About Us
The Eritrean National Democratic Coalition — an inclusive national framework working for peaceful democratic change in Eritrea.
An inclusive national alliance
The Eritrean National Democratic Coalition was founded to serve as an inclusive umbrella for the Eritrean national forces and constituent groups that believe in democratic change — and that believe the country’s future can only be built on the agreement of its people, on a foundation of national partnership and respect for diversity.
Note:this is temporary introductory text, and will be replaced by the official wording from the Coalition’s introductory document once it is provided.
Our vision
A free and democratic Eritrea — a state of institutions and law, where citizens enjoy justice, equality and dignity, and where diversity is protected within the framework of national unity.
Our mission
To unite national energies within a single democratic project, and to lead the period of change toward a peaceful transition that restores to the Eritrean people their right to determine their own future and build their state.
