A delegation of the Eritrean People's Democratic Party (EPDP) headed by Party Chairman Menghesteab Asmerom, met on 21 October 2015 in Stockholm with the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and briefed them on the ever worsening political, economic and social situation in Eritrea, further highlighting that the sole cause of the dangerous crisis in Eritrea is the repressive regime and its erroneous policies.

The delegation, that consisted of Mr. Rezene Tesfazion, EPDP Executive Committee member in charge of the finance office, and accompanied by a Swedish friend of Eritrea, Mr. Carl Lindberg, emphasized that there will never be a correction of the ongoing societal and state breakdown in Eritrea unless the oppressive regime is replaced by a democratic system that can guarantee the prevalence of the rule of law and respect of political and human rights of the people.

Speaking about the distressing situation of Eritrean refugees in the Horn of Africa region and other countries, the EPDP delegation hoped Sweden would lead effective international and regional support to those refugees facing very critical circumstances.

The delegation also seized the opportunity of highlighting activities of the EPDP and its relations with fraternal parties and governments and its repeated requests to extend support to the struggle of Eritreans for democratic change in their country.

On their party, the concerned officials affirmed their close follow up developments affecting Eritrea and its people and hoped a durable solution could be found to give peace, justice and prosperity to the affected people.
