    Public Disclosure Authorized THE GOVERNMENT OF ERITREA MINISTRY OF ENERGY AND MINES Public Disclosure Authorized ASMARA POWER DISTRIBUTION AND RURAL ELECTRIFICATION PROJECT Public Disclosure Authorized Environmental and Social Assessment (ESA) Report Including Environmental and Social Management and Monitoring Plan (ESMMP) Public Disclosure Authorized January 2004 FILE COP Executive Summary Introduction The Ministry of Energy and Mines of the State of Eritrea has requested the World Bank and other donors to finance the Asmara Power Distribution (Voltage Conversion and Rehabilitation) and Rural Electrification Project. IVO Power Engineering Limited of Finland and Electrowatt Engineering Ltd of Switzerland conducted the Feasibility Study in 1998. According to this study it was found that the present power distribution system in Asmara, which is 40-50 years old, is incapable of meeting additional loads, power failures and voltage fluctuations are frequent and losses are unacceptably high. Thus the main motive is to alleviate the acute weakness and shortcomings of the old distribution networks in Greater Asmara. A latest estimate of the electrification level in rural Eritrea is 3% and the poverty level is around 70%. As modem energy and in particular electricity is a requirement to stimulate rural development and eradicate poverty, an intense government and donor support is required to change the way of life of the rural people and meet the Millennium Development Goals. This is the driving force behind the rural electrification component of the project. The Ministry of Energy and Mines has requested the World Bank (WB) and other bilateral development partners to finance the project. It reached an understanding with the WB mission to take the responsibility to conduct an Environmental and Social Assessment of the proposed project, which is a requirement for appraisal.

  • The Case of Eritrean- Ethiopian Border Dispute
    International Journal of Social Inquiry Volume 7, Number 1, 2014, pp. 63-78 Understanding African Relationships: The Case of Eritrean- Ethiopian Border Dispute Kieran E. Uchehara1 Abstract Boundary disputes are among the most explosive international flashpoints. They frequently correlate with militarised interstate disputes and are more likely to lead to high-intensity conflict compared to other forms of friction. The Eritrea-Ethiopia peace process remains stalled a decade after the arbitral award by the Boundary Commission and several years after awards by the Commission. To this end, I analyse primary and secondary sources and assesse why arbitration by the commissions did not produce the desired outcome. This paper examines the Eritrean-Ethiopian border dispute from 1998 to the present and explains the case while searching for solutions. In detail, the analysis first sheds light on the dispute as well as previous attempts at settlement. Second, a new theoretical approach is introduced in the form of conflict resolution theory. Finally, an analysis of the peace process in light of this theoretical tool is used to offer a prognosis of the future. Keywords: Eritrean, Ethiopian, Border Dispute, Attempted Settlements, Boundary Commission Introduction Boundaries are natural or artificial separations or divisions between adjoining properties that show their limits. They are used to establish private and public ownership by determining the exact location of the points, at which one piece of land is distinguishable from another. They are also used to mark the functional and jurisdictional limits of political subdivisions. The setting of boundaries is a characteristic of the modern era in history, during which centralized states started to emerge–those that required both protection against attacks and definition of their populations.

  • IV. Current Context to Human Rights Violations in Eritrea
    A/HRC/29/CRP.1 IV. Current context to human rights violations in Eritrea A. Ethnic and religious composition of Eritrea 128. Out of a total population estimated at 6.3 million people81, there are nine linguistically defined sub-nationalities, or ethnic groups in Eritrea: Tigrinya82 (55 per cent), Tigre (30 per cent), Saho (4 per cent), Kunama (2 per cent), Rashaida (2 per cent), Bilen (2 per cent), and others (Afar, Beja and Nara, 5 per cent). Afar 129. Traditionally pastoralists raising goats, sheep and cattle in the desert, the Afar people form an ethnic group spread across Ethiopia, northern Djibouti and southern Eritrea. Afar people speak the Afar language and the majority are Muslim. Beja 130. The Beja people inhabit Eritrea, Sudan, Egypt and the Sahara desert. In Eritrea they reside in the Gash-Barka, Northern Red Sea and Anseba regions. They speak the Beja language and are predominantly Sunni Muslim. The Beja contain smaller clans such as the Bisharin, Hedareb, Hadendowa (or Hadendoa), the Amarar (or Amar’ar), Beni-Amir, Hallenga and Hamra. Bilen 131. The Bilen people are concentrated in central Eritrea, in and around Keren and further south towards Asmara. Their mother tongue is the Bilen language, though many also speak Tigre and Tigrinya, and younger Bilen are said to use Arabic words and expressions in their everyday speech. They are both Christian and Muslim. Muslim adherents are mainly in rural areas and have often intermingled with the Tigre. Christian Bilen reside in urban areas and have often mixed with the Tigrinya. Kunama 132. The Kunama people are an ethnic group living in Eritrea and Ethiopia.

A unique feature of this incident is that the December 2000 Algiers agreement ending the conflict provided for the establishment of an Eritrea-Ethiopia Claims Commission (claims commission), charged with deciding claims for loss, damage or injury resulting from a violation of international law committed by either country.
