Please answer the following question: How safe is Eritrea for tourists coming from South Korea?
Eritrea's safety for tourists, including those from South Korea, is a concern. The Global Peace Index ranks Eritrea 134th out of 160 countries, significantly lower than South Korea, which is ranked 45th.
