1. The Union of African Parliaments has said that "it could have been unaware of Eritrea's point of view when it passed a resolution regarding the border conflict between Eritrea and Ethiopia in Niamey, Niger, last June." In a letter to Eritrean Foreign Minister Haile Woldensae, UAP Secretary General Henri Abdou Sess conceded that Eritrea's absence at the 21st Conference must be taken into consideration in reviewing the resolution. He said, "the aim of the conference was not to side with any one party." The Union has now invited Eritrea to join the UAP "so that such situations can be avoided in the future." The Secretary General reiterated the UAP's desire to see a peaceful resolution of the conflict and to serve as a neutral facilitator to that end. Veronica Rentmeesters, Information Officer
