ADDIS ABABA - Ethiopia's military has awarded Prime Minister Meles Zenawi
and several high-ranking army officers for their leadership in the 1998-2000
war with neighbour Eritrea, state media said.
Meles was cited for "his meticulous leadership in foiling anti-peace moves
of the Eritrean regime, terrorists and other anti-peace elements," the
Ethiopian News Agency (ENA) said.
Ethiopia is at loggerheads with neighbouring Eritrea over the precise
delimitation of its border and has routinely accused Asmara of backing
secessionist groups inside its territory.
The 1998-2000 Ethiopia-Eritrea war claimed 80,000 lives on both sides.
