The State of Eritrea is a country in North east Africa, bordered by Sudan in the west, Ethiopia in the south, and Djibouti in the southeast.
Eritrea would have its own parliament and administration, and would be represented in the Ethiopian parliament which would function as the Federal Parliament.
Eritrea is located in the Horn of Africa and is bordered on the northeast and east by the Red Sea.
The region was almost decimated by the thirty years war of independence (from Ethiopia) and the experience of severe drought and famine have marked the lives of most adults in the region.
The Ansebaregion was considered by the Ethiopian government to have been the centre of the Eritrean independence struggle.
Therefore, the region suffered systematic acts of destruction of its infrastructure and experienced the brunt of the war ravages associated with the thirty-year liberation struggle.
