He has been the president since 1993 in Eritrea. Eritrea is a one-party state which means the state is 100% democratic. In addition, it is also a unitary state with a parliamentary system. A parliament means the highest level of legislators. The parliament elects the president, who is head of state and government. The president appoints his or her own cabinet upon the parliament's approval.]]> 2016-09-16 13:54:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sarisugar2022/dcjpszq9hc43/wish/124345696 sarisugar2022 https://padlet.com/sarisugar2022/dcjpszq9hc43/wish/124349415 This is a picture of the flag.  It was created before World War II and was represented as a symbol of peace and justice. Each part of the flag demonstrates a symbol or fact. For instance The green (top) and light blue areas correspond with agriculture and the sea. The red symbolizes the blood of the martyrs of the 30 year struggle for liberation; and the 30 leaves represent the 30 years that Eritrea fought for independence.
