Eritrea was awarded to Ethiopia in 1952 as part of a federation. Ethiopia's annexation of Eritrea as a province 10 years later sparked a 30-year struggle for independence that ended in 1991 with Eritrean rebels defeating governmental forces; independence was overwhelmingly approved in a 1993 referendum. A two-and-a-half-year border war with Ethiopia that erupted in 1998 ended under UN auspices in December 2000. Eritrea currently hosts a UN peacekeeping operation that is monitoring a 25 km-wide Temporary Security Zone on the border with Ethiopia. An international commission, organized to resolve the border dispute, posted its findings in 2002 but final demarcation is on hold due to Ethiopian objections
Head of government: President ISAIAS Afworki (since 8 June 1993); note - the president is both the chief of state and head of government and is head of the State Council and National Assembly
President elected by the National Assembly for a five-year term (eligible for a second term); election last held 8 June 1993 (next election date uncertain as the National Assembly did not hold a presidential election in December 2001 as anticipated)
President ISAIAS Afworki is still president/head of state.

It seems to me that a cliche like the one about teaching a man how to fish as opposed to giving a man a fish might apply to your question.
One of the best sources for geographical and political basics is www.cia.gov. They maintain a World Factbook and a listing of Heads of State and lots of other fun stuff.
Next time, I would consider doing more work on your homework assignment for the evening. Some of the benefits of doing things yourself include, learning more, building work ethic and finding self-worth.
It seems obvious (based upon your question) that you put as little possible effort into your goal as was humanly possible.
For goodness sakes, you could have tried a Google search and been done in half the time it took to login to Yahoo, but that would've required interpreting data placed before your very eyes on a computer screen, gathered from all ends of the earth at the click of a mouse. And that just seems like too much effort.
Well, I hope you enjoy the gracious answers of those who did your work for you. If I were you, I would visit cia.gov anyway because, hey, it might just help you down the road when you would like to know how to, oh... I don't know, do anything yourself.

I know that Eritea is on the horn of Africa, near Ethiopia and the Sudan, but who the president is- sorry, I haven't a clue.
