Asmara — Participants of the Congress for Liberation and Reconstitution of Somalia underlined that the Asmara Congress was unique and successful in all aspects compared to previous conferences over the past 16 years.
Expressing their opinions in the wake of the Congress, the participants said that what makes the Congress unique is the fact that it was purely Somali-Somali affair without any external interference. They further pointed out that another factor that makes it special is the participation of about 400 representatives of basic Somali forces and managing to register impressive successes within a few days.
Also expressing his views, Prof. Abdurahman Adem, Member of the Central Council of the newly formed Alliance for Reliberation of Somalia, stated that the Congress was well organized and coordinated. He further indicated that having participated in previous 4, 5 Somalia conferences, the Asmara Congress was indeed both participatory and successful.
Prof. Abdurahman Adem commended the hospitality of "Eritrean brothers" and thanked the people and Government of Eritrea for creating a conducive ground for the Congress participants. He went on to explain that President Isaias' message further enhanced their admiration to the people and Government of Eritrea.
Similarly, Abdulahi Hireit, member of the Somali Youth Association in the UK, Mohammed Adem from Minnesota, USA, and Mohammed Abdu Abdulahi from the City of Birmingham (UK) respectively not only expressed deep satisfaction with the outcome of the Asmara Congress but also asserted that the Somali people would eventually triumph in their struggle to defeat the invading forces and rebuild a sovereign and united Somalia.
