Message of Support and Solidarity
From: Tigrayans Advocacy for Human Rights and Justice in Europe
To: The Founders and Members of the Mekelle 70 Enderta Civic Association in Holland
Date: September 20, 2025
“Unity in Action, Strength in Identity”
On this historic day, marking the official formation of the Mekelle 70 Enderta Civic Association in Holland, we, the Tigrayans Advocacy for Human Rights and Justice in Europe, extend our deepest respect, support, and unwavering solidarity.
The establishment of this independent, non-political, and non-religious civic association is not only a proud milestone but also a bold act of responsibility. It demonstrates a determination to safeguard our Tigrayan cultural identity, while advancing justice, dignity, and inclusion within the diaspora and in the wider global community.
Civic associations like this are the lifeblood of strong societies. They strengthen communities by promoting social welfare, fostering citizen engagement, and providing a platform for collective action. They cultivate a sense of belonging and shared purpose, expand social networks, and build social capital—all of which are essential for healthy democracies and resilient communities. Crucially, they also serve as a counterbalance to state power, ensuring that citizens have a voice, a space to express their concerns, and a means to hold authorities accountable.
“You Are Not Alone – We Are With You”
To the leaders and pioneers of this noble initiative:
We applaud your determination to inspire unity and strengthen civic life.
We honor your leadership in planting seeds of hope and community service.
We commend your vision in demonstrating what Tigrayans in Europe can achieve through collective will.
Your work sets a shining example for Tigrayan communities across Europe and beyond. We encourage others in the diaspora to replicate this noble initiative—establishing civic associations that preserve our heritage, connect our people, and amplify our united voice for justice and dignity.
“Together for Justice, Together for Tigray”
On this occasion, we extend our warmest wishes for strength, sustainability, and success. May the Mekelle 70 Enderta Civic Association in Holland grow into a beacon of unity, service, and dignity for generations to come.
To all Tigrayans across Europe, we call upon you to stand together, participate in this historic journey, and celebrate the birth of a new chapter in our collective struggle for justice and empowerment.
Together, we are stronger.
Together, we will persevere.
Together, we will keep Tigray’s spirit alive.
With respect, admiration, and solidarity,
Tigrayans Advocacy for Human Rights and Justice in Europe .
