Eritrea’s Power Challenges


Ariel view of Asmara at night

Eritrea’s Power Challenges

By Berhane Woldu,

At a conference in Asmara Eritrea, a person in the audience got up and decried the fact that there is acute power problem. The person’s concern was that the City of Asmara was becoming prone to blackouts, the inconveniences of the shortage of light and the use of surfing the internet. I was taken aback by the question and had wanted the person to sit down; but being rational and on topic was the way out. It means that recognizing that the question of power isn’t a moral issue. It is financial, environmental and technical.

As the saying goes Electricity is the issue of the “White Elephant”. The Ministry of Energy and mines has from the outset devised strategies to supply sufficient, reliable and cost effective energy supply that takes the ecosystem into account. The energy policy takes into account the social, economical and the benefits of future generation.

Presently, there is a huge difference in the demand and supply of power. This is due to greater power demand than its power production capacity. Prior to the nation’s independence the demand for power was limited. Electricity was-only supplied in the very few major cities with low population density and electrification was limited. After independence the distribution of electricity lines has been expanded to areas that were never beneficiaries.

The integrated national electricity network power supply has increased in terms of megawatts’. There was ample supply of power until the year of 2006 all the major cities were well supplied with electrical power and no blackouts were seen in the city of Asmara, Massawa or other major cities. However, as demand for power increased specially with the increase of distribution to the outskirt cities and villages, the supply and demand has not intersected.

The increase and update of the power supply at different intervals has not been sufficient with the increase in the use of power. Small industries, Hospitals, education facilities and the municipal services have increased immensely. These increases in service have increased the demand for electricity. Every household now has TV, Refrigeration, micro-wave, electric-oven and few have air-conditioned their living quarters. These and many other conspicuous consumption has stressed the system. The ministry of energy has updated the Hirgego power plant and it’s expected to resolve the power outages shortly. In-addition the use of generators and renewable energy is expanding. As the nation develops the demand for power will increase.

How is the future power supply to be addressed? Which economic sector are the priorities? Is it the industrial sector, Agro-industry or the electrification to every corner of the country for consumer consumption? What are our finical outlooks and capacity to fund these demands? What type of power plant? These are the conversation we need to have.

However demanding, there are plans and on-going work to satisfy energy supply demand through the expansion of electrification programs, introducing new generators and networking different areas that have not yet been covered through grids.

There are two major areas of concern in the general skim of development that has been given priority. Gedeme Cement Factory and the Gash-Barka region which is the center of the Agro-industry, known for its economic potentials, are priorities and amongst the recipients of this plan.

The Gedem Cement factory has been in less than its production capacity; with the nations plan in the housing projects and water conservation programs it has to be fully functional and productive in order to supply cement to the housing projects and dams that has been planned. Hence the Ministry of energy has been working in accomplishing Gedem’s cement factory own sources of power independent of other sources to enable its full production.

The Gash-Barka region with high potential in the Agro-industry and known for its economic miracles are priorties and recipient of this plan. The agro-industry has high power needs the projected sites like Omahger, Gerset, Fanco and the Tesene area. The Anseba region such as Alegader to the South Himbol to the West these projects are the Mother of All Integrated Power Priorities that is being worked on. The interconnected power supply will have to increase to over 300 Megawatts’. These and many power issues are being addressed as the ministry is working with different partners in types of power sources and the funding of these power projects.

As a nation we are not capable of nuclear power however there are a range of alternatives that we could work on such as geothermal energy, solar and wind energy. They have their own advantages and disadvantages but could be contributors to our power source even to the extent of fully powered on alternative renewable source of energy.

If we were to only use hydrocarbons and have no other alternatives what is the environmental consequences we have to contend with, what is the damage to human life? We are all aware of the power problem around the world. Some nations have shortages others have plenty of power yet they have problem with environmental issues. Nuclear power maybe nonpolluting but is a source of radioactive waste disposal problem and its radioactive leaks has killed many people and has caused environmental damages.

Going forward our plan should concentrate on two major power sources: conservation and renewable source. The ministry of energy needs to work on minimizing wastage of power by educating the population on conservation and encouraging the use of solar power to new buildings.

