"The Eritrean government also has ambitious plans to fully develop the rich agricultural potential of some of the lowland areas. It aims to settle these lands with tens of thousands of new farmers. These will comprise ex-fighters, returning refugees, and highland peasants who have been forced out of their land through the lack of viability of their small impoverished holdings."
"During this development, many nomads (mainly Muslim) will be deprived of their livelihood. Most of the settlers will be Christian. The government will then have comprehensively altered the demographic map of the country."
