The Secretary General of the United Nations has expressed his deep concern about the escalations of tensions in the region of the Horn of Africa. Mr. Annan called on the international Security Council to support Eritrea and Ethiopia to resolve their border difference that has become a major factor that threats the stability of the region. Mr. Annan, who attributed the aggravation of the situation between the two countries to the lack of political negotiations, has asked the Security Council to visit Eritrea and Ethiopia to observe the situation on the real ground.
