Eritrea gained its independence in 1993, after many wars and colonization. This young country fought back and won the 30 year war with Ethiopia. Massawa is a port city along the Red Sea, where a major battle took place between Eritrea and Ethiopia. Massawa is home to the oldest mosque in Africa, and was once home to the last Emperor of Ethiopia, Haile Selassie.
A very interesting memorial from the war is located in Asmara, and is referred to as the "tank graveyard". This graveyard is home to thousands of military machinery and equipment that were captured from the defeated Ethiopian army by the Eritrean army, who is also referred to as EPLF.
Also in this video, I show you more of Asmara, the capital of Eritrea. We go bowling at a very unique bowling alley, and I show you where to go for internet. I get experience some of the local traditional food.
Please enjoy the second video of this three part series.
