	Politics of Eritrea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Politics of Eritrea takes place in a framework of a presidential republic, whereby the President of Eritrea is both head of state and head of government and a single-party state, led by the People's Front for Democracy and Justice.
		Eritrea is divided into 6 regions (or zobas) and subdivided into approximately 55 districts or sub-zobas.
		Central to the continuation of the stalemate is Ethiopia's failure to abide by the border delimitation ruling and reneging on its commitment to demarcation.

	Ethiopia and Eritrea: allergic to persuasion
		Eritrea took the news altogether more coolly, putting out a statement attacking the “flowery and bombastic statements” that were issued by Ethiopia and declaring simply “it is the Eritrean people who have emerged victorious.” In the event they were right.
		Eritrea deemed these “secondary issues” — compared to the primary issue of compelling Ethiopia to accept the boundary decision — and was unimpressed by a Security Council warning that UNMEE would be reduced in size and scope unless the restrictions were lifted.
		Eritrea’s use of at least two brigades, supported by tanks and artillery was a disproportionate response and therefore violated the UN Charter.

	The Forthcoming Ethiopian Elections
		Given the secession of Eritrea and having a constitution that allows the break-up of the country, Ethiopians’ deep concern and fears about the future of the country are not unwarranted.

		First, the people are well aware of the significance of the upcoming election than the previous elections; they are energized and galvanized to exercise their right and to control their own destiny; they are expected to stand firm to defend their rights in the event that rigging of the election occurs; this is encouraging.

		On 22 September 2003, Eritrea issued a communiqué regarding the Eritrea-Ethiopia boundary dispute that is replete with distortions and misstatements.
		Eritrea has flatly refused to resolve these remaining disputes because it wishes to preserve the boundary dispute as a weapon to suppress internal dissent and to justify continuing its aggressive policies toward Ethiopia.
		The communiqué demonstrates Eritrea’s callous indifference to the residents of the communities, both Ethiopian and Eritrean, that would be torn apart by a strict superimposition of the provisional line.

	The Triple Transition in Eritrea
		Elections were influenced, opponents of Ethiopian rule harassed and imprisoned, Amharic was substituted in the place of native languages, and important symbols such as the Eritrean flag were replaced with their Ethiopian counterparts.
		In post-conflict Eritrea all are requested to accede to the socio-cultural and economic development policies of the government, whose programmes are indelibly stamped by decisions made in times of war and projects implemented in the liberated areas.
		In the Eritrea Profile of 13th September 1997, Isaias questioned the construct that enables the fiction of good governance in the context of African states’ “incorrigibly corrupt political elite.” The GoE position is clear: democracy has to evolve, not be imposed from without on existing structures; western forms are not to be adopted uncritically.

		In most countries, elections are planned a few years after the signing of a peace agreement to give citizens a chance to choose the leaders that will take them into the next phase of reconstruction.
		Post-conflict elections can be an opportunity for women to express newly found political impact or it can be a time where advances made during conflict and post-conflict periods can be stripped away.
		As a consequence, the “success” of an election may be judged not so much on the basis of the criteria, which normally apply in democratic countries, but on the extent to which it has contributed to the political process of ending conflict.

		Multi-party elections will be held only after the 1993 referendum and the formation of a constituent assembly and independent judiciary.
		Apparently, the Provisional Government of Eritrea is concerned that the policy of the EPRDF in neighboring Ethiopia, which supports ethnic self-determination (at least in rhetoric), might have repercussions in Eritrea, provoking ethnic minorities there also to raise the question of self-determination.
		Eritrean leaders are concerned that the ongoing political turmoil and inter-ethnic conflict in Ethiopia might spill over into Eritrea, especially in that region inhabited by the Afars who straddle the borders of Eritrea, Djibouti, and Ethiopia and want their own unified state.

		With 15 journalists in prison or otherwise deprived of their liberty, Eritrea is also the fourth leading jailer of journalists in the world after China, Cuba and Ethiopia.
		Most of the journalists were jailed in a crackdown in which the government swept up opposition leaders and shut down the entire private press.
		At the time, Eritrean officials variously accused the journalists of avoiding the military draft, threatening national security, and failing to observe licensing requirements, but CPJ research indicates that they were targeted as part of a drive to suppress political dissent ahead of scheduled elections, which the government subsequently canceled without explanation.
