Eritrea War Drags On Despite 22 Years of Conflict
In Eritrea, Africa's longest running war against Ethiopia continues with heavy casualties and massive refugee flows. Guerrilla leaders claim over 100,000 Eritreans killed and up to 500,000 fled to Sudan, while relief groups note aid access is severely limited. Rebels operate from hidden bases in rugged terrain as factions squabble for leadership and limited external support.

It notes Ethiopian strength of 306,000 with Soviet support, EPLF’s 12,008 fighters, and the rebels’ mixed ideology. The piece cites leaders’ views on leftist labels and aims to gain international recognition.
