During the later<br \/>\npart of 1960s and early 1970s, he was a university student in<br \/>\nBaghdad but could not obtain all of his medical credentials<br \/>\nmainly because of his decision not to become a member of the<br \/>\nBa\u2019ath Party in Iraq.

It breaks my heart that all these Eritreans who<br \/>\nspent their whole life for the independence of Eritrea are being<br \/>\nburied outside their country they loved so dearly! Really<br \/>\npainfull.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\nA Memorable Conversation With Omar Jabir In Melbourne<br \/>\nBy Woldeyesus Ammar (August 4, 2005) FROM NHARNET.COM<br \/>\n(EPDP).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\nTo my viewpoint, Omar Jabir Omar, a veteran ELF freedom<br \/>\nfighter now in Australia, represents, in one go, a combination of<br \/>\nmany things in a contemporary Eritrean in exile &#8211; contemporary<br \/>\nhere mainly meaning the generations that bore the brunt of national\u00a0<span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">awakening and struggle for Eritrea\u2019s national\u00a0<\/span>independence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">First: Omar Jabir is a good representative of the passionately<br \/>\nnationalist Eritrean youth of the 1960s and the 1970s who<br \/>\nstudied in the Middle East and played a vital role in building the<br \/>\nEritrean national liberation struggle \u2013 but, alas, only to be<br \/>\nbetrayed wholesale in liberated Eritrea.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Second: He suitably symbolizes Eritrea\u2019s leftist revolutionary<br \/>\ngeneration that worked under nascent (now defunct) Eritrean<br \/>\nparties of the left: LP or the Labour Party within the ELF, and<br \/>\nEPRP or the Eritrean People\u2019s Revolutionary Party within the<br \/>\nEPLF.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Third: Omar Jabir is a good example of independent Eritrea\u2019s<br \/>\nself-inflicted brain drain that unfolded as a result of a well<br \/>\ndesigned social engineering of Isayas Afeworki\u2019s exclusionist<br \/>\nand evil policies commencing with his \u201cHashewiye Wudibat\u201d of<br \/>\n20 June 1991 that eventually succeeded to keep at bay literally<br \/>\nall of Eritrea\u2019s intellectuals, especially those with advanced<br \/>\nknowledge of and qualifications in the Arabic language.Fourth:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">He symbolizes the failure of PFDJ\u2019s Eritrea to reconcile<br \/>\neven with those who were willing to go an extra mile to make<br \/>\nreconciliation happen after 1991. (The listing of such<br \/>\nsymbolisms of Omar and his generation with the situation of<br \/>\ncontemporary Eritrea would prove endless.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">During June 2005, I had the opportunity of meeting several<br \/>\ntimes with Omar Jabir in Melbourne where he took residence<br \/>\nwith his family since 1995.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">He works for an employment agency while providing voluntary services as president of the 30,000-<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">strong Horn of Africa Community in Australia (refer to a<br \/>\nprevious article in Nharnet, Awna, Alnahda and Farajat about<br \/>\n\u2018Eritreans in Faraway Australia\u2019.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In our chitchats, Omar and I talked on a variety of topics and<br \/>\nevents of the past, the present and the future. In particular, we<br \/>\nenjoyed our exchange of \u2018ancient\u2019 notes about Eritrean student<br \/>\nmilitancy inside and outside the homeland. I noted to Omar<br \/>\nthat I may write down for the benefit of other readers some<br \/>\nspecified parts of our talk. And he, a trained journalist himself,<br \/>\nhad no objection to whatever I wished to select for writing and<br \/>\nposting in Eritrean websites from the conversation that went<br \/>\non and on &#8211; well spiced by his command of linguistic nuances in<br \/>\nArabic, English, Tigre and Tigrinia. As many readers may recall,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Omar Jabir has been a constant\u00a0contributor of articles in Arabic and English to the Eritrean<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">websites. His present-day stance regarding the regime in<br \/>\nAsmara, his ideas on democratisation, national unity,<br \/>\nreconciliation, and the basic requirements for coexistence and<br \/>\nstable future in Eritrea are well known to many people.<br \/>\nTherefore, I will not bore readers by trying to repeat them here.