I’m Kenyan in the US and have many Eritrean friends here. I honestly didn’t know it was that rough back in their home country even though I’ve heard of the horror stories. We live in the same world and people take everything for granted here. I hope things get better down there my brothers and sisters.

A handful of families in my church are from Eritrea. The culture is absolutely beautiful, the people are the kindest and most welcoming. They have a knack for being joyful at all times. I hope something changed and improves before too long.

I play soccer on Saturday's with a large group of Eritreans in Dallas TX and they are some of the coolest guys I've met. I consider them my brothers. They've talked a little about what they had to endure, but seeing this let's me feel their pain. Beautiful ppl.
