Eritrea's Struggle to Survive is the result of unprecedented access that offers a rare look inside the reclusive nation of Eritrea. It's a place that many have never heard of, yet which offers stunning beauty, geographical and ethnic diversity - and an indomitable spirit. This is the first full-length High Definition documentary ever filmed in the newly created state - it's the story of saving unique Art Deco architecture, a mid-century steam train - and also the more urgent attempt to preserve the health of its children through its education system and network of teachers. It's also the story of the longest successful guerrilla war in history - a three decade underground struggle that created an underground government-in-waiting. And when those fighters won independence, we see the remarkable result: health and education systems created in tandem that work together, and now which are set on preserving the future of its school children, just like it has set out to preserve its culture. Beautifully filmed, enjoyable to watch, Eritrea's Struggle to Survive will take you on a journey to the most beautiful place you've never been to.

1. Merry Christmas to all my Eritrean brothers, sisters, kids’ moms and dads where ever you are.  When we are celebrating the birth of our savior JESUS CHRIST who became the sacrificial lamb for our sin, I wish you peace, joy and health and I hope you are celebrating it surrounded with your family friends and neighbors.
   When we are celebrating this beautiful holly day I know that thousands of our Eritreans are living in agony, pain, and desperation because of a heartless cold blooded regime led by a murderer ISAYAS AFEWORKI and his criminal thugs.
   I pray that.
   1- God give us the courage and UNITY so we expedite the demise of the murderer, thief, and criminal regime of ISAYAS AFEWORKI.
   2- God give joy, inner peace and health to thousands of our brothers and sisters in prison so they come out and witness the punishment of the criminals (hopefully hanging of the criminals).
   3- God give strength, joy and health for thousands of our youngsters in Sinai desert, Israel, Sudan, all over Europe and for those in transition.
   4- I pray that God give strength and health to our sisters and brothers who are working day and night sacrificing their time, energy and money to bring UNITY among our people and to end one man rule,  tyranny, killing,  dictatorship crime against our people and expedite the final days of the criminal murderer, ISAYAS AFEWORKI and his gangsters.  
   Finally I pray that God opens up the hearts and minds of our delusional Eritrean brothers and sisters so they see the pain, grief and agony imposed by the criminal gangsters against our people and have the courage to unite with the rest of their people to end SLAVERY, MURDER, JAIL, TYRANY, DICTATORSHIP and crime against humanity.  
   OUR UNITY IS OUR SRENGTH. God bless and have a Merry Christmas.  
2. Eritrea and Ethiopia shall be reunited. Europeans are the ones who divided us and made us hate each other. Our rulers are the ones responsible for the hate between we two people. The people are the same. Eritrea is freed the time she was free from Italy who see the Eritrean people as slaves and fenced their village not to get in contact with them. Addis Ababa (Ethiopia) is a place where Eritreans were respected and lived a better life than other ethnic groups.
   The Derg regime was a hard time for both Ethiopians and Eritreans. But to free Eritrea was not a solution. Ethiopia is developing in an amazing rate and one can go and check the status of Ethiopia. Think the rate if Eritrea was part of Ethiopia, how amazing development to be recorded.
   Our Eritrean and Ethiopian fathers tell us the truth about the life you lived when together. Teach us to be together not to hate each other.
   Think of the money spent in fight against each other and think of the men died for the same.
   Europeans are on the way to become one nation while we poor Africans are splitting into many.
   LETS UNITE OUR NATIONS, THANK YOU

10. Eritra's historians never talk about bad effect of colonialism in Africa, When it comes of colonialism they have Ethiopia to mention. Since that is a lie and when the world is laughing the could not keep it their original saying for ever. like any other temporary false history it is slowly faded.
11. Just like they miss their MOTHER'S MILK, they will ALWAYS cry over Eritrea. TOO BAD,,,, They still didn't get it, paying so much lives & resources, to only get EVICTED from Eritrea.
12. Here we go again another Ethiopian trying to intimidate us with half baked story. Eritrea is Eritrea for Eritreans got it? good.
