 MAR | Data | Assessment for Afars in Ethiopia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
With ideological encouragement from Afars residing in Djibouti and Eritrea, radical actions from the ARDUF, and a still unsettled border dispute between Ethiopia and Eritrea (although a peace agreement was formally signed between the two in December 2000), the fine line between future political protest and continued Afar rebellion remains tenuous at best.
Recent drought throughout Ethiopia also has exacerbated living conditions for Afars, and the spread of disease such as AIDS as well as ethnic conflict with other minorities in order to secure access to grazing lands are pushing the Afars people to the limits of the physical resistance.
The secession of Eritrea in the early 1990s thus was opposed by many Afar as it divided their people between the two states.
