Neighbors reopen border crossing

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia - Ethiopia's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki on Monday officially reopened the Oumhajir-Humera border crossing that connects the two countries.

The newly reopened frontier, which had been closed for more than two decades, is the latest move to mend ties between two longtime foes who are trying to usher in a new era of positive relations.

Eritrea's Afwerki and Ethiopia's Ahmed, accompanied with senior officials of the two East African countries, witnessed the official reopening of the border crossing.
