Archived News 07/04/2006 - UNMEE ENVOY LEAVES. NEW FORCE COOMANDER APPOINTED. ERITREA-ETHIOPIA: The top United Nations envoy to Ethiopia and Eritrea expressed both regret and determination in his farewell remarks on Thursday. "I leave with sadness that the border has not been demarcated, but with pride that I have led this mission for five-and-a-half years, even under difficult circumstances," said Legwaila Joseph Legwaila, the outgoing special representative of the Secretary-General at the UN Mission in Ethiopia and Eritrea (UNMEE). He called on all parties in the region to redouble their efforts to resolve the border stalemate between the two Horn of Africa nations. The peacekeeping mission, he said, would continue to carry out its mandate of creating conditions conducive to the demarcation of the contested border.
