CORCORAN: Has it all passed the point of no return? Is the great African dream, this great African Renaissance, is it now dead? Is it now gone?
KENEALLY: I hope that it hasn’t. There are signs that it may.
CORCORAN: And how would that make you feel if it is the end?

The National Archives in London contain millions of documents on various historical areas that span hundreds of years. Eritrea was under the British Administration from 1941 to 1952.
This section will, for the coming months, post archive documents from that period. The contents of the collection range from the economic and political to administration and establishing order and managing social and tribal conflicts. The amount of material in store is literally inexhaustible and might even keep this column open forever. In the meantime however, Asmarino website will do its best to display documents whenever they are made available.
Asmarino hopes that this collection will reveal yet another aspect of an ignored or long forgotten Eritrean history. The documents speak for themselves and the reader is invited to make their own judgement.
Asmarino wishes to express its thanks to The National Archives - London.

Before the G15, there were the G13
“The Berlin Manifesto”
Letter to the President of Eritrea.
“Men are respectable only as they respect” Ralph Waldo Emerson
Mr. President,
Despite these disquieting developments, we remained remarkably silent. The reason for our silence was not due to apathy or lack of interest but rather due to the pervasive phenomenon of self-censorship. This self-censorship was particularly acute during the last two years because we all felt that criticism would give aid and comfort to the enemy who might distort it to suit its purposes. Now it is time to speak and speak plainly. Further silence can only endanger the interest of the country as well as compromise our historic responsibility. We must now say that, in our considered opinion, the government has lagged behind in the development of democratic institutions, including mechanisms for ensuring accountability and transparency. We respectfully submit that this is the most important matter for you to ponder and face squarely in whatever reappraisal of government policy and practice you may be undertaking, as we hope you are.
Examining war begins with very general questions: What is war? How can it be defined? And what causes war? Moreover, what are the relationships between Eritrea and war?
Let’s look at the definition of war first: Cicero defines war broadly as "a contention by force"; others say that war is the continuation of politics by violent means … in other words, when politics fails then war ensues. And the Oxford Dictionary expands the definition to include "any active hostility or struggle between living beings; a conflict between opposing forces or principles."
Eritrea has lived under wartime conditions for decades. I think that sort of life has changed the predisposition of our people. I am sure that applies to our neighboring countries as well. Anyway, it seems our attitudes towards matters of war and peace is somewhat different, perhaps worrying. First of all, Eritrea has never known real peace except during the 1991-1998 time frame. Now, considering the absence of peace, that is to say, the extended exposure to decades of war, do you think that has given rise to a shift in the ways our people think of war? Well, hold the thought. We will come back to this subject, but first let’s listen to the News.
A young business student said she believed that for a state like Eritrea, land was worth more than anything.
But diplomats and independent observers in the capital are saying that Eritrea might not have a choice.
One observer said it would be better for Eritrea to accept sooner rather than later the fact that Ethiopia has got the territories it wants.

Ethiopian & Eritrean Friendship Forum (EEFF) is holding its fourth annual conference on March 24th, 2012. Building on last year’s success, this year’s theme is "Healing Past Wounds -- Building Our Future Together", a critical idea to focus on in this increasingly competitive global economy.
We are sending this announcement to the wider Ethiopian and Eritrean community for two reasons:
- to invite as many people as possible to attend the conference. Be part of the solution!
- to invite thought leaders to share their views as panelists.

The demonstration called by Mr. Kyriakakos et.al is not an isolated incident. Even though on the surface it appears that it was in reaction to the WFP articles, but none the less it is not. It was part and parcel of the series of demonstrations and seminars that suddenly erupted in the month of December 2011 called “Hizbawi Mekete” (National Rebuff) to object the sanctions on Eritrea that was being debated at the UNSC and show to the international community that the Eritrean government enjoys the full support of its people. The instruction to demonstrate and hold public meetings and seminars was issued by the office of Mr. Yemane Gebreab, political advisor to the President of Eritrea and in charge of the “Hizbawi Mekete”.

As in previous years, we call on the Diaspora communities living in the free world that have chosen to be silent in the face of oppression and the ever growing injustice committed against the Eritrean people to fight for the people's rights. We remind you that you are morally obliged and duty bound to speak for the Eritrean people and to stand-up against injustice. We remind you the freedom that you enjoy are the outcomes of sacrifices paid by people who believed in liberty, freedom, justice and democracy. So, why don’t you demand for the Eritrean people the same civil rights that you are relishing? We encourage you to be part of the struggle for democratic change?
