Eritrea-Ethiopia: Algiers Agreement 10 years later!

The following video is from 2007 -- 5 years after the Algeries Agreement.  It is astounding that nothing has changed 5 years later (10 years after the agreement was signed).


 --- Youtube description of video follows -- 
The Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi & TPLF refuses to accept the UN sponsored Hague verdict - the FINAL and BINDING Algiers agreement between Eritrea and Ethiopia. And now are in the process to invade Eritrea under a false pretext.


In this video clip: After having announced full acceptance of the verdict, and for a little while danced with joy in the streets of Addis, with their Foreign Minister Seyoum Mesfin holding a press conference to tell the world that "the decision was fair and legal -- that sanity had won over insanity, and that the rule of law had prevailed over the rule of the jungle" they called upon the international community to obligate Eritrea to accept the decision as final and binding and further called upon the commission for a demarcation process to take place on the ground without further delay.



Well, I guess it had sounded too good to be true in the first place. Because, about sixteen months later, perhaps after having taken the time to confer with their American allies on the subject of face saving devices, on September of 2003, the TPLF made a turn about, and the world was startlingly awoken with their rampageous rejection and change of heart over the commission's findings and final verdict, calling it illegal, unjust and irresponsible, to which insolence and disrespect, of course, a red flag was never raised neither by the Americans nor by the security counsel of the United Nations. Nor was there a peep heard from the guarantors and witnesses of the agreement (UN, EU, USA, African Union).
