Migration trends
Eritrea is overwhelmingly a country people leave. Its diaspora has reached about 912.8K and has nearly doubled — up 91% over the past decade, one of the sharpest rises anywhere. Most stay close to home, in Sudan (384.1K) and Ethiopia, with a notable community in Sweden. Almost no one moves the other way: just 10.7K of Eritrea's residents were born abroad.
