Re: Eritrean/Ethiopian Conflict

Quote:
An age old question. How far back can nationalists claim "rights" to land?

300-600 a.d.?

1500's?

20th Century?

This is actually a really good question! I don't know how to answer it.
A very good question. I know that for Eritrea, if you look in geography books in an encyclopedia or anywhere online, you will see that Badme has been a part of Eritrea forever, and the only time it's been a part of Ethiopia is when all of Eritrea was federated with Ethiopia.