This is not to say the ministry has not done its job as it’s documented introduction of economical lamp in the Northern Red sea area, the use of wind energy in the Southern Red sea region and the introduction of modern equipment to prevent wastages during the process of transmission from one area to another are witness to the great job the ministry is doing in conservation. The Ministry has also expanded the use of natural gas for cooking purposes and introducing oven that use gas instead of electricity by building gas distribution tanker that cost 4 million euro in 2010 and new tanker that cost 10 million euro to supplement the use of electrical power.

As stated above the issue of power is not a simple issue it’s the issue of the “White Elephant” and one that cannot be accomplished within a short years of development. It needs a large amount of foreign currency, expertise and budget to service and run power.

For my friend who decried that Asmara is in the dark, I would like to say, if the priorities were to only to provide electricity to the cities, his concern would not have been an item for discussion. But the Nations mission is equal accesses to all regardless of location.

Much has been achieved in the electrification of the nation and increasing the source of power and more is to be done in the near future. The Eritrean people and government as has done in the past will overcome the power shortage through the culture of doing your best with whatever you have while building one thing at a time.

Percentage of population with access to electricity - Eritrea (32%), Ethiopia (17%), Kenya (16%), Uganda (9%), Sudan (36%)

  2. If I can put my two cent Eritera is God gifted land when it comes to sun we have sun the whole year round I think to compote the problem first we have to think our # 1 energy #2 energy #3 energy is a solution solar is the biggest solution to country side people one solar plate with one 6 volt battery and a converter it's good for one house hold in country side kids can do school home work on the night and people have light on dinner time can make a lot good use to it above all it's green Energy now when it comes to city my take on that is windmill is a way to go we in Eritrea we have blessed with wind we have so much mountain so if you do the math 1 wind mill can produce 2 mega watt if any household in Eritera use 3 to 4 K Watt which is 1 mega watt is 1000 K w so 1 windmill motor is enough to cover 700 household think if we get about 10 dozen on one farm we be sufficient enough maybe we might even stop use a gas generator!!!!!

  3. What ever shortage in the country has to be blamed on bad governance and incompetent leadership.I believe the main responsibility of a government is to manage resource to keep up a sustainable supply of goods and services .The Government can not even produce the necessity ,shows that there is a big problem with the policy of the government .

    No investment ,no trade and the productive part of the population is either outside the country or in the military . how do you expect the country to grow its economy .Every second propaganda to deceive the people by blaming all the countries problem on USA.

    Frist of all weak and corrupt government always searches for excuse instead of taking responsibilities and work to wards implementing better solutions.

    It is time DIA to go .We had heard enough excuses. every one know what is going on .

  5. You are way out of reality. You are trying to compare Eritrea with your current domicile.This days the global economic crisis is affecting every nation. Eritrea with two unjust sanctions is doing much better than neighbors countries. You seems to me that you don't know about corruption. I recommend you to visit Eritrea' neighbors countries in order to have the big picture of corruption. You said it is time DIA to go. Do you have anybody who can replace PIA? Do you've any proposal for the minor economy distress, investment and trade. Please, refrain from echoing woyane's agenda.

    I am back from short family visit in Eritrea. Five out of 7 days I was in Eritrea felti was living in dark age. All over the country was power outage. This is the latest development after 20 plus years of independence. The government in Eritrea run by few elites is the most incompetent clique that has existed in Africa. It is time for change.

    You seem smart enough. Tell me how sanction can affect a country like Eritrea? Sanction is done to purposely weaken the government everywhere so that weak people like you give up on their government then comes US colaborator leader for their use. Tsemam Hade derfus nisikha ikha.
    We Eritreans abroad and from inside have to come together and innovate something sustainable together. Our intellectual and material help is needed. Lets forget for a minute "those leaders" what should we do together HAND-IN-HAND ?

  9. If we are taking the environment into consideration, then why is Eritrea so largely dependent on biomass and oil for electricity? Carbon is emitted and land is being deforested! Let's be realistic, if we are waiting on renewable energy to address the lack of power in our country, than the issue will not be addressed anytime soon. Even the most developed nations have yet to fully implement it. We need to transition to renewables and do what the rest of the world is doing in the process and use hydrcarbons until the infrastructure for renewable energy is available. Particularly natural gas (the cleanest fossil fuel) and coal since they are so cheap and because we cannot meet the current demand for energy.

    Think about it, meeting the demand for energy for our population should be our GREATEST concern. Most of the biggest issues we have and will continue to face (food and water supply, disease, poverty, education, war, environment, and democracy) can potentially be solved with energy, particularly renewable energy, security.

