Eritrea Explained in 11 Minutes [History, Food, and Culture]

Eritrea Unveiled: A Journey Through Its Culture & Landscape
Eritrea, located in East Africa, has a rich history and diverse landscapes. Its early history includes the Stone Age and the Aksum Kingdom, which traded with the Roman Empire. After the decline of Aksum, Eritrea faced various conquests, including by the Ottoman Empire and later Italian colonization in the 19th century. Eritrea was under British administration after World War II, then united with Ethiopia in a federation, leading to the Eritrean War of Independence, which ended in 1991. Eritrea declared independence in 1993 but has faced ongoing political upheaval and a border conflict with Ethiopia. The country's population of 3.6 million includes ethnic groups such as the Tigrinya, Tigre, and Saho, and practices religions like Christianity and Islam. Geographically, Eritrea features highlands, lowlands, and the Red Sea coast. Its economy, based on agriculture and mining, faces challenges due to political isolation and insufficient infrastructure. Politically, it's a one-party state under President Isaias Afwerki, known for suppressing dissent and civil liberties. Eritrea's culture includes storytelling, literature, and cuisine like Zigni, Injera, Shiro, and Genfo.

Historical accuracy, I'll give it around 95%. Some inaccuracy when it comes to eritrea being part of ethiopia except when it was colonized from 1962 till 1991. Besides that, you did a great job.

[@dolcevitac.lassale9974]

Why so many Eritreans flee the country? 1- because Pre. Obama coming to Ethiopia said that all Eritreans should be given a green card in the USA or Europe, this agitation caused many Eritreans to flee their country, 2-Eritrea was under brutal sanction by the US, its allies, and the UN without proof for decades. so plenty of Eritreans were unemployed due to economic problems created by the sanction & forced to leave their country.
