By Gonzalo Gallegos, Director of Public Relations , U.S. Department of State WASHINGTON, D.C. Jun 11, 2008

The following is a press statement released by the Department of State on June 11, 2008:

The United States condemns Eritrea's military aggression against Djibouti in the vicinity of the border between the two countries at Ras Doumeira. These hostilities represent an additional threat to peace and security in the already volatile Horn of Africa. We understand that at least nine Djiboutians have been killed and over 60 injured as a result of the Eritrean attacks.

We call on both sides to cease all military hostilities immediately and to reduce tensions by withdrawing troops from the border area. The United States calls on Eritrea and Djibouti to move forward at once to resolve border issues peacefully, in accordance with international law, and for Eritrea to accept offers of third party mediation in this regard.
