"Beggers in Asmara" Top 5 Page for this destination Asmara Favorite Tip by georeiser

Fondest memory: The government want Eritrea to be self-contained and doesn't allow foreign aid or assistance.

I guess the situation has changed lately in Eritrea because there are numerous articles on Internet that says Asmara has no beggars. I can confirm that there are beggars in Asmara. And it is not better than Addis Ababa compared with the difference in population. The beggars are sitting along the wall in the streets, and there are especially many beggars close to the churches. Children are walking around in the streets asking for money.
