Abstract
Eritrea is one of the Arab countries that has suffered from many different crises at all levels, including structural, political, social, economic, and even regional and international ones. All of these crises have contributed to the instability of a contemporary Arab country like Eritrea. Economic and social instability has led to a state of political instability, making Eritrea a country of conflict and the antagonism of external parties, regardless of their size. The research assumes that the various crises that Eritrea has experienced, particularly in the economic, social, and cultural spheres, as well as governance crises, particularly political crises, have prevented political stability in Eritrea since 1993. Several approaches were employed in this research, including quantitative approaches to cover all aspects of the research. The historical approach was also used to trace Eritrea's history before independence in 1993. Furthermore, the analytical and descriptive approach was used to monitor, analyze, and interpret Eritrean geography, the country's economic situation, and its most prominent crises. Finally, the prospective approach was used to formulate future assumptions about the future of state-building in Eritrea.