<br \/>\nInstead, I will concentrate on a few historical events and<br \/>\nexperiences, some of them told in the form of anecdotes. But,<br \/>\nfirst a few notes about the man.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Omar Jabir: A short profile<br \/>\nBorn in 1945 in Ali Ghidir near Tessenei where he completed his<br \/>\nelementary and middle school grades, Omar Jabir pursued his<br \/>\nsecondary school classes in a boarding school in Port Sudan,<br \/>\nand one year in Khartoum. He completed grade 12 by 1962.<br \/>\nDuring the later part of 1960s and early 1970s, he was a<br \/>\nuniversity student in Baghdad but could not obtain all of his<br \/>\nmedical credentials mainly because of his decision not to<br \/>\nbecome a member of the Ba\u2019ath Party in Iraq. As indicated<br \/>\nbelow, he was one of the key players in the student movement<br \/>\nin the Middle East. In later years, he served as a senior cadre of<br \/>\nthe ELF during the entire 1970s in the fields of student and<br \/>\nyouth affairs, information and diplomacy. In 1982, he<br \/>\nsupported the ELF faction that staged a coup d\u2019etat (for others<br \/>\nknown as \u201can uprising\u201d) within the organization. After liberation in 1991, he took another controversial decision by<br \/>\ngoing back to Eritrea while it was under an exclusionist regime<br \/>\nthat banned all patriotic forces that took part in the liberation<br \/>\nstruggle.<br \/>\n***<br \/>\nInterview with Omar Jabir<br \/>\nQuestion: Omar, I assume you started politics early in your life.<br \/>\nWhen was that and what particular events do you still<br \/>\nremember?<br \/>\nAnswer: I started involvement in politics from my early teenage<br \/>\nyears. In fact I was born in politics. My family and the small Ali<br \/>\nGhidir community in general were among the strong cells of the<br \/>\nIndependence Bloc and later on of the Eritrean Liberation<br \/>\nMovement (Haraka\/ELM) and the Eritrean Liberation Front<br \/>\n(ELF). I was with the Haraka cells by 1959-60 in Port Sudan<br \/>\nwhere the movement was founded. I then switched to the ELF<br \/>\nwhen it became operational. At the age of 20, I already was a<br \/>\nmember of the Revolutionary Command in Kassala when it was<br \/>\nformed and took charge of security matters. In fact I was one of<br \/>\nthe ELF people in Kassala who arranged the fateful trip to Asmara for your classmates Seyoum Ogbamichael and<br \/>\nWoldedawit Temesghen in August 1965. They were assigned to<br \/>\nre-organize ELF cells in the Eritrean capital but, unfortunately,<br \/>\nthey were betrayed by Mulugeta Gherghis, one of us in Kassala<br \/>\nwho deserted soon after their departure and had them<br \/>\napprehended by the Ethiopian authorities. By the end of that<br \/>\nyear [1965], I went to Baghdad for higher studies. I was there<br \/>\nthroughout the latter part of the 1960s and early 1970s as a<br \/>\nstudent leader.<br \/>\nQuestion: We know that the student union in Baghdad that you<br \/>\nchaired was instrumental in the formation in December 1968 of<br \/>\nthe General Union of Eritrean Students (GUES). Who else was<br \/>\nwith you in the leadership of GUES in the Middle East?<br \/>\nAnswer: The student union in Baghdad was among the most<br \/>\ndynamic groups in the Middle East. Among my colleagues in the<br \/>\nleadership of the student movement from Baghdad Osman<br \/>\nHumed, Mohammed Ali Idris, Mohammed Sheikh Abdu Jelil and<br \/>\nHassan Debesai. Union leaders from Cairo were Abdalla Omar<br \/>\nNasser, Siraj Mussa Abdu, Omar M. Suleiman and others. From<br \/>\nEurope were Beshir Saeed, Woldu Kahsai, Idris Nur Hussein and<br \/>\nothers. It was with the student unions in Damascus, Cairo and<br \/>\nin Europe that we formed the GUES.Question: What roles did GUES play in the nationalist struggle?<br \/>\nAnswer: GUES became a full-fledged member of the<br \/>\nInternational Union of Students (IUS) in Prague and helped<br \/>\nintroduce the Eritrean cause to international organizations of<br \/>\nthe day. That was a very important achievement. The other role<br \/>\neffectively played by us in GUES was the national service. We all<br \/>\nwere committed to spend one year serving in the field with the<br \/>\nELF before completing our studies. Besides learning more for<br \/>\nthemselves, the young service students carried with them<br \/>\nknowledge, enlightenment and many modern ideas to the<br \/>\nfighters and to the rural people inside Eritrea. It was through<br \/>\nthat well thought national service that more and more new<br \/>\nblood was injected in the liberation struggle. GUES\u2019s national<br \/>\nservice programme was continued till 1977.