		The point at issue with Somalia was the Ogaden region, an area that Mogadishu claimed as part of the historical Somali nation that had been seized by the Ethiopians during the colonial partition of the Horn of Africa.
		Ethiopia's turn toward the Soviet Union caused Sudan to seek the support of new allies in preparing for the possibility of external invasions sponsored by Khartoum's regional enemies.
		By 1980 the tensions between Sudan and Ethiopia had abated, however, with the signing of a peace treaty calling for the mutual respect of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the two countries.

		It is good to have a relatively tolerant atmosphere as in the pre-election debates in Ethiopia and we cannot deny that there was effervescence of ideas during the electoral process, but it was transient and brief indeed.
		A lot of Ethiopian observers who were impressed by the pre-election political culture forgot to realize that flowers can bloom but weeds can also take over if the foundation of the electoral democracy is on a shaky ground.
		If on the other hand there is an atmosphere of toleration, democratic principles and practice, and overall political maturity that transcend trivial and personal political quarrels, a smooth coalition bargaining becomes the rule rather than the exception; a rich continuum of debate develops, and an equilibrium phenomenon accommodates the member parties.
