The Eritrean National Service

Více o knize

The Eritrean National Service (ENS) significantly influences the country's economy, social services, and politics, with over half the workforce forcibly enrolled. Originally rooted in the pursuit of independence and collective good, it has transformed into a system resembling forced labor. The book critically examines the ENS's historical context, objectives, and its effects on national unity and identity. It also highlights the experiences of conscripts, assessing whether the government's proclaimed goals are being met and the profound impact on their lives.
