Eritrea: The African North Korea (Documentary)
June 10, 2016
Okay, before you get into this must-see viewing… cut the sound. Now click play and ignore the banners and such. Eritrea (pronounced AIR-IT-TREY-UH). Beautiful climate, people, surroundings… After a minute or so, you can stop. How did such a beautiful place come to be known as ‘The African North Korea’?
Well, how do these concepts make you feel (especially in historical context)? Dictatorship. Single political party. A ministry of information. One TV station (government run). Mandatory military service.
Anybody feel like fleeing yet? How about we learn more first. Press play, with the sound on, and fully take in this daring bit of reporting by FRANCE 24.
More after the jump.
