Sights and sounds of Eritrean demonstration for “full peace” or “peace-with-justice” at Geneva on August 31, 2018. While welcoming the Eritrea-Ethiopia peace, the call is for peace with peace-dividend: constitutionalism, rule of law, transparency, accountability, respect for the dignity of the citizen, freeing our prisoners, demarcate our borders, assert our independence, and free our conscripted soldiers. Organizers/representatives were interviewed by Voice of America (start at the 8:45 mark); the demonstration was also covered by BBC Tigrinya and Aljazeera TV and others. Eritrea’s great artist Hussein Mohammed Ali has a timely music video (in Tigrayt) that describes what the demonstration is all about. Additional links/sources will be added on September 1 and the days to follow.
