US official to visit both countries

    NAIROBI

    A senior US official will visit Ethiopia and Eritrea later this week to review the humanitarian consequences of the recently-ended conflict between the two neighbours, the US embassy in Addis Ababa announced on Wednesday. An embassy statement said Ambassador Richard Bogosian, US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright’s Special Assistant to the Greater Horn of Africa, would also raise American concerns about human rights abuses in the region.
    Since a June ceasefire ending their two-year border war, Ethiopia and Eritrea have accused each other of human rights abuses in the expulsions by both countries of each other’s nationals.
