#FestivalSeason: Annual Festival of the Eritrean Community in Canada held in Toronto on the weekend.
Opening ceremony presided by Ambassador Sophia Tesfamariam with attendance of Representatives of various organizations; Community Elders; and Religious Leaders.
Various activities held under overarching themes of: further consolidation of the community's cohesiveness and harmony; strengthening of cultural identity; as well as enhancement of greater mobilization and organizational development.
Chairman of the Organizing Committee, Mr. Temesgen Tirfe, underlined crucial role of the Festivals in transferring cherished societal values to future generations.
Tampering with sovereignty of nations, the AU Constitutive Act, the UN Charter, and established international norms, including the sanctity of colonial boundaries, is to undermine the very foundation of peace and stability in Africa and beyond.
A dangerous slippery slope! đ¨

Interesting Read - Afro Verse: Where Eritrean Heritage Meets Virtual Reality; by Kesete Gebrehiwet
*"...Afro Verse is ...an AI-powered virtual reality (VR) platform developed by three Eritrean developers that have spent nearly five years turning an idea about cultural preservation into an immersive digital experience".
*"...The software, currently in its first demo version, was introduced to the public on 27 August at the conference hall of the National Confederation of Eritrean Workers in an inaugural event sponsored by Warsa Enterprises PLC. The gathering brought together technology professionals, cultural enthusiasts and invited guests to see the demonstration, discuss the project and offer suggestions for its next stage of development".
*"...Afro Verse is intended to be an open-source platform. The developers do not envision the project as a product that belongs exclusively to its original creators. Their intention is to make the software accessible to interested developers who, with the necessary permission, can contribute to its development and expand its applications".
*"...Afro Verse currently begins with a digital representation of Tigrinya cultural heritage, but its creators hope it will grow into something much larger - a platform where Eritrean history and culture can be experienced, studied and developed by generations to come. ... For Afro Verse, the inaugural event may have marked not the completion of a five-year journey, but the beginning of its next chapter".

Reality is stubborn!
