EPDF calls on Eritrean opposition parties to unite in overthrowing Shaebia

Axum, December 19 (WIC)– Eritrean opposition parties should unite in the fight to overthrow the Shaebia government which is pushing the people to servitude and economic crisis, the Eritrean People Democratic Front (EPDF) said.

Presenting a report to the first assembly of the front that began in Axum town yesterday, EPDF Chairperson Tewolde Gerbeselasse said leaders of Shaebia are leading the Eritrean people to a dreadful socio-economic and political crisis by singing peace and liberty in order to meet their individual and collective interest.

The dictatorial government, through its belligerent policy, has kept away the youth from production, stripped of the human rights of the people and changed the country in to a big prison, he added.

As a result the dictatorial regime has lost support both at home and abroad and was long alienated from the international community, Tewolde said urging opposition parties to consolidate their unity and struggle to remove the regime.

Several invited Eritrean opposition parties and civic associations expressed their support for the conference.

Members and supporters of the front, civic associations and invited guests who came from various states of USA, Germany, Sweden, Sudan and other countries, are attending the three-day conference.
