KHARTOUM (Reuters) - Sudan said on Thursday its forces had taken control of all of Sudanese territory in a border area settled by Ethiopian farmers, after weeks of clashes. Ethiopia, for its part, accused its neighbour of sending forces into its territory for attacks. Clashes have occurred in recent weeks over agricultural land in the al-Fashqa area, which lies within Sudan's international boundaries but has been settled by Ethiopian farmers for years. On Saturday, Sudan said it had taken control of most, but not all, of the territory. At a news conference on Tuesday, Ethiopia's foreign ministry spokesman Dina Mufti accused Sudan of sending troops onto its land.
