Borderline war (the Economist---)

The likelihood of conflict between Ethiopia and Eritrea is at its highest level in seven years. Eritrea is in the weaker position, politically and economically.

However, the EEBC's biggest miscalculation was to award the symbolic city of Badme—administered by Ethiopia for decades, and reportedly where the 1998-2000 conflict between the two sides first began—to Eritrea. It should have been apparent that taking away territory held long before the conflict would not be acceptable to the Ethiopian government, particularly as Ethiopia clearly had the upper hand when the cease-fire was agreed.

It would be unfair, however, to blame only the EEBC. Neither government has been a particularly amenable partner, although Eritrea has probably proved the more difficult, since over the past seven years it has expelled UN employees; confiscated UN vehicles; suspended UN helicopter flights; and imposed curfews on UN personnel. The truth is that the original agreement was flawed and never should have been structured under the "final and binding" framework without the proviso of further talks once an initial boundary had been proposed by the EEBC.
