(4)The conflict is also examined as an extension of the Arab-Israeli disputes of the Middle East, and of the resurgence of Islamic fundamentalism (5)The last dimension of the conflict is super power rivalry in Africa, as manifested in the involvement of the USA and the USSR and their allies in the Eritrean conflict by direct and indirect means.
