CAIRO (AP) — Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed held talks with various Sudanese leaders in Khartoum on Thursday, a sign of rekindling ties between the neighboring African countries, authorities said. According to Sudan’s official news outlet, Suna, both the "Renaissance Dam’’ and the border were discussed in a meeting between Ahmed and Sudan’s ruling general, Abdel-Fattah Burhan. Ethiopia says the multibillion dollar ‘’Renaissance Dam’’ is needed to bring electricity to millions of Ethiopians who lack power. During his visit, Ahmed met with various other Sudanese political leaders, many of whom are participating in talks seeking to end more than a year of military rule in Khartoum. The ruling military and a number of other political forces signed an initial agreement last December vowing to install a new civilian government.
