The disputed Badme Border

vis a vis Hague Decision

M. Filli A.

Greetings to All!
IMO, the best way to summarize the Hague decision is that ERITREA PREVAILED
in all aspects.The war, as you all know, was not about litiena,Bada, or Irob but it was about Badme and environs and a hidden attempt to conquer and occupy Assab and the Eritrean Dankalia region as was and is yet displayed in
various world maps to date!

From BBC NEWS ONLINE

Eritrea was vindicated by the Hague decision unequivocally in those two regions(West and East) and the Central region resulted in a split decision. As a humble pointer, I have included this map showing Badme as it was claimed by "Ethiopia" for your humble information.Please compare that with map #13 and #10 for verification of the current location! It is all Eritrean!
Despite the minor discrepancies in the Central region,the "new" and "old"
maps of Eritrea do not show any discernable visual differences per se!

Long live Eritrea and let us now move on!
