   Eritrea is an East African country of ~ 6M. A 30 year war saw Eritrea win its independence from Ethiopia by 1991. Unfortunately, the then successful rebel commander has ruled since 1991 as the country's unofficial president for life. Under President Isaias Afewerki, the country has no freedoms, no private sector, and unending military conscription has seen 100s of 1000s of young Eritreans flee the country since 2002. It is consistently ranked bottom next to North Korea in world freedom indexes.
