There is also Ethiopia's mutual enmity with its immediate northern neighbor Eritrea. After a 30-year struggle for independence, Eritrea seceded from Ethiopia in 1993, and the pair fought a border war in 1998-2000 in which tens of thousands died. Wounds from that fight are still fresh, and the border dispute remains unresolved. On occasion, Somalia has served both countries as a battleground for proxy wars. With such a confluence of conflict, the nightmare scenario has long been a regional war that engulfs the Horn, perhaps impeding Suez Canal shipping traffic.

...movie people are having a hard time selling love. It's ridiculous to hear them say they can't think of good stories - everyone has a love story to tell.

If he were treated as a common criminal, says attorney May, "He could be put with violent criminals, where he could be subjected to harsher humiliating treatment, where he could not receive the kind of exercise and fresh air and light that he is entitled to in the U.S." There may be some justice in that. Just not the kind provided by the Geneva Convention...
...They flirt and parry and wind up in bed, exchanging dialogue that we hear again, at the end of Darjeeling, as part of a story Jack has written. It's a beguiling vignette that, as Closer and My Blueberry Nights did, shows Portman as a comic actress in fresh bloom. I wish that she, and some of the feeling and wit of the short film, had been in the long...
