A young, visionary and energetic Eritrean youngster (MeronSemedar) took part in the 36thSan Francisco Marathon, that took place in Oakland on the eve of Martyr’s day.

Meron was running with an Eritrean flag and a banner on his hand and the banner reads: “Democracy, Freedom and Liberty in Eritrea”. When we asked Meron what motivated him to take part on such a noble cause, he said he was motivated by the continuously deteriorating conditions of human rights and oppression in Eritrea.”

Since the event took place one day before Martyr’s day, Meron articulated that: “Since the hopes of our martyrs are betrayed by the dictatorial regime in Eritrea, I also wanted to assure our Martyrs that one day their dreams will come true”

Being chosen as one of the best young People of Africa for Change, Meron also represented the Eritrean Democracy seekers in two big international events (One Young World and the Unuted Nations Annual Youth Assembly)

Meron alluded that his participation in the Marathon has symbolic significance in a way that the movement for change is slow among Eritreans and we must all run as fast as we can so that we can change the human right situation in the country once and for all. According to Meron: “you dont need to be an athlete to run for the cause of your people”.

“Officials reported 7,400 competitors on Sunday, up from around 7,000 last year. An additional 12,700 participated in the accompanying two half marathons, a 5-kilometer race and a children’s race – with overall numbers down slightly from last year.” and the 7,400 includes our hero Meron Semedar.

Meron was an active member of the Eritrean Movement for Democracy and Human Rights (EMDHR) in South Africa until he relocated to the United States of America recently.

    I am kind of curious that how many people appreciate Meron for what he is doing and at the same time they clap for Z. Taddesse. He had many chances to leave the dictator.
    I would say Meron is a hero but I can’t say the same to Z. Taddesse.

    This guy is in deep shit with his asylum case & is trying to improve his case by doing a manifesto like this one. I don’t believe for a minute that his motive is any sincere…

    Mihretab you are one idiot individual talking about asylum it is a pity to see one ignorant Mercenary Questioning a genuine Person’s noble action the Good thing is No one will sink to your level of stupidity

    @ Mehreteab Vegas: You are clearly blinded by PFDJ and will never take any action at its face value. Anything said or done about democracy and justice in Eritrea is motivated supported by Weyane according to your retarded and rested way of thinking.

    This is just a run for good cause. People run for cancer or heart stroke and this guy is running for democracy in Eritrea. But for you ill minded taxi driver from Vegas it is a conspiracy. Shame on you…..
