Ethiopia and Eritrea have been informed of a new border drawn up by an international committee in a bid to end a long-standing conflict and bring peace to the Horn of Africa. The 96-member state Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) in The Hague conveyed its decision to both countries on Saturday, court spokesman Dane Ratliff told Reuters. U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan has urged both countries to accept and implement the border commission's ruling. Annan has described it as a milestone in resolving their 1998-2000 conflict which has claimed an estimated 70,000 lives.
