Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and Eritrean President Isaia Afwerki (AFF-WORK-EE) have announced the re-establishment of diplomatic and trading ties between the neighbouring countries.
The move will include the establishment of embassies in their respective capitals, as well as allowing Ethiopia to use Eritrea’s ports.
Ties between the countries were previously severed after a border dispute between the countries ended in the death of tens of thousands of people.
