Eritrea: 30th Independence Day Anniverary Throughout the Nation and Diaspora

29 May 2021 Shabait.com (Asmara) By Mikal Tesfay

Eritrea's Independence Day Anniversary celebrated on May 24, is one of the most important chapters in Eritrea's history. After three decades of fierce struggle against, the then, one of Africa's strongest armies, the valiant Eritrean liberation fighters triumphantly captured Eritrea's capital, Asmara, thus heralding the total liberation of the country.

Besides, this day has a special meaning to every Eritrean because the nation's right to independence and self-determination was denied by the superpowers through federation and later, annexation. Eritrea's independence was not given in a silver platter; it demanded heavy sacrifice. It was independence brought through pure determination, immeasurable sacrifice, unabated commitment, patriotism, and unparalleled courage. Hence, Eritrea's Independence Day in every corner of the country and abroad is celebrated in a patriotic zeal, in which Eritreans inside and outside the country depict the heroic feats of our fighters. For this reason, the 30th Independence Day anniversary was colorfully celebrated in all the six regions of the country and diaspora under the theme "Resilient as Ever".
