  歷史
  
  厄立特裏亞原為埃塞俄比亞所建立的屯墾區,1890年為意大利所占領,並成為意大利的殖民地,第二次世界大戰後在聯合國的同意之下,與埃塞俄比亞共同組成聯邦。1962年遭埃塞俄比亞兼併,成為該國第14省。
  
  “厄立特裏亞解放陣綫”在1960年代成立,以武力爭取厄立特裏亞脫離埃塞俄比亞。“厄立特裏亞人民解放陣綫”在1970年代自“厄立特裏亞解放陣綫”分裂出來,逐漸取代後者成為埃塞俄比亞境內的主要厄立特裏亞叛軍。埃塞俄比亞共産政權在1991年被叛軍推翻後,新政府同意在厄立特裏亞舉行公民投票,以决定該地區是否脫離埃塞俄比亞。1993年4月終於在聯合國的斡旋與監督之下舉行了公民投票,結果以99.8%贊成通過脫離埃塞俄比亞,並於同年5月24日宣佈獨立。

  Eritrea (pronounced /ˌɛrɪˈtreɪə/,/ˌɛrɪˈtriːə/) (Ge'ez: ኤርትራ ʾErtrā, Arabic: إرتريا Iritriya), officially the State of Eritrea, is a country in the Horn of Africa. It is bordered by Sudan in the west, Ethiopia in the south, and Djibouti in the southeast. The east and northeast of the country have an extensive coastline on the Red Sea, directly across from Saudi Arabia and Yemen. The Dahlak Archipelago and several of the Hanish Islands are part of Eritrea. Its size is just under 118,000 km2 (45,560 sq mi) with an estimated population of 5 million. The capital is Asmara.
  
  The history of the land that is now called Eritrea, in one way or another, is associated with its coastline on the Red Sea, which extends more than 1000 km. From across the seas came various invaders (and colonizers) such as the South Arabians hailing from the present-day Yemen area, the Ottoman Turks, the Portugese from Goa (India), the Egyptians, the British and, in the 19th century, the Italians. Over the centuries, invaders also came from the neighboring countries of Africa to the south (Ethiopia) and to the west (Sudan). However, present-day Eritrea was largely impacted by the Italian invaders in the 19th century. In the period following the opening of the Suez canal in 1869, when European powers scrambled for territory in Africa and tried to establish refuling bases for their ships, Italy invaded and occupied Eritrea. On January 1, 1890 Eritrea offically became a colony of Italy. In 1936 it became a province of Italian East Africa (Africa Orientale Italiana), along with Ethiopia and Italian Somaliland. The British armed forces expelled those of Italy in 1941 and took over the administration of the country which had been set up by the Italians. The British continued to administer the territory under a UN Mandate until 1951 when Eritrea was federated with Ethiopia as per UN resolution 390(A) under the prompting of the United States adopted in December 1950; the resolution was adopted after a referendum to consult the people of Eritrea.
  
  The strategic importance of Eritrea — because of its Red Sea coastline and mineral resources — was the main cause for the federation with Ethiopia, which was the first step in the annexing of Eritrea as its 14th province in 1962, even though many nations favored independence. This was the culmination of a gradual process of takeover by the Ethiopian authorities, a process which included a 1959 edict establishing the compulsory teaching of Amharic, the main language of Ethiopia, in all Eritrean schools. The lack of regard for the Eritrean population led to the formation of an independence movement in the early 1960s, which erupted into a 30-year war against successive Ethiopian governments that ended in 1991. Following a UN-supervised referendum in Eritrea (dubbed UNOVER) in which the Eritrean people overwhelmingly voted for independence, Eritrea declared its independence and gained international recognition in 1993.
  
  English is used in the government's international communication and is the language of instruction in all formal education beyond the fifth grade.
  
  Eritrea is a single-party state. Though its constitution, adopted in 1997, stipulates that the state is a presidential republic with a unicameral parliamentary democracy, it has yet to be implemented. According to the government, this is due to the prevailing border conflict with Ethiopia, which began in May 1998.
