    These 20-year-old bottles of beer 🍺 and wine 🍷 were uncovered at Eritrea's embassy in Addis Ababa. Its doors have officially opened for the first time since 1998, as Ethiopia and Eritrea restore diplomatic ties after years of war and hostility. https://bbc.in/2Ni35IS pic.twitter.com/pyV7aTw47n

        The wine must be so good! it should be auctioned. These items should be stored in an African peace museum. Let's celebrate our progress as a continent. @AU_PSD

        it's about time we established an African Museum of Peace. As we look towards the future, we need places that remind our future generation that we can't go back to the old Africa of conflicts, suspicion and violence.
