any analysis or prognosis of these issues neither did the CRM have much of an opportunity to raise such questions with Ethiopian federal government authorities. One would expect that the Ethiopian government and Ethiopian centres of strategic studies would be engaged in pertinent analyses of these potential challenges and would put in place appropriate early warning and early action systems. The CRM joins it voice to those of others in the international community in signalling that greater international efforts are needed to stabilise Somalia because, inter alia, of the potential negative impact of those conflicts on Somalia’s neighbours, especially Ethiopia. 135. The CRM is also of the view that Ethiopia stands to gain a lot from the peace dividend that would accrue from normalising relations with Eritrea, going beyond the current state of no war, no peace. Transcending the present state of a chilly peace and transforming it into a normal relationship would be mutually beneficial for both Ethiopia and Eritrea. Therefore, the CRM joins its voice with those of others in the African region and larger international community urging the normalisation of relations between the two countries. III.
