In 1991, Eritrea won a 30-year war for independence from Ethiopia, and in 1993, it was recognized as Africas newest nation after more than a century of conquest and occupation by a succession of external powers that included the Ottomans, Egypt, Italy, Great Britain and Ethiopia. Each had left its mark, while fostering a deep distrust of outsiders and a fierce commitment to Eritreas separate political identity. Eritrea and Ethiopia slipped into a chronic state of no-peace-no-war that kept the entire Horn of Africa off-balance for nearly two decades, the standoff ended in 2018 when a newly installed Ethiopian prime minister reached out to Eritrea and set in motion a rapid-fire series of talks among the states of the African Horn that broke down long-standing barriers and raised hopes for a new era of regional peace and cooperation.
This third edition of Historical Dictionary of Eritrea contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 600 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Eritrea.

Editors Foreword

Back in the 1960s, new states were being created every few months in Africa. Since then, newcomers have been few and far between. The latest is Eritrea. Its birth pangs were exceptionally acute because the controlling power it escaped was not European, but African: Ethiopia. And its independence was only the result of one of the bitterest and bloodiest wars ever on the continent (with a scarcely necessary rematch later). This left it devastated, impoverishedmore even than usualand facing unusually difficult tasks of nation building. For Eritrea itself is a patchwork of ethnic and religious communities, and its elite is small and sharply divided on the best path forward. It would have taken a lot of luck to overcome such an endowment, but the country has not had much luck since it has been run over the past nearly two decades by a strongman rather than the democracy it had sought to create. Whether this will change is anybodys guess, which is a sorry outcome to such a once hopeful quest.
