COLLEEN MCEDWARDS, WORLD NEWS: There has been a sharp turn in the war between Ethiopia and Eritrea. But the latest development may be less about indirect peace talks now under way and more about gains on the battlefield. CNN's Mark Armstrong has an update now on the war on the Horn of Africa.</s>MARK ARMSTRONG, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Ethiopia says its war against Eritrea is over. Prime Minister Meles Zenawi says his forces have recovered all the disputed territory along the border. But he also says the Ethiopian army will take any action it needs to if there's any further provocation from Eritrea. Even if the fighting on the ground is finally easing, the two neighbors are still engaged in a bitter war of words. Peace talks are under way in Algeria. But the two sides have not yet met face to face, and Eritrean officials are rejecting demands from Ethiopia for changes to the peace plan put forward by the Organization of African Unity. Nevertheless, diplomatic sources say agreement on a four-point cease-fire accord could be close. For the hundreds of thousands of people displaced by the war, an end to the fighting can't come soon enough. Every day, more and more refugees arrive at this camp in Eritrea. Most of them come from areas now under the control of Ethiopian forces. They're completely reliant upon international aid organizations for food and shelter. Officials from the U.S. Agency for International Development, USAID, have just announced an $11 million extra increase in aid for the Horn of Africa. But they admit the war is hampering their efforts to prevent a humanitarian disaster.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We call on the Ethiopian government to desist from all further offensive actions on the port of Nasawa (ph) and the Asmara port. These facilities must remain functional to allow delivery of humanitarian supplies to civilian victims of this conflict.</s>ARMSTRONG: This war has cost tens of thousands of lives and drained the minimal economic resources of two of the world's poorest countries. Even if the guns do fall silent, recovery will be a long time coming. Mark Armstrong, CNN.
