Tsorona-Zalambessa is a small disputed area on the border between Eritrea and Ethiopia.

Zalambessa was a village that was fortified by Italian colonial forces. The fortifications were taken over by the Ethiopian military in 1952 when Eritrea was federated with Ethiopia. The older village remained under Eritrean Administration leading to the modern border dispute.[1]
