Eritrea
Following the collapse of Ethiopia’s Marxist government — and many years of intense fighting — Eritrea emerged as an independent country in the spring of 1993. It had been a part of Ethiopia for thirty years. Independence was declared on May 24.
Nine major people groups include Christians, Muslims and tribal peoples. The Tigrinya people are predominantly Christian, and number almost two million. Muslims are predominant among the Tigre, Afar, Beja, and Saho peoples, while large numbers of Kunama are Muslim as well.
The World Mission Prayer League cooperates in the life and ministry of the Evangelical Church of Eritrea.
