In Eritrea, an opposition group says security forces have killed 28 people and injured dozens more during protests in the capital Asmara on Monday and Tuesday. The Eritrean government has denied the casualties. Activists say the mass protest was sparked by the government’s attempt to take control of an Islamic school. Some activists say the protests may be a tipping point in Eritrea, where a U.N. special rapporteur says citizens face arbitrary arrest and enforced disappearances, and a military conscription program that amounts to enslavement.
