The general situation in Eritrea deteriorated further. Political repression and human rights violations continued unabated. Militarisation of the society persisted and unlimited national service led to a mass exodus of young people. The humanitarian situation remained worrying and the scarcity of basic consumer goods increased. The economy was under the firm grip of the ruling party. There was no solution to the conflict with Ethiopia, while US-Eritrean relations reached an historic low, with the US administration threatening to put Eritrea on its list of state sponsors of terrorism because of its support for the Islamic opposition in Somalia.
