ETHIOPIA-ERITREA: UN pushes for access to border areas
The United Nations has asked Ethiopia and Eritrea to provide access to
people in need along their border, where UN peacekeepers are set to arrive
to oversee the withdrawal of troops, the UN Special Coordinator on
Internal Displacement Dennis McNamara said on Friday, after returning to
the US from the region. "We've asked for that access. ICRC [the
International Committee of the Red Cross] has it, we don't have it, we
should have it - there are civilians there," McNamara told reporters in
New York.
