This essay analyzes the risks surrounding current Eritrea-Ethiopia tensions, the sources of mutual restraint thus far, and the factors eroding this delicate balance. The authors discuss what can be done to avert another war that the Horn of Africa cannot afford. It proposes a practical framework for how external players like the United States, Europe, and key African and Gulf States can help facilitate critical dialogue and create the incentives for peace.
