Bure is a small disputed area on the border between Eritrea and Ethiopia, about 50 miles west of Asseb. Eritrea considers Bure to be a part of its Southern Red Sea Zone, and Ethiopia considers Bure part of Administrative Zone 1 of its Afar Region. This area lies across the important Awash-Asseb highway, which in the past has been an important trucking route.

The Eritrea Ethiopia Boundary Commission determined in 2002 that the Bure lay on the Ethiopian side of the border. [cite press release | title =Chapter VI – The Sector Covered by the 1908 Treaty (Eastern Sector) | publisher =Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission | date =2002-04-13 | url =http://www.pca-cpa.org/showfile.asp?fil_id=604 | accessdate =2007-10-10 ] Relations between Eritrea and Ethiopia soured in November 2005, when 20 Ethiopian soldiers occupied a portion of this area for several days. After peace-keeping troops from United Nations Mission in Ethiopia and Eritrea intervened, the Ethiopian troops withdrew.
