In Africa, the UN is warning tensions along the border between Ethiopia and Eritrea could lead to the outbreak of war. Forces from both countries are moving troops and military supplies closer to the shared buffer zone. 200,000 troops are on the Eritrean side alone. Close to 70,000 people were killed when the two countries fought over a border dispute in 1998. Meanwhile, anti-government protests continued in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa. Residents said police fired on demonstrators and arrested several human rights activists. Doctors say at least three people were killed in the clashes, bringing the week’s death toll to at least 11.
