In the lead up to May 24 Independence Day anniversary, several activities are taking place in Eritrea and across the world to mark its 28th anniversary celebration. A significant guest being US comedienne Tiffany Haddish who arrived in Asmara late last week to join the celebrations. All the borders have since been unilaterally shut by Eritrea according to reports. Eritrea in 1993 voted for independence from Ethiopia in a UN-backed referendum and subsequently gained international recognition. ?#EritreaShinesAt28#EritreaAt28 #Eritrea pic.twitter.com/LSQJ8StCLq — Saba Gebregiorgis (@Gauleritra) May 22, 2019Photo credit: Ghideon Aron Musa (Twitter)
