- I bet you know nothing about Eritrea. I bet you couldn't point it out on a map. However, they've had a crazy history, even more so in the last 30 years. Did you know they've had the same leader since 1991? Did you know it has one of the largest militaries in the world? Did you know they basically operate as some weird form of communism? They are basically the North Korea of Africa. Hoser tells the ignored history, and Mr. Terry has A LOT to say about it.

Nice video, thanks for reacting. Great additions, a bunch of stuff I hadn't thought of/seen anything about before! Off the top of my head I think I remember reading the diaspora tax would be "enforced" through threats of family punishment, but they also severely restrict financial flows into the country. I'd have to look more into it to be certain though.
And at 22:40 I think you misinterpreted the line. It was "China claims to be what Eritrea actually is.. which is a command economy." I could see your confusion to me calling the US and Europe command economies too lol
A video about Eritrea, Terry somehow mentioned Ukraine. Is Terry secretly the owner of Real Life Lore?
He mentioned ussr and n.korea too
I mean, he used it as a current day example of what was going on in Eritrea in the 90s.
@@whodis2614 Yes, I also watched the video. Point still stands.
@@YAH2121 so, you just don't like when people use examples?
You when people reinforce their opinions with examples:😞😞👺👺🤬🤬🤬🤬@@YAH2121
Merry Christmas, Mr. Terry!
Aa for Eritrea, I think a lot of people don't realize or don't care about a lot of the places that have human rights problems or tensions that aren't in major strategic locations like North Korea or Ukraine and it really sucks. Obviously, regarding governments, they will have to make choices about what's most important to focus on but even those of us as regular people avoid things and we don't have those limitations.
Reminds me of something that I know personally: my church when I was growing up had a congregation in Sri Lanka that was under threat constantly because of a radical Buddhist problem they had and I believe do still have. Unfortunately, one things we humans are really good at is finding reasons to treat people as less worthy humans.
Sucks? Yes. But people can’t worry about fixing every single country. Bretton woods. That’s why the US cares only about strategic places and resources.
@@mangonuttrue but not paying attention 2 certain things is how u get another hitler or hussein. In the end those that feel oppressed will make themselves known and it dosent always end in a pretty demonstration
@@trappestarrgaming3422 it may not end pretty but soon it won’t be America’s problem to deal with. France and Great Britain are way closer than the US. Even China is closer. America doesn’t have to always be the hero
@@trappestarrgaming3422We (the West) were the ones who made a Sadam Hussein, an Osama bin Laden or an Ajatollah Chomeini possible in the first place.
Just look up how many coups were financed through the CIA. You'll find in south America alone a half dozen.
We (the West) are destabilizing every country that is unfortunate enough to have something we want or is in a strategic important place.
@@mangonutDo you really think that the US is doing all of this out of the kindness of their hearts?
They're making money by bombing the places and then they're making money by building them new. And don't forget all the resources we get cheaper because the new President/Dictator is very America friendly.
No wonder that everyone hates the west. Our Leaders are just psychopathic begots who don't give a damn about human lifes.
its almost like when one dude gets all the power he always get paranoid, who could have guessed lol
Idi amin, Saddam, Stalin, hitler, roman consoles and emperors, the kim entire family and many many more
Imagine making a list based on every paranoid leader... It would be longer than the roman empire Wikipedia page
@@Ananas-280it would contain the entire roman empire wiki page
I think there's an important distinction to he made here- Britosh colonies supported minorities as a power-check on the larger populations that might cause issues and as this region was separate from Ethiopia before the war and then further by Britain's colonial policy, these efforts only worked to further separate the region from the wider "Ethiopian identity", already divided by British policy. So independently, they hoped to recreate that feeling but without the colonial power granting extra rights to minorities. The result being that they were more violently opposed to surrounding populations (also under British rule for a time) and inadvertently creating an artificial sense of isolationism that became tradition (maybe intentionally or maybe not- there are many cases of the British Elpire designing their decolonisation program in such a way as to increase conflict with neighbouring powers and therefore increase reliance on the old European powers for things such as arms. Ie- the Middle East). I say this as a proud Brit. We created globalism at the expense of many that we gave independence to as well as their opposition. A short-term plan to gain favour that could fuel future trade opportunity. Instead it divided nations and identity to the point that trade became either impossible or a source of fuel for the fires of local war. I'm in yhe camp that says decolonisation should have been an international and methodical effort to boost trade- infrastructure such as ports and airports built prior to handing over legal power, thereby creating more peaceful trade opportunity rather than forcing one nation or another to rely on separate powers for basic resources. I hate that decolonisation was fueled by cold-war and imperialist mentality

In the early 2000s I had a restaurant employee who had grown up in Eritrea during the 1980s and 1990. I knew she was from the Horn of Africa and asked her on my first day whether she was from Somalia or Ethiopia. The mere question that she might be Ethiopian made her enraged due to what she had seen as a child during their war for independence.

