Eritrea/Ethiopia: Kofi Annan urges resolution of border dispute

The United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan has urged Eritrea and Ethiopia to resolve their border dispute, saying international peacekeepers could not remain in the region indefinitely. Speaking on Saturday in the Eritrean capital, Asmara, Annan said he was "optimistic" despite the deadlock over the dispute, but added that many crises around the world were stretching the UN's limited resources.
