1. Introduction

What is the relationship between the national unity and the liberation of Eritrea? How was the national unity during the process of nationalism and nationhood in Eritrea from the pre-colonial period and later under colonial period and after colonial period during the British administration and the Ethiopian occupation and during the political and armed struggle period? How can national unity of a multi-ethnic and multi religious Eritrea achieved? What forms of unity, consociational or federal?

Based on the Eritrean historical findings, Eritrea’s national process was full of conflicts, conspiracies, sabotages and internecine wars. The outcome of the Eritrean political parties after the British administration could not achieve national unity and the Eritrean case was taken by external forces in collaboration of Eritrean nationals under the leadership of the Unionist party of that time and the result was reunion of Eritrea with Ethiopia.

NGOs, military and intelligence officers, gov’t officials involved in cross-border smuggling

A human trafficking network stretching from 

Asmara to Addis Ababa via Tigray and involving government officials, NGOs, and intelligence and military officers has escalated to new heights as tens of thousands of youth desperately grasp at the prospect of a better life abroad in the wake of war and economic stagnation.

Dozens of interviews conducted by The Reporter reveal that a large number of youth crossing the Eritrean border into Tigray, as well as those fleeing the war-torn region, have created fertile ground for an opportunistic and widespread human trafficking trade.

“From Atsbi Woreda alone, 1,200 youth left in a single month. This is not the largest figure. There are other woredas with higher numbers. There are a dozen or more youth who have lost their lives on trafficking routes from every town and village across Tigray,” the Director of a civil society organization (CSO) anonymously told The Reporter.
