Eritrea: Letter of Appeal to the Italian Government

Immagine
  To prof. Mario Draghi,   Prime Minister   p.c. on. Luigi Di Maio,   Foreign Minister   Dear President,   let's write to you again, on behalf of the Habeshia agency, after the appeal letter we sent to your predecessor on the eve of his trip to Asmara three years ago. This year 30th anniversary of independence, but another year of severe suffering and abuse suffered by the Eritrean people. And of great disappointment - yet another disappointment - for those who hoped that the signing of the peace treaty with Ethiopia, after twenty years of war, would finally set our country on the road to freedom and democracy. We want to start from an episode that happened just in these days.

Questo anno 30° anniversario di indipendenza, ma un altro anno di gravi sofferenze e soprusi subiti dal popolo eritreo. E di grande delusione – l’ennesima delusione – per chi sperava che la firma del trattato di pace con l’Etiopia, dopo vent’anni di guerra, avviasse finalmente il nostro Paese sulla strada della libertà e della democrazia. Vogliamo partire da un episodio accaduto proprio in questi giorni. Come certamente sa, il regime ha chiuso e preso possesso di nove scuole, più sette scuola già presi nel 2019 gestite da organizzazioni religiose, in maggioranza cattoliche ma anche cristiane protestanti e islamiche. Scuole completamente gratuite, frequentate dai ragazzi delle famiglie più povere ed emar