    One source of renewable energy is not enough, because even renewables come from somewhere (there is no such thing as a free lunch). Solar energy is good, but do not forget that it requires expensive minerals to create those solar panels and they must be able to store adequate energy when there is not enough sunlight. Hydroelectric is not bad, but remember they are big holes in the ground that are filled up with water and after decades they will fill up with soil and silt. Geothermal is practical and geographically favorable, but requires a large initial investment and is associated with a lot of risks. Biofuels are out of the question because they use large quantities of fresh water and a great deal of land. Nuclear is also not really renewable since you have to use uranium which is retrieved from mining and is also very dangerous.

    A diverse portfolio of energy, mainly geothermal, hydroelectric, wind, and solar should be implemented in the future. Until then, I think hydrocarbons should be used. However, we should begin worrying about these issues now and focus on equipping eritreans with the technical skills they need to address the challenges associated with renewable energy (sawa and mai nefhi might not suffice) and foster good relationships with potential investors while also being able to work with foreign experts. Once that has been done, then we will see Eritrea become prosperous and truly self reliant. I strongly believe things will get better in Eritrea, it is just a matter of when, too much suffering has been endured by our people for it not to.

  10. It is easy to trash talk, that's why the so called oppositions are day and night getting better at it, but with no fruit. PFDJ are this ... PFDJ are that ... Isaias is this ... Isaias is that. Do you think the people in charge of providing electric power to every house hold in Eritrea are happy? Absolutely not, although they are doing their best with the little resources they have.
    PFDJ, formerly known as EPLF are responsible for independence of Eritrea. I don't believe there is any Eritrean who is 100% supporter of PFDJ. Everyone (including Isaias Afeworki) has at least something they wish they could change the way the country is run. If you wish one thing you could change, go ahead and write a suggestion on Hadas Eritrea. If you live outside Eritrea, well the first thing you need to do is move to where you would like to make the changes at. I am for any group of
    people who are capable of running the country better that PFDJ. Sorry, I won't support anyone who is running around behind woyane and insulting the very organization that brought independence of Eritrea. Tell us if there are group of Eritrean opposition, free of woyane flees, not under the payroll of CIA, are living in Eritrea or are ready to move to Eritrea, credible enough to care for Eritrea, with valid work resume, able to point out not just the bad & ugly but also the good & amazing of PFDJ, and above all, convince us they will definitely will do better job than PFDJ. If you can do that, count my support. On paper? We all could do better than our teachers. Look at Obama, he probably thought he could do a lot better that George W Bush. We were hopping dollars, he brought us “change”. What kind of democracy are the Eritrean opposition planning to bring? The Syrian? The Iraqi? The Yemenis? The Libyan? The Egyptian? Or the best of all, the Woyane Democracy?
    I have heard and read many complaints about PFDJ which sometimes I do agree, but I have never heard/read any proposal from any "opposition" to how they will run Eritrea better. Please, show as if you have any proposal so we may take you serious.
    So far, PFDJ has proven the only (and hence) better solution.

  14. I am glad the problem is official now and it is good to discuss the issue openly. Awareness raising is important here. The people should not be discouraged or lose hope. As mentioned above if the supply and demand does not much there is always a problem. Solar system is an option to solve the temporary problem. Companies who deal with solar should be encouraged to produce more. As also mentioned above the expansion of electricity to the remote area and the availability of modern technology requires a lot of power. By understanding our shortcomings being quotient on the usage is another help to the government. Experts advise
    also helps to tackle the problem. Whether we believe it or not the effect of
    sanction leads to such crisis. Sanction= 'Akeleka mesebabe malete endeyu?

  18. You go B.Adal! Besides, granted that adequate provision of electricity is essential, is electricity the most urgent of our challenges? Independence and sovereignty are! Are people who are complaining about shortages in power supply advocating for regime change for this trivial challenge?

    Are we the only country with inadequate supply of Electricity? Aren't other countries experiencing similar shortages while they "export" to other countries? Even South Africa (one of the BRICS--S for South Africa) had shortages at one time! Even big cities such as New York experience shortages of power when there is a high demand for electricity (eg. weather conditions that require the widespread use of air conditioners)The only ones who give it the importance it does not deserve are those who oppose our government because they do not have any points except several of trivial complaints (relative to independence and sovereignty) which if they list them often enough, they hope will make them look legitimate!

