Recent History
Finally, after a two-month spell of heavy fighting, the UN managed to broker a settlement in June 2000. A peacekeeping force UNMEE (UN Mission in Eritrea and Ethiopia) was installed while a permanent solution was sought. This remains elusive. Whilst war has not yet returned, the government responded drastically to domestic opposition following the war, which alienated many of the new government’s most important foreign backers, especially in Europe. Within Eritrea, an alliance of a dozen opposition groups has now formed a military wing to pursue their campaign against the Afewerki regime.
