About Eritrea
Eritrea lies in the Horn of Africa, bordered by the Red Sea to the east. Its landscape ranges from the rugged highlands to arid lowlands and coastal plains. The country shares land borders with Sudan, Ethiopia, and Djibouti. This geographic diversity shapes its climate and traditional livelihoods.
Daily life in Eritrea often revolves around agriculture and herding, especially in rural areas. In the capital, Asmara, residents enjoy a relaxed pace amid Italian colonial architecture. Coffee ceremonies are a cherished custom, bringing people together for conversation. Family and community ties form the bedrock of social interactions.
Eritrea emerged as an independent state in 1993 after decades of conflict. Its relationship with Ethiopia has been marked by both war and détente. The country maintains a non-aligned stance in regional affairs. Its Red Sea coastline holds strategic significance for maritime trade routes.
