East Africa: UN mission in Ethiopia and Eritrea extended as border talks continue

The United Nations Security Council has decided to extend the mandate of the United Nations Mission in Ethiopia and Eritrea (UNMEE) for one month, to allow recently revived border talks between the two countries a chance to break a volatile deadlock. Through a resolution adopted unanimously by the 15-member body, the Council also reiterated its demands that Eritrea end its restrictions on UNMEE operations and that Ethiopia abide by decisions of the commission designated to demark a permanent border between the two countries.
