The horn of Africa has seen recurring turbulent events again and again. Precious time wasted as is the demise of many innocent lives.
The lost opportunities can not be recouping once it is gone. Neighboring countries went to unwanted war that could have been resolved in a civilized manner sitting in a round table. Still the horn of Africa is one of the most unstable regions, due to the standoff between Ethiopia and Eritrea, Sudan and South Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia, Eritrea and Djibouti.
Unfortunately, the tragic events are designed for purposes that do not benefit the citizens of the region. It is designed and is left to be implemented by countries of the region to those who are strangers to the countries who eventually will benefit in a long term through means of divide and rule. Youth of the region are deprived from being thinkers and academicians, and are carrying cannons and bullets.
The war between neighboring countries Eritrea and Ethiopia has come to closure when the "EEBC" Eritrea Ethiopia Border Commission ruled the boundary that divides the two countries. Unfortunately, under the late Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, Ethiopia did not comply and fulfill its obligation and is still sitting in a sovereign land of Eritrea. Eritrea accepted the ruling and has acknowledged since then that will be implemented fully.
Now that Meles Zenawi dies there is an ample opportunity for the new leadership in Ethiopia to take this opportunity to bring peace and harmony to the whole region. Eritrea on its part has never been the enemy of the Ethiopian people and understandably is to the benefit of the region to start a new chapter.
Once the two neighboring nations are able to resolve once and for all the mistrust, the domino affect will spiral to the region to earn lasting peace. The Djibouti Eritrea issue is emanated from the designers of the Ethiopia vs Eritrea case.
The Somali issue was getting their house in order before the invasion of Ethiopia. The mistrust and interference among Somalis prevented them to come together to solve their own problem by their own.
The Sudan, South Sudan case may not differ to the other conflicts in the region. It requires an honest broker to bring the case to close. Although the Sudanese vs South Sudan have had rocky and bumpy past, things that brings them together is definitely more than divided them. They can bring peace and harmony to their well being of their citizens and with that to the whole region. The discussions that already started between the two countries leaders hopefully will go beyond temporary benefits to garner them lasting peace.
Hopefully, the new administration of Ethiopia will come with positive attitude to clear the air in the region; will pull out their troops from Eritrean sovereign land.
With this the intended peace will flourish to all countries of the region, and will focus on trade exchange, business partnering and united front to protect all.

The Eritrean and Ethiopian people are peace loving people.Howevver the problem is the war and border issues it didn’t start between the Eritrean and the Ethiopian it was created by outside forces for their own selfish interests. However if Eritrea and Ethiopia have good leaders to say to the outside forces our interest comes first so go to hell. Furthermore it was not the case since one was a weak minority government and selfish. The minority government knows they can’t survive in power without the help of outside forces (U.S.A) only to become a yes man (servant) and they use Meles Zanawi for all of their dirty work. If we do give peace a chance between Eritrea-Ethiopia with transparent diplomacy and with no interference from outside forces imagine what will happen in every avenue in those two great countries. Who will be the winners? I leave the answer to the people of Eritrea and Ethiopia.

Well that is the truth. but so far, there is no any attempt of wish or will forwared from any peace-loving Ethioian, since the moment we heard Meles that is gone for good, which is approximately 3 weeks to be precise. I personally feel, that the ones most affected, are Tigrayans. unless they deny the fact .so there should be courageous step from that side, so the the sense of peace will be in place atleast.But above all and beyound, the old version and stereotype way of thinking by the Amhara elites, should come to a state of total full stop. No doubt we are brotherly people who share common culture but the Fact remains that Eritrea had been a sovereign state from the Genesis of the horn region, and that is the mentality that should be practised by all those who don't convince their concience about Eritrea's internal privacy and sovereignty.And the last point of my comment is , of course We Eritreans, have our own internal issue to be solved and that should not guarantee Ethipians/ Woyanes to do our own business as what is taking place in Addis Ababa, Awasa, and debrezeit. We are the owners and responsible citizens of our own issues,their intimdation and interfering should stop.
