the Crisis Management Concept, which is the basis for operational planning and conduct of any EU mission.
Since that meeting, discussions among EU members of the Council (France, Lithuania, Spain, and the UK) and Italy on a draft resolution apparently authorising such an operation have been ongoing. It seems some permanent members have been able to provide inputs. It appears the idea is for a Chapter VII resolution that will authorise an EU operation to use all necessary measures to inspect, seize and dispose of vessels when there are grounds to believe that they are participating in the smuggling of migrants. The draft may be circulated to the wider membership of the Council in the coming days.
Although most Council members have not seen the draft text, they are aware of some of its elements and are expected to seek information that might feed into any negotiations of the draft. Council members are likely to want to know more about the expected geographical scope of the resolution (whether this includes the high seas, the territorial waters of Libya or even its shore) and whether the EU is seeking Libya’s consent. In this context, Council members might inquire about Mogherini’s recent conversations in Tunisia with Libyan political actors, and the potential impact of such an operation on the political process. Some Council members might be worried that asking for the consent of the Tobruk-based government could negatively impact the talks, which are aimed at the formation of a government of national unity.
Some Council members may echo concerns regarding the protection of human rights and international refugee law that have been raised by the Secretary-General as well as the UN High Commissioners for Human Rights and Refugees. In particular, they might ask about the fate of the migrants taken into custody, and note the importance of respecting the guarantees of international law, notably the 1951 Refugee Convention and the principle of non-refoulement. When the programme of work was adopted, a briefing by the High Commissioner for Refugees, along with the head of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, was being considered for some point in May. Some Council members may have expected these briefings to happen before engaging in discussions about the regional responses to the smuggling of migrants; however, at press time, it was unclear if and when they will be held.
In the past, it has been difficult to get agreement on resolutions authorising the interception of vessels, whether in the context of the implementation of sanctions or counter-piracy measures. Some Council members feel strongly about not contravening the freedom of navigation principle codified in the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. As such, they have tended to focus their discussions in the past on issues such as the procedures to authorise the interdiction, whether the consent of the flag state is required, and where the interdiction is authorised to happen.

A Saudi war fought with Eritrean troops?
Written by By: Mohammad Abu Fares Date of publication: 8 May, 2015A Saudi war fought with Eritrean troops?
Mohammad Abu Fares Date of publication: 8 May, 2015Eritrea could be the second non-Arab African nation to contribute troops to the Saudi-led alliance against Houthi rebels in Yemen.
Eritrea's president Isaias Afwerki visited Riyadh last week to meet King Salman and other leading Saudi officials. This has led many to believe that Eritrea could follow Senegal's lead - the West African nation announced earlier this week that it would send 2,100 soldiers to join the Saudi alliance.
Sources in Asmara revealed to al-Araby al-Jadeed that talks between Eritrean and Saudi officials has brought them to a common understandings on a number of strategic and security related issues.
Sources expect an announcement on military cooperation between the two states, which would allow the alliance to use Eritrean airspace and seas.
It is also being said that Saudi is hoping to capitalise on the capabilities of the Eritrean armed forces.
Strategically important
Eritrea occupies an important geographically location on the Horn of Africa.
It lies just over the water from Yemen, looking over one of the most strategically important sea corridors in the world - where the Red Sea leads to the Suez Canal.
Eritrea would be an obvious launchpad for amphibious attacks if Saudi Arabia wanted to being a ground war.
Saudi Arabia has built good relations with three other Red Sea states share maritime borders with Yemen - Djibouti, Somalia and Ethiopia. Eritrea was the fourth piece in the jigsaw and has hosted foreign troops before.
Israel and Iran have military bases in Eritrea, but as the tide turns against the Tehran-backed Houthi militias in Yemen, Asmara appears to be cutting ties with these countries.
"Afwerki's controversial relations have continued to be a source of angst for Saudi Arabia, which is just a strip of sea away from Eritrea," said one Arab diplomat who wanted to remain anonymous.

"Saudi Arabia worries when Eritrean-Israeli relations progressed, which led to... the presence of Israeli bases in Dahlak and other Eritrean islands just off the Saudi coast. Relations between the two countries hit their lowest level."
Eritrea was said to be, secretly at least, on the side of ally Iran and the Houthis during the Saudi-led assault on Yemen.
