UNITED NATIONS: Eritrea on Monday blasted its neighbor Ethiopia and blamed U.S. policies across the Horn of Africa for the worsening situation in the region.

"Ethiopia's reckless acts of aggression continue to be supported by the United States," Osman Saleh, Eritrea's minister of foreign affairs, told the U.N. General Assembly.

He contended that Ethiopia's continuing "blatant occupation" of Eritrean territory led to the U.N. Security Council decision in July to end the world body's peacekeeping mission monitoring a 620-mile (1,000-kilometer) long buffer zone between the two neighbors.

Eritrea and Ethiopia have been feuding over their border since Eritrea gained independence in 1993 after a 30-year guerrilla war. The U.N. entered under a 2000 peace agreement that ended a 30-month border war in which at least 70,000 people died.

Ethiopia has refused to accept an independent boundary commission's 2002 ruling awarding the key town of Badme to Eritrea.

"The U.N. Security Council has been paralyzed and rendered impotent in the face of Ethiopia's occupation of sovereign Eritrean territories," Saleh said.

He said Washington's support for Ethiopia in that dispute and its backing of the Ethiopian "occupation" of Somalia was fomenting regional conflicts.

"The situation in the Horn of Africa may, indeed, spiral out of control unless these destabilizing practices are brought to an end," Saleh said.

His Ethiopian counterpart Seyoum Mesfin told the U.N. ministerial meeting that his country stands committed to resolve all outstanding issues with Eritrea through "peaceful, political, legal and diplomatic means."
