Addis Ababa \u2014 Ethiopia was Thursday asked to pull out 2,500 militias who invaded Kenyan territory last month.<\/p>\n

At a ministerial meeting in Addis Ababa Thursday, a high-powered Kenyan delegation took exception to the deteriorating border security and asked for better cooperation to prevent bloodshed.<\/p>\n

The delegation composed of eight ministers and other senior officials was led by Internal Security Minister and acting Foreign minister George Saitoti.<\/p>\n

The Defence ministers of both countries were asked to take back to Ethiopia the militiamen who killed more than 20 Kenyans.This should be done by the military or through negotiations.<\/p>\n

Ethiopian Defence Minister Siraj Fegessa declined to comment on the planned action, but said a security team was working on a smooth way of conducting the operation.<\/p>\n

Kenyan Lands Minister James Orengo said both countries must give the border issue great attention.<\/p>\n

“Failing to stop such killings on both sides is ignoring the core value of human rights,” Mr Orengo said.<\/p>\n

The ministerial meeting’s co-chairperson, Ethiopian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Hailemariam Desalegn, said the recent border conflict was unfortunate and that his country would act to avoid insecurity along the joint border.<\/p>\n

He also acknowledged a recent border security arrangement proposed by a joint border commission, which met in Nairobi on May 27.<\/p>\n

The new agreement proposes more security measures, including joint border patrols, and starting development projects for local communities.<\/p>\n

The two countries signed a border security agreement seven years ago, but the implementation was weak due to “unexplained reasons”.<\/p>\n

At yesterday’s meeting, Kenya also sought a new water sharing “framework agreement” with Ethiopia, mainly on Omo River.<\/p>\n

The team sought the establishment of a technical committee to study the impact of an Ethiopian dam project on Kenya.<\/p>\n

Ethiopia plans to build the Gibe III Dam, which is expected to generate 1870 MW of power on Omo River.<\/p>\n

It is feared that this could have a negative effect on Kenyans living around Lake Turkana.<\/p>\n
