Just as I predicted in 2006, war is again on the horizon in Ethiopia. There has been tension over military presense in the border region since the temporary cease-fire in 2003. The war in Somalia is really a proxy war against Eritrea, as 2500 Eritrean troops were in Somalia in November 2006 before the Ethiopian invasion. The border region between Eritrea and Ethiopia has been disputed territory for over four hundred years, if not four thousand! Its is Ethioia's plain of Meggido, where battles occur twice a generation. In the 1870s it was the Egyptians, in the 1880s and 1890s it was the Italians, in the 1930s it was the Italians again, in the 1950s-1970s it was secessionist militias, and in the 1980s it was an independence war, and in the 1999-2003, at all these times, the battles are sparked over petty incidents in rural areas. this bus explosion will spark war for sure, Ethiopia will tolerate this act less then would the Israelis.
