Ethiopia-Eritrea: Since the end of the war, ex-enemies are doing business
It has been 9 months since Ethiopia made peace with its neighbor in the Horn of Africa, Eritrea. Expelled at the time of the war that killed nearly 100,000 people between 1998 and 2000, Eritreans come to pick up their homes or choose to settle in Ethiopia. Eritrean investments are multiplying, hotels, restaurants, shops, everywhere visible in localities close to the border. Example in Mekele, the capital of the Tigray region where Tedros Tesfu, 41, came to settle as soon as the passage is possible again.
The Mekele bus station located about 100 kilometers from the border with Eritrea.
