Eritrea is even worse than Somalia. Their GDP is lower, their health is lower.
And 60% of its people are on the move daily. I wouldn't be surprised if the President was the only person in Asmara

@Shamis really? Its like someone liking games posts when he threatened to rape you.
Think walal. Use your brain
The dictator over there started it pretty admirable but has morphed into a complete xoolo.
What I loved from his earlier actions:
Refused UN hand outs and ordered his people to produce their own food bc he figured these maize being flooded in his market is only making the country perpetually reliant. It usually handicapped a lot of African countries
He used prisoners to build national infrastructure.
Has brought down infant mortality equal to an advanced country.
Kept the country amazingly clean
What I dislike about him
He has not tabs formed from the micro management of his days as a rebel leader
He is stubborn and stoic.
He is paranoid.
Needlessly used his young man to die a suicidal war with bigger Ethiopia in the late 90s
Couldn't maneuver through international relations. Made enemies easily and brought sanctions on his tiny country.
Tight grip on his people in a digital world where the young man of Eritrea can see the life led by fellow Eritreans in the diaspora
I'd rather live in SL or PL than Eritrea.
KenyaLol @ praising one of the most repressive states in the world. Eritrea is commonly referred to as the "North Korea of Africa" and with good reason. The totalitarian and isolationist nature of the country has led it to being very poor with no investment whatsoever. Poverty is rife as there are no opportunities, leading the youth to lose hope for their future. Instead, they are conscripted into the military. The vast majority of Africans risking their lives in the arduous trek to Europe are Eritreans looking to escape Isaias Afewerki's despotic regime. Even players of the Eritrean national football team have refused to return to their country and have been given asylum in Botswana.
Eritrea is Somalia's worst enemy as it has been funding extremist groups in Somalia since the 1990s. They even hosted the terrorist Hassan Dahir Aweys in Asmara for several years. They do this to counter Ethiopia's support for Somalia's fragile federal government. Eritrea is a pariah state with few allies. The brutal EPLF regime must be toppled as they undermine peace and stability in the region.
