SUBJECT: Ethiopia to ignore UNSC, for now, on the border 
 
Summary 
------- 
 
1. (SBU) Ethiopian State Minister Tekeda Alemu told Ambassador May 
17 that Ethiopia was deeply frustrated that Eritrea was allowed to 
restrict UN Mission in Ethiopia and Eritrea (UNMEE) troop movement 
and end the UNMEE mission without consequence, thus negating the 
Cessation of Hostilities Agreement, the fundamental treaty ending 
the Ethiopia-Eritrea border war and binding both Eritrea and 
Ethiopia to the Algiers Accord process for resolving their bilateral 
problems and the border dispute.  Tekeda said discussions by the 
UNSC of the Belgium proposals and a speech by DPKO Under Secretary 
Guehenno on April 22 convey to Ethiopia that the UNSC will not 
reaffirm and "restore" the conditions established by the Cessation 
of Hostilities Agreement (a neutral demilitarized Temporary Security 
Zone, troops from both sides positioned away from the TSZ and 
commitment not to use violence).  For now, Ethiopia will ignore the 
UNSC or remain quiet on UNSC proposals.  Dropping out of the Algiers 
process remains an option for Ethiopia if they feel Eritrean action, 
such as encroachment into Djiboutian territory and continued actions 
along the border, are not addressed by the UNSC.  End Summary. 
 
Cessation of Hostilities Agreement is Abrogated 
--------------------------------------------- -- 
 
2. (SBU) State Minister Tekeda, Ethiopia's point person for the 
border issue, remarked to Ambassador that the Ethiopian Government 
(GoE) is deeply frustrated that the UNSC took no action to curb 
Eritrea's actions to restrict UNMEE troop activities and end the 
UNMEE mission.  He said Foreign Minister Seyoum and Prime Minister 
Meles were particularly disappointed with UNDPKO Under Secretary 
Guehenno's speech to the UNSC on April 22 and what they view as the 
UN seeking to move beyond the UNMEE operation to other measures that 
could be taken to move the peace process forward.  Tekeda stressed 
that there can be no forward movement on the resolution of the 
border without the firm commitment of the parties, the UN, and 
Witnesses to the Algiers Accord to support the two basic agreements 
(Algiers Accord and Cessation of Hostilities Agreement) which bind 
the parties together to resolve themselves the problems that divide 
them and the border dispute.  Further, the UNSC discussions on the 
Belgium proposals also ignore the sanctity of the two agreements. 
Tekeda's point was that you cannot get to point C (sustainable 
peace) without ensuring that points A (Algiers Accord) and B 
(Cessation of Hostilities Agreement) are complied with by both 
parties. 
 
3. (SBU) Ambassador urged Tekeda that the GoE should not drop out of 
the Algiers process because then the UNSC would clearly focus on 
Ethiopia as ending the peace process and will overlook Eritrea's 
indiscretions, no matter how serious they may be to future UN 
peacekeeping operations.  Tekeda responded that for now, the GoE 
would remain quiet, not commenting on any UNSC activities and 
proposals.  Dropping out of the Algiers process remains an option, 
however, Tekeda noted. 
 
4. (SBU) Should UN DPA Under Secretary Lyn Pascoe visit the region, 
Tekeda said the GoE would meet with and discuss any issue with 
Ambassador Pascoe, but would not commit to any proposal at this 
time, especially any request for a UN observer mission to be placed 
only in Ethiopia.  Tekeda said earlier, the GoE was very supportive 
of this idea, as well as proposing other ideas to move the border 
discussions forward including normalization talks with Eritrea, a 
long-standing Ethiopian position, and the selection of a special 
envoy. 
 
Comment 
------- 
 
5. (SBU) Consideration of any UNSC resolution on the border or 
adoption of any Belgium proposals, for now, would be 
counterproductive given Ethiopia's current frustration level.  A 
visit by Ambassador Pascoe or other UN officials, prior to any 
action on the border, could be helpful in engaging the Ethiopians, 
defusing problems between the GoE and the UN, and calming their 
angst with the UNSC over the handling of Eritrea's treatment of the 
UNMEE troops and its mission.   Ambassador reviewed the border issue 
with the ambassadors from Italy, UK, and France, all of whom 
expressed frustration with problems in moving the peace process 
forward. End Comment.
