Peace process should be implemented “with seriousness”

    NAIROBI

    Reiterating its acceptance of the recent OAU proposal, a statement by the Eritrean government said on Thursday that ceasefire and the redeployment of troops “constitute key provisions of the OAU peace documents..(and)..are vital for terminating the war”. It said the OAU agreement must be signed and the enforcement of the provisions of the Agreement “should be verified on the ground in the shortest possible time”. It called on both sides to implement the peace process “without prevarication and with the requisite good faith and seriousness”. It called the war - which has continued during peace talks in Algeria - “unnecessary and avoidable”.
