All quiet on the US front
Gov't Concerned Over USA Silence On Peace Initiative
The Daily Monitor (Addis Ababa) December 28, 2004 - The government of Ethiopia has expressed its deep concern over the United States of America's (USA) silence on the newly introduced five-point peace proposal aimed at ending the border row with Eritrea.
It is odd that the US has said nothing given the wholehearted support from the EU and other leading nations. The rumour here is that the US does not want to offend Eritrea because it wants to site a military base there. Who knows. The US also took an unusually long time to comment on the tsunami.
