The oppressive political situation prevailing since 2001 remained unchanged. No national elections were held or even discussed, and the cabinet was not reshuffled. Military zone commanders continued to play a role in political decision-making. The human rights situation did not improve. The stalemate in the peace process between Eritrea and Ethiopia was not overcome. On the contrary, towards the end of the year tensions over the unresolved border dispute between both states were further aggravated. The dire economic situation was characterised by a worsening lack of hard currency, leading to severe shortages of basic consumer goods. Malnutrition was common, especially in rural areas.
