The UN Security Council on Tuesday called on Ethiopia and Eritrea to cooperate “fully and urgently” with the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) and to participate “constructively” in its efforts to settle the dispute between the two countries. In a press statement released after closed-door consultations on the OAU’s latest efforts to resolve the dispute, Council members expressed their “strong support” for the continuing peace process and for the work of the OAU and other interested parties. Members called on the two countries to work with the OAU in implementing the peace plan contained in the Framework Agreement and its Modalities for Implementation. They also urged “restraint” and underscored that they would continue to follow the situation “closely”.
