Les ascaris et le facteur militaire dans le développement urbain de l’Érythrée Uoldelul Chelati Dirar 1 The aim of this article is to discuss the role played by the military component in the process of urbanisation which Eritrea experienced, between 1890 and 1941, under Italian colonialism. Two main points will be discussed. The first one is the role played by military priorities in determining lines of development in the early colonial urban planning in Eritrea. In this section I will analyse how the criteria of military defensibility, rather than economic or functional priorities, had a significant influence on the main patterns of early colonial settlements in Eritrea.

  • World Bank Document
    Public Disclosure Authorized THE GOVERNMENT OF ERITREA MINISTRY OF ENERGY AND MINES Public Disclosure Authorized ASMARA POWER DISTRIBUTION AND RURAL ELECTRIFICATION PROJECT Public Disclosure Authorized Environmental and Social Assessment (ESA) Report Including Environmental and Social Management and Monitoring Plan (ESMMP) Public Disclosure Authorized January 2004 FILE COP Executive Summary Introduction The Ministry of Energy and Mines of the State of Eritrea has requested the World Bank and other donors to finance the Asmara Power Distribution (Voltage Conversion and Rehabilitation) and Rural Electrification Project. IVO Power Engineering Limited of Finland and Electrowatt Engineering Ltd of Switzerland conducted the Feasibility Study in 1998. According to this study it was found that the present power distribution system in Asmara, which is 40-50 years old, is incapable of meeting additional loads, power failures and voltage fluctuations are frequent and losses are unacceptably high. Thus the main motive is to alleviate the acute weakness and shortcomings of the old distribution networks in Greater Asmara. A latest estimate of the electrification level in rural Eritrea is 3% and the poverty level is around 70%. As modem energy and in particular electricity is a requirement to stimulate rural development and eradicate poverty, an intense government and donor support is required to change the way of life of the rural people and meet the Millennium Development Goals. This is the driving force behind the rural electrification component of the project. The Ministry of Energy and Mines has requested the World Bank (WB) and other bilateral development partners to finance the project. It reached an understanding with the WB mission to take the responsibility to conduct an Environmental and Social Assessment of the proposed project, which is a requirement for appraisal.

  • Tourism in Eritrea Will Contribute to the Country’S Revenue and Development of the Economy
    ! ! Time t Tour Eritea ! !1 ! Time to Tour Eritrea by Kidane Tekle 1. Background: I read, in Madote.com, the article written by Stephen Lioy on “Should Eritrea be on your horizon?” The article outlines a major point, which is quoted below. “Despite a wealth of archaeological ruins, stunning Red Sea coastline, and one of the world’s greatest concentrations of largely forgotten art deco architecture, the small country of Eritrea on the Horn of Africa hasn’t received much attention in tourism circles. But that is about to change.” This interesting article inspired me to make an in-depth analysis on the subject matter and write this article albeit there is some information gap in the paper. It is not written based on field study and observation but solely based on secondary information, that is what is found googling. Hence, it is initiated with an intent to present the tourism potential of Eritrea, which has been downplayed due to either the 30 year war of independence or the border war with Ethiopia during the 1997-2001. The United Nations Sanctions and the Ethiopia’s pursuing of a ‘no war and no peace’ stance have their toll in thwarting the industry. The ‘no fly zone’ has, also, its negative impact. The presence of large numbers of land mines, and the continued tensions that flare up between Eritrea and Ethiopia have deterred the development of a tourist industry in Eritrea. Not very many tourists came during the last two decades and the revenue generated from this sector was very minimal as compared to many countries.

  • History, Historical Arguments and the Ethio-Eritrean Conflict
    Stichproben. Wiener Zeitschrift für kritische Afrikastudien Nr. 22/2012, 12. Jg., 103‐120 History, Historical Arguments and the Ethio‐Eritrean conflict: between xenophobic approaches and an ideology of unity Wolbert G.C. Smidt Abstract Historical arguments play a significant role in the Ethio‐Eritrean conflict. Both sides bear on history in order to confirm their opposing political goals, Eritrean independence versus the Ethiopian idea of unity. Discussing existing historical sources on the area, the present article makes shows the relevance of historical authentication for the conflicting sides as well as their consistent misuse of historical facts. It is argued that it is high time for removing historical arguments from the heated debates in the political sphere, and situating them again in the realms of historiography proper. Introduction The aim of this paper is to discuss and evaluate the role of historical arguments and facts in the current conflict, in other words, to discuss what history can do and cannot do, and, secondly, to discuss several historical facts, which are often overlooked. A chronic problem in the region is the fact that history is recorded and rewritten differently by every concerned party. When Ethiopians and Eritreans speak of history, one can get the impression that they do refer to different regions, even though they mean the same. There is a great need of knowing more about history and its role in shaping the Horn of Africa as it is now, which also means: of knowing more of each other. The underlying pattern, until now, is an uneasy mixture of xenophobia (on both sides) and a strong claim to be ʺoneʺ (from the Ethiopian side), which is, however, not combined with a sound knowledge about the history and the experiences of the other.
