Mr. Menghesteab Asmerom, Chairman of the Eritrean People's Democratic Party (EPDP) made a stop-over in Chicago on 1 July 2017 and met with Eritrean compatriots on the timely subject of lack of joint work in the Eritrean opposition and how to address it as a matter of urgency.
In opening the meeting, Mr. Tewelde Mehari from the Indiana branch of the EPDP, warmly welcomed the party Chairman to Chicago and regretted that unforeseen social obligations hindered a good number of interested Eritreans from joining the open discussion.
Mr. Menghesteab Asmerom outlined the existing common understanding of fundamental principles and positions of political organizations in the fragmented Eritrean opposition in diaspora and dwelt on the contents of the recently released EPDP proposal for dialogue towards a joint platform for working in common.
As previously raised and discussed in similar public gathering in the Bay Area and in San Diego, he explained how the opposition organizations can initiate a joint work in the spheres of diplomacy, public mobilization and in the media. His presentation was followed by a lively dialogue focused on the urgency of creating a working common platform for joint work.
The EPDP Chairman will continue meeting party branches and interested members of Eritrean communities in parts of the United States and Canada. He is scheduled to visit Seattle, Washington State, during the coming weekend.
