Rigat Imfeld – Eritrean History Before and After Independence.
Rigat Imfeld is not a refugee that had to flee her home country. But I were, she says, if she had not moved to Switzerland fourteen years ago to live with her husband. When the now activist, who experienced the cruelty of the War of Independence as a child, was living in Eritrea, she worked as a teacher and later in the private sector. But there, still, you could feel how the government was trying to drench the economy and therefore its people. When Imfeld became aware of how precarious the situation in her home country was years later, she started engaging with the Eritrean Movement for Democratic Change, which promotes Human Rights. Her experiencing the War of Independence, the Eritrean government policies as a professional and the political change over time make her one of the knowledgeable people about the current History of Eritrea.