  22. Your MELHAS seems to be 3 times as long! You added the lies "no security" and "no safety" (which mean the same) to your usual list of items, but you have nothing new to add today as always!

    Algebra has to do with the topic because you and others like you conveniently miss the other variables that matter. The mathematical statements are metaphors for the relevant issues. You miss the other variables, because you want--as a Weyane propagandist does--people to see the challenges as the only ones that matter and the government is to blame.

    Let me take you to recent events in the maekelai mibraq. They are claiming that the daily deaths of innocents and the capture of territories by brutal forces is not of their making! They say they are not responsible! Would all this have happened if they did not destroy the government and infrastructures early this century by using terror and weapons of mass destruction as pretexts? According to the kind of things you write here you will agree with these forces and blame the victim instead.

    I can accept that the situation is perhaps too complicated to you, but purposefully denying for ulterior reasons makes you a Weyane propagandist whether willingly or unwillingly.

    It looks like you will continue to berate and denigrate everything about Eritrea and insulting anyone who tells you different. I know you are not willing to be convinced perhaps because you have some personal anger, but if I expose you, I have fulfilled my purpose.

    ReplyDelete
  23. That is a lie! Eritrea does not hold any Ethiopian territory. You must have confused it with the territories the Weyane say were theirs, but the EEBC awarded to Eritrea. Otherwise, no Ethiopian land as awarded by the EEBC is being held by Eritrea. The EEBC decision is the LAW, in case you do not know.

    Are you purposely bringing this as an escape mechanism? Why change subject so quickly?

    ReplyDelete
  24. That is why we need the Weyane to vacate our territories. That way a dialogue on the way forward can be made as there are so many short-term and long-term issues of common interest--be it in the economic, social or security sector.

    Tell the Weyane to stop being selfish! They went to war, they went to court, they begged their masters and they should not seek to gain what they did not gain through war and arbitration and bullying through further dialogue. Meles himself had said that they did not gain anything but losses through the war. Read Wiki Leaks!

    The time for dialogue has been over for a long time. Do not forget that all dialogue was exhausted and the final decision of the EEBC was to be final with no ifs or buts and implemented. Does the Weyane need 15 + years to understand this?

  28. Eritrea is already purchasing Ethiopia's electricity. Its enough to power all of Gash Barka

    ReplyDelete
  29. Did you read the article? Or will you be a child and diminish the story because its hosted on an Agame site?

    I will requote.

    "Compromise politics, power sharing or giving substantial rights to opposition, or even to its citizens, is seen as a personal defeat by leading elites on both sides. As long as this political culture of envy and authoritarianism predominates there is little hope for improvement in terms of democratization, the building of a ‘lasting peace’, sustainable economic upsurge and other such fictions."

    You can continue living in the fantasy that Eritrea is enjoying sustainable economic growth but the electricity shortages and human migration figures indicate otherwise.

    Selfishness is placing concern with oneself or one's own interests above the well-being of others.

    There are millions of other Eritreans. If there was only one capable Eritrean leader/president, then the country was not worth dying for. I believe there are many others that would definitely be up to ask, however they are not provided with the right opportunities.


    Please do not even mention things such as "nobody is up to task" or "PIA is replaceable". That would mean that Eritrea would be over if PIA dies?

  40. The idea having every household in a village to have solar driven energy is good, but practically it is not that possible for multiple reasons . First the cost of having battery based grid system for every house is expensive. You need to have a good quality solar panel, a battery, charge controller, inverter. Batteries have to be maintained at least twice a month. If something goes wrong, you have to replace the components and for that you need to have skilled people on every village.
    The simple and everlasting solution is regardless the cost, to build a solar power plant. For example, India is building worlds largest solar power that could produce over 20,000MW at a cost of 4 billion dollar. Many Eritrean places are convenient to build Solar plants. Many places in Eritrea boasts over 300 days of sunshine. It might cost us money today, but it pays off in a long run.
    The main problem is, the people in power don't think for tomorrow. They don't want to spend money and they want everything free. They are very short sighted people and with such kind of mentality they have dragged us down to the dark age.

  55. You are referring to opinions expressed there. The opinions belong to the person that expressed the opinion. I am referring to facts! Why are you shifting from subject to subject anyway? Just tell your bosses that they need to think for the long-term! Vacate now!

