Has Eritrea ever had a functioning constitution?
Yes, since 2000
No, not yet
Yes, since 1991
Yes, but outdated
Answer
The answer is no, Eritrea has not yet had a functioning constitution. Despite gaining independence in 1993, Eritrea has been under the authoritarian rule of President Isaias Afwerki, who has repeatedly delayed the implementation of a constitution that was approved in a 1997 referendum. As a result, Eritrea lacks a framework for democratic governance and protection of individual rights.
