My take: What Eritrea achieved after independence? Was it worth it?

Post by Fed_Up » 28 Dec 2024, 20:17

The lists merely include all achievements. However, all this progress made despite the sanctions, no war no peace, and multiple wars from a pathetic neighbor countries. So this my list and you all are welcome to add more.


1- After valiantly overcoming the colonizers through determined resistance, Eritrea achieved its hard-won independence via a referendum that was heralded as transparent and equitable. Since that pivotal moment, Eritrea has embarked on an ambitious and transformative journey, working tirelessly to rebuild its society and infrastructure from the ground up. This process has involved the revitalization of its economy, the establishment of essential institutions, and the fostering of a national identity that celebrates its rich heritage and aspirations for the future.

2- Today, a significant portion of the Eritrean population, particularly those in rural areas, often feels overlooked during colonial eras. Yet, the nation has made substantial strides in providing essential services: free education is available to all citizens, alongside clean and adequate water supplies, comprehensive healthcare, and improved access to transportation and communication. Additionally, there is a commitment to regional self-governance, with promises of fair and free elections to empower the local populace.

3- In Eritrea, the citizens hold rights to their ancestral land, sea, and air, promoting a strong sense of ownership and stewardship over their resources. The country has also made impressive advancements in establishing a robust self-defense military, including a modern air force, navy, and ground forces capable of safeguarding its sovereignty.

4- Eritrea has entered a new era of industrial development, marking a significant departure from its historical context since the great empire of Adulis. The nation is home to over twenty national mining industries, alongside burgeoning food processing, agricultural, and fishery sectors. Notably, potash mining has reached world-class standards, indicating a diversified and promising economic landscape.

5- Infrastructure has seen remarkable growth, with thousands of miles of paved roads enhancing connectivity across the nation. The construction of numerous small and large dams has enabled the country to produce food crops multiple times a year, ensuring food security and self-reliance.

6- Eritrea has achieved self-sufficiency not only in food production but also in defense capabilities, helping to alleviate electricity shortages in rural and smaller towns. Furthermore, advancements in higher education have propelled Eritrea to rank as the ninth-best educational institution in Africa within just 21 years, showcasing a commitment to knowledge and skill development.

7-The government has taken proactive measures to prepare all Eritreans, ensuring they are well-trained and equipped for any challenges. This military preparedness has contributed to cultivating a highly intelligent society, arming them with the capabilities necessary to defend the nation against any external threats.

8- Since gaining independence in 1993, Eritrea has made significant strides in housing development, constructing numerous homes despite the challenges posed by ongoing sanctions. The country has focused on enhancing its infrastructure, particularly by renovating existing ports and building a new third shipping port, as well as improving airport facilities to boost connectivity.

9- Eritrea is also notable for its diplomatic presence, hosting 24 embassies from various countries, which underscores its importance on the global stage. Most importantly, Eritrea stands out as the most stable and peaceful nation in the troubled Horn of Africa region, offering a refuge amidst the surrounding turmoil.

10- Eritrea, a proud African nation with a rich history that spans over 30 years, has recently achieved a remarkable milestone by winning the prestigious Tour de France. This victory not only highlights Eritrea's dominance in cycling but also marks their impressive streak as Africa’s cycling champion for a consecutive 10 years. In addition to cycling, Eritrea is renowned for producing world-class talent across various sports, including football and athletics, showcasing the country's commitment to athletic excellence and its vibrant sporting heritage after independence.

11- Looking ahead, Eritrea is poised for remarkable growth, with the potential for exponential economic expansion on the horizon. In my view, the price of Eritrea's independence is undoubtedly 1000% worthwhile, and we remain committed to fostering peace and progress within the nation.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the people of Eritrea, acknowledging the unwavering commitment of our leaders and the courageous efforts of our armed forces. They are the true guardians of peace and steadfast protectors of our nation. We are immensely thankful for their dedication, and we owe them countless expressions of appreciation.
12- Eritreans are #1
Happy New Year, Eritrea!!

