It should say, "Which sea borders eritrea?"

I'm surprised by how few people know 'Tigrinya' but know a seemingly random ancient kingdom. Very curious.

I learned about Aksum in high school history so that's how I knew that one.

Might be the spelling. I tried tigrin, tigrina or tigrinja so many times before giving up. Did not know it was spelled that way in English.

I’ve heard of Tigray (ethnicity) but never seen the language spelled that way.

Could you consider accepting "pancake" or "crepe" for injera? If it's the same injera they have in Ethiopian restaurants, it's definitely closer to a pancake than to bread. Thanks!

Agree. It's more pancake than bread.

I tried flat bread after pancake but failed to try bread on its own, sigh,

Any chance of coptic being accepted for the religion question? Aren't the two essentially the same?

No. Coptic is a branch of Oriental Orthodox in Alexandria. The Eritrean church is called Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church

The Coptic Orthodox Church and the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church are both branches of Oriental Orthodoxy, but they are not both Coptic. The word "Coptic" refers to the language, religion, and culture of the Copts, who are almost entirely in Egypt. The Eritrean church uses the Geʽez language, not the Coptic language.

Injera looks, smells, feels, and tastes like an old sponge that has been sitting in your sink for 15 years. It used to be bright yellow but is now a dingy grey and is falling apart in little bits and pieces.

It definitely has the look and feel of an old sponge, but I've always found the smell and taste to be the smell and taste of whatever food was resting atop the injera. Do people eat without something on top?

I eat it plain sometimes and still think it's good, but I agree that it tends to take on the characteristics of what you eat with it.

Kal, I disagree. I've never tasted an old sponge, so I can't speak to that part of your critique, but I think injera is quite tasty. I find the look, smell and texture of it to be delightful as well. Totally craving some now.

try an old sponge sometime, then. You might like it.

i wont argue with the look or feel, but the taste and smell? definitely not. taste is quite sour imo, but the wat or shiro will balance it out(and the injera tempers the spice!). smells kinda metallic though.

Eritrea is also called Africa's hermit kingdom, which seems a more relevant fact than its proximity to three other countries, especially since one question identifies that it's part of the Horn of Africa.

I tried "Samara." So close, and yet over 4000km away.

Possible to also accept Asmera for the capital?

From wikipedia:

Asmara (/æsˈmɑːrə/ əs-MAHR-ə), or Asmera, is the capital and most populous city of Eritrea [...]
