⏭︎ Before the US decided to illegally incorporate the nation of Eritrea to its African neo-colony Ethiopia in 1952, Eritrea had the second-largest economy and was the most developed nation in Africa next to South Africa.



⏭︎ During the 10 years of British military administration of Eritrea from 1941 to 1950, all the heavy equipment at Eritrean ports were dismantled and moved to Britain or its other colonies elsewhere, in a brazen robbery scheme of staggering proportions!



⏭︎ Self-driving Cable Cars also called Aerial Tramway, or Ropeway, suspended in the air from a cable stretched 115 Kilometers from Asmara to Massawa was the longest in the world. Merchants and traders sent their products from Asmara to Massawa, and vice versa, using the Teleferica.



⏭︎ Eritrea was the first country in the world to use battery-operated trucks that were widely used for collecting garbage in Asmara. The US that forced Eritrea to become part of its neo-colony Ethiopia in order to build the Kagnew station in Asmara, the biggest US intelligence network in the world, moved most of the Eritrean battery-operated trucks to California, but a few remained in the country until the Derg regime came to power in Ethiopia in 1974.

Derg officials didn't like the battery-operated trucks. "If they are real trucks they should take fuel and make noise," they reasoned. Something that moved without making noise aroused their suspicion, so, sadly, they blew up the trucks, one by one, until they were all gone.



⏭︎ A young Eritrean man walking home carrying his guitar after a church service was stopped by Derg soldiers from Tigray who asked, "what is that you're carrying?", to which he replied "የሙዚቃ መሳሪያ ነው።", and in a flash the agame soldiers aimed their guns at the young man and ordered him to come with them to the Derg station and brought him in front of their commander claiming that they had caught him carrying "መሳሪያ." After laughing his a$$ off, the Amharic-speaking commander asked the young man to play a couple of tunes on the guitar to alleviate the morbid fear that the guitar had caused to his agame soldiers. See what we had to deal with!

YES, YES. everything you said is right except none of these belonged to you . you did not make it. All of of it belonged to Italy and a defeated Italy had to pass it on to the victor! The colonized Eritreans had no say or ownership in all of these! A subject people has none of these. But freedom is 1000 times better than the trappings of slavery.

When it comes to visiting the past, the truth can sometimes be painful, but honesty is the best policy.

For example, when British colonial forces in East Africa fought in the Italian colonies of Eritrea, Somalia and Ethiopia in 1941 and succeeded in dislodging the Italian forces from the colonies, we saw the arrival of the British colonial forces in Eritrea as a continuation of Africa's colonization, while people in the other Italian colonies saw it as "freedom", and they even named the main street in their capital city "Churchill Avenue", after the then British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, whom they give credit for freeing the colonized people in places like Piazza, Mercato, Kazanchis, Populare...etc, to take ownership of these Italian-named famous neighborhoods in the capital.

As the saying goes: "Freedom is never given. It is earned." What have you earned?

In simple terms, inflation happens when prices go up and therefore the purchasing power of money goes down. For example, if you could buy 5 Injera for $5 today, in Five years' time, due to inflation, $5 might only buy you 1 Injera, which is a sign of currency devaluation.



The Eritrean Nakfa currency has maintained its $1 USD = 15 Nakfa exchange rate consistently for the last 10 or so years, even when the country was hit hard by illegal sanctions.

The Ethiopian Birr on the other hand has lost its value against the US dollar due to several factors, chief among them the country's ballooning $56 Billion external debt which caused the inflation, which in turn caused Birr's devaluation.
