A history of war and border disputes, interrupted by peace and security cooperation
Eritrea hacia Etiopía
-20Eritrea fought Ethiopia in the 1998–2000 border war and maintained a hostile relationship for years. In 2018, Eritrea’s government signed a peace declaration with Ethiopia and reopened cross-border links. Eritrean forces later fought alongside Ethiopian government forces in the Tigray conflict, while subsequent security tensions have again strained ties.
Etiopía hacia Eritrea
-15Ethiopia fought Eritrea in the 1998–2000 border war and signed the 2000 Algiers Agreement to end it. In 2018, Ethiopia’s government declared peace with Eritrea and restored transport and communications links. Ethiopian government forces later cooperated militarily with Eritrean forces in the Tigray conflict; Ethiopia’s later pursuit of sea access has heightened tensions.
Relación general
-15The relationship has been shaped by a major border war and unresolved security concerns, but also by the 2018 peace declaration, renewed cross-border links, and later military cooperation in Tigray. These periods of cooperation have not removed the underlying disputes, and tensions have resurfaced.
