The countries and the region stand to be potentially significant players in the war on terrorism, in forms and degrees, and with outcomes, that remain uncertain. In addition, both countries, and the Horn of Africa as a whole, are in the process of being affected by changes in the international circumstances of the post-September-11 world. How Eritrean-Ethiopian relations develop in the context of a newly demarcated border remains in the realm of conjecture, as do the longterm implications of the war and its aftermath on the domestic politics of both countries. How satisfactorily the border-demarcation process becomes, in technical and political terms, is yet to be determined. Even now, however, the longterm meaning and outcomes of the conflict are still in the process of unfolding. Particularly valuable are the many appendices presenting the most important diplomatic documents addressing the struggle.īrothers at War is an interim account because it was published in mid-2000, before the ink was dry on the U.N.-sponsored border-demarcation agreement. It carefully sorts out the interests and historical background factors that served to cause and inflame the conflict, doing so in a way that allows the reader to sort out for himself or herself the merits of the arguments between the two sides. It does not store any personal data.Brothers at War is a highly useful interim account of the course and causes of the Eritrean-Ethiopian conflict, which has proven so costly in human, economic, and political terms to the well-being of the Horn of Africa, a region that has suffered egregious impoverishment and destitution, even by sub-Saharan African standards.
