    ABIDJAN

    Meanwhile, the Facilitation Committee to the Sierra Leonean peace talks briefed President Gnassingbe Eyadema of Togo, current chairman of ECOWAS, on Wednesday following its one-day trip to Freetown and Monrovia, according to UNOMSIL.

    In an interview given afterwards, Ambassador Francis G. Okelo, the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Sierra Leone, said much had been achieved during the dialogue for peace.

    Speaking on behalf of the Facilitation Committee, he added that two issues still needed to be resolved: the post-conflict role of ECOMOG and the modality of participation of the RUF in the government.
