The Root of the Conflict
The Type of the Conflict
There are actually two ways that this conflict takes form in. In the early stages, when tension was building up before the actual clash, the conflict took form in discrimination against the Eritreans. They were badly treated by the Ethiopeans, and were stripped of their own language. Then, Eritreans started a rebellion against the Ethiopeans, which is where the conflict starts to take in the form of open violence. Killing each other for their own cause, until recently the violent conflict has died down a bit to take in the form of slight tension between the two ethnicities.
Spatial Extent of the Conflict
The conflict between Eritrea and Ethiopia were contained within the two countries. Fortunately, this conflict did not spread over to other countries on the boundary, and kept the fight a little more kept within itself and not globalized.
