Sudan issues a warning to Ethiopia over drone attacks
The Sudanese government has condemned drone attacks on its territory, reportedly originating from Ethiopia, and has warned of the implications of these actions.
The Sudanese government expressed serious concerns and condemned recent drone attacks on its territory, asserting that these attacks were launched from Ethiopia. Sudanese officials have labeled these incursions as 'blatant aggression' and have cited them as a direct violation of Sudan's sovereignty. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized the need to address these aggressive acts and noted ongoing surveillance of drone activities that have reportedly targeted Sudanese soil during February and early March.
In its statement, the Sudanese government warned Ethiopian authorities about the ramifications of such hostile actions and reaffirmed its right to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity by any means necessary. This marks the first time Ethiopia has been directly accused of involvement in the ongoing conflict involving Sudan's military and Rapid Support Forces, a war that has persisted for nearly three years. The Sudanese foreign ministry has called on the international community to take heed of this escalating conflict and the threats posed by such drone activities.
Furthermore, the issue of cross-border militia training and support was highlighted in a recent UN Security Council meeting, where Egypt's representative, Osama Abdel Khalek, raised alarms about Ethiopian involvement in allegedly facilitating militia movements against Sudan. This situation underscores the growing tensions in the region and the potential for further conflict, raising concerns over regional stability and security in the context of the ongoing strife between Sudan and Ethiopia.
