This note is an appeal to your generosity and humanity! Serious moments, such as the incarceration of one of the heroes of the Eritrean Revolution, as a common criminal, leads to dismay. Who does not know that Eritreans and their Revolution have been embraced by the Sudanese people for thirty years, whatever the political color of Sudanese governments? One of the great links of the Sudan and Eritrea is the Beni Amir people, respected on both sides of the border. As it is appreciated by your Excellency, this linkage contributes to the national security of the Sudan. We feel confident that the Eritrean people shall replace the regime soon, in which case, we regard Sheik Hussein Khalifa as a future occupant of a position that will deepen the historical friendship between Eritrea and brotherly Sudan.

Mr. President, I appeal for the immediate release of Sheik Hussein, the Chairman of the Eritrean Liberation Front, and Eritrean Democratic Alliance.

Herui Tedla Bairu,

Chairman of the Eritrean Congress Party
