    Appeals for an end to the fighting have been made by ECOWAS chairman Gnassingbe Eyadema of Togo and the Portuguese secretary of state for foreign affairs, Luis Amado. In a statement, Eyadema said respect for the ceasefire was indispensable to the deployment of ECOMOG, the withdrawal of Guinean and Senegalese troops and the functioning of the government of national unity - all of which are envisaged under a peace accord reached in 1998.
