Asmara, Eritrea Ethiopia, Eritrea risk starting a new war: UN envoy
“Time is running out. Both countries are acquiring additional arms, increasing the number of forces at their borders,” said former Canadian foreign minister Lloyd Axworthy, the special U.N. envoy for Ethiopia and Eritrea. “I still believe however that war can averted,” he told Parliament’s foreign affairs committee in Ottawa. Ethiopia and Eritrea fought a two-year border war from 1998 to 2000 in which more than 70,000 people died. The conflict ended with a peace deal that set up a commission to determine where the border should lie. Ethiopia, which objects to some of the commission’s conclusions, recently moved troops into the buffer zone along the border. Axworthy noted the two sides had adopted “a more military tone to the dialogue” and called on the international community to clamp down on arms sales to the two nations. “There are a lot of countries who should know better who are making good profit off the arms sales and I think some effort through the (U.N. Security) Council to put some limitations on that would be well worth looking at,” he said. ETHIOMEDIA.COM – ETHIOPIA’S PREMIER NEWS AND VIEWS WEBSITE © COPYRIGHT 20001-2003 ETHIOMEDIA.COM.