  56. If this was what you had to say, why didn't you say it in the first place? We all know that you can make childish remarks like that. I thought you may have misunderstood the situation or heard the rumors and not the facts. I would have told you to go play outside, this is for mature people only!

  70. Mis zizelele ekha tizelil.
    PIA is the liberator of Eritrea. He is the only courageous leader from the corrupted Africa continent who opposes hegemony. He talk the talk and walk the walk.
    Who is your replacement for PIA?
    1. Weldeysus Amar (Woyane's puke licker)
    2. Tewelde Ghebreselasei - ney. He agametized himself by married the sister of ethiopia ex foreign minster Sium Mesfin.
    3. Amanuel Meles. (the son of wedo geba who suffered from regionalism)
    4. Wedi Bacaro - He is suffering from dementia probably early stage alzheimer.
    5. Salih "Gedi" Johar - Al Qaida wanna be
    6. DR. Berket Habteselasei - He has a dream before he die to see Eritrea and Ethiopia to be unified.
    PIA is a president of Eritrea until his heart ceased to beat and his mind ceased to think.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Eritrea has many efficient leaders who can follow PIA's legacy. If you think to install a democratic government that hatched in Mekele or Awasa, you would rather eat your pie in the sky. The people of Eritrea will not accept any imported democracy. As far as I know 99% of the sellouts are in the payroll of Woyane.

  73. Yes again two unjust sanctions.
    -Sanction will constrain the GOE nation building project.
    - Sanction will stifle the GOE to defend Eritrean's sovereign.
    - Sanction will make very difficult to the GOE diplomacy activities.
    Let me give you this simple example
    Hypothetically, you have been arrested for drunk drive and the court told you that you can live your life and go to work by bus or asking your friend to give you ride but you cannot drive. Doesn't the court decision affect in your daily basis life? Of course, it makes your life miserable.

  74. Brhane - if you have anything to say, just bring it so we could discuss it. We don't need to agree on every point but we could adress our opinions and narrow our difference. It seems you have nothing to bring and that's why you are jumping on insulting me.

  75. If a leader is unable to lead a nation into prosperity then he/she has to step down and hand over the leadership position to someone who can lead.
    President Issayas has failed the nation. He lead us into war against 4 countries. In one occasion we lost territories - The two Hanish Islands. It was a blander from Issayas to go to war on all four occasions. 20 plus years after independence, we don't have anything except blind supporters who are accelerating the diminish of our nation called Eritrea. If you read History books, you would learn what Siyad Barre did to Somalia. Siyad Baree said before he removed from power, I will leave a big Shit behind me. Guess what? That stinking big he left is still there and no one could be able to remove it.

  81. It depend which country I am living in. If I am living in Italy, Germany , Denmark ..... I don't care if the court take my license permanently. ;)

    Aside from the above joke, If I am arrested on drun drive then I am guilty and I shall pay. So in other word you are saying Eritrea is guilty and it has to pay through sanction! Am I right???

    ReplyDelete
  82. Forget about the above losers - what about you? Can't you be a leader of a nation?? What stops you from becoming a leader? Do you see yourself inferior to Issayas? Or if you have grown up kids, what stops them to replace Issayas? Are they inferior to him?

  84. Before I even began my answer let me give you my back ground I work with ISO 9001 well known Electrical mechanical company almost 26 years for the last 6 year I involve with a lot of solar project it's not b/c I read about it I Make living on it now That I do explain my self I think we agree on my city take. Why I said solar is better for country side this is the reason most the country side people live in one room 1 solar panel charge 6 volt DC battery less than 4hr you invert the power to min AC now you well have 12 watt LCD light give you 100 watt on the battery doesn't go bad before two year remember mostly country side houses are very spread ,the cost is very expensive to copper wire from house to street to make a line + country side is a poor planing .what they can take advantage of this # 1 kids can do home work rather than go to bed b/c I was their about 5 month ago almost every one under 12 years old they go to school #2 they can charge their Mobil phone rather go to city to charged it #3 they can have convent quality time #4 most of all to our government it's cost effective we don't have much resource and it make a lot sense to me I hope this answer your doubt

    ReplyDelete
  85. Thank you. We need such caliber in order to allow us see the different options to challenge our shortages.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Again, it is a good idea but a simple Solar panel kit including battery cost on average $ 500. Where does this money comes from? The majority of our people lives on $1 a day. Add to that the shipping cost, installation cost, maintenance cost. Remember we are talking about people living in villages. If the government is willing to buy them such amount of solar panel kits, then it is a good idea but our people lives in country side do not afford it.

