ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) - A delegation from Eritrea will arrive in Addis Ababa this week as Ethiopia's prime minister tries to resolve a conflict with the neighbouring nation, which used to be part of Ethiopia and waged a 30-year struggle for independence.

Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, who was at a rally hit by a grenade attack on Saturday, has said that ending war and expanding economic ties is critical for stability and development in the impoverished Horn of Africa region.
