Ethiopian armed forces invade Kenya in border row

Ethiopian armed forces in armoured vehicles drove about 15km deep into Kenyan territory at the border trading centre of Illeret following a disagreement between Kenyan and Ethiopian surveyors mandated to check beacons marking the boundary between the two countries.

Over the last one month, surveyors from the two countries were at Illeret to check on international beacons, an exercise last conducted in 1964.
