Hoffnungsschimmer am Horn von Afrika (2019)

In 1998 a bloody war broke out between Ethiopia and its neighbor Eritrea. More than 80,000 people lost their lives in what was called one of the most pointless wars of all time. Eighteen years after a fragile peace was declared in 2000, there was a sign of new hope when Ethiopia's recently elected president Abiy Ahmed Ali publicly met with his Eritrean counterpart Isayas Afewerki on June 5, 2018 and declared to give up the village of Badme which had been at the center of the dispute.
