#petrossolomon#PetrosSolomon is one of #Eritreasprominenthistoricalfigures, known for his significant role in the Eritrean struggle for independence and his later contributions to the country's governance. Below is an overview of his history and circumstances surrounding his detention: This is unbelievable—I can’t stop crying for the family of Petros Solomon. What a nightmare... September 18, 2001.
Background and Role in the Liberation Struggle Early Life and Education:#PetrosSolomon was born in 1951 in Asmara, Eritrea. He pursued education abroad, including studies in the #UnitedStates , before dedicating his life to the liberation movement. Role in the Eritrean Liberation Front (EPLF):
Petros was a key member of the Eritrean People's Liberation Front (#EPLF), which led the 30-year war for independence from Ethiopia. As a commander, he played a #strategicrole in planning and executing military operations during the liberation struggle. Post-Independence Leadership:
After Eritrea gained independence in 1991, #PetrosSolomon transitioned into #politicalleadership. He served in various high-ranking positions, including: #MinisterofDefense#MinisterOfForeignAffairs#MinisterofMarineResources#ArrestandDetention
The #G15Group :
In 2001, #Petros Solomon became one of #15highrankinggovernmentofficials, collectively referred to as the "#G15," who publicly criticized President Isaias Afwerki's administration. The G-15 called for #democraticreforms, the #implementationoftheconstitution, and #moretransparency in governance.
#Arrest In #September2001, #PetrosSolomon, along with other members of the G-15, was arrested during a crackdown on dissent by the Eritrean government. The arrests occurred in the aftermath of the Eritrean-Ethiopian border war (1998–2000), during which internal political disagreements grew.
#Detention Conditions: #PetrosSolomon has been held incommunicado since his arrest.
Neither he nor his colleagues have been formally charged or given a trial. Reports suggest that they are being held in harsh conditions in secret prisons.
Family and Personal Impact #HanaPetros : #PetrosSolomon's wife, #HanaPetros, was also detained in 2003. She was reportedly arrested after attempting to flee the country with their children.
Advocacy for Release: Their children and international #humanrightsorganizations have continuously advocated for the release of Petros Solomon and the #G15 members.
#AmnestyInternational#International and other groups have labeled him and his colleagues as prisoners of conscience.
Legacy #PetrosSolomon remains a symbol of both Eritrea's liberation and the struggle for justice and democracy within the country. His detention highlights the ongoing challenges of governance, human rights, and freedom of expression in Eritrea.

The main difference between "The Warriors Beacon of Hope" website and its Facebook page lies in their purpose and functionalities:
Website: "The Warriors Beacon of Hope" website is the primary platform designed for organizing and compiling a comprehensive list of veteran-support organizations. It includes features like a contest for people who sign up 10 groups or individuals, offering a free spot on the list as a reward. serves as a place where people can easily recommend organizations that provide essential services for veterans.
Facebook Page: The Facebook page for "The Warriors Beacon of Hope" serves as a more interactive, community-based extension of the website. It's ideal for engaging followers with updates, announcements, and events related to the website's mission. Through posts, comments, and shares, it fosters a community of supporters, veterans, and allies. It can help raise awareness of new organizations and causes that people might want to support and facilitates discussions among members, which might drive more traffic to the website itself. The FB Page is also a hub for information on fundraising activities by these groups.
In summary, while the website is a structured platform for listing and sharing resources and signing up veteran-support groups, the Facebook page is a social extension designed for interaction, updates, and community engagement.

Rome was not build in a day an old phrase though commonly said but heavily endowed.
And though was not build in day, it was not built alone.
Having shut down my classroom teaching to pursue fully the non-curriculum education. My 1st action was to advocate the new widows exploitation that's growing rapidly.
It is the socio-economic exclusion found in government and donors.
With over 3 decades of widowhood life experience to which I have spent 1 decade of it in advocating for widows empowerment.
I know that the new widows abuse growing requires attention to nip it at the bud.
The real issue to be addressed is widows inclusion and that it's the responsibility of the government to capture and include widows.
You see this picture, I never saw it coming but it was God's action to put a seal to the message; the number inclusion "widows must be allowed and used to drive and champion their cause"
Thank you Rose Sawart, together with women and men of Africa we will will build widows agenda coming out 2025 at TAWS2025, and it will be part of the Africa We Want Agenda
My name is Hope follow me and TAWS - The African Widows Summit and introduce me to widows of your country in my continent as I drive the widows voices across #Africa to ask and see the end in "sin of omission" through inclusive policies and initiatives.
