A series of meetings between religious leaders from Ethiopia and Eritrea and war-affected communities in the disputed border region has been postponed. Arne Saeveraas, Country Director of the facilitating agency, Norwegian Church Aid, told IRIN that the Ethiopian delegation had called the mission off at the last moment, because it had not been able to finalise preparations for the visit. The mission, originally scheduled for 19 to 21 May, had been provisionally rescheduled for the end of July, but could go ahead as soon as the Ethiopian side was ready, he said.
