Eritrea (/ˌɛrᵻˈtreɪ.ə/ or /ˌɛrᵻˈtriːə/;, officially the State of Eritrea, is a country in the East Africa. With its capital at Asmara, it is bordered by Sudan in the west, Ethiopia in the south, and Djibouti in the southeast. The northeastern and eastern parts of Eritrea have an extensive coastline along the Red Sea. The nation has a total area of approximately 117,600 km2 (45,406 sq mi), and includes the Dahlak Archipelago and several of the Hanish Islands. Its name Eritrea is based on the Greek name for the Red Sea (Ἐρυθρὰ Θάλασσα Erythra Thalassa), which was first adopted for Italian Eritrea in 1890.
Eritrea is a multi-ethnic country, with nine recognized ethnic groups in its population of around six million. Most residents speak Afroasiatic languages, either of the Semitic or Cushitic branches. Among these communities, the Tigrinya make up about 55% of the population, with the Tigre people constituting around 30% of inhabitants. In addition, there are a number of Nilo-Saharan-speaking Nilotic ethnic minorities. Most people in the territory adhere to Christianity or Islam.

English/Nat Eritrean forces attacked Ethiopia's biggest border post during a dawn raid on Wednesday. Fighting in the northwest Tigray province involved intense shelling. And as casualties continue to mount, so too do the number of refugees fleeing the area. Eritrean forces have launched a fresh attack on Ethiopian positions in the heart of disputed territory that has sparked a conflict between the two neighbours. The attack in northwest Tigray province, on the Badme-Shiraro front at Erde Mattios, started early Wednesday morning. Some reports say it is continuing. Ethiopia says Eritrea set off the current border conflict on May 6 when it moved into Ethiopian territory in that region. For their part, the Ethiopians said attacks are coming from Eritrean forces inside Eth...
When a small Vancouver mining company Nevsun struck gold in a remote corner of Africa, it started with so much promise. In remote Eritrea, Nevsun built a mine that was generating $700 million in profits in its first four years of operation. But it was also generating a lot of controversy – because Nevsun was partnered with a brutal dictatorship that runs the country and controls 40% of the mine. That has led to allegations by the UN and Human Rights Watch that the regime has used conscripted military labour in the mine. The Eritrea government has also been accused of funneling arms to the terrorist group al-Shabaab. Nevsun denies the allegations of human rights abuses and insists it is a “template for responsible international business.” What is the price of doing business with a dictato...
English/Nat Ethiopian nationals in the Eritrean Red Sea port city of Assab have held a mass demonstration, demanding the right to go home. The rally came during a lull in the latest fighting in the war between Ethiopia and Eritrea over territory. About sixty per cent of the population of Assab is Ethiopian and many have been left unemployed and penniless since the start of the war with Eritrea. At the Port of Assab there is no work. Ethiopia has stopped using Assab's shipyards since the latest war began in early June. Business has been transferred instead to nearby Djibouti, resulting in a virtual shutdown of the port. Assab has a population of about 30-thousand people and about 60 per cent are Ethiopian nationals. Ethiopians in the town say they have been left unem...

While some places are on this list due to armed conflicts and violence, other places are on the list thanks to physical or biological calamities. Regardless of the reasons, the one thing all of these places have in common is that most western governments do not advise travel to them unless it is absolutely necessary.

Also, before we continue, just remember, being on this list doesn't necessarily mean the entire country is bad to visit (although it can). Just make sure to check on regional travel warnings.
