meskerem 4-3-05 : EDA shocks Eritreans by declaring the border ruling as unjust.
The EDA,  in its decision statement  posted in Tigrinya (#3), has declared the border ruling unjust. The decision stated that the EDA found the decision to be  unjust because it give away some territory to Ethiopia. It also stated that it accepts the border decision "legally" ( in principle ?)and called for peaceful implementation of this unjust ruling.  This is  the first time that such a position has been officially declared as the joint position of the Eritrean opposition organizations. The public will definitely compare this position with the current positions of the Ethiopian and Eritrean governments.
