MEN IN ERITREA HAVE BEEN ASKED BY THE PRESIDENT TO...............
Men in Eritrea have been asked by the President
Isaias Afwerki-led government to marry more
than one wife or risk being jailed for life.
This is contained in a statement in Arabic by the
Grand Mufti (the highest official of religious law
in the country) which scanned copy surfaced on
social media sites on Thursday last week.
In the statement, Eritrea called for all men in the
country to marry at least two wives and the
government assured the men that it would pay for
the marriage ceremonies and houses.
According to the government, the order is
because there is an acute shortage of men
occasioned by causalities during the civil war
with Ethiopia.
Afkinsider.com said the document, which could
not be independently verified, warned that any
man or woman who opposes the decision “will
face a life sentence”.
The document in Arabic, which is in Arabic, says,
“Based on the law of God in polygamy, and
given the circumstances which the country is
experiencing in terms of men shortage, the
Eritrean department of Religious Affairs has
decided on the following:
“First that every man shall marry at least two
women and the man who refuses to do so shall
be subjected to life imprisonment with hard
labour.
“The woman who tries to prevent her husband
from marrying another wife shall be punished to
life imprisonment.”
More than 150,000 Eritrean soldiers were killed
during the secession war from Ethiopia between
1998 and 2000. At the time Eritrea had about
four million people.
Eritrea, is a country in theHorn of Africa. With its
capital at Asmara, it is bordered by Sudan in the
west, Ethiopia in the south, and Djibouti in the
southeast. The northeastern and eastern parts of
Eritrea have an extensive coastline along the Red
Sea, across from Saudi Arabia and Yemen.
The nation has a total area of approximately
117,600 km, and includes the Dahlak Archipelago
and several of the Hanish Islands. Its name
Eritrea is based on the Greek name for the Red
Sea, which was first adopted for Italian Eritrea in
1890.

Eritrea: A Decayed Revolution
ERITREA is a relatively unknown African
country. Little news filters out. In October
2012, I wanted to pay with a hundred
dollar bill in a Washington supermarket,
and the cashier declined. He asked me to
pay with a smaller denomination, which I
did not have. Noticing his features, I