<br \/>\nQuestion: And naturally GUES had its share of student martyrs.<br \/>\nAnswer: Yes, the first GUES martyr was my elder brother Yahya<br \/>\nJabir, a medical student from Europe who was martyred on 31<br \/>\nAugust 1973. That date was being annually marked as the<br \/>\nEritrean Student Martyrs\u2019 Day by GUES. Other students from<br \/>\nEurope who were martyred while on service included Fitsum<br \/>\nGhebreselassie, Aregai Habtu, and Abdulgader Idris from<br \/>\nKhartoum University. Question: Did the Arab regimes of the day create interferences<br \/>\nin Eritrean student affairs during those years?<br \/>\nAnswer: There were many interferences. For example, I was<br \/>\nbarred for two years from entering Cairo by the authorities who<br \/>\nlistened to framed up ELF-PLF allegations against the<br \/>\nmainstream GUES of the ELF (Revolutionary Council). The ELFPLF<br \/>\nheaded by Osman Saleh Sabbe created their own GUES and<br \/>\ngave us hard time although their union did not have any<br \/>\ninternational dimension or weight. In later years, the Baathists<br \/>\nalso formed their own Eritrean student union in Baghdad and<br \/>\nplanted many hurdles against our organization.<br \/>\nQuestion: Can you recall any memorable event(s) that you<br \/>\nexperienced during those student days?<br \/>\nAnswer: Oh! yes, many interesting happenings, some of them<br \/>\nshocking. One experience was an extremely embarrassing and<br \/>\nshameful Munich meeting of Eritrean students and workers in<br \/>\nEurope in the summer of 1970. I was on a visit to Germany that<br \/>\ntime and attended the meeting as observer. I vividly remember<br \/>\nthe poisoned atmosphere at the meeting in which a recorded<br \/>\nspeech of Woldeab Woldemariam was played. In it, Woldeab<br \/>\nspoke against the General Command of the ELF (Kiyada Ama). I was forced to present my speech in English because Arabic as<br \/>\nlanguage was banned at the meeting. Idris Badume [presently<br \/>\nresiding in Sweden] begged to speak in Arabic because his<br \/>\nmother tongue, Kunama, had no single listener at the meeting<br \/>\nand that he did not have strong command of any other<br \/>\nlanguage except Arabic. The majority of the meeting<br \/>\nparticipants said no Arabic should be allowed at the meeting.<br \/>\nHe thus chose to walkout of the meeting.<br \/>\nAnother more embarrassing and quite incredible incident at the<br \/>\nsame Munich meeting was the threat to kill. Some meeting<br \/>\nparticipants looked decided to kill Petros Kidane of Halhal!! The<br \/>\nblunt language used was, \u201cYou are from Halhal who are with<br \/>\nKiyada Ama. Your people killed Kidane Kiflu and Woldai Ghidey<br \/>\nin Kassala. We will kill you today, and there will not be any<br \/>\nmercy!\u201d We were afraid that he was in danger; his friends<br \/>\nhelped him escape back to Berlin within hours of the threat. I<br \/>\nbelieved that they meant to kill him. It was shameful. GUES<br \/>\nmembers like Fitsum Ghebreselassie, who was chairing the<br \/>\nmeeting, Aregai Habtu, Habte Tesfamariam, Embaye &#8230;.. and a<br \/>\nfew others were insulted and attacked for being \u201cstooges of<br \/>\nKiyada Ama\u201d. Herui Tedla Bairu also attended the Munich<br \/>\nmeeting that can still be a measure of show how low national<br \/>\nawareness was among many Eritreans 30+ years ago. But<br \/>\nfrankly speaking some of the participants could have done<br \/>\nbetter than what they actually did at that meeting of shame in Munich .The anti-ELF elements held their second meeting in<br \/>\nNuremberg in August 1971 and supported the split of PLF from<br \/>\nthe ELF.<br \/>\nQuestion: And what about left politics of students of that age?<br \/>\nWeren\u2019t you part of the leftist movement?<br \/>\nAnswer: Of course we were espousing leftist slogans of the day.<br \/>\nMany of us were co-opted into the Labour Party of the ELF. The<br \/>\nLP gradually took upper hand in Kiyada Ama and it was the<br \/>\nparty that organized the First ELF Congress in 1971 and<br \/>\nformulated a national democratic programme. It is my<br \/>\nconviction that everything good that had been done in the ELF<br \/>\nwas done by the LP. In its initial stage, the LP recruited and<br \/>\ntrained the best cadres for the liberation struggle. However,<br \/>\nproblems were created later on when the ELF leadership took<br \/>\npower both in the front and in the party; power struggle<br \/>\nbetween two ambitious politicians, Ibrahim Toteel and Abdalla<br \/>\nIdris, flared up. This was disastrous. Azien Yassin, who was the<br \/>\nLP Secretary General in 1976 was replaced because of the<br \/>\npower struggle in the front and this power struggle finally<br \/>\nweakened the ELF and contributed to its demise as a military<br \/>\nforce.Question: Many thanks, Omar, for your comments about the<br \/>\nroles of GUES and LP in the growth of the ELF. Let me now ask<br \/>\nyou about two issues that pop up in discussions among old ELF<br \/>\ncomrades. These concern what we call the coup d\u2019etat within<br \/>\nthe ELF in 1982 that you supported and then your return to<br \/>\nEritrea after liberation. What are your comments?