Horn of Africa: Ethiopia and Eritrea given more time to meet UN demands

The Security Council on Monday (15 May) gave Ethiopia and Eritrea until the end of May to meet its demands that they accept the border drawn for them by outside experts and end all restrictions on UN peacekeepers. Should they fail to meet the UN demands, a resolution adopted unanimously by the 15-nation council pledged to quickly scale back the UN force preserving a shaky peace between the two former foes.
