WELCOME TO MESKEREM- THE FIRST ERITREAN OPPOSITION WEBSITE

ዜና news الأخبـــــار

meskerem 3-31-05: ECMS reports EDA goes to Addis to brief Ethiopian officials on the outcome of its meeting and to hold its next executive meeting while the UN warns of the danger of war.
EDA executive members (except EDP rep) are in Addis to meet and brief the Ethiopian officials of the outcome of their meetings, including the sharing of the yet to be declared charter. The EDA has not yet officially shared its charter with the Eritrean people.
The visit to Addis has created discomfort within the opposition camp on account of the fear of war between Ethiopia and Eritrea. In the report posted by ECMS, the Secretary General of EDA, Mr. Hussein Khalifa, accused the Eritrean government of "heading to the war ". Apparently, the leader of the Eritrean opposition chose not to call upon the Ethiopian government to pull its forces back from the border and to comply with the border ruling as requested by the Security Council. It is to be remembered that the EDA issued a generic statement on the border demarcation issue.

EDA Charter Leaked?
In an attempt to get a clarification on why the EDA Charter was not posted in official websites of EDA member organizations, meskerem asked five EDA member organizations if they have officially/formally received copies of the EDA charter for distribution to the public. All said that they have not officially received copies of the yet to be declared charter of the EDA. Those who responded did not know how or why the charter was posted by Awate and Eritreana websites. Is this an intentional leak to "test the waters" or just another leak carried in violation of the rules of the game? The public will soon find out.

EDA chairman believed to be an Ex-TPLF
meskerem 3-22-05: The current Chairman of the EDA, Mr. Berhane Yemane aka Hanjema, is believed to have joined and became a member of the TPLF ( the current dominant party in Ethiopia) after having been wounded and captured by TPLF during the joint attack of the ELF by EPLF and TPLF. He was treated for his wounds by the TPLF and allegedly joined the TPLF until the TPLF took over power in Ethiopia. He is believed to have been demobilized thereafter. Asked whether this is new information or why this is an issue at present, those who were/are close to the Chairman and his organization state that this is not new information but needs to be shared with the public as the public has the right to have a full and compete information of the countryman who is holding the highest office in the Eritrean opposition, the position of the chairman of the Eritrean Democratic Alliance, EDA.

PFDJ a chauvinist regime, says EDA Secretary General.
EDA in Kassala from GCI report: 3-16-05
EDA Secretary General in meeting with the public in Kasalla said that the aim of EDA is to "..replace the chauvinist* regime in Asmara.." (Report by GCI). The EDA still has not defined the regime politically creating confusion as to whether such statement might lean towards the ethno-centric definition of the regime as advocated by ethnic organizations. The media center that reported the news is now addressing the regime as a chauvinist regime. It seems that a new terminology is gradually being introduced . Proper political definition of the regime seems to be in order to clear any confusion as to whether the EDA considers the regime to be a chauvinistic* ethnic regime.

meskerem 3-16-05: Charter distribution to member organizations confirmed.
Meskerem has confirmed through reliable source that the charter has been given to member organizations and that members of these organizations have been discussing the charter for sometime. This contradicts with what the Secretary General of EDA stated in his interview with GIC on Marc 13, 2005. He said ,".. it will be published in the coming time. The delay of its publication is due to technical reasons of which, for instance, precision in translation is one."
