| Eritrean Airlines | Eritrean Airlines is an airline based in Asmara in Eritrea. It is wholly owned by the Government of Eritrea and operates services to Europe and Africa, with plans to expand its fleet and network. Its main base is Asmara International Airport (ASM). (references) | ||
| Eritrean Liberation Front | The Eritrean Liberation Front was the main secessionist movement in Eritrea which sought Eritrea's independence from Ethiopia during the 1960s and 1970s. It was founded in the early 1960s and soon came into violent conflict with the government, using guerrilla war tactics to continue the struggle. Though the movement posed great problems for the Ethiopian government, it failed to achieve independence for Eritrea. In the 1970s, a group of its members split the movement and formed the Eritrean People's Liberation Front, a more left-wing rebel movement. By the 1980s, the People's Liberation Front had replaced the original Eritrean Liberation Front as the main rebel group. When Eritrea did gain independence in the early 1990s, the People's Liberation Front changed into the People' Front for Democracy and Justice with the addition of former ELF members while the balance became a small terrorist group in the nether reaches of the Sudan.

| Eritrean Orthodox Tewahdo Church | The Eritrean Orthodox Tewahdo Church is one of the Oriental Orthodox churches. It was formerly a part of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, its autocephaly being reluctantly recognized by the Ethiopian Patriarchate after Eritrea gained its independence in the 1993. The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahido Church had been granted autocephaly by the Coptic pope in 1950, but had no say in the autocephaly of its integral Eritrean diocese due to the appeal of the Eritrean government to the Coptic Orthodox Patriarchate for Eritrean Orthodox autocephaly. Tensions were - and in some cases remain - high between the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahido Church on the one side and the Coptic Orthodox and Eritrean Orthodox Tewahdo Churches on the other. Nonetheless, the three Churches remain in full communion with one another and with the other Churches of the Oriental Orthodox communion. (references) | ||
| Eritrean People's Liberation Front | The Eritrean People's Liberation Front (EPLF) was an armed organization that fought for the independence of Eritrea from Ethiopia. It emerged in 1970 as an intellectual left-wing group that split from the Eritrean Liberation Front (ELF). (references) | ||
| Eritrean Railway | The Eritrean Railway is the only railway system in the African nation of Eritrea (on the Red Sea coast between Sudan and Ethiopia, and independent from the latter in 1993). (references) | ||
