Text: Tensions Flare as Sudan Adds More Forces near Ethiopia Tensions are rising between Sudan and Ethiopia after Sudanese Army chief General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan ordered the deployment of additional troops and anti-aircraft systems to the Al-Fashaga border region and Gedaref state near the Ethiopian frontier. The move follows accusations by authorities in Port Sudan that Ethiopia launched drone strikes from Bahir Dar targeting several locations inside Sudan, including Khartoum International Airport, and supported rival armed groups involved in the country’s three-year civil war. Ethiopia rejected the allegations as “baseless” and warned of “external actors pursuing malicious agendas” in the region.
