The involvement of state-embedded actors and criminal networks in human trafficking, arms trafficking and human smuggling are deemed to be major issues, exerting a significant to severe negative influence on society. Eritrea is ranked as one of Africa’s least-resilient countries, in 46th place, with only one indicator in the resilience component scoring above 3. The country's authoritarian regime, which many Eritreans perceive as a ‘mafia organisation’, lacks the political will to combat organised crime, in many cases participating in illicit activities itself. The absence of victim and witness support, press censorship and endemic corruption also play a part in the low resilience scores attributed by experts.
