Here is the program of the Eritrean Jihadi Islamist groups who are aspiring to create "heaven" on the Red Sea coast called Islamic Republic of Eritrea
This was translated by Jihadist groups who recide in California (Awate Group) and the Jeberti al Nahda, Islamic groups in Europe and Australia
The Eritrean Islamic Jihad Movement seeks to change and reform a new Eritrea by Islamizing and Arabizing it in accordance with the Islamic Sharia law and the Sunnah of His Messenger (s.a.w), this can be summarized into two basic aspects, Da'wa and Jihad.
In the shade of this preface which is based on Islamic principles, the axes of change with the Jihad movement revolve in the following:
1- Armed struggle and training youth.
2- Da'wa and education, which works to destroy the fallacies of the regime and educates the Eritrean people to bring together their creed and religious requirements.
3- In the political and the Media through manifesting the various political policies and the creation of the necessary organisational moulds so that we can avoid the enemies' plots. In this, we accompany the Qur'an and Sunnah and aim to fulfill as a group all the aims therein and to realise our position as servants of Allah, and to establish the Islamic State.
4- Despite our shortage of resources on the economic front, we consider it to be one of the main pillars for the movement for Islamic change, since spending the money was given preference and priority over the lives in most verses of the Qur'an, and since the lack of funds could set back many activities.
5- The external front, which is also of the fundamental areas for any group which looks to change and reform. This is a very sensitive front from the aspect of our strategic security, and it requires well-planned external activities to expose the regime. In this respect we:
a- Liaise and exchange our experience and expertise with other Muslim organisations which also work to challenge the various corrupt regimes in the region.
b- Concentrate our activities amongst Muslims through means which will enable them to see the conspiracies of the enemies and their plots to uproot Islam and Muslims.
c- Strive to generate the suitable opportunities to support our Jihad through Islamic means.
d- Move around neighbouring countries and expose the corruption of the Eritrean regime and its danger over the entire region on the religious, security, and political fronts.
Generally speaking, the process of change is an encompassing one which aims at the creeds, the concepts, the knowledge, the principles, the values and the morals, Allah Most High said: "Truly, Allah does not change the condition of a people until they change what is inside themselves." [13: 11].

If Eritrea somehow become The Islamic Republic of Eritrea with Sharia Islamic law as its basic law, then Eritrea's fate will not be different from the fate of many Arab Abid slaves, such as Zoomalia, Sudan, Syria, Libya, Yemen and Afghanistan.

Within five years, a militant Salafi faction emerged under Shaykh Abu Suhail (also known as
Muhammad Ahmad), who participated in the Afghan jihad against the Soviets. He is
mentioned as the leader of the Eritrean Jihad movement in documents captured from al-
Qaeda in Afghanistan.
II. The Eritrean Islamic Jihad Movement (EJIM)
Eritrean separatism began in earnest during World War II, as Eritrea passed from
Italian to British rule in 1941 and remained under British administration until 1950. Arab
states pushed for independence given the large Muslim population and ties to the Arab
world from that community. The initial constitution in 1952 was ratified by Emperor of
Ethiopia, Haile Selassie, but Eritrea and Ethiopia were linked through a federal system,
under the sovereignty of the emperor. Eritreans resisted Ethiopian rule and began armed
struggle for their independence in 1958.
The Eritrean Islamic Jihad Movement (EIJM) began activity in 1975 when a
group of Islamist-minded guerillas split off from the Eritrean Liberation Front (ELF) that
had been fighting since the beginning of the Eritrean independence movement. The EIJM
was formally established in 1980. Since independence in 1993, the EIJM (and its
factions) have been the principal Muslim opposition group in Eritrea, seeking the violent
overthrow of the ELF government led by President Isaias Afewerki. EIJM claims to only
target the Eritrean government and its apparatus in the country, not Western targets, and
seeks the establishment of an Islamic caliphate in Eritrea.
The group is based in Sudan and is made up primarily of dissidents from the ELF,
conservative Eritrean (and some other Muslims from Horn of Africa countries), and a
Muslim youth network. The group is also known by a variety of other names—the
Eritrean Islamic Reform Movement, the Abu Suhail organization, the Eritrean Islamic
Salvation Movement, and the Eritrean Islamic Party for Justice and Development—but
many of these appear to be break-away groups that operate with some degree of
autonomy.
This is reflective of the climate for political and militant Islamic organizations in
the Horn of Africa. Like other neighboring countries during the last three decades, Eritrea
saw a number of Salafi organization rise to popularity, where before the mid-1950s the
ideology had been largely alien to this region. In the 1980s, the Jabhat Tahrir al-Iritriyya
al-Islamiyya al-Wataniyya (The National Eritrean Islamic Liberation Front), the
Munzamat al-Ruwwad al-Muslimin al-Iritria (The Organization of Eritrean Pioneer
Muslims), al-Intifada al-Islamiyya (Islamic Awakening) and others were founded, some
in Sudan. By 1988, these organizations merged to form the EIJM.
This union of militant Islamists, however, continued to fragment. Within five
years, a militant Salafi faction emerged under Shaykh Abu Suhail (also known as
Muhammad Ahmad), who participated in the Afghan jihad against the Soviets. He is
mentioned as the leader of the Eritrean Jihad movement in documents captured from al-
Qaeda in Afghanistan1.... continue ...

Look how the Eritrean Jihadi ISIS spreads lies:
According to the Arab Organization for Human Rights in the UK, the center raided by Eritrean security forces was founded in 1969 on a charitable endowment by citizen Sayid Muhammad Dawood.
It was not merely a Quranic school but a cornerstone for preserving the local Muslim community’s religious and cultural identity for decades.
Generations of scholars and preachers graduated from it, and some children walked an hour and a half to reach it.
The organization noted that this event is not an exception but part of a continuous record of violations. Since the 1990s, measures have included closing historic institutes such as the Islamic Religion Institute in Keren (1961), the Anseba Islamic Institute (1963), the Ashab al-Yameen Institute (1969), and the Islamic Institute in Ghinda itself.
Also closed were the al-Diaa Islamic School in Asmara (1967), and later the al-Diaa and al-Bukhari Center between 2000 and 2020. Four mosques in Mendefera were demolished in 1995 and 1996.
These are not isolated administrative decisions but part of an ongoing plan to dismantle any independent Islamic institution outside the regime’s control.
