Eritrea & Israel!

Jewish people first settled in Eritrea in the late 19th century, emigrating from Yemen in search of econominc & commercial opportunities. In 1905, the Asmara Hebrew Congregation was formed. During the 1930s, many Jews arrived in Eritrea fleeing Nazi persecution in Europe.

On June 26, 1943 Great Britain proposed the creation of Jewish colonies in Eritrea as the extension Jewish settlement in Palestine. But, this proposal did not materialize.

In 1940s, the British set up an internment camp for the the Irgun & the Stern groups that were attacking British targets. One of these prisoners was the late Israeli PM Yitzhak Shamir, who attempted to escape but was captured.



In Nov, 1947 Ethiopia abstained in the UNGA vote on the partitioning of Palestine, which sanctioned the establishment of the State of Israel. In 1952, Israel abstained in Res.390 (V)UN Res that federated Eritrea with Ethiopia. In 1993, Israel recognized Eritrea.

During Emp. Hailesellasie Imperial Regime, Israel had a dozen or more advisers on counterinsurgency based in Eritrea. They organized, trained and supplied Ethiopian commandos & frontier guards-men, whose members numbered 3,200 and 1,200 respectively.

In Feb 1978, after Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan's public acknowledgement of Israeli-Ethiopian military ties, despite Derg's official anti-Zionism policy, Mengistu ordered the expulsion of Israelis.

In a Dec 1989, former US President Jimmy Carter, who was mediating between the EPLF & Ethiopia disclosed that Israel provided Ethiopia with cluster bombs that the Ethiopian Air Force used in Eritrea.

In Sep, 1998, despite pleas from Eritrea, PM Netanyahu, decided to allow Elbit Systems to supply upgraded MiG-21 fighter jets to the Ethiopian air force during the war b/n Eritrea & Ethiopia. Eritrea protested the act, as taking sides in the war.

Eritrea in eastern Africa, sometimes called "North Korea in Africa." It is not well known, but many Italian-style buildings still exist due to its long rule in Italy. In this second installment of the mysterious Eritrea, we will cover the cityscape of the capital city of Asmara, which has been designated as a World Heritage Site.

It was around 1890 that Italy, like other powers, colonized the country as a base for expanding into Africa.

Until 1941, a church, cinema and bank were built in Asmara and were called "the second Rome" and "Little Rome". In 2017, it was designated as a World Heritage Site as "African Modernist City".

The main street in the center of Asmara is the Catholic cathedral. In Asmara, where there are few tall buildings, the clock tower is a sign to take a walk. Nearby is the Eritrean Orthodox Church. Both came on Sundays of worship, so many followers were praying.

The gas station building, designed by an Italian architect, is an airplane. It is full of playfulness, but it seems that both wings may collapse, so it is currently closed. On the way from Asmara, which has an altitude of over 2,000 km, to Massawa in the eastern part of the low altitude, camel gently descended on the road between the mountains.

If you're tired of visiting World Heritage sites, it's a good idea to visit coffee shops throughout the city. Drink coffee or tea and take a break like locals. Looking at the street from the store, Japanese cars from the 80's were still running today. In some cars, the wipers did not work well and the rear seat doors did not open, but it also seemed to match the old building's remaining landscape.
