The Key To The Success Of The Eritrean People (PART X & FINAL)  
Self –Reliance In Eritrea, there are widely shared proverbs and sayings that indicate selfreliance is deeply rooted within the Eritrean society. Some of these proverbs indicate that those who expect something from others hardly get what they expect. There is also another commonly shared proverb which can be roughly translated as: a beggar is treated like a monkey. In short, such proverbs remind us that depending on others unnecessarily are a disgraceful act. The said proverbs also indicate that self-reliance is not a new (or a borrowed) concept in Eritrea; rather it is one of the most important heritages in the country. The message conveyed by these proverbs is that anybody (or for that matter a society) that fails to be self-reliant is unlikely to be strong and to have a strong base through the support of others. |
