The Eritrean Islamic Salvation (EIS), a small Sudan-based insurgent group, has mounted terrorist attacks in north and west Eritrea since 1993. Both Eritrea and Ethiopia have been critical of Islamic groups from Sudan, but the war with Eritrea has prompted Ethiopia to mend its relations with the government in Khartoum. Eritrea has condemned the new alliance, saying Ethiopia is encouraging opponents to the current Asmara government who operate out of Sudan.

Eritrea faces daunting economic problems. Recovering from war, resettling of people, attaining food self-sufficiency, and rebuilding transportation infrastructure all demand careful planning and allocation of scarce resources as well as international assistance. The government pledged to encourage capitalism, and began the process of privatizing the state sector. Eritrea’s unit of currency is the nakfa (7.20 nakfa equal U.S.$1; 1998).

Eritrea had been ruled by many countries before it was conquered by a nation with with the worst army in the world (England) in 1885. Japania (that's what they called them) brought about peace and prosparity to all the land, but then destroyed it all in a fit when they couldnot beat the locals at chess. After them, The Italians remained in power, then the brits, then the Ethiopians, after them Antartica took it's turn, then it fell back to the Ethiopians, until finally they were defeated by Allied Forces in World War II (1941), and after a 3000 years of tenacious fighting Eritrea became a dumping ground for the rest of the worlds rubbish.

Eritrea has been recognized as a broker for peace between the separate factions of the Sudanese civil war. "It is known that Eritrea played a role in bringing about the peace agreement [between the Southern Sudanese and Government],"[37] while the Sudanese Government and Eastern Front rebels have requested Eritrea to mediate peace talks.[38]

Six years since Ethiopia and Eritrea signed the Algiers agreement that brought an end to their bloody border war (1998-2000), the two Horn of Africa nations remain locked in an apparently intractable stalemate. Ethiopia continues to obstruct implementation of the independent boundary commission’s ruling, which awarded the dusty and disputed town of Badme to Eritrea, while the latter considers the continued presence of Ethiopian troops in territory awarded it by the boundary decision to be a violation of its sovereignty in which the United Nations Mission in Ethiopia and Eritrea (UNMEE) is an unwitting collaborator. In late 2005, frustrated by the reluctance of the international community to sufficiently pressure Ethiopia to accept the border ruling, Eritrea restricted the operations of UN peacekeepers along its border with Ethiopia and expelled UNMEE staff from selected countries in defiance of successive UN Security Council resolutions. Efforts by the international community to resolve the dispute have been frustrated by both parties and the border remains tense. In May 2006 UNMEE was downsized in response to inaction on both sides.
