Harnet Avenue With Enrico

Overworked with awe, as I settled with some steaming latte in a bustling café on Harnet Avenue with Enrico, we were joined by two bright looking lads sipping at some sweet-smelling coffee again, and there proceeded merry small talk until bottoms-up. Upon casual enquiry after parting ways, Enrico had me flustered when he revealed he didn’t know them! “That’s how it is here”, he shrugged. While some esteem even strangers, others have no qualms blowing apart their neighbours. Created by the same God, all of us, we’re told, but I wonder… “In fact, in Asmara there even stand symbols of Islam, Catholicism and orthodox Christianity within little distances of each other, that too for prominent landmarks. Religious harmony is something like divine consolation to us Eritreans. We hope to protect it.”
