There is no constitution in

There is no construction either
There is no drinking water
There are no working ports
Importing cars is illegal
#EritreaChokedAt30
There is no private radio station in Eritrea.
There is no locally-owned private TV station in the country.
There is no ATM.
People need to apply to the local government to get a sim card.
People can't withdraw above $330 in a month at banks.
