<p>Eritrean Foreign Policy Update<br />
Eritrea recently negotiated a peace deal with Djibouti and returned its ambassador to the African Union for the first time in years. The panel should analyze the Eritrean situation in light of recent developments.</p>
<p>Questions for discussion</p>
<ul>
<li>What is the significance of the recent peace deal with Djibouti.</li>
<li>How will our participation in the AU be different from previous attempts? Should Eritrea reconsider membership with IGAD?</li>
<li>What has been the impact of Qatari mediation in securing peace in the Horn</li>
<li>Is this a knee jerk reaction on Eritrea&#8217;s part, as Western analysts claim? What other arguments might help clarify the shifting mood in the Horn.</li>
<li>Comments made in the press</li>
</ul>
<p>Western Analysts argue Eritrea is conceding ground as a result of the Sanctions.</p>
<ul>
<li>Richard Reid (University of London) dismisses the possibility that Eritrea is reacting to the Sanctions.</li>
<li>International Crisis Group believes Eritrea is softening its foreign policy out of concern for its long term economic development.</li>
<li>Ban Ki-moon praises Eritrea for its recent constructive engagement with its neighbours and the international community.</li>
