The main political parties in Eritrea are the former EPLF (renamed the People’s Front for Democracy and Justice, or PFDJ) in 1994, the Democratic Movement for the Liberation of Eritrea, and the Eritrean Liberation Front (ELF).
Eritrea was established as an Italian colony on January 1, 1890.
In late 1994 Eritrea claimed Sudan was training terrorists to overthrow the Eritrean government, while Sudan made the first of a series of accusations that Sudanese rebels, assisted by the Eritrean army, were invading Sudan from Eritrea.
Eritrea is also fully aware of its responsibilities as a littoral state of a strategic international thoroughfare and has committed itself to contributing its share to the stability and security of, and the creation of a zone of peace and cooperation in, the region.
Eritrea is convinced that there is no alternative to the solution of conflicts by peaceful means on the basis of the UN and OAU Charters as well as existing principles of international law.
From the beginning of the conflict, Eritrea has repeatedly declared that war can never be an option to resolve conflicts, that neither of the parties can settle the conflict by imposing their will and creating facts on the ground - and then hope to achieve durable and meaningful peace.
