  4. 4. ii A C K N O W L E D G M E N T First and foremost my gratitude goes to Dr. Oliver Wolleh, my academic advisor, for his scholarly assistance from the research proposal up to the write-up with constructive comments and necessary corrections of the thesis. I also wish to thank Mrs. Petra Haumersen who is my second reader and evaluator of my thesis. I would also like to forward my sincere appreciation to my interview participants, professors at Addis Ababa University, and the President of the Ethiopian International Institute for Peace and Development. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Brian Holt, instructor at the Evangelical Theological College and Mr. Ayalew Kassa, researcher at World Vision International/Ethiopia, for their thoughtful editorial work. I would like to express my thanks and appreciation for Helga Salmanz in Bonn, Germany, for her kind support during my study in Germany. Without her generous support I would not have completed my university studies. I would like to thank the Office of the Chancellor of the Alice Salomon University of Applied Sciences and the program management team for sponsoring my tuition fees and rendering me all types of collaboration during my stay in Berlin, Germany. Last but not least, I would like to thank my wife Mekdes Amare, for her persistent prayers and care of our children in my absence. I would like to express my thanks to all of my friends who have encouraged me and contributed towards my education in one way or the other. Above all, I thank my God who has been with me from the beginning to the end of my higher studies in Germany.

  11. 11. ix ABSTRACT This research attempts to discover the main reasons for the conflict between Ethiopia and Eritrea that led them to the deadly war of 1998. Although the major causes to the conflict were the socio-economic and political instabilities within the states, the international community and the population of the two states understood border issue as predominant. The findings of this research prove that the important causes to the war were mainly economic, i.e., the unbalanced trade relations of Ethiopia with the emerging state of Eritrea, and secondly, the introduction of the new Eritrean currency known as Nakfa and Eritreas demand for parity with the Ethiopian Birr, which Ethiopia rejected. The social factors include rivalry, and the unmet deals and grudges between the leaderships. As to the political factors to the conflict, Eritrea pursued an expansionist policy, while Ethiopia issued the new regional map of the Tigray state that included the contentious territories as the dominant ones. The internal political problems of both states were further causes to the conflict. To sustain peace in the Ethio-Eritrean conflict situation, addressing the socio-economic and political issues with due respect to interdependence and mature diplomacy is vital. The top leaderships of both states should further dialogue and negotiate to resolve contentious issues, clearly demarcate the border, and focus on the development of both states. This will bring structural justice, democracy, stability and the rule of law to both warring nations.

INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the study Since the Italian colonization of Eritrea in 1890, which was then part of Ethiopia, the peace situation in the region and the relationship of Eritrea and Ethiopia has become flimsy and disturbed. Even after the end of the colonial system, Eritrea was again federated to Ethiopia. However, there is no improvement in the peace situation. Many things contributed to such a turbulent context. In terms of the socio-economic and political situation of the region, the Horn of Africa and specifically Ethiopia is neither prosperous nor democratic. Ethiopia and Eritrea belong to the poorest nations in the world and the government structures are poorly organized. As the result of these, conflict often emerges in the region. During the time Eritrea existed as part of Ethiopia, the nation building strategy was based on ethnicity. The same theory has a lot to do with the ethnic- based conflicts of the region. During the communist regime of Ethiopia (1974-199 1), Eritreans fought the war against the Derg along with the Tigray People Liberation Front (TPLF). In 1991 they succeeded in their mission to topple the communist regime, and Eritrea officially seceded from Ethiopia under the international community monitored referendum in 1993. This collaboration did not last as the TPLF is not currently on good terms with the Eritrean regime since 1997. The Ethiopian people for the most part, did not want the secession. Furthermore, some Eritreans who have known the significance of living together with Ethiopians rejected the referendum and identified themselves with the Ethiopians.

  13. 13. Chapter One: Introduction MA-ICM Thesis, By Worku M. Aymelo, ASFH, Berlin, Germany, 2007. 2 However, after the establishment of the new state in the Horn of Africa, Ethiopia did not stop socio-economic relations until the war broke out in 1998. The main reason for such a large war in the history of Ethiopia was not so much a question of an unsettled border issue. More than this there were several other reasons surrounding it, as we shall discover. 1.2 The statement of the problem and justification of the study The problem of the Ethio-Eritrean conflict is understood by the international community as largely a border conflict. That is, Eritrea is claiming its border was occupied by Ethiopia, while the latter says the opposite. They both took arms to settle the issue, nevertheless it was in vain. It is the view of many scholars, however, that the border problem was actually a minor issue. Therefore, is an issue that has misled the international community as well as the inhabitants of the two countries. Thus, unearthing the reasons behind the border issue that caused a deadly conflict between Ethiopia and Eritrea is very significant and it is also important to pinpoint the types of interventions that could enhance possibly a sustainable peace in the region. 1.3 Exposition The Ethiopian and Eritrean conflict is complex. It has multifaceted dimensions and multiple dynamics. Nevertheless, one of the aspects that is propagated as the main cause of the conflict is the border issue. However, the socio-economic and political factors are the main causes for the escalation of the conflict. Eritrea was once part of Ethiopia and now is an independent state. Eritrea enjoyed a tax-free trade relationship with Ethiopia until the war broke out, which left the Ethiopian trade system in an unbalanced state. One can argue that this was a major cause for the conflict. As the history of the conflict indicates, colonial rule in Eritrea has left a legacy of disparity which caused them to struggle for scarce resources to be accessed through such an unbalanced trade system.

