Asmara urges UN pressure on Ethiopia for peace

    NAIROBI
    Eritrean Foreign Minister Haile Woldensae said on Tuesday, as he left Asmara to attend the UN General Assembly in New York, that he hoped member states would recall the Security Council's endorsement of the OAU Framework Agreement to end the conflict between Ethiopia and Eritrea, and pressure Addis Ababa to accept it, the official Eritrean News Agency reported on Wednesday. "The peace package currently being stalled by Ethiopia has been supported by the international community at large and we feel this is the proper time for meaningful pressure to be applied", it quoted Woldensae as saying.
