It is to be recalled that in November 2007, the Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission (EEBC) clearly delimited the boundary lines in the 1,000 Km long border between the two countries in 45 different maps based on its decision of April 2002 and presented copies of those maps to the UN Cartography Department.

UNMEE was established for six months by Security Council resolution 1312 (2000) pursuant to the Algiers Ceasefire Agreement which ended the 1998-2000 Ethiopian-Eritrean border war. Nevertheless, UNMEES’ mandate had been extended further by subsequent Security Council Resolution, to July 31, 2008.

In his latest hours Seyoum Mesfin is defending UNMEE instead his own future. (We all remember that Seyoum Mesfin is a political chameleon with positions that change as radically as that camouflaged lizard's colour and we all remember that he can not repeat what he said yesterday) 

February 2008 — To the amusements of the peace loving and rule abiding people of the world what is happening in Eritrea and Ethiopia is a good example of the double standards of the UNSC.

PRESS RELEASE 20 February 2008 - With the conclusion of the Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission on the final demarcation decision and termination of its operations at the end of last November, regrettably there has been a rush from the United Nations

UNITED NATIONS, Feb 20 (Reuters) - Eritrea accused the United Nations on Wednesday of making false accusations during a standoff over U.N. peacekeepers who have been trying to withdraw from the Eritrean-Ethiopian border.

Latest UN Briefing: - Due to the lack of cooperation by Eritrean Authorities in the Mission's efforts to temporarily relocate into Ethiopia, the UN Mission in Ethiopia and Eritrea (UNMEE) has been instructed to regroup in Asmara all personnel and equipment in Eritrea. This move will facilitate further relocation out of the country.

UNITED NATIONS—Eritrean officials refused to grant U.N. peacekeepers permission to cross from Eritrea into Ethiopia, prompting them to regroup in the capital instead, U.N. officials said Tuesday.

The UN is trying to sieve out the gnat and swallowing the Camel in its attempt to resolve the 'Cris's' in Eritrea. The UN instead of focusing on the real issue of the intransigence of the Ethiopian government is trying to make the temporary 'peace' keeping mission a permanent one.

On 27 November 2007, the US Institute for Peace (USIP) convened an interesting discussion with Jean-Marc Coicaud, Head of the United Nations University (UNU) office at UN headquarters in New York
