EPDP Mission to Israel Concluded with Success; New Youth-Driven Party Zone Is Formed
Written by EPDP Information Office
The delegation of the Eritrean People's Democratic Party (EPDP) which arrived in Tel Aviv on 31 March has successfully wrapped up its mission to Israel with a well-attended public meeting held on 13 April 2018.
The delegation, consisting of EPDP Central Council members Ms Feven Gideon and Mr. Tuku Tesfai, spoke in great detail about the solidly formulated EPDP structure with law-abiding constitutional practices; its principles enshrined in the Political Programme adopted at its congress of 2015 as well as the 4 June 2017 EPDP proposal for joint work with sister organizations . Also explained were some of the EPDP services to vulnerable groups of Eritreans like the refugee school at Wad-Sherifey in the Eritrea-Sudan border. Meeting participants expressed their great satisfaction with what they heard from the EPDP delegation.
The EPDP delegation has succeeded to enlist in the EPDP ranks a good number of young Eritreans in Israel who have already formed a region Party Zone headed by an existing EPDP member, youthful Tesfai Tseggai. This spectacular development is a clear evidence of the high level of determination of the young Eritrean generation to struggle for justice and a better Eritrea.
During its two-week mission to Israel, the EPDP delegation met and discussed with representatives of organized Eritrean social and political groups and individuals about the prevailing situation of asylum seekers in Israel and what measures could be followed to find better solutions.
At the public meeting as well At group discussions, one-to-one talks as well as at the public meeting, the EPDP was described as a party providing the right services to people in need and representing the wishes and aspirations of the Eritrean people of the people.
Known for their warm friendship and conviviality, EPDP CC members Feven and Tuku succeeded to knock at many doors of Eritreans in Israel and were told by their hosts that they will struggle with determination on the ranks of the EPDP whever they may be: "even if they are sent back to the monster in Eritrea".

A life of statelessness derailed this Eritrean runner's hopes to compete in the Olympics
Written by Shaina ShealyBy Shaina Shealy • Apr 17, 2018
Teklit Michael started running with Eritrea’s fastest athletes when he was just 14 years old. His plan: to compete in the 2012 London Olympics.
Michael burned through a pair of sneakers nearly every month, so he went to work at a government textile factory to foot the bill. One day after hours of labor, he went to collect his earnings. But he says his supervisor, a government employee, refused to pay him. When Michael pushed back, the man threatened him.
“He told me, 'You are a son of a bitch, and you are talking against the government,'” Michael recalls.
According to Freedom House, a watchdog agency that evaluates the state of democracy worldwide, Eritrea is not considered a "free" country. The dictatorship there is considered among the most repressive governments in the world. Military conscription can stretch indefinitely, and rights groups say the country ranks at the bottom when it comes to press freedom — below North Korea. Michael says punishment for criticizing the government is often prison.
He eventually decided to quit that job.
One day after practice, Michael's running coach pulled him aside as if he was foreshadowing, and told him, “You’re born to run. So don’t stop running."
Looking back at that moment, Michael says he thinks his coach knew he might get arrested. “He knew there was something wrong in the country,” Michael says. “He knew that something going to happen.”
A few months later, the police arrived and handcuffed Michael, accusing him of questioning the government. They put him in a dirty, crowded prison cell, which Michael says he was routinely dragged out of and beaten.
But even in his cell, Michael continued to train. He says the other prisoners made room for him while he did jumping jacks and jogged in place.
“They gave me space, one to two meters to jog — up and down, up and down,” he says.
After nearly a year of detention without an official charge, Michael decided to escape. He and another prisoner jumped a fence at night and sprinted into the darkness. When they reached the Sudanese border three days later, Eritrean soldiers tried to arrest them.
So they ran. Michael says the soldiers shot at them. Bullets hit the ground and dust flew up around his ankles. Michael remembers thinking “not my legs, not my legs. Please don’t shoot my legs,” he says. “I was always praying when people are shooting [at] me, 'Please don’t hit my legs.'”
Fleeing Eritrea
He ran fast, all day, covering about 100 kilometers (about 62 miles). At some point, he and his friend from prison were separated.
When Michael finally made it to the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, he walked to a massive open-air stadium. It was empty. Michael was hungry and wearing plastic sandals on his feet, but he stepped onto the track — and he ran. He imagined the stadium packed with people, cheering him on.
“It reminds you that you are special person, you are human being. You are not just a person searching to live — or searching to survive,” Michael says.
For the first time since he was dumped in prison, Michael says he felt human again. But he quickly went back to survival mode because he heard that the Sudanese government was arresting and deporting thousands of Eritreans.
