"we usually hear many Eritreans saying that the young generation is tomorrow's successor of the elder generation. But I say no. It is not tomorrow or the day after that we wait to receive the torch of succession from the older generation. It is today and now that we take it". Kubrom Andom
Youthful Kubrom Andom was one of the young party members from Germany who represented his branch at the Second Congress of the Eritrean People's Democratic Party (EPDP) that was finalized on 30 July, 2015, at Wiesbaden, Germany. On 6 September 2015, his Frankfurt branch held its regular meeting at which he briefed meeting participants about the congress, what he learned from it and what his generation should do at this moment in time.
He told the Sunday meeting that the EPDP congress was a great learning process to him and that he really understood what democracy means in practice: "You can disagree, and say whatever you think and feel but at the end, you agree to abide by what the majority agrees".
He went on: "we usually hear many Eritreans saying that the young generation is tomorrow's successor of the elder generation. But I say no. It is not tomorrow or the day after that we wait to receive the torch of succession from the older generation. It is today and now that we take it".
In his forceful message at the branch meeting, young Kubrom also urged those supporters of the repressive regime who have been hostages of their small investments and purchase of government bonds to forget about their past mistakes and join their compatriots in removing the regime through People Power.
Other than Kubrom's motivational speech, Mr Negusse Tseggai and Ms Feven Ghideon, both newly members of the EPDP Central Council, also made presentations at the branch meeting.
Mr. Negusse Tseggai explained in great detail about the outcome of the Second EPDP Congress, including the important resolutions that can guide Kubrom and his generation to take over the mandate and responsibility of the struggle from the older generation. He also clarified why the congress what held in two different places and importance for justice seekers to be everywhere possible to strengthen their struggle against the dictatorship in Eritrea.
On her part, Ms Feven Ghideon talked about the Eritrea Festival that was held in Frankfurt soon after the congress and expressed her commendation of the role young party members played in making this year's festival a great success. She also read the list of names of the young party members who played key roles in the festival.
