In 1991 the EPLF defeated the Ethiopian army in Eritrea and together with
the army of the TPLF removed from power the military regime that ruled
Ethiopia for more than 17 years.
In a gesture of good will and for easing the transfer of power in Ethiopia,
Eritrea deferred its de facto independence for two years and provided the
ports of Assab and Massaua as free ports for Ethiopian goods. Between then
and 1997, the two governments signed a number of agreements harmonizing
their policies in many fields.
A new era was ushered in the region and the leaders of Eritrea and Ethiopia
were acknowledged as the new leaders in Africa. Unfortunately, the
friendship and hope that ignited the Horn was extinguished in 1998 when the
regime in Ethiopia invaded Badme, a sovereign Eritrean territory, and
unleashed war along the whole Eritrea-Ethiopia boarder.
The last five years, since the regime formally declared war on Eritrea, the
Eritrean people and its leadership have been fully puzzled by the dichotomy
of the political identity of the regime in Ethiopia. The war and the ensuing
search for peace demonstrate the absence of political integrity of the
policy of the regime toward Eritrea and its Government, a policy
characterized by endless cycles of deception, lies, denials and
inconsistencies. For the regime in Ethiopia, a statement is true and false
all at the same time. Currently the EEBC, the UN and the Security Council in
particular and the International Community in general are experiencing the
same absence of political integrity. It claims to accept the boarder
delimitation and yet it rejects its demarcation. It appeals to the
International Community to enforce Eritrea to accept the finding of the EEBC
as final and binding when the boarder delimitation was made public and
declares the same findings as null and void when boarder demarcation was
scheduled to start. It praises the Commission for its work in delimiting the
boarder and condemns the same Commission for siding with Eritrea when
applying the results of the findings......
