Nakfa: Symbol of resistance and perseverance of the Eritrean people
By Yishak Yaried
For every Eritrean Nakfa has a special meaning. Nakfa means endurance, perseverance and belief. Nakfa was a place where Eritrean liberation fighters put their strong belief and conviction that one day Eritrea will be an independent country where its people will walk proud as independent and free people in their own land. Nakfa was the foundation of the true State of Eritrea that we have today. When we celebrate our independence anniversary it is Nakfa that is cherished and remembered most for it was the foundation of all the successes the EPLF attained until the last day, 24th of May, 1991.In 1977 Nakfa fell in the hands of the Eritrean People’s Liberation Front and remained under it until the end, Eritrean Independence.
