Gursum Community Diaspora Press Release:
Re: News Letter by Br. Salah Wazir’s
February 2, 2007
Reference has been made to Brother Salah Wazirs’s News Letter dated January 22/07 in regards to the 2007 Harari Millennium which is eagerly and emphatically expected to be celebrated in the forthcoming July of 2007 in the walled city of Harar. We really appreciate his effort in providing us with the scope on matters pertaining to enormity of activities envisaged back home under the leadership of courageous leaders and hard working and committed organizing committee members.
At this juncture, we would like to take this opportunity to extend our heartfelt appreciation to the Harari Regional Government and its people in general and to the President of Harari State, His Excellency Murad Abdulhadi in particular for their inspirational initiatives and honest commitment on the capital issue which will be hosted by the city of Harar for the first time. We highly appreciate for being invited and to be part of such historical event. We also extend our thanks to this great event organizing committees all over the world, those who are sacrificing their time and working hard to put together this magnificent event to be colorful and memorable.
As most of you are well aware of the 2006 HSCF, which was held in Toronto, Canada, The Fugnanbira Community Group Association (Gursum Community) not only stood behind the HCO as a friend in need, but also fully engaged and participated in the planning and execution of the activities drafted by the HCO officials in the best interest of all Hararis.
Aside from the event participation in 2006 our community also prepared a comprehensive environmental study report alongside with potent recommendations that are instrumental to curb the debilitating environmental problems that has been serious concern for the entire Hararge Region and all surroundings for decades. To this effect the community met with and handed the report to the Hararge Regional leaders, EFDR (Eth. Embassy to Canada) and later in August to the Oromia State President His Excellency Abadula Gemeda as well.
Viz July 2006 Press release : Gursum Comm. Diaspora met with Eth officials.
Here we would like to mention that we are delighted and appreciate the Harari State Government for the development of the Harari National Park (Hamaresa), and planning reforestation to improve the environment. We believe this will also elevate the awareness of conservation during such major event. We hope such efforts to continue in all other Regions in Ethiopia.
Our commitment and support to our communities continues within our capacity and here for July 2007, although our event participation is unified with Hararis in Canada, aside from this, we took further initiatives and are already preparing helpful procedures with respect to Conservations & Preservation of Harari Treasures including Repair & Maintenance Guide as well. We were motivated to initiate this project after viewing the irreplaceable precious history pieces and artifacts were displayed on videos and seen several photos of these treasures on pictures including www.2007harar.com website. From this we concluded there is a need for such procedure.
Although we may wish to resurrect the book binding talent of our forefathers, the objective of this project is just to take care of their achievements and assist the care takers of these valuable treasures by providing them with the tools and skills that may be very helpful to educate the young generation for years to come.
Having being said that, ‘Insha Allah’ we will complete and forward our commitment to provide the following items in due course.
1. Repair & Maintenance Procedure Guide, specially prepared booklet & CD. With this document we will include the necessary and important tools such as,
* Digital environmental monitoring control device to monitor the environment conditions where these treasures are stored or displayed, such as museum.
* Basic repair tools including magnifying object.
2. Soon we will update our Website front page to promote July 2007 Harari Millennium event to encourage all our brothers and sisters to be part and parcel of this great event.
Last but not least, it is a fact of life Cooperation, Mutual understanding and respect, sharing viable knowledge, skills, experience and expertise are some of the preconditions for growth, prosperity and development for any society struggling to take off and ascend. We urge all our communities to stick together hand in hand to the principles of growth and development with our neighboring national state.
More over, we have to recall that we are the generation of war and seldom peace. We lived not only a sever repression by the past regimes but also twice experienced the ugly devastations of war, thus inherited UNITY as a symbol of our strength and survival that helped us to live it through until today. Thanks to our elders who thought us the value of UNITY and their efforts for survival.
Gursum Community strongly urges our Brothers and Sisters both at home and Diaspora to do away with some trivial issues and remain strong tower of support for Hararis and other Democratic and Pragmatic nations of Ethiopia. Together we prevail!
