Martyrs Day is Independence Day!

By Amanuel Biedemariam

Every breath A path to a new life A path to clear air Clear air we all seek, needed, aspired and worked for A breath A breath that started a path A path to struggle Struggle for freedom Freedom for destiny Freedom for all Freedom from self and a path to selflessness Every breath, united United… To push mountains aside To step forward United… To breathe fire in need To fight fire Breathed! Breath of honor A last breath that mushroomed Mushroomed to grace us… Grace of freedom With proud memories Memories… To anchor Anchor the foundation Foundation of independent Eritrea! Wetru Awet N Hafash! Zelalemawi Zkri N Swa-atna!

  1. YES LONG LIVE JUNE 20.
    The day which remind us our homework on our shoulders: Democratic, Constitutional and Transparent country.

    GOD BLESS ERITREA and ITS PEOPLE!!

  2. On this day of 20th June, we are honored to remember our fallen martyrs who gave their most prized possession of life, life itself, so we can have a land to call our own. These young brave souls fought tooth and nail against tyranny never to cherish their hard struggle but left a thundering responsibility for the generations to come. They assured us with their blood that when its comes to your land and people, everything else is a distant second.They did not settle for anything but freedom! Freedom was achieved because of all their sacrifices. The candle I lit today is in their honor until June 20 comes around next year, it will stay Lit in my heart.

    Zelalemawi Kibrin, Zikrin, Mogesen Nisiwat Jeganuna!

  43. This day is a day that stands out more for Eritreans than any other day of the year. It is a powerful commemoration where we honor our fallen heroes and heroines who laid the lives in sacrifice for an Independent Eritrea. My words here are nothing but an attempt to give my thanks with all that i can give when what they have given is much more than i can envelope with a few lines. The pride I feel is trapped by a vocabulary, if defined well, dwarfs the volumes of all the literature in the world. Thankyou Deki Eritrea!
    Zelalemawi Zikri Nis’watna.
