Libya offers help

    NAIROBI

    The Libyan leader, Mu’ammar al-Qadhafi, held talks with representatives from Ethiopia and Eritrea in an effort to assist in the peace process, the Libyan news agency Jana said on Wednesday. It said Qadhafi had informed the two countries of his readiness to contribute towards resolving the prisoners-of-war issue, and consolidating the ceasefire between them. Releases of prisoners-of-war were recently halted over the issue of the whereabouts of an Ethiopian pilot captured in Asmara, Eritrea, during the two-year border war.
