Examines Eritrea's deprivation of human rights since independence
and its transformation into a militarised "garrison state". 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
