international: |
Eritrea and Ethiopia agreed to abide by 2002
Ethiopia-Eritrea Border Commission's (EEBC) delimitation decision, but
demarcation has been delayed, despite intense international
intervention, by Ethiopian insistence that the decision ignored "human
geography," made technical errors in the delimitation, and incorrectly
awarded Badme, the focus of the 1998-2000 war, and other areas to
Eritrea and Eritrea's insistence on not deviating from the
commission's decision; UN Peacekeeping Mission to Ethiopia and Eritrea
(UNMEE) continues to monitor a 25km-wide Temporary Security Zone in
Eritrea until the demarcation; Sudan accuses Eritrea of supporting
Sudanese rebel groups; Eritrea protests Yemeni fishing around the
Hanish Islands awarded to Eritrea by the ICJ in 1999 |
