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.
How much are the “Brigade Nhamedu” aware about the Eritrean diversity and its future plan in post -dictatorship Eritrea?
How can the oppression of ethnic minorities in post-dictatorship transitions be best addressed through constitution building and state structure? Where constitution building takes place in the aftermath of conflict or after the fall of dictatorship the relationship between different ethnic minorities and dominant ethnic groups within the state are often difficult and headache for the dominant ethnic like that of our tiny Eritrea.

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.
Two foreign nationals from Eritrea aged 33 and 35, who live in south Tel Aviv, were arrested tonight with ammunition and assault weapons. From a preliminary investigation it is suspected that those involved, supporters of the regime, tried to attack their opponents. It also turned out that they had organized ahead of time for the attack, which was supposed to be carried out on a political basis following the differences of opinion regarding the regime in Eritrea.

Rijswijk bans Eritrean liberation party after disturbances: ‘Very serious risk’
Mayor Huri Sahin of Rijswijk, a suburb of the Hague, will not allow the Eritrean community to hold a liberation celebration in her municipality on May 25. The operator of the Event Plaza conference center had registered the event, but the mayor put a stop to it for safety reasons and the riots in February in The Hague.
