Eritrea: A Nation Defying Imperialism 2016

Author: The Communists April 15, 2026 Duration: 54:05
In 1993, a new African nation emerged from decades of armed struggle: the state of Eritrea. Situated on the Red Sea, this young republic has spent the last 30 years building sovereignty and self-reliance in a world determined to undermine it. This documentary takes us inside Eritrea to meet the people building a society on their own terms. We hear from President Isaias Afwerki, from veterans of the Eritrean People’s Liberation Front, who fought for 30 years against occupation, from women who served on the frontlines, and from ordinary working people building schools, hospitals and agricultural cooperatives. What emerges is a picture the western media won’t show you: a nation that achieved the UN’s Millennium Development Goals ahead of schedule through self-propelled development, not charity. A nation that rejected World Bank ‘conditionalities’ and wrote its own development programme. A nation which understands that you cannot build sovereignty while taking orders from those who colonised you. The film doesn’t shy away from the hard questions. Why does Eritrea have ‘such bad press’? Why do the same media outlets that cheerlead for every imperialist intervention suddenly discover ‘human rights concerns’ when a country says ‘No’ to foreign bases and resource extraction? The answer, as one interviewee puts it, lies in understanding who pays the journalists and whom they serve. This is not propaganda. This is solidarity: listening to people tell their own story, in their own words, about what it took to win independence and what it takes to keep it. This is essential viewing for all those fighting against disinformation and the imperialist propaganda machine. And it is essential viewing for all those who want to understand the nature of imperialism and what it takes to defeat it. Anyone who really stands with the oppressed needs to look into and start to understand what is happening in Eritrea ______________________________________________ Subscribe! Donate!

Tune into Proletarian Radio for a grounded and unflinching look at the world through a Marxist lens. Produced by The Communists, this regular broadcast cuts through the noise of mainstream news to offer a class-based perspective on unfolding political crises, international conflicts, and the struggles of working people everywhere. Each episode delves into current events with a focus on material analysis, drawing from the theoretical framework of scientific socialism as developed by the CPGB-ML. You’ll hear detailed discussions that connect daily headlines to broader historical and economic forces, providing context often missing from other reports. This isn't just commentary; it's a tool for understanding the root causes of inequality and imperialism. The aim is to arm listeners with knowledge that informs action, fostering a deeper comprehension of how to challenge the status quo. For those seeking a substantive alternative to conventional news cycles, this podcast serves as both an educational resource and a call to collective organisation. The conversations here are built on the principle that to change the world, one must first systematically understand it.
