[edit] Date

Is it really necessary to append each date with 'AD'? There is no information about the town of Badme before 1 AD so it seems unnecessary to me. Please comment. Merhawie 23:15, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Location

Yom, the location is no longer disuputed. I believe the EEBC ruled that it was located in Eritrea. Do you disagree? But you are correct, it is not a stub, thank you for fixing that.

The EEBC made its ruling, but it wasn't accepted (however illegally) by Ethiopia and remains disputed and under Ethiopian control, so to assign definitively the town to one country or another is not correct. — ዮም | (Yom) | Talk • contribs • Ethiopia 23:52, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Oh, I was under the impression that Ethiopia now accepted it without reservation but ok, thank you for the clarification. Merhawie 00:26, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
