Explanation

Eritrea gained independence from Ethiopia in 1993 after a 30-year armed struggle, making it one of Africa's newest nations. However, South Africa's transition from apartheid to majority rule in 1994 could also be considered in this context depending on how 'independence' is defined. The question has some ambiguity but Eritrea is generally cited in quiz contexts.
