Paragraph 5
5. Considers it desirable to seize the twofold opportunity presented by the opening up of the succession to the late Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, who died on 20 August 2012, and by the election on 10 September 2012 of the new Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, to work – helped by the Strategic Framework for the Horn of Africa, with the support of the EUSR in the region, the EEAS and national diplomats, as well as with the support of the African Union – towards the establishment of normal diplomatic and economic relations between Ethiopia and Eritrea, and the resolution of the Somali crisis, which would benefit the development of the whole region; notes that the Great Lakes region, which borders the western fringes of the Horn of Africa, is also one of the world's most unstable regions, including some seriously under- developed countries that are plagued by armed violence (Democratic Republic of Congo) and even by wars with one or more of their neighbours (tensions between Rwanda, which is part of the Horn of Africa in the wider sense, and the Democratic Republic of Congo); stresses that in implementing the European strategy for the Horn of Africa we cannot ignore its possible repercussions for the much- needed development of its neighbouring regions (mainly the Great Lakes, Central Africa and Southern Africa).