However, observers believe that Afwerki's visit to Riyadh has turned the tables and that Eritrea might be sending signals to the US that it is eager to be friends.
Influential groups in Eritrea have been suspected of supporting Somalia's al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabaab.
Some African diplomats were not surprised by the turnaround. Gulf nations were said to have been heavily involved in negotiations with African countries allied to Asmara in the build up to the visit.
Qatar has been effective in leading talks between Eritrea and some of its hostile neighbours.
The diplomats believe that the talks with Saudi Arabia is an attempt by Asmara to break its international isolation.
This has been enforced through UN resolution 1907, which imposed sanctions on Eritrea over its role in Somalia and refusal to pull its troops out of Djibouti.
With 200,000 soldiers and 12,000 naval personnel, and commanders experienced from Eritrea's war with Ethiopia, the country could provide the backbone of a coalition invasion force.
The fact that they are ruled by an absolute dictator and dissent in the country has been crushed, then Eritrea would not be faced with a repeat of the Pakistani parliament's refusal to engage in Saudi's war in Yemen.

تقرير عن الندوة السياسية الرابعة في روتردام
Written by اللجنة المنظمة للندوة السياسية في روتردامعقدت الندوة السياسية الشهرية التي يقيمها الإرتريون في روتردام بهولندا، بتاريخ 11 أبريل 2015، بمقر جبهة الإنقاذ الوطني الإرترية بروتردام. وشارك في الندوة لفيف من أعضاء وكوادر وقيادات مختلف التنظيمات السياسية ومنظمات المجتمع المدني، وإعلاميين وناشطين مستقلين مهتمين بقضايا وهموم الوطن. كما لوحظ حضور ومشاركة ملفتة من فئة الشباب.
تحت عنوان (أزمتنا .. هل تكمن في مفاهيمنا السياسية، أم في تعدد القوى السياسية.. !!) قدم العضو البارز في حزب الشعب الديمقراطي الإرتري، الأستاذ ضرار منتاي، ورقة شاملة للأزمة الإرترية .. تعريفها، مسبباتها، والحلول العلمية لها. فيما يلي نصها:
أزمتنا.. هل تكمن في مفاهيمنا السياسية..
أم في تعدد القوى السياسية..؟
من الثقافات الموروثة في مجتمعنا الإرتري ، اتباع النظام سواء في حلقة تناول الطعام أو القهوة، والتعاون في الأفراح والأتراح والوقوف مع المحتاجين في شكل نفير. إلا أننا لم نرتق بهذه الثقافة، إلى مستوى اتفاقيات عليا مشتركة. وهذه الثقافة العريقة والتقاليد المتأصلة في مجتمعنا الإرتري، والتي خلقت الترابط الاجتماعي ووفرت الثقة، لم تجد نصيبها في حياتنا اليومية السياسية من العيش المشترك وتبادل الاحترام وتحمل بعضنا البعض. بالتأكيد في أوساطنا من يفكر إيجابا ومن يفكر سلبا. وبما أنهما يدافعان عن هدف واحد، يصعب علينا تصديق هذا او ذاك! وهناك تأثيرات لطبيعة الأفراد في الجهود المبذولة لحل الأزمات السياسية الاجتماعية والثقافية.. ما هي انعكاساتها الإيجابية والسلبية؟ وما دام لنا ثقافات وتقاليد مشتركة، ما الذي يمنعنا من الارتقاء بها إلى هدف وطني مشترك؟
ما هي الأزمة؟
تنبع الأزمة عندما يصل الخلاف ذروته في حال تعذر وصول فرد مع الآخرين إلى حل وسط أساسه تبادل الاحترام وللرغبات والمصالح. وإذا لم نتحمل بعضنا البعض عند حدوث خلاف ما بسبب انتماءاتنا الدينية والسياسية وغيرها، لاشك أنها ستصل بنا إلى مرحلة الأزمة. تؤدي الأزمة إلى الحذر والخوف وأحيانا إلى التعصب والعنف. ولا تنحصر الأزمة بين الأفراد والجماعات بل تتعداها إلى ازمات بين دول وأحزاب سياسية وحكومات.
