Question 4 • RAIL OC World Geography Studies B 2027

Which of the following statements best describes the political situation in Eritrea following independence?

Answer
A
Eritrea still has a transitional government; no national elections have been held, and no consistution has been implemented.
B
Eritrea established a parliamentary monarchy after independence and quickly ratified a constitution.
C
Civil war between Christians and Muslims has made establishing government control and stability nearly impossible.
D
Eritrea failed to establish a system of government after gaining independence; warlords continue to battle for control.

Explanation

After independence in 1993, Eritrea remained under a transitional government led by the Eritrean People’s Liberation Front. National elections have not been held, and although a constitution was ratified in 1997, it has never been implemented. Therefore, choice A best describes Eritrea’s political situation; the other choices incorrectly describe a monarchy, religious civil war, or rule by competing warlords.
