Patriotic Ginbot 7-Movement for Unity and Democracy, has been honored at the 2018 Eritrean Festival for its unique contributions to building bridges and harmony between both communities.
Receiving the award and recognition at the weekend in Washington DC, Prof. Berhanu Nega, Chairman of Patriotic Ginbot 7, said that the restoration of peace between Eritrea and Ethiopia is not only crucial to the two countries but also to the entire Horn of Africa sub-region. He noted that the main beneficiaries of peace in the two countries are the poor that aspire to develop and conquer poverty.
Speaking at a panel held on the sideline of the festival, Neamin Zeleke, Executive Committee and Head of External affairs of Patriotic Ginbot 7 told the gathering that the two decade-long “walls that separated the two people are blown away by a sudden wave of fraternal love and hope for a promising future.”
Ginbot 7 is an armed resistance movement hailing from the Amhara region of Ethiopia. The group was recently removed from the terror list by the new Ethiopian Prime Minister along with the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) and Oromo Liberation Front (OLF)
