The African Union said Eritrea’s release of four Djiboutian prisoners is a positive step in improving relations between the neighboring nations, which fought a three-day war in 2008.
The four were released after mediation efforts by Qatar, according to United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon’s office. African Union Commission Chairwoman Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma said Monday their freeing was a move in the “right direction” in the process of the two Horn of Africa countries normalizing relations.