وإذا لم تحل الأزمة بالأسلوب الصحيح، ستؤثر بلا شك على عملية السلام والإتفاقات المبرمة، وتتدرج نحو عدم التفاهم وانعدام الثقة وتبدل العلاقات المتينة إلى عداء ومشاحنات. ذلك أن كل طرف ينظر للقضية من زاويته الخاصة . لهذا تطفو الأزمة على السطح عندما لم يتمكن الطرفان من الوصول إلى حل يرضي كليهما. ويمكن تقسيم الأزمة إلى قسمين .. إيجابية وسلبية، بمعنى آخر أزمة بناءة وأخرى هدامة.
الأزمة البناءة: من إيجابياتها، توجيه النظر نحو المصالح المشتركة.. تمتين العلاقات .. خلق الثقة.. إشاعة روح التواصل المستمر،..تطوير أسلوب التعبير عن الرغبات المشتركة.. تحفز كل طرف على أنه منتصر.. تتجه نحو الأمر الصواب.. تخلق روح الاستعداد للمشاركة والتنازل.. تهتم بطرح الأفكار وبحث البدائل المختلفة.
متى تكون الأزمة هدامة؟ عندما تنطلق من التفكير الضيق.. وتركز على المصلحة الشخصية والهموم الذاتية، عندما تسيطر على الفرد روح الانتقام من خصمه وضرورة التغلب عليه.. عندما يكون التهديد والترهيب سيد الموقف.. عندما تبدر مؤشرات الكراهية وروح التعالي.. عندما تقل روح المرونة.. عندما تسود روح اللامبالاة بجادة الصواب.. عندما لا توضع أي تحوطات لاحتمال حدوث مخاطر سوى الاهتمام بالأمر الذي يريده كل طرف.. تبيت مخاوف من إحداث التغير .. تهدم أواصر العلاقات وتقطع التواصل.. تدمر المعنويات. ولأن لكل منا مصالحه ويمتلك طريقة تفكير مختلفة في قضايا بعينها، فإن الأزمة لا حدود لها. إلا أنه يجب عدم الاستسلام وينبغي البحث عن إمكانية حصر وتحديد نقاط الخلاف وجلب الحلول الإيجابية لها.
طبيعة الأفراد، لها تأثيرها وانعكاساتها في حل الأزمة او الخلافات:
- الاهتمام بالتفكير بقضيتك أو بما يعنيك فقط
- العمل فقط
- المواجهة العلمية
- تصل الأزمة إلى درجة عدم الاكتراث بالهدف المشترك:
- الهدف المشترك يساعد للمضي قدما معا، لتحقيق قيم الهوية والحقوق والحرية والوحدة. ما هي الأهداف المشتركة ؟
- الهدف المشترك يرتكز على الثوابت الوطنية وهي:
- سيادة الشعب تعني أعلى سلطة يقيمها الشعب بالطريقة التي يحكم بها نفسه بنفسه، وإقامة النظام الذي يريده، عبر قانون متفق عليه. ذلك حتى يكون الشعب صاحب السلطة السياسية ، يقرر فيه مستقبله السياسي؛
- السيادة الوطنية، معترف بها دوليا، وضمان استقلالية تلك الدولة من التدخلات الأجنبية، وتكف هي الأخرى عن التدخل في الشئون الداخلية للدول الأخرى، وأن تحترم العهود والمواثيق الدولية الخاصة بالحدود والقضايا الداخلية؛
- وحدة الشعب؛
- سيادة القانون: أن يكون القانون سيدا للحكومة والحكومة خادمة للقانون؛
- أن تحكم إرتريا بالدستور وبنظام ديمقراطي.. وغيرها.
إذا كنا نؤمن بهذه الثوابت، فنحن مطالبون للعمل لمعرفة أساس أزمتنا.. إن السر الذي يحول دون الوصول إلى حقيقة اختلافاتنا وأزمتنا، هو عدم الرغبة والاستعداد لمعرفته بشكل دقيق. الثاني هو معرفتنا للسبب ولكننا نتظاهر بعدم معرفته وبالتالي نقفز على الحقائق. والسببان يؤديان إلى ترك السبب الحقيقي وتجاوزه إلى النتائج والانعكاسات. وهذا يجعلنا، عرضة للاتهامات والتشويهات المتبادلة، ونباعد المسافات بيننا ونقلل من شأن بعضنا البعض، بدلا من بحث الحلول، ثم ننطلق لتحقيق انتصارات فردية، مما يغرقنا في سياسة عقيمة عديمة الجدوى وغير علمية.
