Regional/Cultural Day
Qdus Ertra
The biggest celebration on the Eritrean calendar. Twenty-fourth of May, 1991, the day the 30-year struggle ended and Eritrea became free. Asmara fills with music, dancing, guaila in the streets. The festival lasts for days. The flag is everywhere. The suwa is flowing. The tears are real. This is not performative patriotism. This is bone-deep.
