An Open Letter to Mr. Jimmy Carter

10.06.2005

 

Dear President:

 

Please, accept our greetings.

 

It was with surprise and dismay that we at the ELF-RC received your statement in your Ethiopian trip report of 19 May 2005 in which you said, inter alia, that: “After Meles [Zenawi] prevailed in 1991 and despite my concerns about Eritrean leadership, he granted Eritrea complete independence in 1993, cutting Ethiopia off from the Red Sea and making it the most populous landlocked nation in the world.”          

 

Dear Mr. Carter, it is sad that you volunteered to touch issues that went well beyond your mission of observing an election; issues that concern another sovereign country; namely, Eritrea and Eritreans.

 

In this statement, we read an attempt to deny an already accomplished right of the Eritrean people for self-determination and national independence. In other words, we find your comment to be an uncalled for encouragement to Ethiopian chauvinist forces to go ahead with their wrong stance of opposition to Eritrea’s deserved accession to independent statehood; your message, in subtle contradiction to the efforts of the UN and other regional organisations, would amount to a call for the renewal of hostilities between the two countries.

 

Genuine friends of the Eritrean and Ethiopian peoples believe that the path taken by the EPRDF government in regard to the Eritrean cause was correct and historical. For us Eritreans, independence was something inevitable because of our determination to bring it about at very high costs. It was not a gift from anyone. Independence was what the small Eritrean nation wanted to enjoy and finally seized it against all heavy challenges.

 

It is important to be fully aware of the fact that between 1941 and 1991, Eritrea and Ethiopia witnessed a costly struggle that deprived peace, prosperity and stability to the two fraternal peoples. There were high prospects of peaceful and prosperous co-existence of the two peoples after 1991 were it not to the destructive behaviour of a deranged militarist leader in Eritrea. Still, it is our strong conviction that Eritrea and Ethiopia will live in good neighbourliness, peace and prosperity when the whimsical dictator in Asmara is removed and replaced by a democratic government of the people.

 

With best regards,

Tekle Melekin
