Who is Isaias Afwerki?
Isaias Afwerki, is the first President of the State of Eritrea, a position he has held since its independence in 1993. He led the Eritrean People's Liberation Front to victory in May 1991, thus ending the 30-year-old armed liberation struggle that the Eritrean people refer to as "Gedli". The EPLF adopted a new political party name, People's Front for Democracy and Justice to reflect its new responsibilities. The PFDJ, with Afwerki as its leader, still rules Eritrea.