  91. That is all you can?? I thought you were better than that but I was wrong. You showed us you are the lowest of the lowest.

  92. But remember Issayas is the expert on everything from aviation to agriculture. That is why our airlines got bankrupted and we are sending food to our families with cargo ship to feed them!

    When is the next cargo ship departs?

  93. Hi Jimmy,
    As you explained above, solar business start picking up now in Eritrea. I talked to a friend who's in business and said over 90% of his customers are not from the city, like Adikheyeh, Senafe,...The people are who install panels have to take a test and be certified from ministry of mining. The project has been popular in the country recently. People aware of the use of it. Soon will be like dish tv.

  94. I ain't a delusion person like you to involve in a matter which is beyond my wisdom and ability. Don't underestimate PIA leadership. PIA a person of such tremendous personality that he would attain leadership in what ever movement he participated. Yes, I see myself inferior to the legend PIA. Please, don't try like the crazy frog - Enqurob si Kindi Harmaz Kikhwin eye ela tetokisa motet yibahal.

  95. Eritreans chose their fate. Esayas is doing excellent job in making the people of Eritrea #1 beggers around the world, they sent him some% from their ration they are getting in the camps of neighboring countries like Ethiopia; yet half of the Eritreans live below the poverty line! Keep it up Esayas, the fool Eritreans (I can say most of them) are going to pay for their foolishness!

  96. What'up RTG;
    Your puke lickers club left no stone unturned to create havoc in Eritrea but to no avail. The people of Eritrea are smart and have the ability to figure out the game behind the game. I advise you to get help to free yourself from awrajawi sentiment.

  97. Selamat RTG;
    Now, I realized that greed has been dominated your life. You've a dream to put your scabby and bloody hand into the mountains of gold. That mountain gold belongs to the people of Eritrea. Don't try to be a free loader. If you've a wish to upgrade your fake jewelry from the mountain gold of Bisha, you better cleanse your filthy thought and defend the sovereignty and liberty of Eritrea.

  98. This is last time I respond on this issue hope this will be eye opener "Where is the well their is a way " now I didn't steady economics but I have a general idea how things work with do respect to you I don't know where you got $1.00 a day but Eriteran even tho they start from scratch they do have a lot of potentially to grow you don't pull $500.00 price and you dismiss I think you price it on western market value if you think about pricing in western country the same in Africa I think you are wrong they add labour cost on all items. you can not buy loaf of bread in US the same price in Africa , As you read from the top they already start solar in Eritera I know our government can give loan to people if it is for good use they did with taxi driver bus driver Morgage farming live stocks and lands things like that I know in long run this will pay for it ,that how we grow be responsible and make the best use of it by the way Eri tv is not free our government pay for it may be some al chepo watch it on desk top on eastafro.com ,most of all solar for country side is convent .hope our government look to this,and I know they will !!!!!

    leaders don't need to follow DIA .He is good for nothing.

    FYI I didn't even mention weyane or Ethiopia for even one
    time bcoz I don’t care about them. They are not part of the Eritrean problem or
    solution .DIA has no courage to face the truth but brings up weyane-USA as escape goat . He is dragging the country back.
    Actually He don’t even have legitimacy to stay in power

  101. Don't worry,
    By next year, Eritrea will get energy supply an interrupted from Ethiopia Via Sudan. The only hiccup is Eritrea will have to pay commission to Sudan for the added service.

    ReplyDelete
  102. Jimmy, I am not against your idea. As idea, it is very good, but often unpractical idea wouldn't take you no where. The price I gave you for Solar panel kit is the most realist price in the market now. Remember, all those equipments you and I mentioned do not produced in Eritrea. you mentioned loaf of bread as an example, but the loaf of bread we have there is grown and baked there. We don't import it, on the other hand the Solar panel kits we import it. Don't forget the shipping and handling cost on the top of that.
    On the question of Eritreans income, go and google it and you will find out the majority of our people live under a dollar a day.
    About EriTV you mentioned, every household in Eritrea pays TV service fee.
