Libyan mediation reportedly accepted

Both Ethiopia and Eritrea have agreed to a Libyan proposal for resolving their border conflict, the Libyan Jana news agency reported on Friday. The peace proposal was in conformity with the OAU Framework Agreement, Jana said, adding that "intensive diplomatic contacts" were underway to organise a meeting of all the parties under OAU auspices. An envoy of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi had travelled to Ethiopia and Eritrea last week to determine both countries' views on the proposal, Jana said.
