Ethiopia 'ready for Eritrea war'

 

Ethiopia's prime minister says he is strengthening his army in preparation for an attack by long-time foe Eritrea.

"Our defence forces have the capacity to deter aggression and to repulse it if it occurred and... this is being strengthened by the day," he told MPs.

 

The two neighbours fought a border war from 1998-2000, in which hundreds of thousands of people were killed.

 

They back rival sides in Somalia and there had been fears that they could clash there through local proxies.

Of course, they are getting help from USA, so they can attack Eritrea anytime and establish a base in Asmara as they did in Mogadishu and surroundings.

 

They can always say the people of Eritrea invited us to liberate them!

I doubt Eritreans can give up so easily, they are battle-hardened lot, last war the ethos invaded in full scale and were trying to outnumber them, but they fend them off, excatly and historically what new-born somalia did in 1963, they defeat ethopia's agreesion and kept them on their track.

Can they fight on all three fronts? With Somalia West, Eritrea and of course in Somalia?
