	VOA Reporter Escapes Eritrean Detention
		Aklilu was arrested in July 2003 several weeks after filing a report describing how families of Eritrean soldiers killed in the 1998 to 2000 border war with Ethiopia wailed and cried when the names of the soldiers were read out publicly.
		The Eritrean state-run media had reported that the families cheered and chanted when they heard the names of their relatives, proud that their relatives died in the war.
		At the end of last month, Reporters Without Borders appealed to Eritrean authorities to release at least eight state-owned media journalists the organization says were arrested November 12 and are being held in harsh conditions.

	The Making of the Eritrean Constitution
		Of course in the Eritrean case, the common goal was the fight for independence which evidently brings to the surface the common bonds, and would subordinate group demands or grievances to the common purpose.
		The majority of Eritreans that participated in the process of constitution making were persuaded by the argument that it is better to leave the question official language open and instead declare the equality of languages, and the Commission felt justified in writing the essence of the argument into the constitution.
		The reason why Eritreans living abroad were included in the process of constitution making, both in terms of their participation in the debate and in the Constituent Assembly, is the critical role they played during the armed struggle by providing intellectual, diplomatic and financial resources.

	Eritrean Americans
		Many Eritreans were forced to leave not only their homeland, but the African continent as well, relocating to the Arab peninsula and the United States.
		Most Eritreans living in the United States in the late 1990s expressed a desire to return to their homeland and the majority of Eritreans identified themselves as displaced people.
		Eritrean children are raised with a sense of patriotism.

	EthnoMed: Voices of the Eritrean Community
		Because Eritreans have been under colonial or alien domination for over 100 years, they have developed a strong sense of cooperation and desire to continue their culture.
		Eritreans are not comfortable taking off their clothes for physical examinations.
		During childbirth, most Eritrean women are not comfortable in a delivery room since in traditional birthing with a midwife, women don't open their legs to give birth.

	Eritrea - Cuisine
		Eritrean farmers raise goats, cattle, sheep, pigs and chickens for the local and Asmara markets.
		The Eritrean coffee, 'bun', pronounced as 'boon' is always made by a woman, who washes the green beans and roasts them in a pan called a 'menkeshkesh'.
		When the beans are dark enough, the pan with the smoking beans is passed around and one fans the smoke so as to appreciate the aroma of the freshly roasted beans.

	Eritrea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ummayads were already in direct possession of small stretches of the Eritrean coastline and the Dahlak archipelago by the 8th century.
		Members of the Eritrean Orthodox Church are sometimes described as Coptic Christians because it was formerly part of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, which was until 1959 subject to the Coptic Pope.
		The Eritrean Orthodox Church was granted autocephaly in 1993 by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church when Eritrea became independent, and, in 1998 the Archbishop of Asmara, the capital, was elevated to the rank of patriarchate.

	II Ethiopian Eritrean War, 1998 - 2000
		The Eritreans did their best to prepare for defence, and were right in doing so: when on the 4 of May 2000 the peace talks failed because of technicalities of implementing a peace accord, Ethiopian army started its latest attacks.
		Eritrean reports about this engagement indicate that they used their old tactics from the 1980s: they would monitor the operations of Ethiopian helicopters and aircraft very carefully, and then move their flaks somewhere along the usual routes.
		The Ethiopians, however, concerned of fuelling Eritrean claims that Addis Ababa wants to re-annex whole country, stopped their advance short of this city, instead turning south and marching on Areza: their left hook brought the Eritrean front to collapse and the Ethiopians hoped the message was delivered.

	Fighting Breaks Out Between Eritrea and Ethiopia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Ethiopia asserts that it has jurisdiction over a number of areas that used to be part of the Ethiopian administrative province of Tigray, but Eritrea claims those regions are now within its territory and has cited turn-of-the-century treaties between the Italian colonizers and the Ethiopian emperor as proof of their claims.
		Eritrean military officials deny invading Ethiopia and maintain it was the Ethiopian troops who penetrated nearly 12 miles into Eritrean territory.
		In interviews this week, Ethiopian officials said the Eritrean actions around Badame and Sheraro amounted to an invasion and that to start negotiations before Eritrean troops withdraw would be to surrender Ethiopian sovereignty over the region.

