HC Deb 25 October 1989 vol 158 cc483-4W
26. Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the situation in the Horn of Africa.

Mr. Waldegrave

The situation remains disturbed with continuing internal conflicts and reports of violations of human rights. There have, however, been some positive developments including the initiation of negotiations between the Ethiopian Government and the Eritrean People's Liberation Front, and the release of a number of political prisoners in Ethiopia and Somalia.
