Maybe so, but Ethiopia is also ruled by a repressive régime.

Eritrea one the most repressive regimes in the world. When you look for asylum in Uganda and Kenya...you know things are bad

They get little attention about their brutal dictatorship because they are Black, Muslim, and in Africa.

Real sad about all this is that the capital Asmara used to be one of the more civilized in Africa, and has some of the best old-style Italian architecture around (It was a colony of Italy in 19th-20th C)

Or the Jaguars.

They have been rumored to be moving for the past 10 years. Heck, with the Eritrean team gone....the Jags may just move to Eritrea

Do they run the wishbone, or are they more of a spread offense. Do they have SEC speed?

I believe that they are the only other country in the world, besides the U.S.A. to claim the right to tax income earned by expats working outside the country. I recall reading that one of the Eritrian revolutinary leaders was schooled in a U.S. university, and said that he got the idea from the U.S.A.

Prayer of Ugandan President: “We want Uganda to be known as a nation that fears God, and as a nation whose foundations are firmly rooted in righteousness and justice to fulfill what the Bible says in Psalm 33:12: Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. A people you have chosen as your own,” he said. “I renounce all the evil foundations and covenants that were laid in idolatry and witchcraft. I renounce all the satanic influence on this nation. And I hereby covenant Uganda to You, to walk in Your ways and experience all Your blessings forever.”
