At this euphoric,emotional day [and Eritreans are well known and notorious for their boundless emotionality ]It would be crazy for someone to question >>>> “WHAT INDEPENDENCE?” But then since the “celebration” is being done in Bergen, Norway — a land of Liberty, Freedom of Expression, and Justice — it would be OK to express an opinion. On the other hand, if Eritreans want to have FESTIVITY instead of a DAY of REMEMBRANCE for those 300, 000 lost souls and the countless Eritreans youth still struggling today to survive all around the Globe, so be it. History shall remember.
do you mean the “slavery and shameful day”.The dictator had the pie and enjoying it but he gave certificate of recognition for the dead and you proudly hanged(posted) it on your house wall for helping him achieve his dream and those who are live also get certificate that says the dictator owns them forever and can sell them at any time. keep celebrate for your demise.
I do understand that the marketers are marketing the celebration for commercial purposes and the zombies who attend have a chronic disease called ዛር (ZAR) and its temporary medicine (ፈዉሱ ኸኣ) is called ሙጉራዕ (Mugura). what I am sick of is the zombies who are attending to have fun on the grave of our brothers, sisters ,mothers and fathers then the next day when boat or sinai tragedy occur they pretend that they care. Go on celebrate ኣጉርዑ the “Misery” day and you called it independence day.
what independece days celebration, without having freedom . guys try to use your mind. the whole eritrea is in edge of disappearing from the world and you keep dancing wow zegrim iu.

I was delighted to read your comments. And I thought perhaps you could make HISTORY; a pride to yourself and compatriots; and deservedly to beautiful Bergen, Norway – your magnanimous adopted country.
My humble suggestion
1. AGREE to Dedicate 20th of May as a Memorial Day to all the Eritrean people who sacrificed their precious Lives for the pursuit of Freedom, Justice and Equality
2. ESTABLISH , immediately, an ad hoc group (not more than nine) to bring Item 1 to fruition
3. AGREE that the First Memorial Day be the 20th of May 2014 [regardless of the number of initiators]
4. AGREE to establish ERITREAN CIVIC GROUP of Bergen, Norway
5. AGREE that the Ad Hoc Working Group be entrusted for the development of the objectives, administrative arrangements, rules and regulations, etc for the Civic Group.
6. AGREE that the collection of voluntary contribution at the FIRST Memorial Day be used as a platform for the beginning of the Civic Group
Civic Groups representing the entire community can play effective and healthy roll: strengthening the relationship of the community; becomes effective representative of the community to the local government; providing social activities, modest library [call it reading room]; cultural education for children, sport for young and adults; be a focal point for many other services. The advantage is endless. Let me add: If you do your part, I have absolutely no doubt that your Norwegian local government would fully cooperate with you to make your honest project a success. I admit, I have a soft heart for the Scandinavian people.
Finally, a successful Civic Community in beautiful Bergen, Norway can be an example and catalyst to all Diaspora Eritreans around the Globe. Let us not sneer at the idea. Everything begins from a scratch.
Crucial Note
If the above suggestion proved to be IMPOSSIBLE on account of RELIGION, TRIBALISM, RACISM and other cancerous parochial matters, then “ERITREA” has NO HOPE of becoming a viable nation- state. NEVER! In that scenario, external force(s) will determine the fate of “Eritreans”, as always.
Respectfully yours
