Badme:
Badme
is a small Eritrean border town situated near the country’s
border with Ethiopia. The town is the center of the border dispute
between the two countries which both claim its ownership along
the scantily defined Eritrea-Ethiopian border.
This resulted
in the war between the two countries in 1998 and though peace
prevails
and negotiations are ongoing, Badme is still the center for
tension between the two countries. The town experienced some
of the heavies
fighting during the war.
