While the decision has been accepted by Eritrea, and although the entire
process was guaranteed by the UN and the OAU/AU and witnessed by the US,
EU, Algeria, and Nigeria, Ethiopia has completely failed to shoulder its
legal obligations and responsibility for demarcating the border. Instead of
implementing the “final and binding” internationally recognized decision,
Ethiopia has resorted to making regular incursions into and frequent
attacks against Eritrea. Furthermore, it has persistently called for the
forceful overthrow of the Eritrea government and, through belligerent,
threatening statements via government-owned media outlets, proclaimed its
intentions to carry out “military action to oust the regime in Eritrea.”
Just this year, Ethiopia’s Prime Minister, Hailemariam Desalegn, said
Ethiopia was ready to take “proportionate military action against Eritrea”
for Eritrea’s alleged “continuous acts of provocation and destabilisation
of Ethiopia.”
