| Description: | The war between Eritrea & Ethiopia which began in May 1998 took the world by surprise. During the war both sides have mobilised huge forces along their common border and have spent several hundred million dollars on military equipment. Outside observers have found it difficult to evaluate the highly polarised official statements and proclamations issued by the two governments in the conflict. This book aims at presenting important contextual aspects in order to explain the growing discord between the two formerly friendly governments of Eritrea and Ethiopia. It looks at the historical relations between the two countries since the late 19th century, the history of border issues from local perspectives, adn the complicated relations between the former liberation fronts - the EPLF and the TPLF - who subsequently have formed the governments of the two countries. The authors do not seek to identify and denounce a single guilty aggressor. In also examining the human rights aspects of the conflict, they express pessimism about prospects for a speedy normalisation of relations. Tekeste Negash is Associate Professor in Modern History at Dalerna University College, Sweden; Kjetil Tronvoll is Research Fellow & Horn of Africa Programme Director at the Norwegian Institute of Human Rights, University of Oslo. |
