Much Love to the Eritrean people from Ethiopia.<br><br>Let's come together, reject those who promote division and war on both sides and work together to build a peaceful, strong and prosperous future for our people

I’ve worked in Eritrea in 2013-2014. Been to Asmara and Keren several times, also spent some time at a port city Massawa on the Red Sea coast. Enjoyed my time there. Eritreans are sweet, friendly, and humble people. Although other aspects hadn’t changed since, it’s good to know they’re thriving without much help from the rest of the world.

As Djiboutian, i may witness that the great people of Eritrea is verry generous, patriots and harworking.I swear in God, the streets in Asmara are very clean, spaced and well organised traffic. Much love from your neigbour Djiboutian,

It's mostly Italian architecture of first half of 20th century, in very good condition. It's like traveling back in time.

I’m from Germany🇩🇪and I visited Asmara two years ago. The people were incredibly kind, friendly, and welcoming. I was also impressed by how clean the city was cleaner than some cities here in Germany, such as Duisburg and even parts of Frankfurt. And I didn’t see any homeless people there like I do here. My experience completely challenged many of the stereotypes I’d heard before visiting.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBEXOBhlhFo&t=1725">28:45</a> "I don't think we've been charged tourist prices" when the bottle of water cost 1.3 USD in a country where the per capita GDP is 567 USD. You just drank away all your wages on water if you're a local.

In Eritrea there is no pickpocket or thief. That guy was mentally disabled.

Been twice in Eritrea. Loved it there. Eritrean people are admirably inclusive with people who have mental difficulties. They are part of the community and everyone looks after them. In a family I have two members with mental difficulties. It's very worring when people make drama over their harmless behaviour and do not understand spectrum mental diversity. People take care of each other in Eritrea so much and for guests even more and if you haven't understood that, you don't really understand the culture. They won't lock up harmless person, cause of your discriminative fear. Europe and US have big autism percentage, hope you don't run away from them when all community and their family guarantee that they are harmless.
