UNMEE personnel and equipment to regroup in Asmara

New York, 19 February: The United Nations peacekeeping mission in Ethiopia and Eritrea (UNMEE) is to regroup its personnel and equipment in Asmara to speed its relocation following Eritrea's lack of cooperation with a temporary move across the border into Ethiopia.

A UN spokesperson said today that the Security Council and troop contributing countries were informed of this last Friday.
