today, 5 February 2006, solemn memorial church services in Frankfurt,
Germany.
The memorial services were organized by
Martyr Seyoum’s family who sent invitations to all Eritrean political
and civil organizations in Frankfurt as well as to members of the
Eritrean community.
Among the participants at the church
services were Mr. Mesfin Hagos of EDP; Mr. Abdalla Adem of EPM; ELF-RC
leadership members including Mr. Woldeyesus Ammar; Mr. Assefaw Berhe;
Mr. Tesfai Woldemichael (Degiga) and many others.
The traditional church services known as
“Arba’a (held about 40 days after the sad event) in memory of Martyr
Seyoum were conducted in Tigrinia and Geez by two Eritrean priests of
the Orthodox Church at St. Mary’s Church in Dreieich, a suburb of
Frankfurt where the ELF-RC held its 1st annual Eritrea
Festival 21 years ago.
Memorial service participants later
proceeded to the Eritrea Center located inside metropolitan Frankfurt
where food and drinks were served by family members. |
