‘Proximity talks’ postponed

    NAIROBI

    The ‘proximity talks’ on the subject of the technical arrangements for the OAU peace plan failed to transpire on Friday 24 March, delayed by Eritrea’s insistence on clarification in advance of the format for discussions and specific issues to be addressed. In a statement issued by the cabinet, Eritrea expressed its willingness to cooperate in ongoing OAU efforts to establish peace but demanded, “in order to ensure the success of the new round of efforts,” that “the specific issues for discussion as well as the format and modalities of the discussion must be fully clarified in advance.” It also insisted that the OAU should officially announce that the technical arrangements, “which had been submitted as non-amendable,” were now open for discussion by both sides.
