Eritrea's Ministerial Cabinet has issued a statement reaffirming Eritrea's standing commitment to peace but warned that any tampering with the OAU Framework Agreement would not bring about a lasting solution to the conflict between Eritrea and Ethiopia. The Cabinet, which met yesterday, said Eritrea remained engaged in the agreed OAU Framework Agreement and resolved in defense of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Eritrea. The Cabinet reviewed national development projects currently underway and explored ways and means of pursuing the development agenda with increased fervor. The ministers and cabinet members reviewed favorably the extensive support and unity of Eritreans at home and living abroad in the face of the TPLF's continued aggression. The meeting condemned the renewed deportation of Eritreans from Ethiopia and noted with dismay the lack of international
condemnation of these acts.
