Families of political prisoners detained in Eritrea more than two decades ago are demanding clarity after their children, now adults, grew up without knowing the fate of their parents. Authorities have never confirmed whether the detainees remain alive or provide any details about their whereabouts, leaving descendants to question whether they’ll ever learn the truth. The unresolved disappearances have deepened generational trauma, with survivors pushing for accountability amid international scrutiny over the country’s human rights record. A new wave of activism among the children of the missing is raising pressure for transparency, though officials continue to withhold information.
The children of key politicians jailed 25 years ago without a trace in Eritrea want answers.
