New Publication: Eritrea - A Country Under the Sway of a Dictatorship

Connection e.V., Förderverein PRO ASYL, Eritrean Law Society (ELS), Eritrean Movement for Democracy and Human Rights (EMDHR), Europe External Policy Advisors (EEPA), and War Resisters’ International have published a new booklet, Eritrea: A Country Under the Sway of a Dictatorship.

The booklet provides a comprehensive overview of the situation in Eritrea, the situation of Eritrean refugees in Europe and elsewhere, as well as introducing their initiatives and activities. The publication is largely based on the presentations at the conference, Eritrea and the Ongoing Refugee Crisis, which was organised in Brussels on 19 October 2017 by the same organisations.
