Fundamental Road Safety Choices and Specific Drivers Risk Behaviour in Eritrea To deal adequately with the traffic problems in Eritrea, and the threats of vehicular accidents, and to find the most effective way to prevent the loss of human life against these threats, we must first of all determine the essential components, positive and negative, of the contemporary traffic problems in Eritrea. The essential point of departure is, and remains, most Eritrean drivers do not respect traffic signs, pedestrians, and cyclists, and the rules and commands of driving. If one walks, for instance, even briefly, in the streets of Asmara, which has all the essential elements of modern traffic facilities such as traffic lights, traffic signs, pedestrian cross walks, one faces a dilemma-a dilemma of when to obey the laws of traffic. .... Sorting out the traffic chaos in Eritrea can be handled very simply if one makes distinctions, and knows a few basic, simple principles. First of all, there must be a synergy between the law enforcement officers, the insurance company, drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. The traffic signs, the rules and commands by law enforcement officers, and the question of how prudently the penalties are given and the consequences beyond monetary punishment such as an increase in insurance coasts for these most offenders, the suspension of drivers licence for most dangerous drivers have to be assessed in a rigorous manner that any policy has to be effective. .... At that time, I remember, the Boys and Girls Scouts of Asmara, with immense talent, calm logic and unflagging persistence, had encouraged and promoted, more than anyone else in the country, the smooth and orderly traffic transition. Through practice and through education for the law, they had significantly impacted on the legal environment of the streets of Asmara and beyond. The result had not only changed the negative habits and practices of walking in the middle of the road throughout the country, it had influenced the philosophy and practice of all disciplines that consider or serve or care for the road safety. Now that rule is not enforced any more, and the Boys and Girls Scout are not there any more, and the road safety had deteriorated to the worst. Now you can observe that the pedestrians have become so desensitized to the roaring engines of the vehicles that they do not even pay attention, or totally ignore the loudest honks when they are walking in the middle of the road at leisure. At times it surprises me that he pedestrians, as to prolong their illegal jaywalking, they cross the road, with leisure, diagonally instead of crossing it straight. Thus, endangering their life, and causing havoc for the drivers. Likewise, drivers, particularly taxi drivers, who are required yielding the right of way to pedestrians at crosswalks constantly fail to do so and even to slow down at the crosswalks. In some countries, law enforcement officers have quota system that they must issue certain amount of tickets per month for traffic offenders. It is observed that in some countries, the entire budget of law enforcement officers is paid from proceeding of these tickets. In the Eritrean case, the revenue generated, from issuing of more tickets to more traffic offenders, could potentially help the department to pay or hire more officers. Thus reducing offenders and violators of traffic Remember in the natural law tradition that because human beings are selfish and egoistic, they would not obey laws voluntarily unless these laws have a deterrent value. Therefore, enforcing the laws, in the streets of Eritrea, are the essential components of solving the problems. Therefore, with an even clearer awareness, the Eritrean law enforcement officers should judge it their duty to help the citizens explore this serious problem in all its dimensions, and to impress upon them the need for concerted action at this critical juncture of Eritrean traffic problem. After all it is the wondrous skills of law enforcement officers’ eyes to see with unique traffic vision the offending drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. It is the law enforcement officers’ eyes that see the offenders and serve the necessary penalty to preserve the rules and commands of the traffic. In so doing, the Eritrean law enforcement officers will enthusiastically disturb the negative practices and habits of the unruly drivers and pedestrians alike. It is hoped that by enforcing the laws, they will exhilarate and invigorate, and improve our driving practices, and habits .Through this amazing process they will elicit high levels of self expression and confidence, so that we can drive and walk in the beautiful streets of Asmara, with leisure.

"We are using local materials as much as possible, cutting stone blocks by hand from the hard granite at the bottom of the ravine so we only need to bring cement and pipes to complete the dam and distribution system," ... "We are adapting to the effects of climate change, and integrate our water and sanitation activities with other on-going projects to better serve the most vulnerable communities," "The Red Cross Society of Eritrea is the prime implementer of this project, but working in an effective partnership with communities, government and the other partners under the overall umbrella of the IFRC adds value to the process," IFRC country representative Ahmed Suleman explained. "Coordinating such a partnership can have its challenges, but we have successfully brought all the elements together and now see significant results in meeting the long-term needs of vulnerable communities in Eritrea and look forward to sharing our experience, both technically and in project design, with other such projects in arid countries in Africa."
