As it turns out, Abiy Ahmed and his deputy (Demeke Mekonen) and Eritrean president Isayas Afeworki showed up in two border areas between the two countries to celebrate the Ethiopian New Year with the soldiers from Eritrea and Ethiopia. They first flew to the North East to Debay Sima-Bure border where they met with soldiers from both countries and celebrated the Ethiopian New Year.
