Eritrea expels members of UN peacekeeping mission
Eritrea’s order to expel US, Canadian and European members of the UN peacekeeping mission that monitors the tense border with neighbouring Ethiopia is likely to raise concerns about whether the peacekeepers can work effectively.
The UN Mission in Ethiopia and Eritrea received the letter from Eritrea yesterday, but the details of the expulsion order were to be worked out, said Musi Khumalo, deputy spokeswoman of the UN mission.
