We've talked about some incredibly poor countries on this channel before, but perhaps nothing as bad as the small East African country of Eritrea. This country is a complete military dictatorship, and has been called the North Korea of Africa. There are no free markets. No trading partners. Their debt to GDP ratio runs very high for one reason only: their country is in a critical region of the world for international shipping. But life really couldn't be much worse in Eritrea.

@dylanevans5644 3 месяца назад

I visited Eritrea about 10 years ago when my mother was working for VSO over there. It doesn't have many of the hallmarks of what one might consider a 'poor' country - like gangs or high crime. Nor were there people starving on the streets. They seem to mostly manage to sustain themselves off of the land. My understanding of the govt is that they are incredibly paranoid of outside influence - and with fairly good reason. Their history is one of abandoned Western promises and war. I can very highly reccomend the book "I didn't do it for you" - which is a story of their history told by an investigative journalist. A truly fascinating book. The people of the country were incredibly kind and generous and its a memory that will always stay with me.

@@dimamatat5548 Do you have any idea what you are talking about? Or just repeating something you have read? I have been there. The police don't "watch everyone" they couldn't if they tried, the state is far too disorganised and does not have the money to maintain any kind of police-authority. Eritrea IS and oppressive state. Their forced conscription is akin to enslaving their own people and the result of that is their young men and women have left in astonishing numbers. You can likely find some reasoning for the low crime in those facts, as opposed to the "police state" idea that western politicians like to throw around with little respect to the reality of the country.

I have noticed that many people in underdeveloped and developing countries seem want their countries to become developed overnight, hence they support any draconian measure that seems to advance the country forward even though it does long term harm than good and keep whining that their country sucks and has no future. People need to understand that unless their country has large reserves of oil/gas or other high value natural resources with high global demand or becomes a tax haven, the journey to economic prosperity is a slow and steady process and mistakes in policy making is usual since mistakes are a part and parcel of life. Certain reforms and policies also take time implement and it's effects will not be seen immediately. I hope more people understand this and work with preserverance to develop their countries. No country is perfect. The people must strive to make it as perfect as possible.

Taxing a countries diaspora doesn't seem to have much benefit on the diaspora itself. Essentially taxes are an arrangement for citizens to fund government services. Eritrean diaspora wouldn't seem to gain anything by being taxed for life due to where they happened to be born. To me this just seems to be an extension of the Eritrean's government's approach that their citizens owe them, rather than them being beholden to their citizens. In my opinion, citizens leaving a country SHOULD be an outcome of a totalitarian dictatorships. At least they get to vote with their feet.

Unpopular opinion probably but I would remove the GDP from the ranking and replace it with something else, as it is a derivative of gdp per capita and therefore is kinda just giving points to countries with larger populations

@mikechadid2568 3 месяца назад

Its not. The fact that its gpd per capita (or just money divided by people) means it takes into account both. Look at Luxembourg or Monaco, they got a GDP per capita higher than China or the US, both having wayyy bigger populations than that of monaco or Luxembourg. I agree tho maybe he could consider taking it out as GDP isnt the best measure

@TheCheeseman1983 3 месяца назад

What’s wrong with giving points to countries with large populations? The more people you have, the more you can produce. The number of people living in a country is very important when considering the strength of that country’s economy.

@plasmacannon1198 3 месяца назад

@@TheCheeseman1983 you’re not wrong - more people paying in means larger coffers. Just in an economic performance ranking it seems like giving points for good dice roll

@@plasmacannon1198 A country’s population isn’t really a dice roll, though. This video mentioned the issues that mass emigration can cause for a country, and the size of a country’s landmass, how fertile and resource rich that land is, and many other factors that tend to correlate with population size are all important to that country’s economy. The population of a country isn’t random, it’s the result of countless complex interactions and events over generations.

Eritrea helped commit genocide in Tigray during the Tigray War by mercilessly destroying countless hospitals (in cities safely under their control), schools, indiscriminate bombings and artillery shelling in civilian areas, committing wide-spread ethnic-based SA & r*pes on both genders, large-scale massacres (one of the largest being a thousand church goers in one of Ethiopia's holiest and oldest cities, Aksum), extrajudicial killings, burning and salting farmlands and entire villages, and aiding local militias to commit ethnic cleansing (which is ongoing today), among other crimes. All of this anyone can look up. Eritrea's dictatorship is truly on the levels of North Korea & their leader is truly sick. They literally lock up teens and young students belonging to families of "political opponents" inside metal cages in the desert (no one knows what happened to them now) while being responsible for war/conflict on all of their neighbors. There's so much wrong with a dictatorship when 10% of the population has already fled.

@aiwanano6507 3 месяца назад

@@ima8533 Sure, but it doesn’t justify what Eritrea did. It also doesn’t help that TPLF did much more for a better Ethiopia than Isaias for Eritrea (with the cost of authoritarianism that Abiy is essentially continuing but on a much more devastating scale). Ethiopia was skyrocketing in modernization since 1991 until recently & everybody saw. Eritrea also did more damage in Tigray than TPLF inside Eritrea. I say this just to highlight & compare how terrible the Eritrean dictatorship is by comparing it with a similar group that actually brought its people up (Ethiopia now accepts more refugees than any other east-African nation or bordering nation besides Egypt & South Africa), unlike Eritrea’s rulers.

An Ethiopian Stanford student told us this joke once. An Eritrean man and an Ethiopian man were arguing. The Ethiopian said, "My country is better than yours. We don't have people pissing on the street. " "Oh, yeah? Prove it!" answered the Eritrean. So the Ethiopian took him for a drive. Street after street was perfectly clean, with well-mannered people. The Eritrean became angry - but then, he spotted a man pissing in the street. "Look, see? I thought you said nobody did that here!" he said triumphantly. They jumped out of the car and ran over to the man pissing in the street. He turned out to be Eritrean.

Blaming Eritrea's inclusion in Ethiopia on western powers is factually incorrect and completely ignores the role played by Haile Selassie after and Ethiopia itself immediately after WW2, Ethiopia being in fact technically an empire at the time and even now being a federation of many tribes that view themselves as distinct and often very much don't get along.

Premise is largely correct, Eritrea’s economy is garbage, however the video is poorly made. Stock videos are inaccurate (they depicted people from other countries), at 1:49 you can see an obvious misspelling- Eretria,6:20 he mentions national service is extended over 18 month for certain occupations - this is not true, it’s extended for nearly all. Seems like a video researched over a couple hours, providing information you could gather from the wikipedia section on the Eritrean economy, with some stock videos of Africa plastered over it. Expected better as apparently this guy has a “team” of researchers creating every video. He could have started with a brief explanation how the socialist ideology of EPLF formed under the backdrop of national liberation & the cold war, how its future leader was sent to china to learn about maoist philosophy, the 90s & the failed implementation of the constitution, the 2000s war and aftermath of strict control of all aspects of the socio economic landscape of Eritrea, the refusal of foreign aid & sanctions etc

@Ynhockey 3 месяца назад

It's true that Eritrea is a very poor economy, but it's also not a failed state like Somalia and some other countries in the region. For example, it's possibly the safest country in Africa, with theft rates that favorably compare to the West, plus generally low crime. This can be attributed both to the overwhelming central control, but also Eritreans' culture. I met some people from there in Israel, and have seen a bunch of videos about the country, and it seems like far from the worst in the region to live in.
