Or, another Diversion by Meles Zelawi? Regime After Ethiopian Regime troops launched assault upon Eritrea, the UNSG Ban Ki-moon issued a statement. The Eritrean Government has also been subject of UN Security Council sanctions for its purported “destabilizing actions” in the region. On the other hand, Ethiopia has been accused of serious violations on international humanitarian law against its own citizens particularly Ogaden, oppressed dissent, locked up international and domestic journalists and launched raids into neighboring Somalia as well. While the longstanding Regime of Menes Zelawi has secured tacit support from the West in its purported battle against “Islamic Radicals,” it has also courted Beijing. China funded construction of African Union HQ in Addis Ababa just completed end of last year. The UNSG also took note that Ethiopia’s Regime has refused to accept the border arbitration results of a “Boundary Commission” that was to have concluded all conflict between Ethiopia and Eritrea (and where Bosnia/Herzegovina troops have been stationed as peacekeepers).

However, Ethiopia’s rejection of the decision reached by the commission in 2002 stalled the physical demarcation of the border in 2003. The Secretary-General urged both parties to respect each other’s territorial integrity.” Also See our Previous Blog for Video Report – “Eritrea: UN Security Council Debates New Sanctions” - www.filmannex.com/posts/blog_show_post/eritrea-un-security-council-to-debate-new-sanctions-by-ambassador-mo/36364 By Ambassador Muhamed Sacirbey – Follow @MuhamedSacirbey Facebook = Become a Fan at “Diplomatically Incorrect” Twitter – Follow us at DiplomaticallyX See more at our Popular Video Blogs & Current News Event Articles at diplomaticallyincorrect.org/c/war-crimes-justice
