Ethiopia/Eritrea International Pressure to Normalise Ties rises

International pressure is mounting on Ethiopia and Eritrea to normalise ties, three years after the end of a bloody war, following the UN Security Council's renewal of the six-month mandate of its peacekeeping mission in both countries. The Security Council resolution, passed late last week, that renewed the mandate of UNMEE - the United Nations Mission in Ethiopia and Eritrea - called on the two warring Horn of Africa nations to settle their differences through dialogue.
