Leaks from Eritrea, Africa's North Korea


Eritrea is the most censored country in the world, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists and Reporters Sans Frontières. Often referred to as Africa’s North Korea, the Eritrean government controls the flow of information with vigilance, restricting any dissenting voices from reaching the people.

As a result, Eritrean activists are forced to get creative. Through pirate radio, cold calls, messages on banknotes and posters put up in the dead of night, dissidents find ways to generate the only resistance they can.

VICE News follows members of the Eritrean diaspora community in Europe as they run radio stations, maintain online opposition sites and help to organize those still in Eritrea.

  3. 6:34 his accent sounds more of Ethiopia. Decent than Eritrean, he wasn’t pronouncing most of his words correctly and no disrespect but don’t have an Ethiopian in interview pretending to be Eritrean. Not condoning any actions by Eritrea!!

  4. This shit is so racist. Even the title is used to demonize the country to the viewer before they even watch the video. Africa’s North Korea. Vice once again proving they are the hipster arm of the US state department

  5. its just sad knowing that they have dreams while i just sit at home and watch youtube everyday

  6. Why do you fools think you can reinvent the Communist wheel
    It is failed flawed over.

  11. Will these countries never be able to take care of themesleves… They´re like retarded children with their povertry, crime and wars… century after century

  12. Reporter: "Everybody is forced to join the army, and Eritrea isn’t even at war!"

    Same reporter 5 seconds later: "Btw, meet this wonderful rebel army that regularly attacks Eritrea."

  13. Great, another country i have never heard of that i wish i never had, humanities is collapsing from within as it must. Parasites dont last long.

  14. armed groups fighting and "no one" can stop it, well they don’t produce their weapons so cut the supply (surely all intelligence agencies know all of the suppliers), there is no need for embargos and make civilians suffer even more, just stop the weapons. But then big fat grey haired bosses from US, EU, Russia and other countries would not get the pay check. So no rather watch the people die and make the rich richer.

  17. Vice News, although I don’t always agree with your world view, may I say to you that I appreciate your willingness and sacrifice to bring news of this magnitude to viewers who would perhaps not see or hear it. It is not only informative but necessary —no, critical that it continues to be seen and heard. Again, thank you.