Great video as always
The Albania video was very interessting, would be nice to know your reaction
I think it's always interesting to think of any culture (any number at one time, influencing) in a geographic terms of historical sociology amounting to modern demographics. The country is sounding a little like if any area of North and South America had different contexts in which the modern age arises or contextualises what is actually going on at this time.
I watched a travel video about Eritrea the other day and there is still bombed out buildings everywhere. Almost no electricity. The Internet is the slowest in the world. The guy could connect to Wi-Fi but it was too slow to load a webpage. They have never recovered from the war. It's really sad
Because west sided with 🇪🇹 failed to implement the peace signed. 🇪🇷 had to defend as a nation. The west sanctioned 🇪🇷 tried to create war. So get the facts. 🙏
The Albanian video about Hoxha that you mentioned at 1:52 is a really well-produced video and worth a react
My man Mr. Terry merry Christmas from Alabama my brother and to anyone else who sees this i love yall :)
Merry Christmas to my favorite history teacher! 🎄🎄🎅🏻🎅🏻

Merry Christmas, Mr. Terry!
I also saw a video called "Europe's North Korea" which talked about Albania under the rule of Enver Hoxha.
Hey Mr. Terry! Been watching your channel essentially since you started. Enjoy your reactions and the context you provide!
Something I am curious about: Is there any good history media on the various treaties and concordances? War is often the sole focus of history teaching, and I'd love to see things that ended the fighting, or prevented it in the first place. Also things like the Hague and Geneva conventions. Hope you had a recuperative winter break!
Thanks for mentioning my country Eritrea. Real hell wadya😢
I'd have to recommend Jabzy's video about Eritrea.
You should watch more Hoser videos
More hoser and Geography Now reactions
Eritrea is actually the only Non-Communist One Party State in the world. Given that for most of the 20th century 'One Party State = Communist State' it's quite interesting to have only one legal party that *didn't* start as a communist party.
Watch the Albanian video, it talks about the history 1946-1990. It's interesting
*Fun fact: in the 2012 movie **_The Dictator,_** the country ruled by the title character is shown on the map with the boundaries of real-life Eritrea.*
Now I want to see North Koreas Africa
Not needed, just look at the pictures from "space"
Outside pyongyang
Hi! Merry Christmas! ☺
Great Channel for reaching
There is an interesting real life lore video about this.
He said china claims to be a command economy not that it is
It is a command economy. Have you been reading the news coming out of China?
Equatorial Guinea had some really weird and messed up things go down there back in the day; I don't know if EG has improved at all since then. But what I read reminded me of an African North Korea.
Simultaneously yes and no
I didn't even know this place existed.
merry christmas
Fiat is also an agricultural machinery maker.
The scramble for Africa was definitely wrong, but I do think people use that to excuse countries that should have been able to turn things around by now. Their are countries in Africa that have put things together and other countries throughout the world that have been colonized they have turned things around. The scramble for Africa does not get to be used as an excuse for all countries that are failing.
This same CZcamsr did a video comparing two countries that were under British control. One of them was a decent country before colonialism and intentionally choose the British as they were the least oppressive of the European countries in the region. The other was a slaver nation for centuries before it was made into a cash colony by the Brits
Most countries turn it around. I don't even see how it's an excuse. Well, maybe I do.
It's not as if western powers haven't continued to interfere with African countries since relinquishing control. I'm not sure how long recovery from genocides, forced immigrations, and several generations of efforts to erase any knowledge of pre-existing culture take. It's always reassuring to know that the ability to determine the inadequacies of people dealing with problems we've never had any experience with, and know little to nothing about what's going on is thriving.
This has nothing to do with Europeans anymore, they just genuinely hate each other. And "people" in the west just cannot comprehend or understand that mentality they have. Virtue signaling gets you killed in Africa
@@mosinc7388 almost all countries in the world, have either been conquered or colonized at some point throughout history. I’m not saying that colonialism can’t be used as a reason why a country might be performing subpar what I am saying is that it can’t be the only excuse that’s ever given, because colonialism and being conquered qualifies for most countries in the world.
The election question - I’m not sure how it exactly works in other countries, but emigrants from Poland (which system I know best) can vote at our consulates and embassies abroad, even tourists out of the country during elections can vote this way. While it may be hard to organise, considering how many Ukrainians are now outside Ukraine, I think local governments would be happy to provide temporary voting locations, just so Ukrainian democracy can continue.
I think the real issue lies with Ukrainians who now live under Russian occupation, because it’s virtually impossible to guarantee their safety, as well as safeguard their votes from tampering by outside forces.
Isnt the history of eritrea after ww2 similar to namibia, getting annexed by neighboring country
You should check Albanian North Korea
I promise you if go to Eritrea 🇪🇷 you will love it the most peaceful country in Africa he forgot to mention 0 crimes
I feel like if you left you left you don’t get to vote unless you come back
My friend is from there
I think you should do some videos that cover the history of Sudan and Darfur. During and after college, I was very supportive of the fight to end the Darfur genocide. Unfortunately, it never got anywhere. Now, there’s been a change in leadership in Sudan. I personally think that Darfur should be its own country. It was its own nation/cultural region before the British, and other colonial powers carved up Africa. When we think of Darfur, we are thinking of the eastern half in Sudan. The western half was actually held by the French in Chad.
My father is on military from 1987-2023 now he is 65 years old. still in military

