Description
Keeping the peace between Ethiopia and Eritrea
Four years ago, the leaders of Ethiopia and Eritrea met in Algiers and agreed to stop their war, let in UN peacekeepers, and abide by an international settlement of their border. At the time of this writing, the border settlement is being ignored by one country and a UN Special Envoy, Lloyd Axworthy, is being ignored by the other. Both sides are increasingly reluctant to cooperate with the UN peacekeepers.
Can the situation be turned around? In the face of increased peacekeeping needs across the African continent, how long will the international community continue to support an operation that is costing $15 million a month? What progress has been achieved, and how will it be sustained once the UN peacekeepers leave the Horn of Africa?
These are some of the issues discussed with the chief of the UN Mission in Ethiopia and Eritrea (UNMEE), Special Representative Legwaila Joseph Legwaila.
