Which country did Eritrea gain independence from?

  • Italy

  • Ethiopia

  • Sudan

  • Somalia

Answer

Eritrea gained its independence from Ethiopia after a protracted armed struggle that lasted for over three decades. The Eritrean People's Liberation Front (EPLF) led the campaign for independence, which culminated in a referendum in 1993 where the Eritrean people overwhelmingly voted for secession. Eritrea officially became an independent state on May 24, 1993, marking a significant milestone in African history.
