BEIJING, May 26 -- The youngest country on the African Continent is
celebrating its National Pavilion Day on Tuesday. The State of Eritrea was
established in 1993. It is famous for its one-hump camel, straw art, and
bright ethnic costumes.
To get the party started, festivities began with a performance by the
country's National Song and Dance Troupe.
On stage at the African Joint Pavilion, the Sibolite Troupe is delivering a
sizzling performance that represents the nine ethnic groups in the country.
But this is not the group's first appearance at a World Expo. The troupe
performed at the 2000 Hanover Expo and the Aichi Expo in 2005.
Located inside the African Joint Pavilion, the Eritrea section displays the
wonderful life people share in the Greater Asmara Area, especially regarding
the balance between humanity and nature.
