Sudan’s second-most powerful leader met Ethiopia’s defense minister during a rare visit to Addis Ababa by an official from Khartoum amid border tensions, officials say. Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, widely known as Hemeti, who is deputy chairman of Sudan’s Transitional Sovereignty Council, will be in Ethiopia for two days to meet “several Ethiopian officials”, the state news agency reported. He was welcomed Saturday at Addis Ababa airport by Ethiopian Defense Minister Abraham Belay, according to a statement from the Sudanese ruling council. Al-Fashaqa also borders Ethiopia’s troubled Tigray region, and tens of thousands of Ethiopian refugees have crossed into Sudan to flee the fighting.
