No One In The World Cares About The Ethiopian - Eritrean Conflict

Eritrea Is An Easy Target For Ethiopia -- Simon Tisdall, The Guardian

Britain said it was "deeply concerned" but declined to censure Addis Ababa. The US piously urged "restraint". Eritrea's demand that the UN security council punish Ethiopia has been met by deafening silence.

Ethiopia says military assault targeted 'subversive groups' that had carried out attacks on its territory

Ethiopian Army Attacks Eritrean Military Post In Retaliation For Rebel Violence -- Christian Science Monitor

Ethiopia's attack on an Eritrean-based rebel camp is the latest sign of deteriorating relations with Eritrea. Ethiopia and Eritrea fought a two-year war in 1998 that killed some 70,000 people.

Ethiopia's military launched an attack against "terrorist camps" inside Eritrea today in one of the most serious incidents since conflict between the two neighbors ended 12 years ago.

The morning raid was in areas where the "Eritrean government trained, armed, and deployed hit-and-run terrorist and subversive groups," said government spokesman Shimeles Kemal.

Horn Of Africa Damages Ruling Due -- BBC

An international tribunal is to decide what compensation Ethiopia and Eritrea should pay each other for damages inflicted in the 1998-2000 border war.

Monday's decision is the final element in the peace deal that ended the war, which cost at least 100,000 lives.

The Eritrea-Ethiopia Claims Commission at The Hague will provide the two nations with the judgement that lawyers have been working on since March 2001.

Exactly what it says will be made public in a few days time.

My Comment: You would think that after years of conflict and war, these two destitute nations would come to some form of accommodation.

But no .... the bitterness and hatred still exists, and war is always on the horizon.
