Abstract
The 2018 relationship between Ethiopia and Eritrea has changed from antagonism,
confrontation, and conflict to cooperation. The two states' friendship, as well as the peace and
security in the Horn of Africa as a whole, would be improved by this cooperation. The purpose of
this research was to examine how the 2018 agreement may become prospective by confronting
its challenges. Data was gathered from primary and secondary sources, such as face-to-face
semi-structured interviews, journals, books, documents, articles, newspapers, online sites, and
chosen media. Many analysts, scholars and community of practice see the agreement positively
and embrace it, but the study's findings show that there are various variables that make it
difficult for the collaboration to be effective and successful. One of the most serious is the
protracted civil conflict that has arisen in the northern Ethiopia (covering the Tigrai, Amhara
and Afar regional states), which poses a clear and present danger to peace and
security;furthermore, according to the study, if Ethiopia's internal problems are not resolved
within a short period of time, cooperation as neighboring states may face real challenges, with
consequences not only for them but also for the region.
