what caused the war between eritrea and ethiopia
Eritrean–Ethiopian War According to a ruling by an international commission in The Hague, Eritrea broke international law and triggered the war by invading Ethiopia.[27] At the end of the war, Ethiopia held all of the disputed territory and had advanced into Eritrea.[28] After the war ended, the Eritreaâ€“Ethiopia Boundary Commission, a body founded by the UN, established that Badme, the disputed territory at the heart of the conflict, belongs to Eritrea.[29] As of 2018[update], Ethiopia still occupies the territory near Badme, including the town of Badme. On 5 June 2018, the ruling coalition of Ethiopia, headed by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, agreed to fully implement the peace treaty signed with Eritrea in 2000,[30] with peace declared by both parties in July 2018.[5]
