From resistance to governance: Eritrea's trouble with transition
Nation-building in Africa was hobbled by the inheritance of centralised, authoritarian ‘states’ prior to the consolidation of nations within them. Armed liberation movements overcame this to some degree by constructing common identities out of the struggle to throw off foreign rule. Yet the degree and kind of control inherent in such a militarised project fuelled despotism in the post-war state. Eritrea seemed to break this mould, with its high l…

He Didn't Do It for Them
Redeeming the failed promise of democracy in Eritrea
In 1991, after a long, arduous and highly dynamic struggle that transformed many of the bases of their society, the Eritrean people won their freedom. The attempt began to reconstruct their war-ravaged society. But, following the renewal of conflict with Ethiopia in 1998 and continuation of hostilities, many of those earlier gains have been set back and the movement towards popular democracy reversed. The nature of Eritrea's post-independence sta…

Strategies for change: Women & politics in Eritrea & South Africa
This article examines the position of women in the process of democratisation in Eritrea and South Africa. It examines the difficulties in translating declared government and policy document support for gender issues into implemented strategy. It does so by tracing the position of women in the different movements, the problems which women have confronted in political and economic reconstruction and the political struggles which women have engaged…
Africa's New Bloc
Sub-Saharan Africa is undergoing its most profound changes since the early years of independence. Forces that have long held sway over the region are now either waning or gone. For decades the United States, the Soviet Union, and France propped up dictators who served their interests?men like Ethiopia's Mengistu Haile Mariam, Somalia's Mohamed Siad Barre, Rwanda's Juvenal Habyarimana, and the former Zaire's Mobutu Sese Seko. The scaled-down prese…
Participatory Development
This article takes an experience fromIrian Jaya to clarify the centrality of popular participation to development. It explores the ways in which a focus on class and gender takes participatory development to a new level; and considers how development agents can support transformational development. Integrating the strengths of political economy and gender planning into a participatory methodology yields an approach that puts people first; that do…

Eritrea: Starting from scratch
Shortly after Eritrea's thirty-year war for independence from Ethiopia ended, men in many villages and towns formed secret committees to block women from peacetime distribution of land. The men were rushing to divide the good land for housing and for agriculture before we established our rights, says Askalu Menkarios, who heads the 200,000 member National Union of Eritrean Women.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where …

Against All Odds: A Chronicle of the Eritrean Revolution
Eritrea: A Revolution in Process
On April 23-25 more than a million Eritreans in thirty-six countries joined together to exercise their long-denied right to self-determination. The U.N.-monitored referendum asked Eritreans whether they wished to form a sovereign state. To no one's surprise, they voted to separate from Ethiopia, formalizing the de facto independence they have enjoyed since defeating the Ethiopian Army in Eritrea two years ago. But the sheer size of the lopsided v…