	[AIN] Asmarino Independent News - Resolutions on the Dangerous Developments in the Eritrean Orthodox Church (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		In the last seven years, owing to the unyielding efforts of the laypeople and the clergy of the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahdo Church, the number of churches in the North American Diocese has grown from 5 to 19.
		The second but primary objective of the message Abune Lukas read was to render the leadership of the North American Diocese of the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahdo Church, which has managed to bring the faithful in strong bond of unity, null and void.
		Yoftahe has, furthermore, consistently shown his determination through a series of illegal actions he has undertaken, whatever his reasons may be, to sow discord among the 13,000 adherents of the faithful that are organized in the 24 churches in our Diocese.

	RESOLUTION OF THE ETHIOPIAN-ERITREAN BORDER
		The Eritreans tried to propagandize them, I am sure, but this may have been counterproductive because so much of what the Eritreans claimed was false.
		Contrary to conventional journalistic "wisdom", the Eritrean War was not a border war at all.
		After the cease-fire the Eritreans spitefully bulldozed the town of Zalambessa, which had a population of 35,000, tore up electric and power lines and carried equipment and even roofing back to Eritrea.

	The Cause of the Eritrean-Ethiopian Border Conflict
		When in 1991 the EPLF led a united Eritrean people to their hard-earned freedom from Ethiopian rule, Ethiopia's fallacious premise that Eritrea forms an "inseparable part and parcel of Ethiopia" was finally defeated.
		The Eritrean side complained that contrary to the letter and spirit of the free trade agreement, Eritrean products were being made to pay indirect taxes and intermediate payments of various descriptions in every Ethiopian region or Kelil they entered.
		Eritrean products were mainly industrial in nature, whose materials and chemicals were paid for from its own foreign currency reserves.

	Eritrea - Eritrean Airlines
		Eritrean Airlines is a government-financed endeavor established in May 1991, when independence was won.
		Eritrean Airlines, short name B8 and member of IATA, operates scheduled passenger and cargo services from its Eritrean headquarters in Asmara to Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Rome, Milan and Nairobi, with more destinations to be added in the near future.
		Many of the pilots, mechanics and inspectors of Eritrean Airlines have their roots and received their training in Ethiopia as employees of Ethiopian Airlines, but were expelled from Ethiopia by the TPLF regime.

	Eritrean Culture
		Usual mode of eating Eritrean food is with fingers; however, silverware is used for other types of food.
		If you've been to an Eritrean restaurant, they probably used the injera as both plate and utensils.

	Crosswalk.com - Eritrean Military Jails 75 Protestant Conscripts
		Eritrean military authorities jailed 75 Protestant Christians last week at the Sawa Military Training Camp for "reading Bibles and praying during their free time," local sources in the small East Africa nation confirmed.
		Nearly 1,800 Eritrean Christians are now believed to be under arrest because of their religious beliefs, held in police stations, military camps and prisons in 12 known locations across Eritrea.
		The 78-year-old prelate went on to demand that the abbots and theologians of the church be convened to resolve the matter according to canon law.

	ICRC repatriates Eritrean prisoners of war
		Geneva (ICRC) – On Saturday 3 November, 23 Eritrean prisoners of war (POWs) were repatriated from Ethiopia under the auspices of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
		The last repatriation of Eritrean POWs from Ethiopia had taken place on 11 March 2001, when 242 prisoners went home under ICRC auspices.
		Under the Third Geneva Convention, which governs the treatment of prisoners of war and was specifically referred to in the Algiers agreement, former warring parties have the obligation to release and repatriate all POWs without delay following the cessation of active hostilities.

