ADDIS ABABA – Djibouti on Wednesday called for the release of a military officer allegedly captured by the Eritrean army.

“Eritrea must release the military officer it captured on July 25,” the Djiboutian Defense Ministry said in a statement.

The ministry accused the Eritrean army of detaining the officer, who, it said, had been accompanying a Qatari military delegation to the demilitarized zone on the border between the two countries.

The ministry went on to warn that Eritrea’s failure to release the officer would endanger a Qatari-mediated peace process between the two states.

“The mediation process will be jeopardized if Eritrea fails to release the Djiboutian military officer, who was captured while accompanying a Qatari military delegation visiting the demilitarized zone,” it stated.

Since 2010, Qatar has mediated between the two countries following a war between them in 2008.

Under Qatari mediation, Djibouti released hundreds of Eritrean prisoners and handed them over to the United Nations.

Eritrea, for its part, has yet to follow suit.

“Qatar is also responsible for the capture of the Djiboutian military officer, since he was with its delegation at the time of his capture,” the ministry said, urging Qatar to pressure Eritrea to release the officer.

“It should also pressure Eritrea to live up to its international commitments on such matters,” the ministry added.

    Responsible leaders fight against poverty , ignorance for the sake of
    long term goal for healthy future .
    For the last 24 years DIA championed
    only confrontations within the country
    and neighboring regions .
    That is what he is good at . Deceived people fell at the hands of corrupted
    politicians and wrong circle . We choose to wait silently where the end
    will lead us , big mistake to gamble for
    your future to depend on hand over .

    We need to rise up United to settle our issues . Eritrean made problem must uprooted by only Eritreans . We can do it if we want to seriously.

    Isayas has always been a negative thinker. When it comes to good thoughts, he is extremely handicapped.
    Isayas needs few items for his daily life: Whisky, hate, and isolation

      Hi Ebola

      Your pen name says it all. Do you know how many people have died because of Ebola virus, the ugliest pen name you choose and therefore such people like you should be isolated forever. You are trying to change the course of nature just like your muster, the evil Isasayas once tried regarding Bademe. But, stone headed people never learn and for sure, you Ebola, you are one of them.
