أدعو الجميع إلى موقف تاريخي شجاع يفضي بنا إلى توحيد الصف والوفاق، ونبذ التجاذبات السياسية والخلافات الشخصية, ومد جذور التواصل بيننا، وأن تكون الثقة المتبادلة هي مفتاح وحدتنا الوطنية، والضمانة الأساسية لإستمرارها، وأن نودع اليأس ونزرع الأمل فينا جميعاً حتى نحقق التحول السياسى المنشود  لكى تبقى بلادنا حرة، ويعيش شعبنا في عزة وكرامة

Sunabera was one of about a half-a-dozen of elderly Eritreans who were arrested in October 2001 shortly after they attempted to mediate the conflict between two sides of the ruling party, PFDJ. Like his fellow prisoners, he was neither charged, nor found guilty, of any crimes.
