27 July - The United Nations took another step in its efforts to maintain the impetus of a ceasefire accord between Ethiopia and Eritrea as it opened today its liaison office in the Eritrean capital of Asmara.
"The Secretary-General in his last report on Ethiopia and Eritrea announced his intention to dispatch liaison officers to the two capitals to keep the momentum of the cessation of hostilities agreement and to expedite planning for a possible UN peacekeeping mission," a UN spokesman said today in New York.
The Secretary-General's next report on Ethiopia-Eritrea, which contains recommendations by the reconnaissance team led by General Timothy Ford, is due out tomorrow, the spokesman said.