Thank you Shabia!!

1. Is there any hope the Eritrean mass exodus to Ethiopia will stop? Ethiopian taxpayers, most of whom are Gurages and Amaras are burdened. No matter what, Ethiopians should never demand 'One Kidney for a refugee status' like Egypt does.

2. The referendum result that is claimed to have run free and fair giving Eritrea independence from Ethiopia had not been certified by the Ethiopian parliament. Meles Zeradwa's letter to the UN must have followed the Ethiopian parliaments' certification of the referendum result. Therefore, the referendum is null and void. It doesn't have a lega binding on Ethiopia. It has to be done again.

3. A referebdum law did not exist to specify the conduct of the referendum. So the conduct of the refrendum without a law on conduct of refrendum even if approved by the Pariaments was illegal as well as its processes and results.

4. The only farmable lands are the lands of the Kunama in the west of Eritrea bordering Sudan. All their ancestral lands have been nationalized and displaced. Most of them sought refugee in Ethiopia.

5. Eritrea does not have a constition. No parlianent but council.of beaurocrats selected by the Fuhrer. No elections in Eritrea. It's ruled by the whimsical directives of one King Until his Demise.

6. No free press. No freedom of religion. At present, there is a government intiated movement to marginalize Islam, the majoriry religion of Eritrea.

7. The Tigrinya speakers whom Ethiopians refer to as the Kebesas, i.e, the Hamasiens and Akel-Guzais, are frowned upon as settlers, foreigners or in point blank term as Ethiopians for Enemies.

8. Most Ethiopians, however, hated the economic sanctions Meles Zeradwa was able to impose on Eritrea using his western backers, out of hatred toward him, rather than out of love toward ascaris. Abiy Ahmed, for his own reason, made peace and the West lifted its sanctions against this desolate country of cactus, gravels, and sands. A good-for-nothing strip of land along the Red Sea coast no one likes.

:lol: :lol: :lol: These dumb asses, we have 7 graders which dont even know basic mathematics and there are they are talking that the regime is striving to elevate Eritreans to the highest peak in education. In regard to election? :mrgreen: Which election? there is non, what you have is a brutal barbaric dictator which totally disregard to the aspiration of the entire people.

We have ground forces who still don't even have basic military uniform or boots on their feet. Modern warfare is about unmanned drones and educated people who are able to operate them 24/7 in all weather condition, given officers are jus old veteran fighters who just like the dictator are stuck in 80-90 mindset, I dont think Eritrea has drones and people who operate them. And that is where the Galla is investing heavily, under his emirates and Turkish custodian Ethiopia has more than 125 drones including 4 Turkish made bayrakatar and a number of Chinese made stealthy ch-7 drones.

Wedi medhin berad pussies, no country in the world including in Africa prospered by exporting its raw material to outside, if countries could have obtained wealth via exporting their mineral resources Ghana would have been the Hong Kong of Africa. As long as there is no mechanism to encourage Eritreans to return home and invest in their country, there will never be any economic activity in Eritrea and the country will fade away just like a leaf.

There is no visible infrastructure projects in the entire Eritrea, all roads were constructed during the Italian period. For F@@ck sake, there is no even a paved from Asmara lets say Adi-Abieto or Tsaazega and here are regime supporters talking about non existent infrascture.

When the Dictator is admitting that he doesn't have any clue what students do after their graduation, why do cheerleaders keep deceiving people that the country is going forward? Lets face is, thanks to the rule of the dictator, Eritrea is a depressing country which squeezes out of any one soul. no economic activity, nothing.

To prolong his dictatorship, the regime is systematically using the method of divide and conquer and dividing Eritreans along ethnic, religion and regional lines hence to claim the regime is a uniting force is preposterous.

The so called Eritreans embassies in the diaspora are just a place where regime cells gather "intelligence" of the movement and activities of Eritrean diaspora on which their purpose is to divide and conquer.
