      One thing I wonder watching these videos about Eritrea,
      how much do these houses cost?
      I mean if you are a young person wanting to get your own
      house, what are the prices really? In the local currency
      Not just hyped up prices aimed at a potential foreign buyer.
      Maybe you can shed some light since you know the place.

      The 2009 sanction by the UN has nothing to do with the economy of the country, Eritrea armed and give a safe haven for Somalia terrorists,
      Here is the sanction as it is written on the UN website.
      Imposing an embargo on arms and associated materiel to and from Eritrea, the Council called upon all States to inspect all cargo to and from Somalia and Eritrea, and upon discovery of prohibited items, to seize and dispose of them. It decided that travel restrictions and an asset freeze should apply to individuals, including but not limited to, the Eritrean political and military leadership, so designated by the Committee on Somalia Sanctions, as well as to governmental and parastatal actors and entities privately owned by Eritrean nationals living within or outside Eritrean territory, so designated by the same Committee. Also by the text, the Council expanded the Committee’s mandate to undertake those additional tasks, as well as that of the Monitoring Group assisting the Committee.

    It’s one of the best part of Eritrea to enjoy and visit. The drive there is worthwhile. Pure nature going from 2500 meter all the way to zero in 2 hours. You will experience three climate zones.
    The beach is just spectacular, sand and blue and very, very clean.
    One night stay is not that expensive …. It’s better to stay overnight so you go to the beach in the afternoon and morning.
    You will experience the world revolving around and how you will see the tides leaves the shore and comes back the next day. You know the staff you learn in geography:) the moon and magnet
    You can take a bus that goes down and get back next day.

    Asmara looks nice and also clean. If I’m honest though,I feel there’s a little sad vibe, I don’t know why. May be it’s because there are very few people on the streets and there’s not much activity compared to other capital cities. It just doesn’t feel a happy city, sorry. May be I’m wrong and it’s a wrong impression. I wish happiness and prosperity to the people of Eritrea 🇪🇷

      Crime and corruption make African cities look vibrant and alive and Eritrea is crime and corruption free. All Eritrean youths are in Sawa training camp, and the rest are on the borders. That is the reason what you got that is the vibe you got. Asmara is the safest city in the world. And one can only ask for safety.

There are 400 prisons and dungeons in Eritrea. This is the reason Eritrea produces more refugees on earth than any nation, second only to Muslim Jihadi nation of Afghanistan. Everyone wants to run away from Eritrea and escape to any nation around.

    A little tip that may come handy in future - if you keep loosely tight your four fingers on one side and your thumb freely moving to adjust the size of your bite ((kulaso ...as we call it)) it makes enjoying your meal much more satisfying.
    So,
    1. cut a size of Injera you choose with fingers free.
    2. Four fingers joined to scoop sauce , egg, meat, etc...while you thumb helps to hold it together.
    3. Once you have a bite size of your desire, pick it up put into your mouth.
