Amapof Eritrea

Eritreais a country on theeasterncoast ofAfrica.Its official name isThe State of Eritrea.


Eritrean highlands.

Eritrea is located on thecoastof theRed Sea.It is north of theBab-el-Mandeband theHorn of Africa.Eritrea has borders with the countries ofSudan,Ethiopia,andDjibouti.The landareaof Eritrea is 101,000 km², and it is one of the smallest countries in Africa.[51]

Eritrea became anindependentcountry on May 24, 1993.[51]It is one of the newest countries in the world.

Many different countries have ruled the land that is now called Eritrea. Between 1885 and 1941 it was acolonyofItaly.Between 1941 and 1952, theUnited Nationsput it under the protection of theUnited Kingdom.After 1952, Eritrea became a part ofEthiopia.[51]This was the reason for a longcivil warbetween the Eritreans and the government of Ethiopia.

Eventually, in 1993, Eritrea became an independent country after avoteby its people.[51]

Eritreansare the native inhabitants of Eritrea, as well as the global diaspora of Eritreans displaced by theEritrean War of Independenceand seeking refuge from human rights violations by the Eritrean government. Eritreans constituteseveral component ethnic groups,many of which are closely related to ethnic groups inEthiopiaand other parts of theHorn of Africa.

The Eritrean national identity began to develop during theScramble for Africa,whenItalyclaimed Eritrea as one of its colonies. This marked the establishment of Eritrea's present-day borders.[52]Following Italy's defeat inWorld War IIand the subsequentBritishadministration of Eritrea, the former colony wasfederated with Ethiopiain 1952. Tensions increased through the 1950s between Eritreans wishing for independence and the Ethiopian government, culminating in the Eritrean War of Independence.

The majority of theTigrinyainhabit the highlands of Eritrea; however, migration to other parts of the country has occurred. Their language is calledTigrinya.They are the largest ethnic group in the country, constituting about 60% of the population.[75]The predominantly Tigrinya populated urban centers in Eritrea are the capitalAsmara,Mendefera,Dekemhare,Adi Keyh,Adi QualaandSenafe,while there is a significant population of Tigrinya in other cities includingKeren,andMassawa.

They are 96% Christians, (of which 90% are of theEritrean Orthodoxfaith, 5%Roman CatholicandEastern Catholic(whose mass is held inGe'ezas opposed to Latin), and 5% belonging to variousProtestantand other Christian denominations, the majority of which belong to the (Lutheran) Evangelical Church of Eritrea).

The Tigre reside in the western lowlands in Eritrea. Many also migrated to Sudan at the time of the Ethiopian-Eritrean conflict and lived there since. They are a nomadic and pastoralist people, related to theTigrinyaand to theBeja people.They are a predominantly Muslim nomadic people who inhabit the northern, western, and coastal lowlands of Eritrea, where they constitute 30% of local residents.[75]Some also inhabit areas in eastern Sudan. 95% of the Tigre people adhere to the Islamic religionSunni Islam,but there are a small number of Christians among them as well (often referred to as the Mensaï in Eritrea). Their language is calledTigre.

TheJeberti peoplein Eritrea trace descent from early Muslim adherents. The termJebertiis also locally sometimes used to generically refer to all Islamic inhabitants of thehighlands.[76]The Jeberti in Eritrea speakArabicandTigrinya.[77]They account for about 4% of the Tigrinya speakers in the nation.

According to the CIA, the Afar constitute under 5% of the nation's population.[75]They live in theDebubawi Keyih Bahri Regionof Eritrea, as well as theAfar Regionin Ethiopia, andDjibouti.They speak theAfar languageas a mother tongue, and are predominantly Muslim. Afars in Eritrea number about 397,000 individuals, the smallest population out of the countries they reside in. In Djibouti, there are about 780,000 group members, and in Ethiopia, they number approximately 1,300,000.

The Saho represent 4% of Eritrea's population.[75]They principally reside in theDebubawi Keyih Bahri Regionand theNorthern Red Sea Regionof Eritrea.

The Bilen in Eritrea represent around 2% of the country's population.[75]They are primarily concentrated in the north-central areas, in and around the city ofKeren,and south towardsAsmara,the nation's capital. Many of them entered Eritrea from Kush (central Sudan) in the 8th century and settled at Merara, after which they went to Lalibela and Lasta. The Bilen then returned to Axum in Ethiopia'sTigray Province,and battled with the natives; in the resulting aftermath, the Bilen returned to their main base at Merara. The Bilen include adherents of bothIslamandChristianity.They speak theBilenas a mother tongue. Christian adherents are mainly urban and have intermingled with the Tigrinya who live in the area. Muslim adherents are mainly rural and have interbred with the adjacent Tigre.

The Beja in Eritrea, orHedareb,constitute under 5% of local residents.[75]They mainly live along the north-western border with Sudan. Group members are predominantly Muslim and communicate inHedarebas a first or second language. The Beja also include theBeni-Amer people,who have retained their nativeBeja languagealongside Hedareb.

According to the CIA, the Kunama constitute around 2% of Eritrea's population.[75]They mainly live in the country'sGash Barka Region,as well as in adjacent parts of Ethiopia'sTigray Region.Many of them reside in the contested border village ofBadme.Their language is calledKunama.Although some Kunama still practice traditional beliefs, most are converts to either Christianity (Roman Catholic and Protestant) or Islam.

The Nara represent under 5% of the nation's population.[75]They principally reside along the south-western border with Sudan and Ethiopia. They are generally Muslim, with a few Christians and some practising their indigenous beliefs. Their language is calledNara.
