        @BBCAfrica The headline for this news item is misleading.

        Did they declare the war is over? As in it has ended? Or did they declare war over oil, or some resource or a reason? Poor headline.

        The headline says one thing and the content is the complete opposite. 🤔

        'Ethiopia and Eritrea declare end of war' that is what should have been written.

        If this is true, the Nobel Peace Prize should be shared by all who made it possible.

        This is what i was expecting from PM Abiy visit to Asmara and its happened. The war officially ended today. Now the young ones can dream new dreams than escaping the country.

        When Africa gets leaders it deserves, hope those who killed Sankara and Lumumba won't kill the new Ethiopian PM. God bless the PM Ahmed!

        Proud of you people ! May the rest of Africa catch up, clearly in history lessons we are told Ethiopia is the only African country that was never colonised Liberia too but Liberia has always looked like an American colony for long

        Headline writers need to be careful. In this current age of typos and "covfefe" confusions when tweeters push send too early, I was reading this as "Ethiopia and Eritrea declare war over..." what?!?! Badme, sea access, long distance phone changes...?? Use a period! Period.
