Information on the relationship between the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) government and that of the Eritrean People's Liberation Front (EPLF) [ETH11506]

The Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPDRF) reportedly enjoys a good relationship and has "strong ties" with the Eritrean People's Liberation Front (EPLF) (The Middle East International 12 June 1992, 19). The EPRDF recognises the provisional government of Eritrea (Gilkes July 12992, 5). Although Ethiopia and Eritrea have different views on how to achieve democracy, their relationship is reported to be amicable (Africa News 23 Dec. 1991-6 Jan. 1992, 18).
