Eritrea claims only one television station and three radio stations, all of which are government-controlled as private ownership is prohibited. As of a 1997 estimate, only 345,000 Eritrean households had radios and a scant 1,000 possessed televisions.

Supporters of a united Ethiopia and Eritrea emphasized the intertwining history of those two countries. While it is true that strands of Eritrea and Ethiopia early history intermingle, particularly under the highland kingdom of Axum, it generally manifested itself with Ethiopia rulers exercising authority over and making periodic incursions into Eritrean lands to collect slaves, plunder and rape. In May 2000 history repeated itself ( destruction and ransack of Barentu and Tessenei by Ethiopian “ defense forces”).

During the medieval period, contemporary with and following the disintegration of the Axumite state, several states as well as tribal and clan lands emerged in the area known today as Eritrea. Between the eighth and thirteenth century, northern and western Eritrea had largely come under the domination of the Beja, an Islamic, Cushitic people from northeastern Sudan. They formed five independent kingdoms known as: Naqis, Baqlin, Bazin, Jarin and Qata.[13] The Beja brought Islam to large parts of Eritrea and connected the region to the greater Islamic world dominated by the Ummayad Caliphate, followed by the Abbasid (and Mamluk) and later the Ottoman Empire. The Ummayads had taken the Dahlak archipelago by 702.

On departure, you must prove that any missing foreign currency was exchanged at a branch of the state foreign currency exchange, Himbol. Failure to comply can result in prosecution.
