UK expresses concern over Ethiopia's incursion into Eritrea

British Foreign Office Minister for Africa Henry Bellingham expressed his country's concern about Ethiopia's incursion into Eritrea. UK "urges both sides to adhere to the principles of international law and to avoid all actions that could create tensions and lead to an escalation in violence," Bellingham said. Bellingham added that this position would aggravate tensions between the two countries and will affect the efforts to support security and stability throughout the Horn of Africa. In another context he, British Foreign Secretary William Hague expressed his country's happiness for the arrest of former Libyan Intelligence Chief Abdullah Sanusi in Mauritania. Sanusi "must now be held to account for his actions and face trial on the charges brought against him" Hague said, calling all involved to co-operate with the International Criminal Court (ICC).
