The Moslem League of Eritrea at that time was determined to expand its power base by increasing its membership. Delegates of the party went to all parts of Eritrea, especially to those areas populated by majority Moslems. Kebire went places as a delegate for his party; and towards this end, he met with notable politicians of the period to achieve that goal. Eventually, this led to the foundation of the Mahber Fiqri Hager (Love of the Nation Club) which Kebire was one of its founding members. He served as the party’s vice chairman for five years.

Last week, the Ministry of Information assigned a band of journalists to cover the symposium of the southern section of the country that would take place in Mendefera from 16-18 of April, from whom I was one. For that matter, late morning Friday, I together with my colleagues set up our journey in a shining white coaster-minibus and headed our way towards the south of the capital of the country. We trekked on a smooth asphalt road past through the ancient capital city of the sea lords, Debarwa, and followed the road taking to the direction of the capital of the southern region, our final destination.

If there is ever a region that epitomizes the economic future of Eritrea, it’s the Northern Red Sea Region. A frenzied sprawl of 1 million people it’s the second largest region in Eritrea. It’s also a place where you will find six ethnic groups live together in harmony. At one recent colloquium conducted by the Administrator of the region it was explained the various economic developments and the exploitation of natural resources such as agriculture, fisheries, tourism and mining.
