Ethiopia's prime minister said Thursday he is building up the army's capabilities because he fears an imminent attack by Eritrea, which he also accused of arming rebel groups inside his country.
I sincerely doubt that Eritrea is pining for open war given the drubbing they received nearly a decade ago.
After fighting with American forces in Somalia against the Islamic Courts movement, Ethiopia probably feels in a pretty good diplomatic position to pressure Eritrea.
We'll see if this is a shot across the bow or aimed directly at Asmara.
