Ten years to this day, on April 13, 2002, the Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission (EEBC) rendered its "final and binding" decision and closed the final chapter of the Eritrea-Ethiopian border conflict once and for all. At least, we assumed so. But, when one of the parties in the dispute, the minority led Ethiopian government, is bent in "emasculating" the people it perceived to be its archenemy, no amount of adjudication will satisfy it from getting its pound of flesh. Irrespective of its signature on a "final and binding" arbitration agreement, and irrespective of the decisions made by the highest court in the land, the Marxist Leninist League of Tigray is still bent in getting its "trophy" at any cost. And, as long as that trophy remains to be "the emasculation and containment of the Eritrean chauvinism", the saga will continue.
