East African country bordering Ethiopia (7)

I believe the answer is:

eritrea

(Other definitions for eritrea that I've seen before include "East African country" , "State north of Ethiopia" , "State of northeast Africa" , "It achieved independence from Ethiopia in 1993" , "River forming part of German-Polish border" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
