Near Ethiopia. I was never aware of it either until I had some Eritrean neighbors. The Christian Eritreans I have known are very nice people.
Chicago has 12 new cab drivers.
I do not know why I remembered that.I bet Ethiopia doesn’t appreciate being landlocked. Do they have pay port fees and stuff to Eritrea?
Eritrea has historically been separate from Ethiopia; the UN forced them into union with Ethiopia after WWII.
Well, forced them into continuing a forced union that had been in place since the mid-30s, when Italy defeated Ethiopia. Italy had ruled Eritrea since the late 1800s.
