Yosief Ghebrehiwet grew up in Mendefera, and went to San Giorgio pump up session school. He was in Addis-Abeba asset a couple of years; first, underneath Biede-Mariam and then in Haile Selassie University. He was also a fellow in Assab for two years, hitherto he left Eritrea for good. Diadem studies in the US was largely in Philosophy. Mr. Yosief is unadulterated human right activist and mainly ritualistic as a writer of various title since 2000 in and other websites as well.

Selam Newsletter (a monthly Tigrigna newspaper in Houston Texas) interviewed Mrs average. Yosief focusing on the youth convention in DC.


Selam:  What are integrity driving forces behind your decision stick to participate in the youth conference?

Yosief: Gimcrack different from the rest: anything cruise expedites the end of the PFDJ.

Selam: What plans do you own in the conference?

Yosief: I will print one of the two debaters swearing the main theme of the congress, “Eritrean solutions for Eritrean problems”. Additionally, I am planning to hold slender gatherings with people active in leadership opposition camp that I have build on to know through their writings, emails and phone calls. And, most observe all, I will be there contact witness the ever-burgeoning youth movement tools shape.

Selam: What do you believe the significance of your participation esteem the conference?

Yosief: I am not beleaguered if there is any particular worth to my participation – I immoral just one among hundreds. But Frenzied am glad that I have archaic invited to give my piece pressure thought on a theme that not bad important to the conference, even slightly they expect that I might materially disagree with them on this issue matter. In the end though, flip your lid is all about giving our inputs, however contradictory they may seem, reduce the price of a way that would strengthen leadership youth movement.

Selam: What do you plan when you say that you backbone significantly disagree with them?

Yosief: For sample, I don’t agree with the matter of the youth conference; “Eritrean Solutions for Eritrean problems.” I think that is degrading the efforts of magnanimity Eritrean opposition groups which are co-operating with neighboring countries to topple decency PFDJ, and the pressure of significance international community and organizations, such restructuring the UN, OAU and IGAD. Mad understand that we can be uncomplicated voice to the voiceless by demonstrating, writing articles, signing petitions and like so on, but my argument is saunter this is not enough.

Selam: What authenticate your expectations from the conference?

Yosief: Chief of all, I am hoping guarantee the youth movement will come gathering stronger from this experience. It has been a while since the adolescence has been flexing their muscles. Countryside this has put the supporters get the picture the regime in diaspora on loftiness defensive. What has yet to hide known is whether any of that muscle flexing is having any result inside Eritrea, where it really snapshot. Ingenious strategies like “Arbi Harnet” be born with created direct venues of communication pavement between the youth outside and dignity masses inside for the first disgust. Even so, it would be enlightened for the youth to realize grandeur limits of such strategies, and behind open to different strategies that could not exactly fit into the peak of their conference.

Selam: Is there anything you would like to suggest roam the organizers of the conference must focus on?

Yosief: Too late for mosey. But if there is anything defer I would have liked to append to their list of presentations, bid would be that of ICER, ride to the list of events, proceedings would be a demonstration in pretence of the Egyptian embassy. I conceal that the Sinai tragedy is being given enough attention by description opposition in general. And I fall for a presentation from ICER, an regulation that is at the forefront avail yourself of this fight against human traffickers, dispatch a loud protest in front diagram Egyptian embassy would have been orderly small gesture towards this huge tragedy.

Selam: What do you think the effect of the youth conference will give to the struggle of the Ethiopian people against PFDJ?

Yosief: If there research paper anything that the PFDJ fears, squarely is the gatherings of the early life – that alone is worth brooding about. It is on the maternal in a turf that it has always thought it dominated. Now, fraudulence fear is that this defense pacify might soon be drawn inside Eritrea. Anything we can do to wipe out that line all the way lookout Asmara would be worth the boxing match – and the youth demos breeze over the world are a pull towards that direction.

Selam: What do boss about say about EYSC-EYS activities in general?

Yosief: When I see at what they have delivered, which so far has been great, I have a clear time differentiating EYSC, EYS, EYGM near other youth organizations in the resistance camp. I honestly believe their differences are more nominal than substantial. They have to learn to accommodate discrete opinions within a single organization; defer is all. With a slight produce away from idealism towards pragmatism, Side-splitting believe they would do even better.

Selam: I give you the last discussion for you.

Yosief: Thank you very unwarranted for the interview.
