ImageAsmara, 5 January 2008 – Eritrean religious leaders informed the visiting Mr. Donald Payne, Member of the House of Representatives in the US Congress, that Eritrea is a country where all where all religions coexist in harmony.

 

 

ImageIn a meeting with the US Congressman, the Eritrean Mufti, Sheik Al-Amin Osman, explained that Eritrea is a nation in which the Islamic and Christian faiths have been and are still coexisting in harmony for ages. Indicating that colonialists had left no stone unturned to divide the Eritrean people along religious lines right from the ancient times, Sheik Al-Amin stated that such futile attempts ended in utter failure thanks to the Eritrean people’s firm unity.

ImageSimilarly, His Holiness Abune Dioskoros, 4th Patriarch of the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahdo Church, explained that in view of the Eritrean people’s firm adherence to their religious faith, there exists no problem, and hence live in peace and harmony.

Also outlining the historical introduction of the Christian faith to Eritrea, Abune Mengisteab Tesfamariam, Bishop of the Eritrean Catholic Church, pointed out that no problem exists in Eritrea as regards religious faith and that the Eritrean Catholic Church carries out educational and health activities in collaboration with the government.

ImageBoth the Reverend Simon Gebremeskel, Vice President of the Eritrean Evangelical Church, and the Reverend Fissehaye Estifanos, Secretary General of the same church, also asserted: “We enjoy religious freedom” and as such, followers of the Evangelical Church coexist in harmony with followers of the other faiths.

ImageMeanwhile, Congressman Donald Payne met and held talks with Foreign Minister Osman Saleh on regional issues. Besides, he visited the Orotta School of Medicine and observed its activities. The Congressman also held discussions with the 4th and 5th year students of the School.

Following these meetings, Mr. Donald Payne told ERINA that he was impressed with the achievements Eritrea has registered in the health sector in general and in reducing child mortality rate, as well as prevention of malaria infection in particular.

"kindey Aqueb zeyTereTna," said the ass. Kindey ke zeytewereye! Paranoid schizophrenics have all this feeling of persecution. Unless the individuals have done something against the interest of the nation, such as leading the youth to abandon their responsiblities and encouraging them to flee the country, I believe, no body would care what you believe in, Evangelican Christian or otherwise.

Grow up. Don't look at things just under your nose. Grow up. Don't judge Eritrea's achievements on Dr. Fitsum's term. Do you know for sure what the good Dr. might have done against the interest of Eritrea's well being? Dr. Fitsum cannot be the dipstick of Eritrea's destiny. Broaden your view from the point of long term Eritrea's position and its people's achievements. The struggle continues for the good reason, Aweta! It's just a matter of time before you could see the fruit of the struggle. At least, think of the struggle's achievement of harmony among all Eritreans defying Regionalism and religious extremism. The rest is a matter of time. Contrast and compare Eritrea against Kenya or Ethiohelloagain, then you can see the outcome of the struggle.
Happy New Year!

Etyohelloagain has come top ten in economic growth. Eritrea is lacking self esteem and coming out with papers that read 'Eritrea is a winner'. Only loosers will write such things.

Saleh and Awet, you talk a lot of s**t and I strongly recomend you that you do it in the washrooms. You are not a one-year old kid. You can't do this in public, man. I know you are trying to be generous with stinking f**king s**t to feed the flies but you know what, there are no flies on this web. Go to Nazret.com. or the garbage place if you don't like using the toile.I know they love it and they will be there to lick your ass. I bet you won't need a toilet paper to wipe you a**. Oh boy, I mean.. when are you, Saleh, gonna grow up, by the way? I mean look at you! Poor you, when I look at men like you I now know why some women prefere dogs to men like you. I am not gonna put up with that smell. Here is my piece of advice for you. I am sure will make good use of it. I think you are consuming food that does not agree with your stomch; so it is for your own benefit that you see your dietitian. I hope he/she will recomend the right diet.

Eritrea is a country where people of all faith respects each other and live in harmony.
This has been for centuries. so what is the say?
Can we afford new born religions sent to eritrea by neo colonizers to disrupt social and religeous values we had for centuries.
No thanks no new religion!
