Demographics:

Politics:
 * Eritrea has also faced its own problems stemming from its increasing isolation under the two-decade rule of President Isaias Afewerki, a former guerrilla who led the Red Sea state to independence in 1993 after a 30-year war with Ethiopia.

Economics:
 * Eritrea’s economy grew by 8.7% in 2011 owing to the commencement of full operations in the gold and silver Bisha mine and to the production of cement from the cement factory in Massawa; GDP is estimated to have contracted sharply to 5.5% in 2012 because of an unanticipated drop in production at Bisha mine, a fall in remittances and a decline in the price of gold over 2011-12; the economy is expected to improve to 7% in 2013 and to grow by 6.5% in 2014, driven by gold production in the Koka and Zara mines and by copper production in the Bisha mine.
 * **Mining is driving the weak to middling economy**
