Badme (Tigrinya: ባድመ, Arabic: بادم) is a town in the Gash-Barka region of Eritrea, on the border with Ethiopia. Control of the town was at the centre of the Eritrean–Ethiopian border conflict, which lasted from the beginning of the Eritrean–Ethiopian War, in 1998, to the signing of a joint statement at the 2018 Eritrea–Ethiopia summit, twenty years later.
