Diaspora holds peace rallies

    NAIROBI

    Eritreans in the diaspora on Tuesday held peace rallies to urge the international community to step up its efforts to end the war between their country and Ethiopia. A statement from the rallies’ organisers in Canada said it was part of a worldwide effort to call upon the international community to help bring about an end to the “senseless slaughter that now seems to characterise the border conflict”. The demonstrations were held in the US, Europe, Africa, Canada and Australia. Among the key demands of the marchers were an immediate ceasefire and a peaceful resolution of the conflict. They also called upon Ethiopia to accept the OAU peace plan.