Michael earned some money working odd jobs, mostly on farms. He scraped up enough to pay smugglers to get him to Egypt and across the Sinai desert. There, he pulled himself over the border fence into Israel’s Negev desert.
A new life in Israel
He eventually made his way to Tel Aviv. At first, Michael was homeless. He got a job sweeping floors in a 10-story parking garage and during his breaks, he would run the stairs. He ran whenever and wherever he could.
One day, Michael was spotted by a coach from the Israeli national team. The coach told Michael he had the potential to run professionally and invited him to train with the team. He brought Michael new shoes and jerseys.
“What can I say? It was my dream, to compete,” Michael says. “It’s not about the prize, it’s not about the medal.”
Michael's Olympic dreams were back on track. But there was one more problem standing in his way: he didn’t have papers or a passport.
“To be in that level [of competition] you have to have at least travel documents. I have none of them,” he says. “I am a stateless person. I am out of the system.”
He didn’t have much hope of that changing. Of the nearly 35,000 Eritrean and Sudanese migrants who have arrived in Israel since 2009, just 11 have received asylum.
Michael says his coach had one final idea, and it was a long shot. His coach told him that if he converted to Judaism, he might have a chance at citizenship. (Reporter's note: When I asked a spokesperson from the Israeli Federation of Athletics about this plan, he told me he had never heard of anything like that happening.)
Michael went to church, where he sat down to think about the suggestion. By the time he stood up, he says he knew it wasn’t an option for him. He was Eritrean and an Orthodox Christian. He says that converting felt as if it would be a betrayal of his identity.
Putting away his running shoes, and picking up a new purpose
He made another decision at that point too. He gave up his dream of Olympic competition.
“I say to myself, 'There is no more running,'” he says.
Michael, 29, now works as an advocate at the Eritrean Community Center in south Tel Aviv. In the past few years, he has spoken out against Israeli policies targeting asylum-seekers from African countries.
“When I stopped training one thing came to my mind: I have to shift my thinking. Not just to cry, but to do more meaningful things,” he says.
The Israeli government announced plans in January to deport about 20,000 African migrants over the next two years. On April 2, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a deal with the United Nations Refugee Agency to resettle about 16,000 African migrants to the West and give a similar number temporary status to remain in Israel. When he heard the news, Michael says he felt more optimistic than he had in years.
But the next day, Netanyahu cancelled the deal, amid criticism from harder-line members of his governing coalition.
Michael now says he doesn't trust any government anymore. Every government, he says, has betrayed him.

Eritrea: Human Rights Abuses of Eritreans, At Home and Abroad
Written by Human Rights Watch (Washington, DC)press release
Co-Chairman Hultgren and members of the Commission, thank you for the invitation to testify today.
Thousands of Eritreans, many of them young, flee Eritrea every month. This means Eritrea is losing a significant percentage of its population - by far the largest of any country not wracked by active conflict. UNHCR reported that at the end of 2016 there were 459,000 Eritreans who had claimed asylum worldwide in African states, in the Middle East, in Europe and here in the United States. Eritrea does not release population statistics, but estimations put that at more than 10% of Eritrea's current population.
Based on Human Rights Watch research, Eritreans' most predominant impetus for flight is to escape what is known as "national service." By a proclamation issued in 1995, all Eritreans are subject to 18 months of national service, including six months of military training. Eritrean law requires Eritreans leaving the country to hold an exit permit which the authorities only issue selectively, severely punishing those caught trying to leave without one, including with jail time.
To be clear, limited terms of national conscription do not, in themselves, constitute human rights violations. But it is not limited in Eritrea. The Eritrean government disregards the proclamation's time limits. Many conscripts are forced to serve indefinitely. Human Rights Watch has interviewed hundreds of Eritreans who were forced to serve a decade or more before they decided to flee -- in one recent case, a man had been in forced national service for over 17 years.
While some fortunate conscripts are assigned to civil service jobs or as teachers, many are placed in military units assigned to work on "development" projects in agriculture and infrastructure. None have a choice about their assignments, the locations or length of their service.
In the past few years, more and more unaccompanied children have fled Eritrea. When interviewed in Europe, they've explained they feared being forced into possibly indefinite military service. Many children told us they had observed what had happened to their fathers, older siblings, or other close relatives who had been conscripted and didn't want to suffer the same fate.
It's not just the length of time that causes so many conscripts to flee. What happens to them during their years of service is also devastating.
Pay during national service is below subsistence, although the Eritrean government has recently announced increases for some conscripts. The United Nations Commission of Inquiry in 2015 correctly called Eritrea's national service a form of "enslavement." During service, commanders subject conscripts to physical abuse, including torture.