  14. 14. Chapter One: Introduction MA-ICM Thesis, By Worku M. Aymelo, ASFH, Berlin, Germany, 2007. 3 External actors interest in both Eritrea and Ethiopia for their strategic significance lends another contribution to the conflict. Moreover, the impact of the conflict on the population of both countries is immense. The death and displacement of multitudes, loss of property, and the underdevelopment of the countries were some of the effects. Without addressing such multifaceted aspects of the conflict, one cannot hope for sustainable peace and development in the region. Any kind of intervention to maintain peace has to consider addressing the socio-economic and political factors. The assumption here is that Ethiopia and Eritrea cannot live alone. Ethiopia needs Eritrea and vice-versa. Maintaining the notion of interdependence of the communities of both countries is very important to sustain peace in the region. Therefore, the thesis aims to analyze the causes to the conflict and depending on the results, forward some recommendations that can be useful to transform such conflict for positive change and development of the region. 1.4 Objectives of the study This research aims to understand and analyze factors beyond the border issue that caused such a deadly conflict and its effects in both countries and their implications to sustain peace in the region. The study seeks for possible ways to address those factors behind the border issue so that peace in the region may be established. Promote the importance of interdependence of both countries, even though they are independent states. Draw lessons on how to intervene in conflict situations similar to this one. Make recommendations on how to sustain peace in the region.

  15. 15. Chapter One: Introduction MA-ICM Thesis, By Worku M. Aymelo, ASFH, Berlin, Germany, 2007. 4 1.5 The Scope of the study With regard to its scope geographically this study focuses on the location of Ethiopia and Eritrea located in the Horn of Africa. Concerning the time, it mainly focuses on the period between the fall of the communist regime in Ethiopia, 1991, and the beginning of the Ethio- Eritrean war in 1998. We will go back and forth to look at the history of the conflict and then its effects. The reason for such a limitation of the scope is that at the above-mentioned period, the relationship of both countries existed largely at the state. That is, the conflict occurred after the emergence of Eritrea as an independent state in 1993. Socio-economic and political factors that fueled the conflict will be the focus area of the research.

  16. 16. Chapter Two: Methodology MA-ICM Thesis, By Worku M. Aymelo, ASFH, Berlin, Germany, 2007. 5 II. METHODOLOGY 2.1 Introduction This chapter is based on the conviction that research should be accompanied by accounts of how it was really done. Since decisions about research instructions are made in gradual response to the nature of the social setting being investigated as its nature is revealed, every qualitative research design will be different. This means that qualitative research has to show its workings every single time. Furthermore, the researcher must justify choices made, and in particular demonstrate how the overall strategy is appropriate to the social setting and the researcher-subject relationships within it (Adrian 2002:7-9). Qualitative research is based on a conviction that what is important to look for will emerge and this is precisely the conviction that guided the researcher in this thesis, (ibid, p.6). When setting out for my fieldwork, I wanted to see which issues came up, and thus was very flexible during my research. This methodology chapter will describe the hypothesis of the research, the research questions, and the methods of the research. The methods of the research will further elaborate the research process and procedures, methodological limitations, and the way the data was analyzed. 2.2 Hypothesis of the study It is evident that every study has its own hypothesis. Based on that, there are several assumptions for this study as well. The first assumption of the study is that the reason for the Ethio-Eritrean 1998-2000 deadly conflict was not just a border issue. The working simple hypothesis of the study is that socio-economic and political reasons are the major causes of the conflict rather than the border issue. The conflicting parties are misleading the international community as if the cause for it is merely the border issue.

  17. 17. 6 Chapter Two: Methodology MA-ICM Thesis, By Worku M. Aymelo, ASFH, Berlin, Germany, 2007. Secondly, the international communities have contributed significantly to the conflict in the process of conflict escalation and at the same time in conflict de-escalation. Thirdly, ethnic nationalism that was introduced in Ethiopia since 1991 has also contributed negatively to the conflict. Fourthly, strategically addressing the reasons behind the conflict is the sole solution to sustain peace in the region. This study will work with the hypothesis that the conflict was between the leading elite but not at the level of the general populace and that there were social dynamics between the two groups that aggravated the situation. Thus, to sustain peace in the region one should also note those divides and commonalities and work on addressing the gaps. Here the assumption is that interdependence between the two countries is very important and should be maintained. Lastly, if the conflict between Ethiopia and Eritrea cannot find a final solution, the peace and security of the Horn of Africa would be endangered. For example, the conflict between the Union of Islamic Courts in Somalia (UICS) and the Ethiopian government in December 2006 was implicated as the proxy war of Eritrea and Ethiopia. That is, both contenders (Ethiopia and Eritrea) changed the battlefield from Badme to Somalia, the Eritreans supporting the UICS, the Ethiopians supporting the TFGS. 2.3 Research questions Every study has questions that need to be answered in the process of its investigation. This study is no exception. This research aims to seek answers to questions such as: what are the factors behind the border issue to the Ethio-Eritrean conflict and their implications to sustainable peace in the region? How is it possible to address the socio-economic problems that both countries face and how do such proposed solutions enhance the FinalM asterThesis ofW orku M enam o,ASFH ;Berlin,G erm any FinalM
