    NAIROBI

    The Organisation of African Unity’s (OAU) special envoy Ahmed Ouyahia left Asmara on Friday after talks with President Isayas Aferwerki and government officials, according to a foreign ministry statement. The statement quoted the envoy as saying the OAU would “continue its search for peace”. He expressed confidence that Eritrea, which had formally accepted all three components of the peace plan presented to it by the OAU, would continue to cooperate with the organisation’s endeavours. President Isayas said his country “was committed to peace and would continue to cooperate with the OAU”. The envoy has now gone to Addis Ababa.
