Analysis Summary:

The article appears mostly accurate based on the provided sources. The claim about Isaias Afwerki not holding elections is supported. The article exhibits a moderate bias due to the negative framing and focus on dashed hopes, although this framing is supported by the general sentiment in the provided sources.

Detailed Analysis:

• Claim:** Isaias Afwerki promised elections when he came to power in 1991 but these have still not been held.
  • Verification Source #1, #2: These sources indirectly support this claim by mentioning "hopes were dashed as Eritrea became a repressive one-party state," implying a lack of democratic progress.
  • Internal Knowledge:* It is widely known and documented that Eritrea has not held national elections since its independence. However, without a direct statement in the provided sources, this is based on internal knowledge.

Supporting Evidence/Contradictions:

• Verification Source #1, #2: Both sources from BBC mention "hopes were dashed" in the context of Eritrea's political development, supporting the article's overall theme.
• Verification Source #3: Supports the general theme of dashed hopes in the context of political conflicts.
• Verification Source #4: Focuses on the Ethiopia-Eritrea peace process and doesn't directly address the claim about elections, but uses the phrase "hopes dashed".
• Verification Source #5: Mentions "hopes" being dashed due to a coup and war, but in a different context (Christian persecution).
• Internal Knowledge:* The lack of elections in Eritrea is a well-documented fact, although not explicitly stated in the provided sources.
