🇸🇸 South Sudan
People from South Sudan in Eritrea meet here, city by city. Each community is a neighbourhood, not a crowd, so if yours is missing, start it.
According to the United Nations, 1,170 people from South Sudan live in Eritrea.
In total, 3,170,000 people from South Sudan live abroad, and about 1% of them live in Eritrea.
However, the figure counts migrants, not their children born here. The real community is therefore larger.
No community for people from South Sudan exists in Eritrea on Compatri yet. However, one first member is enough to open one in their city.
As soon as a community starts, its meetups show up on the events page, with the date, the venue and the number of attendees.
Compatri follows cities such as Asmara, and each one can host its community.
There, the largest diasporas also come from Somalia, the DR Congo, and Uganda, according to the UN. Each one has its own page on Compatri, with its cities and meetups.
Compatri brings diasporas together where they live. First, you choose the community of your city. Then you discover what its members organise: meals, parties, afterworks or mutual aid. Finally, you message compatriots who share your interests.
You can also host your own meetup: a meal, an outing or a party. It then appears to members of your city, and you follow sign-ups from your account.
Your exact location never appears: other members only see an approximate area. In addition, joining a community and attending events costs nothing.
Every July 9, the national day brings the South Sudan diaspora together. Locally too, communities organise concerts, meals and gatherings.
According to the UN, about 1,170 people from South Sudan live in Eritrea. Their children born here do not count in this figure.
Communities start where members sign up. If your city is still missing, suggest it: a community often begins with a handful of neighbours.
Join the community of your city on Compatri, then attend the meetups its members organise. You can also host your own event.
According to the UN, the largest ones come from Somalia, the DR Congo, and Uganda.
South Sudan Independence Day falls on July 9. In Eritrea too, the diaspora celebrates it every year.
No. Joining your community, discovering nearby members and attending events stays free. The Starter and Advanced plans only add features to go further.
Elsewhere, the South Sudan diaspora also lives in Sudan, Uganda, and Ethiopia. Each country has its own page, with its cities and meetups.
