Eritrea is recognized internationally, with data accessible via sources like FocusEconomics and the IMF; however, formal transparency and reporting in Eritrea remain limited

It’s not because Somaliland is Richer then Eritrea infact Eritrea has far more resources and gold and other sort of minerals. And more farm land .Somaliland has only livestock but Somaliland has an open market and they have brought investment to their Ports , where as Eritrea potential is there but because of wedi afom the country is under stagnation. Somaliland if u bring investment from any other country the goverment there wont stop you . As long as u Employ more then 65 percent locals in Eritrea an Eritrean bussinessman isn’t allowed to invest in his own country there Arent any private owned companies I suppose

Do you really think the skunis are going to reply to your legitimate questions....In their typical defend mechanism, they might raise Woyane, Cia, Mossad, Jihadists every thing between the sky and earth..

Eritrea is held destitute by design.

Jealous Agame scumbag, he has the nerve to compare Eritrea with Somalia, stupid Agame, Northern Somalia is the richest region in Somalia, It is home to a wider array of mineral resources ranging from uranium, iron ore, tin, gypsum, bauxite, copper, manganese, coal, gold, cobalt, lithium, molybdenum, beryllium, oil, natural gas and many more.

I can't believe the scumbag just said that Eritrea has more farm land than northern Somalia, where are Eritrean farmland and minerals located? Eritrea has potash in Afar region, nothing else.

Agame scumbag tell us more about Eritrea natural resources, farm land and their locations.

It appears they are currently preoccupied with the transfer of new castles Alexander Isaac to Liverpool, and thus prefer to discuss any topic other than Eritrea and its pressing economic and infrastructural challenges.
