Abstract

In 1998 a bloody war erupted in the Horn of Africa between Ethiopia and Eritrea. During the war Ethiopia arrested and expelled 70,000 of its citizens, stripped another 50,000-plus of their citizenship on the basis of their presumed Eritrean identity. This book examines the events which led up to the war, documents the expulsions and denationalizations that took place and follows the flight of these stateless Ethiopians out of The Horn into Europe. The core issue examined is the link between sovereignty and statelessness as this plays out in The Horn and in the West.
