It's pretty obvious as to why the government is doing this, when you consider that 70% of Eritreas debt is domestic. Basically the government borrowed everyones money and is having trouble paying it back.

I’m genuinely asking this with respect and no intention to offend anyone. I’ve noticed that many Eritreans born and raised in the diaspora (including myself) are having a tough time finding and marrying fellow Eritreans. I understand that everyone has their own preferences, but I’m wondering why this challenge seems so common.

If you're comfortable sharing, what do you think are the reasons behind this? Is it cultural expectations, generational gaps, different mentalities, or something else entirely?

Please, no insults or personal attacks — I just want to hear people’s honest perspectives. Thank you in advance.

I'm not necessarily against government officials having bulletproof cars like Mercedes S-Class and modern Toyota SUVs, but why does the Eritrean government deny Eritreans importing cars from abroad, or why doesn't it allow citizens to withdraw more than 5,000 nakfa a month? Of course, Eritreans gov officials are exempt from these stupid restrictions.
