Note: the maps below are sections of the Eritrean government official map from 1995. The map falsely claims Alitiena, and also illegally incorporates a chunk of the Dallol area as well as a slice of Djibouti. Click here for the Italian military map from 1935 which places Alitiena in Ethiopia (The green line is the Italian-drawn border)

June 18: CEASEFIRE AGREEMENT SIGNED IN ALGIERS: Ethiopian and Eritrean foreign ministers sign document. Reporters visit Ethiopian-controlled Ambaseira mountain, north of Senafe, disproving Eritrea’s recent claim to have captured the "commanding heights" that control Senafe.

June 17: Eritrea announces “voluntary” deportation of Ethiopian civilians living in Eritrea. The Eritrean government claims that Ethiopian civilians were beaten and killed because they "provoked" and "taunted" Eritreans.

June 15: Ceasefire on Sunday: signature date set for Algiers. Foreign reporters in Tesseney see battle aftermath -- an Eritrean trench outside Tesseney became a grave for Eritrean soldiers. Also, evidence that Eritrea has diverted food aid to its army was discovered.
