Eritrea was one of the 38 invited countries that took part in the commemoration of the 750 years old of the city of Wageningen located in the middle Rhine region of The Netherlands.
This historic city of Wageningen otherwise known as the City of Life Sciences due to its specialised plant and animal sciences institutions of higher education , is precisely 750 years old this month since it was accorded city right. Every year, the city also hosts a number of cultural/social festivals and WWII related commemorations including the Liberation Day of May 5 as the city was the site of surrender of the German forces in 1945.
During all these celebrations and historical events, community members of Netherlanders of Eritrean ancestry, proudly represented Eritrea with its exotic cuisine and traditional clothes which was most warmly well received.
