There were no significant changes in the human rights situation in Eritrea during the year. The government abused a wide range of human rights.
Significant human rights issues included credible reports of: disappearances; torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment; arbitrary arrest or detention; transnational repression against individuals in another country; serious abuses in a conflict; serious restrictions on freedom of expression and media freedom; restrictions of religious freedom; trafficking in persons, including forced labor; prohibiting independent trade unions and systematic restrictions on workers’ freedom of association; and significant presence of any of the worst forms of child labor.

In today’s digitally connected world, the idea of living without internet access seems almost impossible. We rely on the internet for everything — from communication to entertainment, education, and even daily financial transactions. However, one country stands apart from the global web: Eritrea. This East African nation remains largely disconnected, with extremely limited internet access, no mobile data, and virtually no social media or ATM facilities for its citizens. Explore why Eritrea remains the only country with no easy access to the internet, the government’s strict control policies, and what this means for its people’s social and economic development.

Tens of thousands of Tigrayan women report brutal wartime abuse by Ethiopian and Eritrean soldiers, such as gang-rape and the insertion of objects into their uteruses. But justice seems a distant prospect

For two years, Tseneat carried her rape inside her. The agony never faded. It attacked her from the inside out. The remnants of the attack stayed in Tseneat’s womb – not as a memory or metaphor, but a set of physical objects:
Eight rusted screws.
A steel pair of nail clippers.
A note, written in ballpoint pen and wrapped in plastic.
“Sons of Eritrea, we are brave,” the note reads. “We have committed ourselves to this, and we will continue doing it. We will make Tigrayan females infertile.”
The objects, revealed by X-ray and surgically extracted by doctors more than two years later, were forced inside Tseneat as she lay unconscious after being gang-raped by six soldiers.
