The UN Security Council warned Eritrea on Thursday it would consider action against anyone undermining peace in Somalia, in a threat of possible sanctions on Asmara for alleged support to rebels.
The warning, in a formal statement, followed an appeal by African Union leaders last week to the 15-nation council to impose sanctions on Eritrea, which the AU said was aiding Islamist insurgents fighting Somali government forces.
Noting that request, the British-drafted statement said the council was "deeply concerned in this regard and will consider expeditiously what action to take against any party undermining the ... peace process" in the Horn of Africa state.
