We demand freedom, justice, and the right to choose our own path. #BlueRevolution#Eritrea#TransnationalRepression#NoMorePFDJTerror
States that genuinely invest in sports and athletics are, in reality, investing in the future of their youth and, by extension, in the long-term project of nation-building. Sports are not merely recreational activities; they are platforms for discipline, identity, unity, and international representation. When properly supported, they empower young people, nurture talent, and create opportunities that benefit both individuals and the nation as a whole.
In contrast, the PFDJ regime has consistently undermined these very principles. Instead of fostering an environment where young people can grow, excel, and pursue their ambitions, it has worked tirelessly to demoralize and suppress Eritrean youth. Aspiring athletes have seen their dreams crushed, not because of a lack of talent or determination, but because of systemic repression. Many young Eritreans are forced to spend their most productive years not in training grounds or classrooms, but in trenches, military camps, or prisons, as part of a broader system that prioritizes control over development.
The regime does not cultivate talent—it exploits it. Those Eritreans who have managed to achieve recognition, whether from within the country under extremely difficult conditions or from the diaspora, have often succeeded despite the system, not because of it. Athletes like Biniam Girmay, for example, have had to navigate and overcome a deeply unconducive environment to reach the international stage. Yet, once they achieve success, the same system that failed to support them attempts to claim their accomplishments for its own image.
As for members of the diaspora who choose to join the national team, it is undoubtedly their right to do so. However, the very concept of individual rights—especially the freedom to choose—is not something that is meaningfully recognized or practiced within Eritrea itself. While participation in the national team may be framed as patriotism, it is also important to acknowledge that, for many, this is not their first or only choice. In some cases, joining the national team may serve as a strategic move to enhance their careers, gain visibility, or build their professional profiles.
Ultimately, the situation reflects a broader contradiction: a state that publicly celebrates national pride and athletic success, while systematically dismantling the very foundations needed for youth development, freedom, and genuine achievement.

L’Erythrée est l’une des dictatures les plus brutales au monde. Cette "fête" est un cheval de Troie: propagande, collecte illégale de fonds, intimidation politique. Genève ne doit pas devenir une scène de manipulation autoritaire.

Keine Bühne für eritreische Diktaturpropaganda in Genf
Die Veranstaltung wird unter dem Motto „Our Cohesion: Our Armour“ beworben ein bekannter Slogan des eritreischen Regimes und zeigt eindeutig Symbole, Inhalte und Persönlichkeiten, die dem autoritären Staat nahestehen.
Diese sogenannte Feier dient nicht der freien kulturellen Entfaltung oder dem friedlichen Austausch, sondern ist Teil eines gezielten Versuchs des eritreischen Regimes, seine Propaganda in der Diaspora zu verbreiten und oppositionelle Stimmen zu unterdrücken.

Ein solches Event in der Schweiz zu organisieren, während viele Eritreer*innen im Exil gegen das Regime protestieren, wirkt widersprüchlich. Es spiegelt nicht den Willen der Diaspora wider, sondern eher den Versuch, regimetreue Narrative in Europa zu verbreiten. #BlueRevolution
