Overview of Eritrea
Eritrea is strategically located in the northeastern corner of Africa, on the western shore of the southern coast of the Red Sea and at the entrance to the Gulf of Aden. The capital, Asmara, is famous for its Italian colonial architecture, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and became independent from Ethiopia in 1993, making it one of the youngest countries in Africa. The official languages are Tigrinya and Arabic, and many religions coexist. The economy is based on agriculture and is rich in mineral resources, but is lagging behind due to drought and geopolitical influences. Its unique geography and multiculturalism have given it natural landscapes such as the coral reefs of the Red Sea, and the potential for tourism has yet to be developed.
