Yes, Ethiopia and Eritrea were once part of the same territory under various historical empires and administrations. Eritrea was an Italian colony from the late 19th century until World War II, while Ethiopia maintained its independence. After the war, Eritrea was federated with Ethiopia in 1952, but this was dissolved in 1962, leading to a prolonged armed struggle for Eritrean independence. Eritrea finally gained independence from Ethiopia in 1993, becoming a separate nation.
Current conflicts in Ethiopia include fighting in the Somali region (ONLF is fighting for independence) and Somalia (the travesty still taking place). The conflict with Eritrea which started as a border conflict went to fighting inside the country and now is back to border skirmishes.
