The Kingdom of Aksum, covering much of modern-day Eritrea and northern Ethiopia, rose somewhere around the first or second centuries. and adopted Christianity shortly after its formation. In medieval times much of Eritrea fell under the Medri Bahri Kingdom, with part being part of the Hamasien Republic. The creation of modern day Eritrea is a result of the incorporation of independent Kingdoms and various vassal states of the Ethiopian empire and the Ottoman Empire, eventually resulting in the formation of Italian Eritrea. In 1947 Eritrea became part of a federation with Ethiopia, the Federation of Ethiopia and Eritrea. Subsequent annexation by Ethiopia led to the Eritrean War of Independence, ending with Eritrean independence in 1991. Eritrea is a member of the African Union, the United Nations and IGAD, and is an observer in the Arab League.

Eritreja je država u sjeveroistočnoj Africi na obali Crvenog mora. Graniči sa Sudanom na sjeverozapadu, Etiopijom na jugu te Džibutijem na jugoistoku. Nakon prestanka sovjetske vojne pomoći Etiopiji eritrejski gerilci uspjeli su početkom devedesetih pobijediti etiopske snage i izvojevati neovisnost. Mlada je država bila dodatno opterećena dvogodišnjim ratom s Etiopijom oko granične crte koji je izbio 1998. Obećana demokratizacija zemlje nije provedena i Eritreja je još uvijek jednostranačka država kojom vlada Narodni front za demokraciju i pravdu (PFDJ), nasljednik oslobodilačkog pokreta EPLF, i njegov vođa Isaias Afewerki. Svi su javni mediji u državnom vlasništvu. Eritreja je među siromašnijim afričkim državama, BDP je u 2004. bio 900 USD po stanovniku, mjereno po PPP-u.
