A Productive Youth: the Foundation of CivilizationThe core foundation of the existence of a society being the economic sector; its survival also depends on the production system employed by that society. And, even though the factors that drive and contribute to progress are many, all of them are created by men, and especially the youth.

Our Youth, Guarantors of Our FutureThe Eritrean National Youth Festival will be held between the 16th and 18th of July 2010 in Sawa under the banner theme, Our Youth, Guarantors of our Future. A Commemoration That Reinforces Our Martyrs' TrustIt is a well documented fact that countless innocent Eritreans have been victimized by the barbarous policies of the Ethiopian colonizers and many have fallen prey to the policy of “drying the ocean to kill all the fi sh”. Starting from the day Eritreans decided to break the yokes of colonization to the day Eritrea became independent; Ethiopian colonizers did commit barbaric acts of murder and massacre against Eritreans. Martrydom: Honored Culture of EritreansSacrificing oneself so as others could enjoy a better life is a rich value and culture that can only be found in very few societies. It is actually hard to comprehend the existence of such an exalted practice that gave a priority to the need of others in a world that’s tainted by greed, superficiality as well as materialism. Nonetheless, this fact highlights the civilized immaculate culture we have. Putting oneself at risk and paying with your life on behalf of someone you love is a great sacrifice. And sacrificing oneself for the good of society and your people is something beyond comparison in the universe, let alone the world. The Congregation of the Youth in the Platform of Common DesireAny given nation belongs to the successive generations who live in it. And the sole purpose of any generation - or the one that either precede or follow it is to make sure the following generation’s way of life is made better. It is for this fact that parent’s care for their children without wanting any sort of compensation. They do it because they desire that their offspring are mentally and physically superior and allow them to lead a better life. It is also the duty of the society and government to encourage and assist in the development of the youth so as future generations will be responsible and able to lead better lives. Hence, the investment that family, societies and governments make in development programs such as educations and other things is for the benefit of the youth and particularly the coming generations. |
