Sultan Saeed, Chairperson of NUEYS
Asmara, 4 July 2012 – The NUEYS Chairman, Mr. Sultan Seid, explained that the national value of self-sacrifice has been the characteristic feature of Eritrean youths across generations. He made the remarks in an interview he conducted with the state media in connection with the 5th National Youth Festival.
Indicating that Eritrea is a nation blessed with diligent and realism-oriented youths, Mr. Sultan pointed out that their role in the nation building process has become progressively substantial. He further pointed out that the nation is registering significant accomplishments in various domains thanks to the youths inside the country and abroad who are ensuring the required sacrifice.
Eritrean youths could demonstrate steadfastness against the hostile challenges directed against them for they irreplaceably cherish the all-dimensional sacrifice paid for national independence. Moreover, the nation’s bright future which has become more apparent than ever attests to their collective input, Mr. Sultan added.
The NUEYS Chairman also said that Eritrea’s history is one of remarkable generations of youth, and that it is historical as today’s generation shoulders the responsibilities of developing the nation and safeguarding its dignity.
Ibrahim Hassen, Head of the 5th Eri-Youth Festival organizing committee
The 5th Eritrean Youth Festival will be held in Sawa from 13 to 15 July 2012. This festival is basically of the youths, but people from all walks of life have been part of it. The main objective of the youths gathering is to enable Eritrean youths throughout the country and also youths from abroad share experiences among each other. Every two years, in the summer time, it has been a gathering where youths demonstrate their talent in varied disciplines. It is simultaneously a give and take relationship which has been fostered among the youths. Every youth could find some grand values to share and experiences to gain from Sawa’s festival. It is from this outlook that youths eagerly wait to be part of upcoming festival. In this festival, parents and other visitors get a chance to see what the potentials of the youths are and children get inspired of what the role model youths have accomplished and of the talents the youths have to offer them. Below is an excerpt of the interview conducted with Mr. Ibrahim Hassen, NUEYS’ chairperson of holidays coordinating committee, in connection with the preparations that have been made to colorfully hold the 5th National Youth Festival
As part of the 5th Eri-Youth Festival, the National Union of Eritrean Youth and Students (NUEYS) is hosting an East Africa Youth Forum from 7-13 July 2012, in the capital city of Asmara, with the aim of strengthening the Pan African Youth Union (PYU) throughout the East Africa/Indian Ocean sub-region. The forum will be held under the theme “Active Youth Citizenship for Conflict Transformation and Regional Integration!”
The forum intends to strengthen the understanding of the youth when it comes to the current socio-political and economic situation in the region, and harness their contribution in playing an active role towards peace, security, and regional integration. The main objectives of the regional forum includes: exchange of experiences and views among participants; forge common understanding among youth leaders; reveal Eritrea’s stance on issues of war looming in the region, and its peaceful solutions; and enhance Eritrea’s regional relations.
Fifteen (15) research papers from both inside and outside of Eritrea are expected to be presented at the forum. The thematic topics of the papers are directly related with the main theme of the forum and attempt to address the nature and type of conflicts in the region, as well as the prospects of peace, security and regional integration in Eastern Africa. So far, around 40 delegates from East Africa and Indian Ocean countries have confirmed their participation. Delegates and youth representatives from Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia, Mauritius, Egypt, and more are expected to take part in this historical forum.
All necessary preparations, including forum materials, logistic and accommodation arrangements, and tour programs for forum participants have been arranged and are well underway, according to the preparatory committee of the forum.
During its General Council meeting, which took place from 23-25 May 2012 in Harhare, Zimbabwe, the World Federation of Democratic Youth (WFDY) called for the immediate annulment of the unjust sanctions imposed on Eritrea, and that the final and binding decision of the Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission be respected in its political resolution.
