UN calls on Eritrea, Ethiopia to accept border demarcation plan

The UN Security Council has called on Ethiopia and Eritrea to accept an independent plan to mark the border under disputes between them completely following a war that lasted two years.

The UN Security Council renewed the work of the UN mission which assumed the peace keeping plan in the border area between the two countries for an additional 6 months until September 15 this year.

In messages he had sent to the Ethiopian prime minister Meleis Zenawi and President of Eritrea Asyas Afourki, the UN chief Kofi Annan called for investing this unique opportunity in order to enhance bilateral peace and solve the under dispute border area, according to a peace agreement signed between them in 2000 that permits an independent committee in the Hague, Holland to demarcate new border between the two countries.
