On Eritrea:
Question: in your letter of congratulations on the occasion of its 28th independence, you spoke of outstanding burning issues that needed resolution. What issue are you talking about?
PM Abiy: issue like Somalia/Kenya problem, Djibouti/Eritrea border issue, South Sudan.
Question: The border between Ethiopia and Eritrea, now you see it open now you see it closed. What is going on?
PM Abiy: Eritrea ruler feels threatened by an open border for fear that opposition groups in Ethiopia and one might add the "Enough, Yiakl' youth movement might exploit the open border to get him one way or the other.
