eritrea by Michael G.amlak May 10, 2003
Eritrea is a former province of Ethiopia located in the horn of Africa, and is now a country after gaining independence in 1991. The country of Eritrea was better off as a province in Ethiopia since after they left they got a brutal dictator as leader of their country. Eritreans were colonized by Italy and have had conflicts with every single country that's next to them.
