The\u00a0 boundary\u00a0 problems\u00a0 are\u00a0 enmeshed\u00a0 with\u00a0 legal loopholes, poor documentation, and irreconcilable political\u00a0 interests.\u00a0 A\u00a0 single\u00a0 map\u00a0 can\u00a0 hardly\u00a0 be taken as an accurate rendering of the boundary as sanctioned by valid international conventions and effective\u00a0 occupation.\u00a0 Therefore,\u00a0 like\u00a0 any\u00a0 archival material,\u00a0 political\u00a0 maps\u00a0 should\u00a0 be\u00a0 scrutinized through\u00a0 the\u00a0 application\u00a0 of\u00a0 standard\u00a0 historical research methodology.<\/p>\n<p>The resolution of the ongoing boundary disputes requires, more than an understanding of the intricate historical processes, a keen political stance to renegotiate the boundary and the stakes involved with it. Resorting to colonial legacy would be helpful if the processes up to the post-colonial period are recognized in their dynamism, rather than through a self-serving selective appropriation of certain maps and conventions. Hence, boundary conventions and maps produced by various agencies could be utilized as a point of reference rather than a binding manual.<\/p>\n<div><strong>Dr. Haile Muluken Akalu<\/strong> is Assistant Professor of History in the Department of History and Heritage Management, College of Social Sciences and Languages, Mekelle University.
