The Ethiopian-Eritrean War, which lasted from 1998 to 2000, had significant environmental impacts due to its extensive destruction of infrastructure and Natural Resources. The conflict led to deforestation, soil degradation, and loss of biodiversity as both military operations and displacement of populations disrupted ecosystems. Additionally, landmines and unexploded ordnance contaminated vast areas, hindering agricultural recovery and affecting wildlife habitats. Overall, the war exacerbated existing environmental challenges in the region, complicating post-conflict recovery efforts.

Eritrean War of Independence happened on 1961-09-01.
Haile Selassie, the Emperor of Ethiopia, played a significant role in Eritrea's history during the Italian occupation and the subsequent federation with Ethiopia. After World War II, he advocated for Eritrea's annexation to Ethiopia, asserting that it was a historical and cultural part of the Ethiopian Empire. In 1962, he formally dissolved the federation, integrating Eritrea into Ethiopia, which led to significant unrest and the eventual Eritrean War of Independence. His actions have had lasting impacts on Eritrean-Ethiopian relations.
Eritrea became independent from Ethiopia after a long and brutal struggle for liberation, which culminated in a war that lasted from 1961 to 1991. The conflict was driven by Eritrean nationalism and opposition to Ethiopian annexation. Eritrea officially gained its independence on May 24, 1993, following a UN-supervised referendum in which the Eritrean people overwhelmingly voted for independence.
