The Government of Eritrea has been closely following the latest statements on the Eritrea-Ethiopia issue as publicized whether by the UN Security Council or even in the name of “witnesses of the Algiers Agreement”.
As expressed time and again, the final and binding decision of the Boundary Commission marks the legal conclusion of the Eritrea-Ethiopia issue once and for all. In light of the fact that the technicalities of the border demarcation and the detailed directives of implementation have been long worked out by the very commission, entertaining further “initiatives and consultations” would be utterly irrelevant. The Government of Eritrea looks forward solely to the professional dispensation of the final technicalities based on the directives of the Boundary Commission, nothing less and nothing more.
Any attempts to derail the dispensation of the border demarcation from its legal course or even entertain other “alternative mechanisms' suggestive of dragging behind or holding up the process will have no legal bearings or serve any other purpose than to prompt events that would set off a dangerous precedent. Thus, the Government of Eritrea does not recognize nor accept these deviations.
