Celebrations mark 25 years of independence in Eritrea

 

Eritrea Independence 
Eritrea is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its independence from Ethiopia.The milestone is being marked with street parades in the capital, Asmara, complete with marching bands, costumed dancers, and actors dressed as rebel soldiers from the 30-year independence war.

More people apply for asylum in the EU from Eritrea than any other African country, which is widely criticised for human rights abuses.

But thousands of the diaspora have returned to join the party.
