Sudan’s military says Ethiopia has killed seven Sudanese soldiers and a civilian who were held captive by Addis Ababa, the latest sign of the deteriorating ties between the two east African nations. A Sudanese military statement late Sunday described the killings as a “cowardly act” and added that Khartoum will retaliate accordingly. #Sudan accuses the Ethiopian army of executing seven Sudanese soldiers and a civilian who were captives. Ethiopia, in turn, says Sudan took advantage of the deadly conflict in Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region to enter Ethiopian territory. It has called for Sudanese troops to return to positions they held before the Tigray fighting erupted in November 2020, pitting Ethiopia’s federal forces against regional fighters.
