Djibouti and Ethiopia on Saturday accused neighboring Eritrea of undermining regional stability.

In a joint statement, Djiboutian President Ismail Omar Guelleh and Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn called on the international community to “take serious steps against the Eritrean government to prevent it from undermining stability in the region.”

The Eritrean government could not be reached for a comment. Tension has been high between Eritrea and both Djibouti and Ethiopia over their border conflicts.

Djibouti and Eritrea have engaged in two border conflicts. In 1996, they almost went to war after a Djiboutian official accused Eritrea of shelling the town of Ras Doumeira.

Three years later, in 1999, Eritrea accused Djibouti of siding with longstanding rival Ethiopia, while Djibouti counter-accused Eritrea of supporting rebels fighting its government.

As a result, Djibouti recalled its ambassador and broke off relations with Eritrea, which weren’t restored again until 2001.

The two countries clashed again for three days in the summer of 2008, leading to a further deterioration of ties and a U.N. embargo on Eritrea. Ethiopia and Eritrea, meanwhile, fought a two-year war over a border triangle in 1998. The two countries have also been trading accusations of supporting internal opposition since the end of the war.

    What bothers me the most is how the report says “Djbouti and Ethiopia on Saturday accused neighboring Erirea of undermining regional stability” In reality, The mad man (Isayas)and his supporters are sabotaging the Eritrean peoples’ lives and destabilizing the regione by dumping refugees all over the place. The mad man Isayas and Eritrea/Eritreans are not synonymous. The report should have read as, “Djbouti and Ethiopia on Saturday accused the mad man, Isayas of undermining regional stability”
    Eritrea or Eritrean people can’t be responsible for what the mad man,Isayas and his supporters are doing.

    Asena, shame on you. You are against the people of Eritrea, you will oppose the regime until you see regionalism is existing in our nation, which will not happen. The regime change in Ethiopia is coming soon. I hope you are familiar with Esat, which is a true news media. It is only four years old, but growing fast. Asena is 13 years old, but other than false news and being the Weyane financed site, you accomplished nothing. Eritrea is on its truth. The reason behind Hailemariam frastration is that Demhit and Arbenoch with the other oposition groups are ready to wage war against him.
    The time Ethiopians and Eritreans live in peace is coming soon. However, you will be always live as a Moran.
    God bless the PIA and the people of Eritrea.
