Eritrea invaded Ethiopia and fought the Eritrean–Ethiopian War over the "valuable" town of Badme, seen in the lower three photos. The 2000 war over a border created in 1902 and muddied when Italy took troops from their colony of northern Ethiopia (Eritrea) and invaded Ethiopia cost hundreds of millions of Dollars and cost the lives of tens of thousands.

The Tigrinya people who rule both Eritrea and Ethiopia, and abuse minorities in both nations, trace their ancestry to the legendary king Menelik I, the child born of the queen of Sheba and King Solomon as do the priests of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. Menelik I would become the first king of the Solomonic line of rulers of Ethiopia that ended only with the deposing of Emperor Haile Selassie in 1974.

Mussolini left behind lavish architectural monuments to Italian culture in Eritrea, the most impressive of which is the 1938 Fiat Tagliero petrol station in Asmara, now operated by Shell.


Perhaps China has their eyes on this lush prize, the town of Badme.
