On Friday, representatives of Addis Ababa in the Ethiopian-Sudanese Joint Borders Committee accused the Sudanese army of "killing and displacing" Ethiopian farmers living along the border between the two countries, describing this as "unacceptable." The statement said that the border demarcation agreement was signed for the first time in 1902, but the two sides did not specify it. The statement added that "the Sudanese army has killed, displaced, and severely damaged Ethiopian farmers living along the border, which is unacceptable. There is pressure from external forces that do not want friendship between the two countries. The Sudanese side must work to reach a solution that is consistent with the previous agreement between the two countries."
