Ethiopian Air to resume Eritrea flights by Sept

Ethiopian Airlines Enterprise will reintroduce flights to Eritrea by mid-September, two decades after a border conflict upended relations between the Horn of Africa neighbours.
“Ethiopian Airlines get ready because soon you’ll start going to Eritrea and coming back,” PM Abiy Ahmed said in Addis Ababa. “Let us not transfer to our children hatred and the holding of grudges.”
Ethiopian Airlines’ CEO Tewolde Gebre Mariam said flights would resume “as soon as formalities are completed.”
Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki, in power from 1993 when the Red Sea state seceded from landlocked Ethiopia, sent a delegation including Foreign Minister Osman Saleh for talks in Ethiopia after Abiy said he was keen on normalising relations.
Ethiopia announced on June 5 it would fully implement the so-called Algiers Agreement signed in 2000 to formally end a two-year war between the neighbors that killed about 100,000 people.
