The Coat of arms of Eritrea was adopted 24 May 1993 on the occasion of the declaration of our independence. The emblem mainly depicts a camel surrounded by a wreath of laurel. In fact it shows a scene of a dromedary camel in the desert, which is surrounded by an olive wreath. The camel was the animal of load used during the war of independence to transport supplies and goods, and was seen as being instrumental to the movement's success by Eritrean liberation fighters. The name of the country appears on a scroll towards the bottom of the emblem threefold, in Tigrinya, English and Arabic, of course these being the working languages of the country.
Oral poetry is poetry that is composed of unwritten materials verbally transmitted. The complex relationships between written and spoken literature in some societies can make this definition hard to maintain. Oral poetry is sometimes considered to include any poetry which is performed live. In many cultures, oral poetry overlaps with, or is identical with, song. Meanwhile, although the term oral etymologically means 'to do with the mouth', in some cultures oral poetry is also performed by other means, such as talking drums in some African cultures. Oral poetry exists most clearly within oral cultures, but it can survive, and indeed flourish, in highly literate cultures.
Freedom is measured in so many ways. It could be translated in different ways for every individual. It may mean having the ability to come and go as you please with no accountability to another, or to make your own decisions about what you want. Could be small steps or bigger and larger steps, but every kind will represent all the different types of freedom, as does taking the liberty to speak your mind and think your thoughts without fear of consequence. But never the less we shouldn’t forget that true freedom means you can run towards something you want but it doesn’t mean running away from something.
Music playing a vital role in the Eritrean struggle for independence is not only recognized by Eritreans ourselves but also well documented by foreign authors and institutions: used as part of the armory of resistance by the liberation forces.
A good singer is the one with good vocal technique, a large vocal range, as well as feeling the song through emotional language and technique, and also acting to provide a song with meaning. People, who want a career in singing, should start young. This means having lots of experience in music, including being able to read music and learning to perform music with other people.

As my college beautifully explained how May 1st was celebrated here in Eritrea I felt I should write a bit about the origins and tradition of the International Workers Day. The International Workers Day also known as May 1st is an annualholiday to celebrate the achievements of workers. Labor Day has its origins in the labor union movement, specifically the eight-hour day movement, which advocated eight hours for work, eight hours for recreation, and eight hours for rest.
