Eritrea (Ge'ez: ኤርትራ ʾĒrtrā), officially: Hagere Ertra; ሃገረ ኤርትራ; State of Eritrea is an East African country on the coast of the Red Sea that also includes the Dahlak Archipelago and several of the Hanish Islands. The country's capital is Asmara and it oficially gained independence from Ethiopia on May 24th 1991; though transfer of power did not occur until May 24th 1993. Eritrea is an heterogeneous society with the Tigrinya and the Tigre people together make up about 80%. The remainder of the population comprises the smaller populations of the Saho, Nara, Hedareb, Beja, Afar, Bilen, Kunama, and the Rashaida. Each nationality speaks a different native tongue and though there is no official languages, the three working languages are Tigrinya, Arabic and English. The two domainan religions are Sunni Islam and Orthodox Christianity. The native cuisines of Eritrea are very similar to those of neighbouring Djibouti and Ethiopia, though having been colonies of Turkey, Italy and Britain Eritrean cuisine has also assumed aspects of these cultures. Staple foods include cassava, yam, rice, plantain, Potato, maize, beans and millet. Unusually for a coastal nation Eritreans prefer beef and pork and fish consumption is relatively low. The foundation of Eritrean cuisine is injeera and most other foods are cooked in thick sauces before being wrapped in the flatbread to be consumed. Eritreans use a wide variety of spices and it's this more than almost anything else that distinguishes their cuisine. |
