Assembly/AU/2 (XI) Page 6 ground for the development of separatism. The AU, which has been present in the Comoros right from the beginning of the crisis in Anjouan, will continue to assist and support the efforts of the Comorian Government, particularly through the AU Electoral and Security Assistance Mission to the Comoros (MAES), whose mandate was renewed by the PSC for an additional six month period, at its 124th Meeting held on 30 April 2008. 26. In Kenya, the post-electoral crisis was overcome, with the signing, on 28 February 2008, by President Mwai Kibaki and Hon. Raila Odinga, of the National Accord and Reconciliation Act, as well as the Agreement on the Principles of Partnership of the Coalition Government. Since then, a number of steps have been taken to implement the commitments made, including the adoption by the Kenyan Parliament of the Constitutional Amendment Act and the National Accord and Reconciliation Act, and the establishment of an enlarged Cabinet. The parties should be encouraged to remain steadfast in their efforts. 27. In Somalia the security and humanitarian situation is still precarious and the period under consideration was marked by notable progress in the reconciliation process, with the signing in Djibouti on 9 June 2008, of an Agreement between the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) and the Alliance for the Re-liberation of Somalia (ARS), under the auspices of the United Nations with the support of the AU and other members of the international community.

Now, the important thing is for the international community to fully mobilize in order to consolidate this progress, including through the rapid deployment of a United Nations peacekeeping operation that will take over from the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM). At the same time, efforts should be pursued to bring the other Somali actors to join the peace process and to renounce violence. 28.

Furthermore, and as a result of the increasing restrictions facing the United Nations Mission in Ethiopia and Eritrea (UNMEE), in particular the decision by Eritrea to stop all fuel supplies to the Mission last December, UNMEE was compelled to temporarily relocate its military personnel and equipment from Eritrea and to suspend the implementation of its operations on that side of the border. The Security Council is due to review the future of the Mission at the expiry of its mandate on 31 July 2008, on the basis of the proposals put forward by the UN Secretary General in his report of 7 April 2008. Against this background, there is need for more sustained and coordinated efforts to help the parties to overcome the current stalemate in the demarcation process and normalize their relations. 29. The situation obtaining at the border between the Republic of Djibouti and the State of Eritrea and the tension which characterizes the relations between the two countries is a source of serious concern. It should be recalled here that on 24 April 2008, the Djiboutian Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation addressed a letter to the Chairperson of the PSC for the month of April 2008, to inform him that Eritrea had been occupying, since 16 April 2008, part of Djiboutian territory, in the Ras Doumeira region. The Minister also reviewed the increased presence of Eritrean forces on some parts of the common border between the two
