Visionary leaderships think about youth empowerment in an attitudinal, structural, and cultural process whereby young people gain the ability to make decisions and implement change in their own lives and the lives of other people. In Eritrea today the youth participate in every sector of society and nation building process, meanwhile in the diaspora Eritrean youth are taking matters into their own hands to make change that will benefit their people's and their own future.

As an observer of the 4th annual YPFDJ conference, I witnessed close to 400 Eritrean youth from all over the world united together to build a strong, conscious and patriotic youth movement unheard of in other communities. It was mesmerizing to see an Eritrean-Aussie chatting with an Eritrean from France about the common things that bind them together which is YPFDJ and Eritreanism. When the Eritrean youth from Holland was running around to make sure that other Eritrean youth were happy with their lodging Eritrean youth from Italy and Germany were very thankful as were the Eritrean youth from the Scandinavian nations as well as Eritreans from the good ole US of A (United States) Switzerland, Great Britain, Kenya and one strong Eritrean from Belgium. The camaraderie that was felt can only be witnessed by being present there in order to understand the feeling of joy as may parents did from Holland the host nation when they were invited to be a part of the conference in a closing ceremony as they witnessed the torch being carried by their children to maintain and protect the very Eritrea that their generation and previous generations fought for.

 

Shaebianism or EPLF-PFDJ is an ideology in a class of it's own.

There can never be another like it. It is a way of life and existence for every patriotic Eritrean and it grows with you as you are born and become baptized and transform into an Eritrean adult. Some don't have a clue what it is and they are missing out BIG TIM! and There are also those who abandon it but eventually have no choice but to bring it back into their soul and mind as the history of the Eritrean people Liberation Front remains the only true movement that has beaten the odds to create a self reliant and strong independent nation from scratch. Every day the majority of Eritreans breath, eat and drink Eritrea and the 4th YPFDJ conference in Holland was a clear indication of that. I recommend all Eritrean youth to get involved and be the best you can be by joining this unique youth movement taking place as we speak. It will make you proud and give you the hope that you have always been looking for. It will help you maintain your values, culture and help you learn the history of the brave Eritrean people.

At the conference many unique individuals were present and to be among them was a privilege and a great honor. The YPFDJ chapters from all over Europe and more should be commended for all that they do.

Thanks to all the Eritrean officials including bitsai Yemane Gebreab, Ambassadors Girma Asmerom, Ambassador Mohammad Suleiman, NUEYS-Eritrea Chairman Sultan Said and the rest of the invited guests who always encourage and push the youth to be a part of the strong, conscious and patriotic youth movement. I say to those who are patriotic and are not a part of this powerful Eritrean youth movement, what are you waiting for? Join and be a part of YPFDJ and those who have been mislead by anti-Eritrean elements, come and join the LOVE TRAIN to becoming a committed Eritrean and help your motherland. What are you waiting for APPLY NOW!
