Ethiopia, Eritrea can't agree on border
THE HAGUE, Netherlands - An international commission trying to settle a boundary dispute between Ethiopia and Eritrea ended its work Friday after the rival neighbors failed to agree on a new border in a region beset by escalating tensions.
On Friday, the commission issued a statement citing a decision made a year ago that if the neighbors failed to agree, the 2002 border it set "continues as the only valid legal description of the boundary" and said the commission's mandate "can then be regarded as fulfilled."
Comment: Ethiopia must not accept this decision just for the following reasons:
A) Eritrea has violated the Algiers agreement by occupying the demilitarized zone, which makes the agreement invalid.
B) The Ferenj can't make a border decision for Ethiopia based on the Italian colonialist's greed to grab and occupy our territory. Ethiopia with a population of about 80, 000, 000 must have an access to the sea, which is hers.
C) Ethiopia's border lies along the Red Sea coast.
If we Ethiopians continue to accept decisions made in Europe and Washington and allow them to give away our lands, then the country that we know as Ethiopia which lies along the Read Sea coast will be erased from the map of the earth in our lifetime.
Meles and his party gave away Eritrea and now kinijit leaders are endorsing separatist rebels in Ogaden once again to cede a big chunk of our territory!!
