August 24, 2022 (KHARTOUM) – Ethiopia downed a plane carrying weapons to the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) an armed group fighting the national army in the northern part of the country, said the official news agency on Wednesday. The agency described the plane as “the property of Ethiopia’s historical enemies” without openly accusing a country of supporting the TPLF. In Khartoum, the Sudanese government did not react to the Ethiopian statement. On August 23, South Sudanese presidential adviser Tut Gatluak told Sudan Tribune that Sudan and Ethiopia agreed in principle to end the border dispute through peaceful dialogue instead of military means. Gatluak was in Khartoum to hand over an invitation from President Salva Kiir to Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan to attend the graduation of the first unified forces in South Sudan.
