The Awate Team (2007 states that all citizens over the age of 18–anywhere between 400,000-800,000 people have been in a constant state of mobilization for the last 12 years since the proclamation of National Service in 1995. In 2008, Meron Estefanos (2008) states that there are more than 700,000 Eritrean young people conscripted under the national service and many still continue. Some accounts offer even a higher figure. Beshir Abdulkadir - (Jun 25, 2010) in his article 'Reflections On The Eritrean Youth' wrote that on Unlike the betrayal of the PFDJ and similarly the fragile opposition groups that kept wasting many years squabbling over tiny matters, the Eritrean youth by their nature are innocent, patient, tolerant, nationalist and courageous—blind nationalism and bravery that was proved during the hardships that our sovereign nation faced. This quality was automatically set without any motivation or energy. At the beginning, whenever there is a call to defend the nation, the youth were there in the forefront, whenever there is a call to contribute to the national development projects, the youth were there constructing roads, dams, wells, schools, hospitals, etc. However, finally, the youth are tired...very tired; national service has turned into indefinite slavery, successive wars and disastrous loss of brothers and friends coupled simultaneously with abduction and torture for unclear reasons—and terror and fear due to the conspiracies of PFDJ spies and fanatic stalwarts.

According to Beshir Abdulkadir - (Jun 25, 2010) the position of the younger people (those who fled the regime) towards the current opposition camp is not encouraging. They are simply not confident that the current resistance bloc would overthrow the PFDJ regime and replace it with another. I took a sample of eight Eritrean youth, who escaped the rogue regime, in my surrounding and asked them about their stance regarding the resistance movements. Their response was nearly the same. Tedros Abraham Tsegay also in his reported mentioned that new blood is needed in the leadership, to win the minds and hearts of the youth. Some of the youth accuse the oppostion leaders of closing doors to reform

To conclude the intention of this paper was to highlight that the mistakes of the former revolutionary leaders and their collaborators are being repeated by the people who currently lead the opposition groups. The removing of the regime can only be achieved through replacing the old generation of the opposition leaders with the younger one willing to work genuinely for harmonizing the Eritrea society instead of dividing it. Beshir Abdulkadir - (Jun 25, 2010) in the conclusion of his article mentioned that the youths are the most effective and productive human resources. Without empowering and engaging them in every sociopolitical activity, old leaders and their old ideas cannot achieve any progress. Hence, all concerned compatriots and elites should share the pie with them and encourage them to be at least optimistic about the possibility of creating justice in our nation.
