Egypt calls for peaceful solution to disputes between Ethiopia and Eritrea

Egyptian Foreign Minister Amr Moussa said that President Hosni Mubarak is greatly concerned with following up on the dispute between Ethiopia and Eritrea in order to reach reconciliation through negotiations between the two countries.

Then Moussa said that this dispute negatively affects Africa, confirming that defusing the tension between the two countries is an important matter to Egypt.

Moussa also added that Egypt is following up on the mediation efforts made by some African countries such as Djibouti and Rwanda and outside Africa such as the U.S., and confirmed that Egypt is fully ready to do all it can to facilitate these efforts if it was asked to at any point.
