La situation de « ni paix, ni guerre » avec l’Éthiopie reste un élément majeur dans le comportement des deux anciens protagonistes du conflit de 1998-2000 et détermine l’avenir de la paix et de la sécurité dans la Corne de l’Afrique toute entière. Les conséquences de ce conflit se répercutent en effet sur l’ensemble d’une région déjà instable qui offre à l’Érythrée de nombreuses opportunités d’agir afin de nuire à l’Éthiopie et ses alliés : conflits en Somalie, sur la côte kényane, au Soudan du Sud, ou encore rébellions armées en Éthiopie.
