TitleBrothers at War? Reflections on an Internecine Conflict Between Ethiopia and Eritrea
URLhttp://www.accord.org.za/publications/...
DescriptionThis paper begins with a review of the origins of the Ethiopia and Eritrea conflict which is followed by an analysis of both foreign and African endeavors of trying to manage and resolve it. This paper posits that "fratricidal conflicts like the one under review here are, indeed, most intractable; that a lasting solution to this conflict hinges on the amicable resolution of the central issue . a clear demarcation of disputed boundaries between the two countries; that the political conflict in the Horn of Africa invariably retards economic development; and, lastly, that new thinking will for some foreseeable future be hobbled as long as the regional powers are either embroiled in, or insensitive to, such raging conflicts."