<br \/>\nAnswer: First about the event at Rasai. Was that event in 1982<br \/>\na coup d\u2019etat? I say \u2018YES\u2019, it was a coup d\u2019etat. In fact, I wrote<br \/>\nthis opinion in the ELF\u2019 magazine, \u2018The Revolution\u2019,immediately<br \/>\nafter that event took place. But was that coup d\u2019etat antidemocratic<br \/>\nand was it conducted against a democratically<br \/>\nelected leadership? My response was and is \u2018NO\u2019 for the<br \/>\nfollowing contextual reasons that connect it with the facts on<br \/>\nthe ground at that period. In fact the coup d\u2019etat was the last<br \/>\nresort taken to curb a series of wrongdoings and accumulation<br \/>\nof leadership errors that gradually suffocated the organization<br \/>\nto its deathbed. The Executive Committee (EC) that was elected<br \/>\nafter the 1975 Second Congress of the ELF became an<br \/>\nabsolutely autocratic power that froze the roles of other<br \/>\ninstitutions and bodies in the organization. This particular EC<br \/>\nrefused [for three years] the holding of regular meetings of the<br \/>\nRevolutionary Council. The EC controlled the mass<br \/>\norganizations; created its own GUES and ignored the joint<br \/>\nhistoric memorandum of mass organizations that told<br \/>\neverything. Then came the collapse [in the hands of the EPLF\/TPLF armies] and we crossed the border to the Sudan \u2013<br \/>\nleadership divided and cadres pushing for change in the EC. But<br \/>\nhow? Leading cadres were advocating the holding of an<br \/>\nemergency military conference that would exclude civilians and<br \/>\nELF branches in the Middle East. The final blow was the<br \/>\nSudanese action of confiscation of arms and then the threat of<br \/>\ntaking everybody from Tahdai and Korokon to refugee camps.<br \/>\nThe bottle was already broken \u2013 pieces left were just<br \/>\nremainders of a legendary ELF that was targeted not only by<br \/>\nEPLF and the Sudan but also betrayed by its leadership. I am<br \/>\nnot saying that the 25 March [1982 event] was a saving step for<br \/>\nthe whole organization but it was an initiative by one of those<br \/>\nscattered pieces.<br \/>\nQuestion: And the second issue &#8211; do you regret having returned<br \/>\nto Eritrea after 1991?<br \/>\nAnswer: I never regret having gone to Asmara [after liberation].<br \/>\nTo start with, I am an Eritrean citizen and going back home is a<br \/>\nnatural step. Secondly, I went with a vision, principles and<br \/>\nvalues and came back with them all without any change!<br \/>\nThirdly, I learned new experience, new facts and tangible<br \/>\nevidences about the theoretical concept I used to have about<br \/>\nEPLF. The fourth reason that I do not regret having gone to<br \/>\nAsmara is that I did not go to serve the regime but I went with<br \/>\nthe idea of living as an ordinary Eritrean. My real dream was to settle in my village of origin and work in the family farm or to<br \/>\nhave a library for the new generation.<br \/>\nQuestion: Now, let us envision about a future viable governing<br \/>\nparty in Eritrea in the post-PFDJ period that can give Eritrea last<br \/>\npeace and stability. What forces can realize this hope?<br \/>\nAnswer: I can say that the present opposition groups can play a<br \/>\nrole in shaping such a party. In addition, the outcome of the<br \/>\ngoverning party (PFDJ) after the expected change will tell what<br \/>\nsort of a political formula we might have for Eritrea. To sum,<br \/>\nfuture developments and interaction between different forces<br \/>\nwill decide the shape and content of such a party.<br \/>\nThanks a lot.<br \/>\nEnd<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/gereger.com\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Born in 1945 in Ali Ghidir near Tessenei where he completed his elementary and middle school grades, Omar Jabir pursued his secondary school classes in a boarding school in Port Sudan, and one year in Khartoum.
