Problem:Hi. I don't know anything about Eritrea. What can you tell me?
Hello! I sure can. The name was first formally adopted in 1890, with the formation of Italian Eritrea. Eritrea had about 760,000 inhabitants, including 70,000 Italians, in 1941.
What's the economy like?
The Eritrean-Ethiopian War severely hurt Eritrea's economy.
Do they have any major imports or exports?
Sorry, I do not know the exact answer to that, however, I can tell you a couple more facts about their economy in general. The Eritrean economy has undergone extreme changes due to the War of Independence. A big reason for the recent growth of the Eritrean economy is the commencement of full operations in the gold and silver Bisha mine and the production of cement from the cement factory in Massawa.
So with the war, how did that affect human rights?
In June 2016, a 500 page United Nations Human Rights Council report accused Eritrea's government of extrajudicial executions, torture, indefinitely prolonged national service and forced labour, and indicated that sexual harrassment, rape and sexual servitude by state officials are also widespread. Barbara Lochbihler of the European Parliament Subcommittee on Human Rights said the report detailed very serious human rights violations, and asserted that EU finding for development would not continue as at present without change in Eritrea. According to Human Rights Watch, the government's human rights record is considered among the worst in the world.
Wow! What else can you tell me about Human Rights in Eritrea?
According to the BBC, Eritrea is the only African country to have no privately owned news media and Reporters Without Borders said of the public media they do nothing but relay the regime's belligerent and ultra-nationalist discourse. In an attempt at reform, Eritrean government officials and NGO representatives in 2006 participated in many public meetings and dialogues. Several countries also disputed the report's language and accuracy, including the US and China.