لهذا إذا اتفقنا على أن يشارك كل حزب أو أي قوى سياسية بمحض إرادته، ما لم يخالف الثوابت الوطنية، ودون الاعتبار لحجمه السياسي، ذلك يساعد على معرفة مسببات الأزمة وبالتالي يسهل الوصول لإيجاد الحلول السياسية للخلافات. وعندما نقول بمحض رغبته لا يجب أن تكون مفتوحة، بل يجب وضع قيود عليها. ونعني بالقيود ألا يكون على حساب وحدة الأرض والشعب وألا يكون عنصر إضعاف القوى الوطنية.
حل الأزمة:
التفكير والاهتمام الخاص بالعملية التي تقرب البون الشاسع بين القوى السياسية وتقريب الهوة بين الأوضاع السياسية الراهنة والهدف المنشود. وهذا يتم بمعرفة العنصر الذي يقف حجر عثرة إن سرا أو علنا، امام الهدف. وعندما نقف على هذه الحقيقة، يجب أن ننظر للأمر الذي يفيدنا جميعا. لهذا من الواجب ان ننطلق في التفكير للخروج من هذا المأزق السياسي الراهن. وهذا يتم بروح مسئولة عبر نقاشات منطقية صريحة ومتواصلة لمختلف القضايا السياسية. بمعنى أن التغيير المنشود وإيجاد الحلول للخلافات نصل إليها عندما نحدث تغييرا في ذواتنا. إذا لم نتفق اليوم على معرفة اختلافاتنا وأزماتنا ولم نستطع تشخيصها ونضع لها الحلول المناسبة ونعالجها، لا ندري فإلى أي مأزق سيقودنا عملية تأجيلها إلى ما بعد الدخول إلى إرتريا.؟؟
للازمة خمس مراحل:
- مقدمة الأزمة: وتظهر في إطار اختلافات فهمنا السياسي للمصالح والثقافة والدين.
- لحظة الضغط على الزناد أو لحظة الصفر.
- المبادرات
- مرحلة التمييز
- مرحلة الحل: الإعتراف بأن الأزمة في حد ذاتها ليست حلا، والاعتراف بمخاطرها والاستعداد لجلب الحلول . هذه المرحلة هي إدراك لمختلف الخيارات المطروحة لحل الأزمة. وكما يقول "واتزالاوك.. وبيفن.. وجاكسون" (حتى نفهم الأزمة.. لابد لنا أن نفهم التفاوض)، فإن الخصام والاختلاف لا يؤدي إلى نهاية.. لهذا فإن التشاور والتفاهم أنجع وسيلة للتفاوض.
التفاوض: لاشك فإن كل ازمة لا يمكن أن تتضح وتحل إلا عبر اللقاء. فاللقاء نعني به، تحديد مكان للالتقاء وطرح نقاط الخلاف، قد ينجح أو بفشل. لهذا فثمة
- عنصران يطفوان على السطح في أي لقاء لبني البشر وهما:
- عنصر موضوعي
- عنصر رابط
وهذان العنصران متلازمان في اي لقاء.
- العنصر الموضوعي، وهو العنصر المنطقي الظاهر.
- العنصر الرابط، وهو رأي المشارك.. مثلا (التحرك الإقليمي) لا يساعد على تحقيق الهدف (فهو غير إيجابي). ولكن ثمة من يرى في هذا التحرك إيجابيًّا. فعندما تكون علاقة أصحاب الرأيين متوترة، يفتقد عنصر الثقة بين الطرفين وتسود الشكوك بينهما. وبالتالي يلجأ الطرفان إلى التفكير في السيطرة والتحكم على الأمور وتسود روح التعالي والتعصب. لهذا فإن اللقاء والمفاوضات تكون ضرورية.. وهنا لابد من الانتباه إلى الآتي:
- أن يكون هناك دواعي
- مراعاة أسلوب الحديث
- الابتعاد عن أسلوب التهديد والترهيب بأي شكل كان
- اتباع أسلوب متحضر وانتقاء الألفاظ.
