Today was a very productive day at the 8th YPFDJ Conference hosted by
Toronto, Canada. YPFDJ broke up into four groups and each team was tasked
with coming up with the most critical factors of national development given
a situation similar to what Eritrea is currently facing. The overall
consensus among the groups was that national security was of utmost
importance. Alongside national security, the list included priorities such
as ideology, institutionalized democracy, food security and social justice.
This day provided an essential opportunity for YPFDJ members to use their
critical thinking skills to confront the challenges facing Eritrea today.
After reconvening in the main conference room, there was a lecture given by
the Head of Research and Documentation at the People’s Front for Democracy
and Justice, Mr. Zemhret Yohannes. A social luncheon served as a break for
the group before settling back in the conference room where the London team
gave the crowd an entertaining cultural performance.
To the anticipation of all whom were attending, Mr. Yohannes returned to
give members a lecture about the role of *Social* *and* *Cultural
Evolution*(from a biological standpoint) with respect to
*Political Development*. The speaker gave an analysis on the progress of
politics throughout the course of human history. This lecture then
transformed into a question & answer session with members openly asking Mr.
Yohannes questions about political developments, both in Eritrea and around
the world.
The night, however, will not end there; a cultural (Bahlawi) night party
will proceed with a sure-to-be electrifying Qorchach!
Awet n'Hafash!
