Twenty years after a border war shut it down, a key crossing point between one-time bitter enemies Ethiopia and Eritrea has reopened.
The leaders of Ethiopia and Eritrea witnessed the reopening at Burre, as part of their ongoing rapprochement.
Another border crossing, close to the Ethiopian town of Zalambessa and on the main road linking the two countries, is also set to reopen.
The reopening coincides with the Ethiopian New Year, adding to the celebratory atmosphere.
Both countries had in July signed a peace deal restoring diplomatic and trade relations.
