Understanding the Eritrean Media Context:

It is crucial to understand that Eritrea has one of the most restricted media environments globally. Independent journalism within the country is virtually non-existent, and the government maintains strict control over information dissemination. This has been the case since a crackdown in 2001, which led to the closure of private media outlets and the arrest of many journalists.

Therefore, All Eritrean News Online serves as a directory to the limited available resources. Users should be aware of the potential biases and perspectives of each source. By providing access to both state-controlled and exile media, we aim to offer a broader, though still constrained, view of news and information related to Eritrea.

Please note: The availability and accessibility of these online resources can change. Some websites may be blocked within Eritrea, and exile media often face challenges in obtaining reliable information from inside the country due to the restrictive environment.

By using All Eritrean News Online, you can begin to navigate the complex landscape of Eritrean news and information.
