Black People : Most Independent Black People on the Planet?

Eritrean life in pictures

It is rare to get access to Eritrea, which is considered one of the world's most repressive and secretive states. A BBC team were recently allowed to visit to cover a story about healthcare and the photos from their trip give a glimpse of what life is like there:

Despite the thousands of young Eritreans who flee the country each month, the capital city, Asmara, was buzzing with life. Here young Asmarinos enjoy their evening after drinking coffee in the centre of the city.

Eritrea has been criticised for its levels of freedom of expression. There is no privately owned domestic media. Rights groups say that government journalists arrested in 2009 and 2011 are still imprisoned in solitary confinement without any prospect of a trial. But the ruling party's Yemane Ghebreab said the government-owned media was able to give a "forum for different opinions".

Actually, Black Cubans are in the same shape as Blacks in America, Boboshante, at least most of those that posted to this Thread feel that way.

The OP asked which black people were independent and for me until the recent relaxation the Cubans were pretty isolated.

Correct, which black people were independent on the planet. Black Cubans are isolated, but not independent.
