my god, I saw small documentary here on yt, on how elders railworkers voluntered to rebuild the railways. Elders rebuilding the steam locomotives, people finding rails and equipment from old bunkers, trenches ect. And rebuilding everything by HAND. Carring raylers on their own shoulders. Totally impressive 100% respect.
I admire the altruistic spirit of the Eritrean People. They are an inspiration to Humanity in the Dark Times we have with pathetic self compromising so called élites backing evil and sealing their own doom in the process. Our former Prime minister with blood on his hands has donated $7million to some soldiers charity but that will not absolve him of the blood of many peoples he has on his hands.
Fighting indepence for 30 years against Marxist Military juntas. Good for the Eritreians helping to unite the Horn of Africa and Africa and General. Praise to Isaias Afewerki, very strong leader and did what was best for eritrea. Its a shame no one has seen these Vids. It shame not many know about Eritrea.

The story about human endeavor, rising up against overwhelming odds & rebuilding a destiny on your own terms with out outside patronage.
1, The train & it rails was demolished in the 50 years Ethio-Eritrean war.
2. Most of the train workers martierd, fighting to liberate their country, Eritrea.
3.The rest of the train workers were disintegrated.
After the war the DISINTEGRATED old workers got UNITED & VOLUNTEERED to rebuild the train & the rails.
So they did.

Eritrea may be a remarkable country, but it has an atrocious human-rights record, according to Amnesty International.
