UNITED NATIONS (AP) - The U.N. Security Council on Friday strongly condemned Eritrea's "lack of cooperation" with the U.N. peacekeepers monitoring the disputed border, demanding that it resume providing fuel and food and allow troops to move freely into Ethiopia.
Council members said Friday they will consider "further appropriate steps" — which they didn't specify — for the safety and protection of the peackeepers.
The council met in emergency session after Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Eritrea was obstructing the temporary relocation of the U.N. peacekeepers into Ethiopia. On Monday, Ban ordered the troops to relocate after Eritrea restricted their fuel supplies.
