ERITREANS FLEE ETHIOPIAN BORDER

Eritreans fleeing their homes are pictured carrying their belongings at the Ethiopian border town of Zalambesa in 1998, the beginning of a two-year border war. In 2003, Eritrea instituted indefinite military conscription; many Eritreans continued to flee the country to escape serving in the military with no end to their service in sight. (CNS photo/Reuters)
