Both materials were logically organized under the theme of the country’s important historical timeline, from a significant period of the superb 30 years armed struggle to the country’s independence, 1971: Liberation of Nakfa (a stronghold and symbol of the Eritrean resistance) to 1991: Liberation of Asmara, followed by Assab, which marked the liberation of the whole Eritrea.
