ASMARA Symbol Pride Africa
Forum & Celebration held in Vienna Austria, 15 July 2017

The inscription of Asmara into the World Heritage List is a symbol of pride for Africa. The historical, functional and architectural integrity of Asmara and in particular the subject architectural sites have been well preserved. The Forum was an important occasion for celebration and harmony, consolidation of African unity, strengthen the African culture and identity. Eritreans are culture-bound people with a deep sense of pride of their identity. Cultural development was an integral part of the liberation struggle and has remained so since Eritrea’s independence, both as an expression of national identity and as a crucial foundation upon which the nation itself is built. During the armed struggle for liberation Eritrean cultural values played an important role in strengthening the commitment towards national unity and freedom. Today, those same values highlight the country's sovereignty, as they determine the country’s aspirations, for peace and prosperity for all its citizens. Each of the country’s nine nationalities has its own oral and literary tradition, its music and dance, its architectures, its arts and crafts, and much more. Eritrea celebrates this rich heritage at all major celebrations and festivals, with performances and exhibitions that showcase the unique contribution of each group.
