If Eritreans do not form a union or organization today that can stop these policies of injustice meant to destabilize their economy their offspring will continue to be pushed out of their homeland. If I was Eritrean I would infiltrate hgdef when Isaias dies and replace the anti economic policies of the state through a silent revolution in coordination with the underpaid shabia soldiers

I don’t feel like I am in Africa when I’m in Eritrea. The typical African images an average Chinese associates Africa - lions, steppes, deserts, the Nile River, the Tazara Railway and Mount Kilimanjaro - are nowhere to be seen.
Eritrea is one of the least-developed countries. But for someone like me who is used to hardships, having food, clothes, and shelter means a life of happiness. Witnessing the simple and happy life of the Eritrean people, I feel there is nothing wrong with this place. Especially, the climate here is extraordinary - not too hot or too cold, with no need to worry about what clothes to wear or keep thick clothes in my closet. The air is fresh, with blue skies and white clouds every day. It’s so beautiful that you can easily capture a postcard-worthy photo with a click.
It’s worth mentioning that although Eritrea is not rich, when Wenchuan in Sichuan Province of China was seriously hit by an earthquake in 2008, they donated $50,000. An underdeveloped yet generous country deserves our respect.
Eritrea also enjoys very advantageous geographical location. Situated at the northeastern tip of Africa, next to the gateway to the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean, it is truly a maritime country. It faces Saudi Arabia and Yemen across the sea, and its neighbours to the south are Ethiopia and Djibouti. The land area is approximately 124,000 square km, with a population of about 6.7 million. In terms of land area, it ranks 96th in the world, and in population, it ranks 130th globally.
The country’s natural resources are also quite abundant. The Asmara polymetallic mine, invested by China, is currently the largest joint venture between China and Eritrea, with proven reserves of over 90 million tonnes of copper, zinc and other ores. With a 1,200-km coastline, the country has only three harbours for docking cargo ships. Fishing resources are incredibly rich but are mostly left in their natural state. If its resources can be tapped into reasonably and effectively, Eritrea would be much stronger than it is now. It should have no problem joining the ranks of middle-income countries. Therefore, I look forward to a better future for Eritrea.
