ERITREAN troops are still occupying “Ethiopian terrority” and digging in to hold their positions in defiance of an Organisation of African Unity peace plan, the Ethiopian government said on Saturday. The Addis Ababa government said: “Eritrean troops continue to occupy the [northern] Zala Anbesa-Aiga region, [northeastern] Bada-Bure region and [northern] Egala region. The Eritrean army is making frantic efforts to further reinforce its trenches along these lines and mobilize additional troops to these areas.” Last weekend Ethiopia claimed a “total victory” after the fall of Badme and a letter from Eritrean president to the United Nations accepting an OAU peace plan. However, the Eritrean authorities have not officially informed its people of their acceptance of the plan, which calls for the withdrawal of troops to their pre-war positions.
