- Author Mohamed Kheir Omer discusses with journalist John Sullivan his new book, The Dynamics of an Unfinished African Dream/Eritrea: Ancient History to 1968, published January 2020.
Mohamed Kheir Omer traces the history of Eritrea, exploring how ethnicity, religion, geography, colonialism, world powers, a war of liberation and other factors have shaped its fate in his new social history book, “The Dynamics of an Unfinished African Dream: Eritrea: Ancient History to 1968” (published by Lulu).
Based on many reference sources available in various languages, local and foreign, Omer shares the various reasons the African country Eritrea and its people continue to struggle to build a just, democratic, and inclusive country. Within the comprehensive narrative the author includes several pictures and documents to be published for the first time. Everything combines to present a case study of an African country that had one of the earliest human fossils and wrote its own script through one of the longest liberation movements of any country.

What a great interview. I can't wait to read your book!!!
Eritrea is geographically close to both religious origins countries that is what makes Eritrea so special not far from Jerusalem and also not from mecca thanks to the red sea, Eritrea has a very valuable historical past and we even have a large part of the Egyptian empire experience all of this make me proud to be an Eritrean god pls let my folk rest in heaven with you.
Being the social product of more dynamic and expansive nations is not a honourable reason to be proud of donqoro.
