don't believe everything u hear. ERITREA IS THE MOST PEACEFUL COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. UNLIKE THE OTHER AFRICAN COUNTRIES IN ERITREA U CAN WALK FREELY AT NIGHT. I LIVE IN ASMARA MORE THAN 10 YEARS I NEVER HEARD A GUN SHOT, MURDERED Etc.THE PPL OF ERITREA R VERY NICE...GO CHECK OUT YOURSELF U WOULD BE SURPRISE

[is1943]

I agree with you, I felt quite safe walking the streets,the people were all friendly.

Vorrei gentilmente sapere se questa littorina è in regolare servizio o se si tratta di una rievocazione, grazie in anticipo.

In ogni caso, è un filmato straordinario.

[is1943]

Viene utilizzato per i viaggi charter.

Concordo. Anzi, guai a parlare male di Mussolini in Eritrea, molti anziani potrebbero offendersi.

Comunque, anche se la ferrovia fu completata nel Novembre del 1911, la Littorina fu portata da Mussolini nel 1935 e dimezzò il tempo di pecorrenza da Massawa ad Asmara in tre ore, dalle sei che ne impiegava la locomotiva a vapore Ansaldo serie 440-441-442.

so I take it u r answering my question "NO"? lol, wierdo, if ur eritrean u just kind of made ur country look like uncivilised people by ranting to not even answer a simple question!

There were cases of christian persicution I have descovered quite recently, they were locked in shipping containers in sweltering heat and many died.

And what exactly is my church? do u know? plus if u mean christianity there were as many if not more muslim and african slavers.

DO YOU REALLY KNOW ERITREA or you are just reading your Grand mother's playboy?

FYI: Way before your world knew anything about RELIGIOUS FREEDOM Eritreans built Monasteries, Churches, Mosques, Synagogues,,, to freely WORSHIP & PRACTICE their religion, with out government approval seal or tax-exempt license contract like your church.

Therefore, In Eritrea, Religion/Faith is traditional heritage & culture, treasured for thousands years, before SLAVE EMPIRE forced your grand father to worship one.
