The Eritrea for Eritreans Party (Ertra n'ertrawian), also known as the Liberal Progressive Party (LPP) was a political party in Eritrea. The party was founded on February 18, 1947 in Adi Keyh.[1][1] It was a secular party dominated by Christians.[1] It opposed union with Ethiopia.[1] It called for the creation of an independent Tigrean state (uniting Tigrinya speakers in Eritrea and Ethiopia).[5] The party program accepted the notion of a U.S. trusteeship as intermediary step towards independence.[1] The party gathered a membership of 53,500.[2] The party emerged from the separatist movement that had been nurtured by the British Military Administration. The name 'Liberal Progressive Party' was a name accorded to the party by the British Military Administration.[3] At times the party was known as the Liberation and Development Party of Eritrea - Eritrea for Eritreans (Mahber harnet 'n limaa't ertra - ertra n'etrawian).[9] The party was allegedly set up by Stephen Hemsley Longrigg.[4] The influence of the party was limited to a small area in Akele Guzai and some circles in Asmara.[3] Its main leaders were Ras Tessema Asberom and Seyoum Maascio.[1] Woldeab Woldemariam was another prominent leader of the party.[3] According to an estimate made by the Four Powers Commission prior to the election, the party was supported by 9% of the population. The main opponent of LPP was the Unionist Party, which used its religious networks against the LPP. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church threatened LPP supporters with excommunication.[3] The unionists carried out many violent attacks against the LPP, which weakened the party.[1] In 1949 the party was registered as the Freedom and Development Party of Eritrea (Mahber natznet'n limaa't ertra), sometimes shortened to just Freedom Party of Eritrea.[5] In the same year the party took part in founding the Independence Bloc together with the Moslem League and the Pro-Italy Party.[6] Following the departure of the Four Powers Commission, the LPP was weakened by internal splits. Woldeab Woldemariam left the party to form a group of his own.[3] The party was dissolved in December 1950.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite book|author1=Dan Connell|author2=Tom Killion|title=Historical Dictionary of Eritrea|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=SYsgpIc3mrsC&pg=PA348|date=14 October 2010|publisher=Scarecrow Press|isbn=978-0-8108-7505-0|page=348}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite book|author=Okbazghi Yohannes|title=Eritrea: A Pawn in World Politics|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=sG41eDVRDnoC&pg=PA59|year=1991|publisher=University Press of Florida|isbn=978-0-8130-1044-1|page=59}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite book|author=Tekeste Negash|title=Eritrea and Ethiopia: The Federal Experience|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CBrImoJfFboC&pg=PA45|date=January 1997|publisher=Nordic Africa Institute|isbn=978-91-7106-406-6|pages=45-48}} 4. ^{{cite book|author=Tekeste Negash|title=Eritrea and Ethiopia: The Federal Experience|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CBrImoJfFboC&pg=PA23|date=January 1997|publisher=Nordic Africa Institute|isbn=978-91-7106-406-6|page=23}} 5. ^1 {{cite book|author=Ruth Iyob|title=The Eritrean Struggle for Independence: Domination, Resistance, Nationalism, 1941-1993|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ee6nFgq4-TkC&pg=PA162|date=13 May 1997|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-0-521-59591-9|pages=162}} 6. ^{{cite book|author=Tekeste Negash|title=Eritrea and Ethiopia: The Federal Experience|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CBrImoJfFboC&pg=PA49|date=January 1997|publisher=Nordic Africa Institute|isbn=978-91-7106-406-6|page=49}} 3 : Political parties in Eritrea|Political parties established in 1947|Political parties disestablished in 1950 |
