Silent Suffering

Human rights abuses are rife in some regions of the world, but they tend to escape the spotlight. Eritrea is one of these countries; its citizens are kept in the dark because of the government's authoritarian rule. Education, healthcare, and the armed forces are all areas where Eritreans have reported receiving unjust treatment, and any who try to flee the nation do so at great personal risk. But this book is about more than simply Eritrea and its people's plight. It is about how strong the human will can be even when confronted with adversity. This is a story about the importance of never giving up on a better tomorrow. We learn more about the suffering and loss felt by the people of this country, as well as their resilience and fortitude, from the accounts of individuals who have lived through it. Everything about Eritrea is explored in this book, from the country's complicated history to its control of technology. This is a tale of perseverance and defiance in the face of adversity; of loss and injustice, but also of the light that may be found in the darkest of times. The plight of the people of Eritrea serves as a sobering reminder of our common humanity and of the urgency with which we must pursue justice and freedom.
