Universal Periodic Review

The almost "only" way of accessing information regarding the development of Eritrea is through the universal periodic review.

"16. The national health infrastructure is comprised of 30 hospitals, 54 health centres and 263 health stations and clinics. The total number of health facilities increased from 93 in 1991 (16 hospitals, 5 health centres and 72 health stations) to 347 as of December 2023, which is 3.7-fold increase from 1991 to 2023. While the number of doctors has been increased from 100 in 1997 to 291 by 2021. Across the same period, the number of dentists rose from 6 to 59, nurses from 625 to 1,474, assistant nurses from 1,220 to 2,918, dental therapists from 11 to 165, pharmacists and pharmacy technicians from 97 to 486, laboratory technicians from 99 to 517, radiologists from 28 to 132, physiotherapy technicians from 6 to 140, and specialized doctors from 5 to 74 "

No "New Years Interview" from Isaias

Every year, we would usually have the same new years halewlew that talks about the "regional" issues around Eritrea and the "domestic" issues on Eritrea. Since independence day is rapidly approaching, could this possibly something big where the president discusses a sucessor, or reforms, or letting political prisoners free? Feels like something is being withheld right now imo, dunno if yall feel the same. Could be my optimistic side

When the Ethiopian πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡ΉTPLF army under Meles Zenawi invaded and occupied the city of Senafe, Akele Guzay, Eritrea πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡·, they destroyed the Belew Kelew Hawulti Geez Monument in Eritrea, the oldest Geez script in the world.

Links: The Hawulti was toppled and damaged[5][6] by Ethiopian troops in the short occupation of southern Eritrea during the Eritrean-Ethiopian War. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawulti_(monument)#:~:text=The%20Hawulti%20was%20toppled%20and,the%20National%20Museum%20of%20Eritrea.

The Claims Commission of the Permanent Court of Arbitration at The Hague ruled on 28 April 2004 in favor of Eritrea's claim that Ethiopian soldiers or other persons encamped following cessation of hostilities on the land surrounding the excavated ruins of the Aksumite period city site of Matara (also known locally as Belew Kelew) blew up the hawulti, or stele, the most famous artifact from the Matara archaeological site, which contains probably the oldest extant inscription in the Ethiopic language and script, sometime during the night of 30-31 May 2000. The complete text of the ruling can be obtained in PDF format at the PCA website's listing of Recent and Pending Cases.

Eritreans protesting in my city ?

Why are guys protesting ? I respect Eritreans for having that much pride for your country wanting to see a change. Somali need to do the same. I live in Canada.

Seriously!

I posted about the proposal to avoid talking about TPLF for just one month in this sub. Which was less than 48 hours ago, there has been 6 Posts about TPLF! Including one video of that woman from Mekele. Are we ok?

And to our Resident Spammer u/Advanced-Preferrence6 AKA u/Comfortable-Ebb8111 and the new account u/inexcusably_genius I presume, you need therapy or Mai Chelot.

Strength of the EDF

So I’ve been wondering for the longest time how the EDF compares to other (neighbouring) defence forces. I’ve seen articles where it was stated that the EDF is a capable and large army. But I’ve seen a lot of comments on this subreddit telling me the EDF is very incompetent.

Somalia has sent its soldiers to Eritrea for training, Abiy Ahmed requested the support of Eritrea in his struggle against the TPLF and Sudan has actively been seeking the support of Eritrea.

What are your thoughts about the strength of the EDF? Is it a force to be reckoned with or is it outclassed by its neighbours?

The American-Ethiopian Public Affairs committee (AEPAC) has stated in a letter to Biden that the TPLF gov of Ethiopia started the war with Eritrea in 1998. Thanks to all the peace-loving and honest Ethiopians who have admitted the truth about the painful war Ethiopian PM Meles waged on πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡· (opinion)

β€˜Children of a post–war generation that have held high hopes in the possibility that their lives would be distinctly different from that of their parents, whose lives have been marred by the terror of war with the DERG regime and a cross border conflict with Eritrea in the late 1990s instigated by the TPLF.β€˜

Can someone translate the general idea of this post?

I know this has nothing to do with Eritrea so I will delete it shortly! However, if anyone is willing to translate the general ideas in this video it would be appreciated. The only thing I understood is that people in her community were disappointed w/something she said in an interview. I watched the interview but didn’t find anything strange about it.

We Eritreans also remember when the Ethiopian army under the Tigrayan Peoples Liberation Front bombed Asmara airport on June 5, 1998. Asmara air port was destroyed.The TPLF first told the world Eritrea first bombed Ethiopia, but later Susan Rice admitted that Ethiopia bombed Eritrea first. πŸ’”

AP News live from Eritrea: https://youtu.be/Nn-ITYfOn_4?si=vjlIuCA1rb6lh3Z3

According to several sources Eritreans civilians have been killed by the Ethiopian bombing of Asmara

https://youtu.be/AP7xtSOCqsA?si=Jb8yDxtmTY0IAh73

Susan Rice former US Secretary of State of African affairs: As the ground fighting escalated, in June of 1998, Ethiopia launched airstrikes against Asmara airport. Eritrea made retaliatory strikes against the Ethiopian towns of Mekele and Adigrat, south of Zela Ambessa, hitting a school. Both sides then agreed to a U.S.-brokered airstrike moratorium, and fighting decreased to occasional exchanges of artillery and small-arms fire over a 9-month period. https://1997-2001.state.gov/policy_remarks/1999/990525_rice_eewar.html

Do you guys know anything about a big abandoned plane that is just southeast of Asmara, around 10 km NE from α‹“α‹² ጠሳ?

I used to go there sometimes and its just a plane that is all messed up, half of the planes body ( the tail side) is just a little seperated from the other half, its on a huge hill just 3 km outside of asmara, ive heard some people say its been there since the border wars happened.

I have a blurry memory of seeing Russian writing inside the plane, im not sure though, what do you guys know about it?

How can private construction companies boost the economy in Eritrea? Outside the capital and in the lowlands of Eritrea, there are plenty of uninhabited land where to build buildings. Promoting private construction companies can help overcome the housing crisis, and many developers and engineers can get jobs, and building new houses can help increase national GDP in Eritrea.

What random Tigrinya words sound like good names (that aren't already used as them)?

Always thought αˆαˆˆα‹›αŠ“α‹­ sounded like a pretty name for a girl. And that αˆ˜αŠ•αŠ₯αˆ°α‹­ መፍለሡ αŠαŒα‹³ and αŠ£ααˆ«α‹› sound like cool guy names, especially the last 2 when you consider what they mean.
