 Jenni speaks to the author of a new book about the long war of independence in Eritrea
The war of independence in Eritrea involved an unusually high proportion of women soldiers.
Sporting trademark shorts and afros, these women fought alongside the men. But what was life like for these women once they rejoined civil society?
Jenni hears from Meriem Mahamed Omer, an ex-fighter who discusses her experiences during and after the war.
