Eritrea: Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commissions
built 627 days ago
Perhaps the conflict with the deepest impact on independent Eritrea has been the renewed hostility with Ethiopia. In 1998, a border war with Ethiopia over the town of Badme occurred. The Eritrean-Ethiopian War ended in 2000 with a negotiated agreement known as the Algiers Agreement, which assigned an independent, UN-associated boundary commission known as the Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission (EEBC), whose task was to clearly identify the border between the two countries and issue a final and binding ruling. Along with the agreement the UN established a Temporary Security Zone consisting of a 25 kilometre demilitarized buffer zone within Eritrea running along the length of the disputed border between the two states and patrolled by UN troops in the mission named UNMEE. Ethiopia was to withdraw to positions held before the outbreak of hostilities in May of 1998 there among Badme. The peace agreement would be completed with the implementation of the Border Commission's ruling... ending the task of the peacekeeping mission of UNMEE.

"On the eye of the one-year anniversary of the Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission’s decision on the boundary between Ethiopia and Eritrea, the fate of Irobland remains unsettled. Almost one year after the ill-fated decision which gave over one-third of Irobland from northern and western parts to Eritrea, the people of Irob have been witnesses to legal and political wrangling between the two countries over Badme, landmines, troop buildups and force commanders."
