According to The New York Times, the coup attempt by several Eritrean dissatisfied soldiers failed, with government troops quelling the would-be rebellion and no one rising up in the streets. But many analysts said it was only a matter of time before President Isaias Afwerki, Eritrea’s brash and steely leader for the past 20 years, is confronted again — and most likely from within.

Analyst point to great dissatisfaction within the armed forces and if this is suppressed, it won’t be the end.

According to The Associated Press more than 100 soldiers took control of the Eritrea Ministry of Information Monday morning and read a statement on air saying the 1997 constitution would be applied.

Sources say that the daughter of Eritrea's president is among ministry officials being controlled by the soldiers. It's not yet clear if the action is a well-organized coup attempt or what he called a "kamikaze crash."
