CLOSE TO WAR AGAIN!
Text of a report by New African Magazine: October 2004 edition (no. 433)
Eritrea and Ethiopia fought a devastating border war from 1998 to 2000 that killed over 75, 000 people on both sides. The two countries are close to war again, according to reliable sources in both countries. Baffour Ankomah reports. As the world’s attention has been focused on Iraq, tension has gradually mounted to boiling point in Ethiopia and Eritrea, and there are increasing fears that they may soon go to war –again- if the world does not stop them. This was the alarming consensus reached by participants at a conference on the Horn of Africa in the small Southern Swedish city of Lund from 27-29 August. Organised by the Lund-based Somalia International Rehabilitation Centre (SIRC), respected academics from Eritrea and Ethiopia and their ambassadors in Sweden were invited to speak. What they had to say was not music to the ears. In short, both countries are fully prepared for war and have, in fact, armed themselves to the teeth over the last two years for just such an eventuality. “The international community, particularly the guarantors [of the Ethiopia-Eritrea peace agreement signed in the Algerian capital, Algiers, in 2002] should not allow another war to erupt between the two countries,” pleaded Dr Zemenfes Tsighe of the University of Asmara, Eritrea, who spoke on the subject, Eritrea and Ethiopia after the Algiers Agreement. Dr. Tsighe continued: “Neither should the international community expect that the problem will go away by itself with time. Indeed, the Ethiopian Prime Minister [Meles Zenawi] has recently warned of renewed war. The peoples of Eritrea and Ethiopia have suffered not only loss of life and property in the war, but also time and resources, and a similar loss should not be allowed.” Reliable sources say the two countries have moved huge military resources to the common border over the last several months, and still continue to do so at night. Military analysts are predicting that if war erupts again, Ethiopia many not want to seize the Eritrean capital, Asmara, as it tried to do in the last war, but make a quick dash for Eritrea’s strategic Red Sea port of Assab in order to enhance its position at the negotiation table. The situation is grave enough, at least if the participants from both countries who spoke at the conference are to be believed.....
