Activists have posted a memo allegedly by the Government of Eritrea asking men to marry at least two wives due to acute shortage of men occasioned by casualties during the civil war with Ethiopia.

In the statement written in Arabic assures of government support to the polygamous marriages.

The activists translate it thus, "Based on the law of God in polygamy, and given the circumstances in which the country is experiencing in terms of men shortage, the Eritrean department of Religious Affairs has decided on the following .”

eyha there are plenty guys here, make them come carry them.

Heheehe

I love that the female population in the world is higher compared to male. Many single ladies and single mothers are rampant in the world even in Nigeria. God bless Eritrean govt

why not import men from China or Somalia to marry the women if so?

Somalia looks like it might have an abundance of males, not sure however.

Western countries usually just encourage immigration whenever there's a need to be filled which immigration can help with.

Cool

Those men should protest. What rubbish. How can you force a man to marry. Are there no feminists in Eritrea? Or they are just like their colleagues in other parts of the world, hypocrites?

Feminism is a total rubbish. They have shortage of men. who will marry all the women without husband. Let it be enforced as long as govt makes life easy for them

Seems polygamy is currently illegal in Eritrea, so this might be a push by some interest groups, to change the law.

As with other horners, polygamy is not really entrenched with these Caucasoid groups in Africa like it is with blacks.

And obviously, if the govt has to force the men to be polygamous, then that means they are not naturally inclined to such.
