Nice try to deflect the topic.
Nevertheless, as you brought it up:
Ethiopia was the aggressor as the war in 1998 happened because of #TPLFTerroristGroup border incursions during '97.
Obviously U take the flaring point on 12 May 1998 so to conveniently pont the finger at #Eritrea

The other 2, namely Djibouti n Yemen:
1st: in 1996 the Djibouti dictator lied in regards to an inexistent incursion by Eritrea while Petros Solomon, at the time foreign minister, was on official visit to the country.
The reality was the opposite, which dragged into 2018 events

All was about Djibouti trying to overcome the agreement made by France n Italy in 1935, and establish a status quo in regards to Ras Doumeira, an area that was given to Italy following the treaty signed & rectified in Rome.
Djibouti used a non exchange of documents are the time

as an excuse to consider that treaty non valid.
Obviously, having Italy lost 2WW n France being the owner of those territories before independence, the whole case has been handled in a messy way to point fingers at #Eritrea
Subsequent military confrontations to 1996 HV been

just a continuous attempt by Djibouti to regurgitate it's position, strong if french support.
2nd:
The Hanish Island archipelago has been on dispute since 1995 as fishermen from Yemen side were often caught into #Eritrean territorial waters.
The ownership of the islands ..

..were never properly established since the British occupation of Yemen.
#Eritrea had the legal rights to declared the Hanish theirs due to vicinity and historical use from local fishermen.
The case was then agreed to be decided through international arbitration whereas the..

large part of the archipelago has been declared part of Yemen n some smaller islands of #Eritrea .
Eritrea fully accepted the outcome of the decision.

Going back to Ethiopia Eritrea border war from '98, let's be clear on few points:
Eritrea, being a newly established state..

... whose borders have been drawn by previously colonial agreements n treaties, have always based ints territorial sovereignty based on documents given by others, agreements made by others, treaties signed n agreed upon or not followed up by others.
Same as for Djibouti n Yemen

When you, @TiborPNagyJr , call Eritrea the aggressor, maybe we should compare the actions with the ones of USA in the Mexico USA war in 1846, a consequence of the USA occupation n annexation of Texas
Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was then signed.
Or when the USA invaded Portorico

Treaty of Paris signed, ending Spanish-American War and Spain cedes Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines to the United States.
Who was the aggressor there??
So: who is right and who is wrong, Tibor??
If we see at history in terms of who "militarily" started a war, then between

...all, the USA comes up as the leader in the world.
Did you start military actions as a consequence of something else?? Definitely yes!!
And obviously, you see all those times as you being always right!!!
Well, #Eritrea was right in all 3 instances it went into wars.

Only difference, #Eritrea fully accepted the outcome of decisions made by international arbitration, consequently to those wars, independently of who started the "military" actions first or who initiated the issues or controversy first.
#Ethiopia under #TPLF didn't!!!

And the result of YOU, the USA, as guarantor of the peace agreement in Algeri n subsequent international arbitration agreement (EEBC) NOT doing your job by making sure the agreement was enforced, gave #Tplf the arrogance of not implementing it, causing 20+ years of..

.."no peace no war", where #Eritrea had to review it's internal economic n military situation and change lots of its policies, including the length and scope of the military service, to accommodate the continuous threats made by the presence of more that 300K Tplf military force

at the border and in the occupied #Eritrean territories, something that wouldn't been needed if YOU hadn't given tacit support to #Ethiopia to go ahead with a status quo created by non implementation of EEBC agreement.
The 20+ years following Algeri has been a continuous

attempt at regime change in #Eritrea, acted by #Tplf with your direct n indirect support, and the others that at various times came into the bandwagon by accusing #Eritrea of everything possible, from supporting Al Shabab to Al Qaeda, or inexistent terrorist activities in Addis

.. or Somalia or Sudan...
All with your continued supporting the fake allegations, giving okay to biased reports coming from special rapporteurs already instructed on what to find.
Let's be honest:
You NEVER accepted the fact that #Eritrea gain independence!!

You did everything in your power, and you continue to di so because of a grudge!
The true independence of #Eritrea is a thorn on your imperialist policy n interests in the Horn, ad U cannot control it.
And now that #Tplf is out of the game n #Ethiopia isn't your playground...

..as when Your puppet Meles was your favourite darling, you are faced with the dilemma: how can we get a regime change happening in #Eritrea now??
Sanctions, MSM, supporting Eritrean opposition, banging on the same narrative you supported in the last 20+ year...

But there is a new development that U didn't consider: the people!!
The people in the Horn are coming to realise who is right and who is wrong in regards to what happened the last 30 years in #Eritrea #Ethiopia #Somalia

And YOU cannot control the people!!

#NoMore

It's over!
