In cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the State of Eritrea, the National Union of Eritrean Youth and Students (NUEYS) encourages Eritrean youth in the Diaspora to contribute to the development of their country first off by filling out a profile for the Department of Eritreans Abroad Information Management System (DEAIMS Database).

By filling out their profile and submitting it, they include valuable information towards a comprehensive Diaspora Database System and become part of a pool for agents and partners for development in their homeland.

As a remedy to the ‘Brain Drain’ suffered by Eritrea and many other developing countries, the Eritrean Diaspora can play a crucial role as a pool for agents and partners for development in their homeland, especially in critical sectors such as education, health, technology and business.

Asmara, 4 July 2012 – The NUEYS Chairman, Mr. Sultan Seid, explained that the national value of self-sacrifice has been the characteristic feature of Eritrean youths across generations. He made the remarks in an interview he conducted with the state media in connection with the 5th National Youth Festival.

Indicating that Eritrea is a nation blessed with diligent and realism-oriented youths, Mr. Sultan pointed out that their role in the nation building process has become progressively substantial. He further pointed out that the nation is registering significant accomplishments in various domains thanks to the youths inside the country and abroad who are ensuring the required sacrifice.
