December 24 - 2020 KHARTOUM / HAMDAYETThe border demarcation negotiations between Sudanese and Ethiopian government delegations in Khartoum were concluded yesterday afternoon without any results. The lack of clear border markers has made it easy for Ethiopian militants to occupy fertile farmlands in eastern El Gedaref. Farmers in El Fashaga, backed by the El Gedaref governor, demanded in July that these lands be returned to them. They are supposed to be transferred to the Um Rakouba refugee camp in El Gedaref, but transport has stopped since Monday. The Ethiopian army took Tigray’s capital Mekelle at the end of November.
