Ethiopia-Eritrea Border Dispute and the Irob People

The Irob Global Diaspora, which speaks for the Irob people who live along the Ethiopia-Eritrea border, recently posted a statement titled "The Right to Exist."

While the Irob disapora supports the recent initiative by Ethiopia to resolve the border dispute with Eritrea, it urges that both governments take into account the concerns of the Irob people who live along the border and would be most directly affected by any transfer of land from one country to another.