- البشاشة وسعة الصدر
- صيانة اللسان من ألفاظ تنكأ مشاعر الطرف الآخر
- عدم التخاطب بالأساليب السوقية
لاشك أننا في هذه الندوة نفكر كلنا في وسائل وحلول لمختلف أزماتنا واختلافاتنا، حتى لا تستمر بهذا الوضع. ذلك لأننا وبجانب شعبنا نعتقد بضرورة المشاركة في معالجة وضعنا السياسي المتأزم. لذلك يجب أن نؤمن بأننا لا نستطيع منفردين جلب حلول لمعضلاتنا إلا بالتكاتف والتفاكر. وللوصول إلى حلول مشتركة لابد لنا أن نضع في الاعتبار النقاط التالية:
- تطوير القناعة المشتركة
- 2.امتلاك المعلومة الحقيقية
- 3.ما يجب أن نعرفه
- 4.ما علينا ترجمته
- تطوير القناعة المشتركة؛
كلنا أبناء وطن واحد. ولاشك أننا لا نختلف في ذلك. وبما أننا أبناء وطن واحد، إذا لم نطور قناعاتنا الوطنية، في وحدة الأرض والشعب،لاشك أن نظرتنا تتجه نحو البحث عن مصالح ما دون الوطنية. وبخطوة من الكل، كل في اتجاهه، لاشك فإننا بذلك سنشارك في إلحاق الضرر بالوحدة الوطنية. إذن نحن مرغمين على اتباع سيكلوجية تساعد على تمييز الصواب من الخطأ، والحقيقة من الكذب. وتثار الأزمة عندما ننطلق متجاهلين لهذه الحقائق التي هي أساس الأزمة. ولهذا فإنه يغيب عن أذهاننا مفهوم (احتضن غيرك لكي تُحتضَنْ..) وبذلك نندفع لتقييم الأمور من زاوية ضيقة وبنظرة ريب. وذلك :
- حتى لا يعالج الخطأ
- حتى لا نضع حدا لمكامن الخطر في حينه
- حتى لا تقبل الفكرة البناءة
- حتى لا تتلاقح الأفكار وتختمر
- ·امتلاك المعلومة الحقيقية:
عندما تأخذ المعلومة شكل استفزازي، تغطي على السبب، وهذا يحول دون امتلاك المعلومة الجيدة. وبسبب تمليك المعلومة الخاطئة، تتغلب النوايا السيئة على النوايا الحسنة. وبسبب سيطرة المعلومة الخطأ على الأجواء، يصعب علينا استيعاب الأفكار الجيدة. وهذا يسدُّ الباب أمام تلاقح الأفكار المتماثلة، وتحول دون تقارب العلاقات بين المتقاربين. وعندما لا نمتلك المعلومة الحقيقية والمفيدة، يصل بنا الأمر إلى درجة مساندة ما يتعارض ومصالحنا المشتركة. وكذلك نكون عُرضة لتصديق تلك المعلومة المغلوطة والتي توضع في قالب منمق. ونكون بالتالي ضحية دون ان ندري بمساندتنا للمنافق الذي أخفى عنا الحقيقة، بعد أن سلب عقولنا بكلام منمق.
- ·ما يجب علينا معرفته:
علينا معرفة مبادئ الحرية وهي واضحة، وعدم إلحاق أي ضرر بإنسان ، مراعاة واحترام حقوق الآخرين، وحرية التعبير بصراحة عن الرأي .. وإلخ.
معرفة نتائج البرنامج المطروح كحل، وتقييمه هل يحتاج الى تعديلات أوعدمها.
- لوضع القرار النهائي لابد من الوضع في الاعتبار معرفة هل هو تقييم مؤسس على علمية ومن منطلقات حسن نوايا.
- الانتباه إلى أن الحل الصحيح للخلافات والازمات يتم باسلوب هادئ، وليس بالعنف والمشاحنات.
- التفكير للاستفادة من الاسلوب الديمقراطي وتحمل البعض حتى يتحقق الهدف والنتائج.
- معرفة أن اختلاف الرأي، يجب أن نبحث له عن أفضل خيار للحل ، وألا ننظر إليه باعتباره هدّامًا.
