The State of Eritrea, abbreviated as Eritrea, is located in northeastern Africa, adjacent to the Republic of Sudan to the west, Ethiopia and Djibouti to the south, and facing Saudi Arabia and Yemen across the Red Sea to the east. It serves as the gateway for the Red Sea to enter and exit the Indian Ocean, and its geographical location is extremely important. The national coastline is 1200 kilometers long, and the land area is 124000 square kilometers. The capital, Asmara, has six provinces, a population of 6.7 million (as of August 2021), and nine ethnic groups，sports fitness .
In the 8th century BC, Semitic people and Kuhites migrated here. In 1869, Italian colonizers came here to colonize. In 1890, Italy merged the occupied territories into a unified colony and named it "Eritrea". In 1952, Eritrea formed a local government and officially formed a federation with Ethiopia. In 1962, Ethiopian Emperor Selassie abolished the Federation and established Eritrea as the 14th province of Ethiopia, which triggered the armed independence struggle of the Eritrean people for 30 years. On April 23-25, 1993, Eritrea held a referendum under the supervision of the United Nations and decided to separate from Ethiopia with an absolute majority of 99.8%. The state of Eritrea was officially established, with Isaias as its first president.
Eritrea is one of the least developed countries in the world, mainly focused on agriculture. Eritrea is a member of the United Nations, the Organization of African Unity, the Common Market for Southeast Africa, the Commonwealth of Sahelo-Saharan States, and an observer for the Arab League. In 2021, Eritrea's gross domestic product (GDP) was 2.27 billion US dollars, with a GDP growth rate of 2.2%.
