Nacfa — A 5,700,000 Nakfa benefit scheme has been paid to families of fallen heroes in the Nacfa and Afabet sub-zones, Northern Red Sea region, according to Hibtai Guesh, head of the scheme in the sub-zones.
He said that more than 2,000 families became beneficiaries of the scheme over the period from 2006 to 2007. Noting that the families used to face transportation problems, among others, since they were traveling to Massawa to receive the payments, Mr. Hibtai pointed out that an office has now been opened in Afabet and that the families are being paid in their respective villages.
Similarly, as part of the initiative by the Eritrean nationals living abroad to support martyrs' families, 62,000 Nakfa has been paid to families of fallen heroes in the Nacfa sub-zone, according to reports. The beneficiaries expressed their satisfaction with the support extended to them by the Government and nationals abroad.

It is a shame that we Eritreans fought for independence and the prize to be a dictatorial regime worst in the history of the country during the Ethiopian Deictator regime and long before.I believe the country will never have an enemy going into war with, but created from nothing due to the bad culture and behaviour of the middle and beggining of the 1970's. I don't how it will come out of this chaos. And yet you are trying to confuse through every means. Nobody will ever be twisted. Every one wants peace and tranquility. Not the roaming around of the then independence fighters who changed to serial killers.
Shame for those of who fought long for independence and are folloing a lunatic dictator. Allafrica is part of a killing machinery.
