Eritrea is located in the Horn of Africa, which is in Northeast Africa and borders the Red Sea. With a land area of over 117,600 km it is 107th in size of country and has a population of over 6 million which ranks it 107th. Most of the workers are in mines, which produce copper, gold, granite, marble and potash. They have an average income of $546 a year. The main reason for the problems in Eritrea can be found in the history of the Eritrean-Ethiopian War which was responsible for over $600 million in land damages and about $220 million in loss of livestock; add to that the loss of over 55,000 homes and it is easy to see where the main problems started. Currently, Eritrea is working hard to rebuild it homes, roads and livestock.
