Some years ago, Ethiopia and Eritrea split from the old country of Ethiopia. Animosity remained and has been aggravated by land-locked Ethiopia's total lack of success in gaining access to the sea through the port of Aseb in southern Eritrea.

As a result, Ethiopian troops have now invaded southern Eritrea. The Eritrean government has called on surrounding countries and the UN for help. Both <u>Somalia</u> and <u>Sudan</u> have claimed neutrality and, furthermore they have threatened to shoot down any foreign aircraft entering their airspace.

The UN has pledged <u>French</u> forces in neighbouring Djibouti, <u>US forces</u> in Saudi Arabia and <u>British</u> forces to be placed in northern Eritrea.

Your mission is to fly a US CAP with your wingman, preventing any Ethiopian aircraft from violating Eritrean airspace
