He called his mother Kedija, who was expelled from Ethiopia to Eritrea in 1998 after the Horn of Africa neighbours went to war over their border.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Kedija, Kedija\u2019s mother and more than 70,000 Ethiopian citizens of Eritrean origin were wrenched from their families, put on buses and trucks bound for Eritrea &#8211; and given travel papers marked \u201cExpelled-Never to Return\u201d.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A peace deal finally forged in the past two days brought relations out of the deep freeze, and prompted the phone lines across the border to be reconnected.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">When Mohammed last heard his mother\u2019s voice, he was 13. He and his father had not heard from her since.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cI couldn\u2019t recognise her at first but for her laughter. It was surreal,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was bittersweet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Kedija told him she was doing fine in Eritrea\u2019s capital Asmara, but that his grandmother had died.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">END OF WAR<br \/>\nThe historic reconciliation could transform politics and security in the volatile Horn region, which hundreds of thousands of young people have fled in recent years in search of safety and opportunities in Europe.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">On Monday, the leaders of both countries announced they were ending the costly \u201cstate of war\u201d that has reigned since fighting stopped in 2000. Diplomatic relations were never restored because the sides could not agree how to implement a peace deal.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>SPONSORED STORIES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>After meeting and embracing in Asmara on Sunday, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and Eritrean President Isaias Afewerki told their peoples they were choosing love and forgiveness over hatred and violence.<\/strong> By Tuesday morning, people in Addis Ababa were frantically trying to phone their relatives in Eritrea.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cMy parents have been separated ever since. As a family, we are planning to travel to Eritrea very soon and reconnect for the first time in 20 years,\u201d said Mohammed.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">His mother told him that as soon as she heard that phone connections were being restored, she tried to phone a shop in the neighbourhood of Addis Ababa where the family used to live.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cShe hadn\u2019t forgotten the number,\u201d he said. But the call didn\u2019t get through. Instead, after news of the peace deal broke, distant relatives in Saudi Arabia called him to pass on his mother\u2019s number.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">FLEEING CONSCRIPTION<br \/>\nSirak Aseghid, 23, who fled to Ethiopia in 2016 after serving in Eritrea\u2019s army for two years, spoke to his elderly parents late on Monday.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cNow they now know I am fine,\u201d he said. \u201cYou can imagine the distress it causes families. Once you cross the border, the possibility of reconnecting with your family diminishes. You don\u2019t know where you\u2019re going to end up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Ever since he fled the conscript army \u2014 like many young Eritrean men who cannot face the prospect of indefinite, low-paid service \u2014 he has thought about attempting the dangerous trek across the Sahara in the hope of finding a boat to cross the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">But the prospect of peace has given him hope that Eritrea\u2019s young men will be allowed to return to civilian life.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cI want to return as soon as possible,\u201d he said. \u201cBut that will depend on finding employment as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">At least travel between the two countries should soon be much easier &#8211; Ethiopian Airlines said it would start a regular service between Addis Ababa and Asmara next week.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Families speak after 20 years as Ethiopia restores phones to Eritrea On Tuesday morning, Ethiopian mechanic Mohammed Osman placed a phone call he had dreamt of making for 20 years.
