Ethiopian-Eritrean+Civil+War


 * Name of Conflict:** __Ethiopian-Eritrean Civil War__


 * When:** __It started on May 1998__


 * Where: __They fought along the border, between the two countries.__**


 * Who: __Ethiopians and Eritrean__**


 * Why: They are fighting over an (Inconsequential) real estate “the border” and who should control it. The reason it took place was because both countries wanted the real estate, so they got into a war over the border. The Organization of Africa tried to stop the conflict.**


 * Winner of Conflict:** Ethiopians____________________________________


 * Result/Effects of Conflict: The result of the war is the Eritrean’s left the larger country. More then 30 thousand soldiers died in this war. But tens of thousands of civilians and others died.**


 * Opinion: My opinion is the fight over the border is stupid. To me it made no sense at all. To me the conflict could be avoided.
