Eritrea: Government unbowed by UN demands on Ethiopian border force

Eritrea said Tuesday it would not lift restrictions imposed last year on United Nations peacekeepers monitoring its tense border with Ethiopia, despite fresh demands from the world body. Yemane Gebremeskel, director of Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki's office, said the latest resolution, which gives Ethiopia and Eritrea until May to comply with earlier demands, was based on an unfair premise.
