Over 300 Eritreans hailing from all over the Bay Area, met on Sunday January 17, 2010 in Oakland, California to vigorously denounce the UNSC Resolution No. 1907 passed against Eritrea and to demand for its immediate annulment. As one participant put it " this was a blessing in disguise. I have never seen such a house full attendance.People are angry. Leave Eritrea alone"
Various solid programs that enhanced the awareness of participants were presented. Araia Ephrem's power point presentation;Tesfai's audio; poems from Dehab, Tesfai and Kifla Kidane made people very happy.
When the Mekete Committee presented its program and its action plan for the year 2010, people were very attentive.In unison, they approved the plan and committed themselves to work with committee for its successful implementation.
For the first time, the meeting was broadcast live over the Internet. Questions and comments were received from people who followed the program from far away including Washington DC and Seattle.
The youth were very busy with on line registration in support the World Wide campaign "No to UN SC #1907 Resolution" over Change.org and Face Book.
