- <p> More than 98% of voters in Eritrea elected to secede from
- Ethiopia, bringing to a peaceful close one of Africa's longest
- and bloodiest wars of independence. But economic development
- will not come so easily. Eritrea's government needs in excess
- of $2 billion to begin rebuilding the nation's shattered
- infrastructure, and any future prosperity may hinge on amicable
- ties with Eritrea's former rulers in Addis Ababa. Since the
- breakaway province now controls Ethiopia's only access to the
- Red Sea, it is a relationship neither side can afford to
- neglect.
