November 20 in the #History of #Eritrea.
1. On Nov. 20 1989, #EPLF & the #Ethiopian gov/Derg began peace talks in #Nairobi, #Kenya under the auspices of @CarterCenter & by the invitation of President Arap Moi of Kenya. The peace talks lasted until November 29.
2. At Nairobi Peace talks, they agreed on 3 issues that weren't agreed upon in #Atlanta, cleared the way for substantive negotiations, agreed to invite ex #Tanzanian Pres. Nyerere to be co-host wz Carter during the main talks & the 2 agreed to choose the sec & support staff.
3. The most difficult issue that the Parties discussed & finally agreed was "who would serve as int'l observer" during the main talks. 7 observers, 2 by each Party & 3 by mutual consent. #Kenya, #Sudan, #Tanzania, #OAU, #Zimbabwe & #Senegal were invited & accepted the invitation
4. The #UN declined to serve as an observer. Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar, in a telephone conversation with Carter, explained that the organization could only become active in conflicts between two member states.
5. In July 1990, following #EPLF|s historic victory to take control of the Port of #Massawa,( on Feb. 10, 1990), #Ethiopia/Derg wrote to then #UNSG that Ethiopia withdrew it objection to #UN|s participation in the Peace Process.
