Eritrea's Fight for Independence
Revolution, Reactions, and Reforms
​​​​​​​National History Day 2026

“[The years of] deafening silence pained our people. It also gave a free hand to the aggressors, thereby prolonging our suffering and increasing the sacrifices we had to make. But it neither shook our resolve nor undermined our belief in the justness of our cause and the inevitability of our victory.”​​​​​​​

-  President of Eritrea: Isaias Afwerki, UN General Assembly, 1993
