EPLF is NOT PFDJ

EPLF =
The First Congress of the EPLF occurred in January 1977 and formally set out the policies of this new organization. At this first meeting a Secretary-General and Assistant Secretary-General were elected and a program adopted. This program specifically targeted a liberalization of women's rights as well as a broad educational policy for maintaining every language and improving literacy. It was also set out that the boundaries of a Eritrean state would be based on the colonial treaties of Italy.

The Second Congress in 1987 brought together the EPLF and the Eritrean Liberation Front/Central Leadership (also sometimes referred to as Central Command, CC) in what was called the Unity Congress.[2] This was the culmination of negotiations over three years which had brought together the two fighting forces in October 1986 under a unified command.[2] On this congress, Isaias Afewerki replaced secretary-general Ramadan Nur. Subsequently, the movement abandoned most of its formerly Marxist–Leninist ideology,[3][4] in favour of an own revolutionary left-wing concept and a more comprehensive and pragmatic approach to unite all Eritrean nationalists.[5]

The Third and last Congress of the EPLF was held in 1994 in Asmara.



PFDJ = Isayas Afwrki - (whoever is Left of PFDJ)
