Ethiopia and Eritrea reopen their border for the first time in 20 yearsPostedThe leaders of Ethiopia and Eritrea have re-opened crossing points on their shared border for the first time in 20 years, clearing the way for trade between the former foes after a stunning reconciliation. Key points: Leaders opened the border point at Bure, a region that saw some of the fiercest fighting during their 1998-2000 war. Both Ethiopia and Eritrea have reopened their embassies in their respective countries. Eritrea reopened its embassy in Ethiopia in July, and Ethiopia reciprocated last week.
