On Sunday, 13 March 2016, chairman of the Eritrean People's Democratic Party, Menghesteab Asmerom, held a special meeting with party members in Australia and briefed them on the situation in Eritrea, the status of the opposition camp and activities of various organs of the party since its second congress of July 2015.
EPDP members are located in the environs of Brisbane in the east, Melbourne in the south and Perth in western Australia. Due to time differences, most party members in Australia do not take part in the periodical briefings given by the chairman and other executive committee members.
Chairman Menghesteab took one hour to cover the main issues in his presentation and members extended the meeting by several hours to ask and discuss issues of the current period in the struggle for change and democratization in Eritrea.
Branch members in Australia are among the most committed party members whose material contributions have been notable. Continuing the tradition, the veteran freedom fighter Desta Tekle opened a new wave of contribution by paying Australian $1000 at the end of the meeting.
The branch members commended the briefing session granted them by the party chairman and recommended that such meetings be continued in the future.
