Preparation Underway for upcoming Eritrean events in Wiesbaden and Frankfurt

Mandated congress delegates who will not make it to Wiesbaden due to technical problems will have special arrangements to participate in making the unity congress a major success. These include congress delegates in the Sudan, Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia, Israel and some remaining delegates of party branches in Australia.

Delegates to the Third and Unity Congress at Wiesbaden will arrive at the venue on Sunday, 28 July, and start deliberations in the morrow following solidarity speeches of fraternal Eritrean organizations. 

Eritrea Festival 2019:

Soon after winding up the congress on 1 August, the unified party members will open the three-day festival in Frankfurt on 2 August. The main Eritrea Festsival Panel on Saturday, 3 August, will be addressed by several key speakers including Ambassador Andebrhan Weldegiorghis and other representatives of Eritrean sister political and civic organizations.

Germans Parties at Eritrea Festival: Friendly German parties that so far responded positively for attending the Festival shall be represented by Dr. Stephan Deusingen, CDU Frankfurt branch, Ms. Katherina Schreiner, FDP representative for Frankfurt environs, and Ms. Laura Knierim, Bundnis 90 Green party representative for Frankfurt. Also attending the Festival will be German friends representing the Darmstadt City Council and Stuttgart People’s Movement. 

Swedish Friend at Eritrea Festival 2019: Ms Christina Bjork, the perennial friend of the prolonged Eritrean struggle for national liberation and democracy, will be among those addressing the Festival Panel this year. Producer of a film on Eritrean struggle entitled Eritrea by the Sea, Ms Bjork has also promised Festival organizers to launch her new book on Eritrea at the event.

This year’s Eritrea Festival shall be covered by some Eritrean media channels like the Fanus Network and the Assena television (ATV), a powerful voice of the voiceless Eritrean people that reaches them on daily basis.

The Eritrean Democratic Association (EDA) in Germany, which organizes the annual festival in cooperation with party branches in Europe, is inviting the general public not to miss this grand Eritrean event where the slogan of the Enough-is Enough Movement shall be chanted repeatedly.
