Strathink readers are calling for more information on the Eritrean President’s health as well as steps to be taken by the international community to help Eritreans develop a smooth transition of power in a post-Isayas Eritrea. We are doing our best to keep our readers up-to-date.
One organization, the Felsberger Institute located in Germany, is responding to a request from members of the Eritrean diaspora to arrange a meeting of opposition groups and representatives from civil society. The meeting will begin on November 13-15 in Frankfurt and the topics will include: 1) State structure, relationship between ethnic groups, dealing with the PFDJ, the role of religion in government and society; 2) land issues; 3) education and language policies; 4) economy; and 5)regional security, the army and relationship to neighboring states.
The Felsberg Institute for Education and Academic Research is a registered non-profit organisation established in July 2008. The goal of the association is “to stimulate and support academic research, to start educational initiatives and to create opportunities for people to meet. Through the association’s activities centred on critical thinking, tolerance and creative exercises, we aim to encourage and develop solidarity, an international ethos and intercultural understanding.”
We are posting here a copy of the invitation letter sent by the Felsberger Institute to invitees.
