Discrimination and hatred amongst neighboring countries in East Africa, Ethiopia and Eritrea continue their share of political feud and the fight for dominance. Ethiopia attacked on Friday, March 15th after the decade long border dispute between both countries. The Eritrean government believes that the U.S. military assisted with the attacks, re-initiating a stir and the continuation of their past conflict. Eritrea’s foreign minster quotes Ethiopia’s government of attacks,"penetrated 18 kilometers (11 miles) inside sovereign Eritrean territory to carry out an attack on Eritrean army outposts." Killing over 70,000 people over ten years ago, both countries refuse to come to an agreement and settlement of land. Personally, I believe that the war and aggression towards one another is pointless, because Ethiopians and Eritreans are one, physically and culturally possessing the same traits. They must unite and get rid of U.S.’s involvement in their countries, who are truly the real enemies.
