The first commercial flight to Eritrea in two decades departed today from Addis Ababa, according to the Ethiopian Airlines website, after the two nations ended their bitter conflict in a whirlwind peace process.

Ethiopian Airlines indicated that flight ET0312 to Asmara had left Bole International Airport, after a ceremony inaugurating the flight, which chief executive Tewolde GebreMariam described as a "unique event in the history of Ethiopia and Eritrea".
