The border war that was waged between Ethiopia and Eritrea started in 1998 and ended in 2000. The Eritrea Ethiopian Border Commission in the Hague has given its ruling over a decade ago

Yemane said that the government of Eritrea faces “difficult situations and big challenges and aggression on Eritrea, particularly from big powers like The USA.”

Asked if his government has opposition, Yemane dismissed the presence of any opposition stating, “there are those who call themselves opposition but they are basically mercenaries, and are part of the external aggression on Eritrea.”

The interview was conducted in the London studios of RT and was conducted by Hassen Zeytuni.
