The current young generation has a promise to keep. Our people who perished in a broad daylight bombardment left this Hidri (promise) written in blood. The young generation ought to take the motto never again and stand tall to guard the promise.
Our people may have defeated Derge and all anti peace and development forces in the cutthroat struggle 18 years ago, however, Derge remnants and other left over forces, are gathering in the corridors of foreign capitals to wage yet another “color” revolution to cause mayhem!

Aigaforum calls the young to stand tall against these forces where ever they are. Say never again!
