CHANGE IS GONNA COME IF NOT NOW WHEN?! THE SPARK OF 21st JANUARY 2013

The spark  lit on 21st January  2013 at FORTO, the Eritrean Ministry of Information, has lit the biggest ever fire of hope  for  all the communities, political parties, faith groups , youth associations, women’s networks , elderly centres, civic societies,  and social networks in the Eritrean diaspora.

 

Like the  Olympic  torch, passing from one place to the next, across villages, towns and cities, the Eritrean spark also has  its own distinctive life in almost all the main cities of America, Canada, Australia, Africa, the Middle East and Europe.  Each spark was ignited by the collective force of the dream of change, from Totalitarian rule to Democracy; and the banners and posters at the demonstrations were the same, “DOWN … DOWN  …. DICTATOR”.   Loud and Clear!!!!  CHANGE! CHANGE! CHANGE!!!  ENOUGH IS ENOUGH !!  NOTHING LESS THAN DEMOCRATIC  CHANGE!!!

 

This burst of flame has  significantly  revived the Eritrean revolutionary spirit ,  passion and energy,  inspiring  three generations  of Eritreans  abroad  to coordinate their resources  and  consolidate their solidarity with their  families  at  home,  to connect with the Eritrean Defence forces who started it all, and  enlighten  the world communities  who  have  been observing this dramatic  explosion  in silence. “Let us all join hands.”

HOPE

Change is what we are going through.  A constructive change is what we are working on.  We can do it! No doubt! But only if the democratic forces for change both within and outside the country can join hands.  At the same time, we need to understand the barriers that the dictator has built to divide us, and plan how to destroy them, to crush the walls erected even within families by this evil regime in order to control and isolate people, and to annihilate all such divisive systems, structures, mechanisms, ideologies and thoughts.

CHANGE

Now let us be determined to sustain what we have already achieved, and march forward to liberate our people. 

 

A Change is Gonna Come!

By Sam Cooke (1963)

 

I was born by the river,

In a little tent,

And just like the river,

I have been running ever since,

It’s been long, long time coming

But I know a change going to come

Oh, YES IT WILL

 

 

 

 

There’s  been times that I thought

I wouldn’t last long

But now I think I ‘m able to carry on

It has been a long, long time coming

But I know a change is gonna come

Oh, YES IT WILL!