	19 Eritrean athletes participated at the 34th IAAF (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		This is a historic moment in Eritrean athletics and a time to be proud of the hard work and dedication put in by all the athletes, coaches and organizations.
		This shows the commitment of the coaches, athletes, the Eritrean national athletics federation and one group of people whom I want to say are doing a fine job.
		Because this is a great opportunity to speak about the victories it is also imperative to say thanks to all who are putting in the time and dedication for a major cause that has a very positive end result.

	The Eritrean Debacle
		The trauma of the war knocked every Eritrean household and this in turn influenced the minds of many EPLF members, which led to the emergence of the political crisis at the level of party apparatus.
		As a pro-war party, all of them were pivotal in pushing Eritrea and the Eritrean people into a devastating war with Ethiopia and all the way they remained stubborn and defiant ignoring all peaceful options to end the war.
		The Eritrean people too should not be expected to be indifferent to the raging struggle in Eritrea between a side that admits the seriousness of the Eritrean problem and another that prefers to deny the existence of any problem or that locates the danger on external forces.

	Nine Eritrean journalists arrested
		Reporters Without Borders is appalled by a new round-up of journalists by the Eritrean government, in which at least nine state-owned media employees have been arrested since 12 November and are being held at undisclosed locations in conditions that are probably extremely harsh.
		ERITREAN DIASPORA - Eritrean journalists who have been enduring worsening political repression have fled the country and their whereabouts remain unknown, an Eritrean opposition website reported on November 20.
		The disappearances have prompted the Isaias government, one of the most repressive regimes in Africa, to conduct a wholesale detention of those journalists who were working for the state-owned media but were suspected of having ties with those who have already deserted Asmara.

	afrol News: Eritrean Diaspora protests Dutch aid
		Ahmed Nasser, Chairman of the Eritrean Liberation Front-RC (ELF-RC), wrote to Mrs Herfkens, reminding the Minister of the long list of human rights violations committed by the Eritrean PFDJ regime and that "the regime has failed for eight months to meet the demands of the international community" to respect basic rights standards.
		According to the Ministry, Dutch cooperation with Eritrea and neighbouring Ethiopia "is based upon two pillars; the durable fight against poverty and the furtherance of international peace, security and stability," the latter "pillar" mainly referring to the Dutch contribution to the UN peacekeepers on the Eritrean-Ethiopian border.
		The exiled Eritreans were not against "friendly aid that might remain, irrespective of the possible changes of governments, on the ground to the benefit of our people," Nasser wrote the Dutch Minister.

	Eritrean soldiers occupy UN buffer zone
		This is sovereign Eritrean territory and this is perfectly understandable," presidential adviser Yemane Ghebremeskel told Reuters recently.
		That's just the Eritrean government's way of poking their finger at the eyes of the international community as a whole," Meles said.
		Meles and Eritrean president Isaias Afwerki were comrades-in-arms during the toppling of former dictator Mengistu Haile Mariam, but quickly fell out culminating in war at the end of the 1990s and political standoff since then.

	Eritrean-Ethiopian War
		This was due in part to his inability to crush the Eritrean rebels and also because of his focus on foreign policy in favor of minding the power struggles within his own nation.
		The Eritreans, conversely, were not supported by anyone and got most of their weapons by stealing them from Ethiopian troops.
		But the Eritreans held their ground over three months of fighting and inflicted tens of thousands of casualties in the harsh desert battles.

	American Chronicle: Eritrean government: running out of propaganda tricks
		These Eritrean news sources might as well change their names to the regions they cover instead of calling themselves “Eritrean.” People might have to wait a whole year before they can hear about any Eritrean reporter discussing how to challenge the policies of the Eritrean government.
		When the Eritrean government laughably told the United Nations not to send foreign peacekeepers inside Somalia, the world was wondering what to call the thousands of Eritreans already training with the jihadists.
		But all of the sudden, the Eritrean government came to the picture and by giving military aid to OLF rebels; it came to “the rescue” of the dying, backward OLF while blocking the progressive OLF.
