Waa runtaa laakin I think they are hoping the sanctions they recently placed on Eritrea will weaken it enough so that it will be easier for Ethiopia to invade and occupy parts of it, mainly its ports. Of course Eritrea has to be made to appear the aggressor first somehow.It doesn't matter what the West will do, the reality is Eritrea is a perpetual military state. Ethiopia thought it could take it on back in 1998 and the whole world knows the result. I doubt Ethiopia is going to risk conventional war with Eritrea in this time with internal rebellion, advanced friction with Egypt, and a political situation inside Addis that can spiral out of Zenewi's control as fast as you can say "go".
