When Eritrea gained independence in 1991 hopes were high for its - photo 1
When Eritrea gained independence in 1991, hopes were high for its transformation. In two decades, however, it became one of the most repressive in the world, effectively a militarised garrison state. This comprehensive and detailed analysis examines how the prospects for democracy in the new state turned to ashes, reviewing its development, and in particular the loss of human rights and the state's political organisation. Beginning with judicial development in independent Eritrea, subsequent chapters scrutinise the rule of law and the court system; the hobbled process of democratisation, and the curtailment of civil society; the Eritrean prison system and everyday life of detention and disappearances; and the situation of minorities in the country, first in general terms and then through exploration of a case study of the Kunama ethnic group. While the situation is bleak, it is not without hope, however: the conclusion focuses on opposition to the current regime, and offers scenarios of regime change and how the coming of a second republic may yet reconfigure Eritrea politically.
Kjetil Tronvoll is Professor of Peace and Conflict Studies at Bjoerknes College, founding and senior partner of the International Law and Policy Institute, Oslo, and a former Professor of Human Rights at the University of Oslo; Daniel R. Mekonnen is Senior Legal Advisor, International Law and Policy Institute, Oslo, and former Judge of the Zoba Maekel Provincial Court in Eritrea.
2015 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title.
The book will be well received by a wider readership, particularly among students of African regimes It will certainly stimulate and inform an ongoing debate on the national identity and constitutional future of Eritrea. AFRICAN STUDIES QUARTERLY.
This fantastically dense, thorough, rich, comprehensive tome breaks down Eritrean contemporary statehood and civil society in a way that should be copied as a model for modern political/national security case studies. Highly recommended. CHOICE.

Preface
This book is based upon the authors long-term research and advocacy work for human rights in Eritrea. The direct inspiration for the book is a commissioned study undertaken by Kjetil Tronvoll on behalf of the Oslo Centre for Peace and Human Rights in 2009. The President of the Oslo Centre, Mr Kjell Magne Bondevik, former Prime Minister of Norway, had at that time just stepped down as a UN Special Envoy to the Horn of Africa and wanted to continue his human rights engagement in the region thus commissioning a report on the dire situation in Eritrea. Thanks are thus due to Mr Bondevik and the Oslo Centre for commissioning the initial report. This book, however, is based upon an expanded and updated manuscript.
