Ethiopia and Eritrea declare end of war

The leaders of Ethiopia and Eritrea have signed a declaration saying that the "state of war that existed between the two countries has come to an end", Eritrea's information minister tweeted.

A peace deal that ended the 1998-1999 border war between the two countries has never been fully implemented.

There has been tension between the neighbours ever since.

The declaration came at a meeting between the two countries' leaders in Eritrea's capital, Asmara.