Speaking from the US - the main way to make citizens living abroad pay taxes is leveraging their in-country assets and their passport. Your property (even if it's not in the US) can be confiscated for failing to pay taxes, and the IRS can request someone's passport be revoked if their unpaid taxes are a significant problem.
I don't know how that plays out in this case, though. The first part of the video made it sound like they were fleeing the country and their families being punished for it, which SOUNDS like declaring themselves political refugees in some other country. But if Eritrea has any sway over them it must be through some kind of leverage. I'd be curious to know what it is too.
As an Eritrean, the thing is yes they do tax you. It's called 2 percent. Most of those in US don't pay. But as a diaspora in Africa, I need the passport. That's why I m forced to pay. At the same time if I don't pay I have no right in the country. Can't visit my family. I can't get married in Eritrea, I can't receive any of my parents inheritance and in the off chance sth happens the government takes my parents home. basically I can never go back. This risk is easy if you are in US. NOT IF you are in Africa in any of the neighbouring countries.
@@m.s.e.4192Thank you for responding. The fact that you were even issued a passport tells me this is a lot more nuanced than the video made it sound.
It's just not the same without Sam O'
27 seconds, nice
The food's good.
I think they place the diaspora tax on any remaining family members of people that left the country
Mr T. As an educated person, you would check another source. If you had a chance to visit Eritrea, I guarantee you, you would create an opposite video! Go there don't be shy 😊
When Eritrea is a UN recognized nation while Somaliland isn't lol 😭
Merry Christmas Guys
What's your point to this video. I don't believe you have any idea about Eritrea
Please don't eat during filming
HOSER YEHHHHHHHHHH
Eritrea's dictator was educated in Maoist China and that explains a lot.
No because we want it to be military power in Africa but Europe and USA fought against us by all our enemies around us so we have to defend our sovereignty so no choice but to defend motherland ❤if you think we are NK or Cuba we don’t care us long as we not dependent on you for food or electricity
Maybe I'm just bad at math but... How was it possible for the first Muslims to settle in Eritrea in the first century when the religion of Islam just begun somewhere around 600 a.d.?
I know that there was a time of enlightenment in Islamic countries and that they were ahead of us in many fields before the Europeans started their crusades and the Islam became much more conservative. But I didn't knew that they had time machines...
I think he meant Islam's first century. They have their own calender.
@@someone-ov5ko But... He's talking to a Western audience that has no clue (for the most part) that we have a dozen other calenders as well on our pale blue dot and many countries are not counting this the 2024th year (most Americans certainly didn't know).
And since he's a history TEACHER he should know that.
@@Spielername Yes, I agree with you. Maybe he just thought that it's common knowledge?
@@someone-ov5ko this man shouldn't do such mistakes because even most students in his classes didn't know about all the calenders.
And as a teacher he should know it... Or he's just not so good of a teacher most of his viewers think.
@@SpielernameI think he is a good teacher but sometimes you notice that you have made a mistake long after you have made it. And he is a human too. Even if the video is directed towards a western audience, I still think people know that there are different calenders.
The Albania video is better