كما يجب أن نضع في الاعتبار أن كل الجهود المبذولة، ستؤدي إلى طريق مسدود (فشل) ما لم يكن هناك اتفاق حول اتباع نهج قانوني وطني عام حول القضايا الوطنية المشتركة، خارج إطار الحزبية الضيقة.
- ·ما يجب ترجمته عمليًّا:
من المهم الإلمام بأسباب الازمة. بعد ذلك يمكننا المشاركة في طرحها وعلاجها. واولى المتطلبات قبل الشروع للمشاركة في حل الأزمة التي نعتقد بوجودها، الاستعداد لإجراء الدراسة لها وبحث حلول شاملة. واذا لم نستطع معرفة اسباب الخلاف بالضبط، أو لم يكن لنا الاستعداد لمعرفتها، بالتأكيد سنجد إشكالية في حل الازمة او وضع نهاية لها. لهذا يجب علينا التحلي بالمسئولية والضمير، حتى لا نكون اعداء الحرية والسلام والاستقرار. ونحقق ذلك بإحداث تغيير في ذواتنا. واذا لم نفعل هكذا لا نستطيع وضع دراسة لأسباب الأزمة ووضع نهاية ايجابية للقضية محل الخلاف. لهذا يتطلب منا عمل شيئين:
- أن نتعظ من اخطاء الماضي ونتفادى الاخطار السلبية.
- معالجة المرض لإنقاذ المريض.
وللوصول الى هذا :
- معرفة الازمة والاختلافات وطرحها بوضوح؛
- تحديد وتقييم نقاط الخلاف؛
- تمييز الحل والبدائل؛
- تقييم البدائل؛
- اختيار حلول الازمات؛
- ترجمة الحل على الارض.
وفي هذا الإطار يمكننا الاسترشاد بالنقاط التالية:
- خلق ارضية تهيئ فكرًا سياسيًّا مرنًا؛
- العمل على تطوير الثقافة الديمقراطية؛
- التأمين على أن أية قضية وطنية عامة تحتاج الى مشاركة وتعاون الجميع؛
- الاتفاق والتخطيط لكيفية الوصول إلى دستور دائم للنظام السياسي؛
- البحث عن قانون يشرك الشعب وقواه السياسية؛
- السعي للاعتماد على السياسة العملية والعلمية.
في الختام.. عندما نقول في فهمنا السياسي، إنقاذ الوطن، فإن ذلك لا يتحقق إلا عندما نكون قادرين على التنسيق مع القوى الأخرى، لتهيئة نظم دستورية حيوية ذات استمرارية، لا تضر بالهوية الوطنية والسلام الوطني والشعور الوطني.
شكرًا لكم على حسن الاصغاء !

بعد الاستماع إلى الورقة السياسية الهامة التي قدمها الأستاذ ضرار منتاي، أتيحت الفرصة لمداخلات الحضور، الذي أشاد بمقدم الورقة في اتباعه الأسلوب العلمي في معالجة الأزمة السياسية في الساحة الإرترية، وتوفيره المادة محل النقاش مكتوبة باللغتين العربية والتجرينية. وتباينت الآراء في نقاشها للكلمة. بين من يرى الفهم السياسي هو سبب الأزمة .. وبين من يرى عكس ذلك إنما في التعدد السياسي. وفريق ثالث يرى في أنها لا تكمن في الفهم أو في التعدد، إنما في وسائل تفعيلها أو عدمها..!
وركزت الآراء على ضرورة وجود معيار قانوني، في اللوائح التي تنظم عمل المظلات السياسية الجامعة، لاستيفاء شروط قبول وتسجيل عضوية التنظيمات، تجنبا لتسجيل أسماء لتنظيمات لا وجود لها في الساحة، ولتفادي البحث عن مصالح شخصية وذاتية ضيقة.
كما ركزت بعض الآراء على ضرورة سيادة الحوار الديمقراطي، في أوساط القوى السياسية، وتبنيها كنهج لإثراء الساحة الإرترية التي تكاد تفتقدها، والخروج من التقوقع والانعزالية.
وأكد الحاضرون على ضرورة ضمان استقلالية القرار السياسي لأي تنظيم سياسي يطمح إلى تحقيق أهداف مستقلة في إرتريا المستقبل، مشيرين إلى أنه "ليس من أحد يستطيع امتطاءك مالم تحن ظهرك"..!
مع تحيات اللجنة المنظمة
