A country without ATMs, internet and passports

Eritrea is a state in eastern Africa, on the Red Sea coast.It borders Sudan to the northwest, Ethiopia to the south and Djibouti to the southeast. Eritrea is usually described as one of the most repressive states in Africa, a place where people have no freedom. This is not so strange as it is a one-party state ruled by President Isaiah Afereverki. Eritrea officially gained its independence from Ethiopia in 1993.
The government abolished opposing parties and local private media, shut down critics (some of whom have not been heard in years), and imposed a military obligation on young people.
It is for these reasons that most residents have decided to seek happiness outside the country's borders. Unfortunately, many died trying to cross the Sahara and the Mediterranean Sea to reach Europe.
The only telephone network is EriTel and it is state owned. The service offered is very poor and strictly controlled. All who want to get their own card must turn to the state government directly.
People rarely use the Internet over a Wi-Fi connection, but it is also very slow and weak. To use social networks, they must include a private virtual network if they want to bypass government-imposed censorship.
The government has limited the amount of money people can withdraw from their account. Even if they have millions, they can raise up to $ 330 a month. All cash transactions are bank related, as there is no ATM in the country.
If you want to buy a new car, you need to withdraw a modest amount of money from your account each month so that you can collect the amount you need in a timely manner.
The only situation that is considered extraordinary is the approval to raise money for a wedding. In that case, the bank will write a plea that it needs to approve in order to raise a larger sum of money for the wedding.
The state has only one brewery that opened in 1993 and still has no competition. Only one beer can be drunk, and if one wants more, has to bring one of his friends.
Functional passport is the fulfillment of dreams by young people in this country. They desperately want to leave, but it's very difficult and not everyone succeeds. Citizens receive proper and valid passports only after serving a military service. They also need a letter of recommendation, and that process can take years.
Getting out of the country also requires a visa that is difficult to obtain, as the state fears that people will not return to Eritrea.
Because of this, the rate of illegal emigration from the state is very high and young people are constantly looking for ways to leave their homeland.
