Beskrivelse
This paper discusses the border dispute between Eritrea and Ethiopia, the decision of the Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission of the Permanent Court of Arbitration, and the difficulties that both parties are having implementing the decision. This conflict may qualify as an intractable conflict. Conflict 'is a difference within a person, or between two or more people, that touches them in a significant way' (LeBaron and Pillay, 2006, p. 12). Conflict hurts the most 'when their interdependence is so essential that they cannot do away with it despite the difficulties of remaining interdependent, such as for friends or lovers' (LeBaron & Pillay, 2006, p. 88). Such is the case between Ethiopia and Eritrea.
