REF: A) DJIBOUTI 427 
      B) DJIBOUTI 424 
 
1. Embassy received via diplomatic note April 30 from the 
Ministry of Foreign Affairs a statement and chronology of events 
regarding the Djibouti/Eritrean border dispute (reftels). 
 
2.  BEGIN EMBASSY TRANSLATION: 
 
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation 
presents its compliments to the accredited Embassies to the 
Republic of Djibouti and has the honor to inform them that: 
 
Following the incursion of the Eritrean Armed Forces into 
Djiboutian territory, more specifically into the Ras Doumeira 
area, north of Obock city, which the government of the Republic 
of Djibouti noted on April 18, 2008; 
 
Anxious to preserve the path of dialogue and consultation, the 
Government of the Republic of Djibout has, since April 18, 2008, 
undertaken diplomatic efforts on several levels with the 
Eritrean government to find a diplomatic solution for the border 
dispute. 
 
Bilateral diplomatic contacts initiated over ten days ago have 
not seen any positive development, and have led to a fragile 
status quo situation at the border, where the Armed Forces of 
the two countries are face-to-face. 
 
In regard of this situation which we consider as volatile, and 
considering the persistence of the Eritrean Armed Forces in this 
violation of the territory of the Republic of Djibouti; 
 
The government of the Republic of Djibouti has decided to 
officially inform the International Community of the situation. 
 
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation 
avails itself of this opportunity to renew its assurances of 
high consideration to the Embassies accredited to the Republic 
of Djibouti. 
 
?Border Crisis between Djibouti and Eritrea: Chronology of 
Events?: 
 
February 8, 2008 
 
The Obock administrative authorities noticed civil engineering 
works on the other side of the border, ie. the Eritrean side. 
When asked by Djiboutians, the Eritreans stated that they were 
building a road that would connect Assab to Obock, through 
Raheyta. 
 
April 4, 2008 
Eritrean public works vehicles crossed the border and started 
works on Ras Doumeira. 
 
April 5, 2008: 
The Prefect of Obock and the Chief of the Djiboutian Armed 
Forces Regiment stationed in Obock decided to visit Doumeira in 
order to inquire about the situation. The Eritrean Army 
positioned on Ras Doumeira drove them back and prohibited access 
the mountain. 
 
April 5 ? 17, 2008 
From April 5, negotiations between the two regional authorities 
began in order to understand the reasons for this encroachment 
of the Djiboutian territory. 
 
April 17, 2008 
With no results from these negotiations, the Djiboutian 
government decided, on April 18, to take diplomatic steps at the 
highest level. For the next 5 days: Meeting with Eritrean 
Ambassador in Djibouti, message sent to the Eritrean government 
through the Djiboutian Ambassador in Asmara,  phone calls 
between the two Presidents and meeting between both Foreign 
Affairs Ministers on April 21 in Djibouti. 
 
April 22, 2008 
The President of the Republic led a ministerial delegation to 
Ras Doumeira to note that the Eritrean Armed Forces have 
 
DJIBOUTI 00000428  002 OF 002 
 
 
completely occupied Ras Doumeira, built barracks, trenches, and 
fortifications made of basaltic rock, and that speedboats armed 
with cannons and a patrol boat were also seen docked in the 
adjacent creek. 
 
Djiboutian Forces have received the order to proceed up the 
Djiboutian side of Ras Doumeira. Eritrean Forces fell back a few 
tens of meters to the other side. 
 
The diplomatic negotiations went on without any tangible 
results.  The Eritrean government refuses categorically to hold 
any discussion or diplomatic meeting. 
 
April 30, 2008 
The Djiboutian government has decided to ask for arbitration 
from the international Community.
